On my 2006, it is written up in the parking brake area on a sticker either attached to the fuse box or right next to it, it was very hard to see I ended up using a mirror and a flashlight but it was there

I gave my 2006 to my cousin last year but I’m still a little curious. Maybe next time I see one in the junkyard I’ll take a hinge off and do a little experimenting on it

Prior to the battery swap, was the car jump started and if so any chance cables were reversed even for a second? Any chance when new battery was installed that the wires were touched to the wrong terminals even for a second?

If these trucks ever seem stuck in 4WD engaged (automatically), try pushing the 4WD High button, immediately followed by the Auto button. Works on mine every time.

Get it up to highway speed, cruise gently at light throttle so it gets into top gear and converter lockup. Then add just a bit of throttle to give it some load but not enough to cause downshift or unlocking of converter. If you have a misfiring coil, this will likely reveal it.

I second the ignition coil idea. You can really feel the stuttering when cruising with torque converter locked up

It occasionally flares on the 2-3 shift, and Reverse is getting weak, but she is still going. But I truly baby this trans, especially when towing.

I’ve been towing my 3,500 pound camper for 15 years with my 2006 V6 without the tow package. Just hit 165,000 miles still on original transmission

On Mine I only neeD to hold down RESET before turning on ignition. I use it sometimes when towing my camper so I can see a digital display of engine temperature, been doing it since 2006 because I already knew about it from the 2005 F450 we had at work back then does anyone know of a way to...

I recall that you chased a front end noise in the 2006 a while back

Universal joint in front driveshaft? Excessive play in front differential?

Are you sure it was actually slipping and not just reacting to the hill and downshifting or unlocking the torque converter that was causing the rpm to rise without an increase in vehicle speed?

Did they check the rear tone rings on each rear axle shaft? Look for cracks and irregular gaps between teeth

My 2006 V6 is still going strong on the original exhaust system. I owned it since new spending most of its time in north jersey salty winter roads, and at least 4 weeks per year 3 blocks from the beach. Barely any louder than when new, only a slight resonance around 55 mph in top gear with...

I switched to the 16 psi cap about 7 years ago with no issue, but now plastic upper tank is cracking. By the way, my other explorer is a 2020 with the turbo 2.3 liter, and it has a 21 psi cap!

I’ve had my original ford radiator replaced in 2007 with a ford radiator, and that one failed in 2009 right before it went out of warranty. That third ford radiator went 4 years before it began dripping a little, and I’ve been dealing with it all these years til it finally cracked the upper tank...

5 mm is very close, negligible difference. I agree no problem

A few guys are running 2nd generation rims on their 4th gens which stick out quite a bit more. keep in mind that the further you deviate from stock, the more stress you put on the wheel bearings, and ours aren’t known for their durability

Not saying there isn’t a problem, but there’s quite a few things that could keep it from turning off. 1) less than full engine temp as mentioned 2) wheels turned left or right 3) heavy electrical or climate control load 4) tow haul mode, and I think a few others 5) trailer connected or...

Second is 1st with OD engaged

My 2006 V6 has had a shift flare on 2-3 and a shudder between 3-4 under half throttle or more for OVER 5 years now. Just hit 163,000 miles on original trans

Remove the serpentine belt and then start the car on a cold day and see if noise goes away

I searched thru a few old posts on this topic and hoping someone has some additional information. 2006 4.0 liter V6 From what I understand, the EGR valve has a map sensor built into it, thus needing replacement as an assembly. I checked the electrical connection, and the wire insulation for...

Make certain you are not low on coolant, check plastic bottle AND radiator its self before doing anything else. If it was low and you still don’t get heat you may need too bleed the air out of the system

I wish, I had 2 replaced by the 36,000 mile mark
