I'm not sure the color means alot. I think it changes color quickly. The v6 transmissions have no major issues, they aren't like the old 4r55 or 5r55. These 6 sp are co designed with Gm, who historically produces a superior transmission to yesteryears Ford transmissions.

I'd check your manual but I think 150k. The v6 transmission is durable but clunks. There is a tsb out about it, valve body I think.

Two replacments this year. Got almost 5 years out of a MC Max battery so I can't complain Ac delco died at 4 years, not terrible.

I have grease and some kind of fluid that was ready to drip on the rear front passenger control arm bushing as well. Noticed I had a drop this morning in the driveway..... It did eventually dry, but took all day. Definitely not water... looked under the car and it no other leaks, seeps or...

Fair question. I have found non Motorcraft in general, to be of poor quality. However, from what I have heard, Steeda is good. If you can afford it, keep it. I can afford Steeda, but would not put in to my 2011 base with 148k. It's a couple toes into the grave with that mileage and being a base.

Are the Ford ones flaps or injection molded? Personally the flaps are dated. Injection molded loom better in my opinion.

Nope. Just got mine Ac tested, right on the money where it should be.... its right where the refrigerant should be pressure and temp. My Sienna still has a better ac.

I had a 2000 taurus that became a buy back. Got a 2001 taurus that had the same issues (airbag). Ford finally got it fixed.... would never ever buy a buy back, been there done that

Replace the whole arm. New bushing included.

Run away. You don't want that.

If they aligned the front end, it sbould have been OK. Ball joints etc when bad do not allow alignment. Are you 100% sure front was done?

I try to get independent 3rd party to inspect. Some dealers are good, others not. People make mistakes at good dealers. Might want to take to 3rd party for advice.

I see. You can have almost instant failure with non Motorcraft struts and mounts. Maybe they won't. Search the internet. Try to find out, should have part number of any invoice etc if those are available. My mechanic said if you want to fix and sell, go cheap otherwise Motorcraft for Ford...

Alignment?

Are they Motorcraft? All new strut mounts?

Be aware when you buy shocks and struts. Ford has a lifetime warranty and covers labor for at least 2 years. Other brands are cheaper for a reason.....

Dye from the factory? That's reassuring....

My power seat (6 way, no memory) rear tilt isn't working. Move foward, back and front tilt goes up and down. Guessing its the switch as they have a reputation of failing. No video on the base 6 way to remove. IA auto has a 10 way video. tried to prry out the panel with a butter knife as pressing...

Bilsteins engineers will email you if you have a question.

Yes.

Bilstein or Motorcraft.

What brand are the new struts?

Plan to apply that as well. Thanks for the feedback.

To my knowledge, Klasse does not have a ceramic kit. However, Klasses is solid and have used for many years. Ceramic if prepped.right will last.

Did you grease them?

Tire out of balance?

Rare to have failure at such low mileage.

Email bilstein. An engineer responded via email with a recommendation upon receipt of original email.

Haven't heard of this failing in 5th gen explorer. Good excuse for steeda in rear.

Mine was sloppy after the recall, and the dealer only hand tightened the link. It was way out of alignment, and had that feeling of being on rails. Since my mechanic fixed, seems to be good.

If it sounds too good, it is.

Air pressure ?

Run away from this car. Don't buy someone else's problems.

Not economical to swap engine, its not plug and play for ecoboost.

Why? Explorers arent perfect, and is alot of work.

Mine felt loose. My mechanic discovered the rear recall work was hand tight. Hasn't snowed since. Might be some truth to it being in the rear.

What Peter said....

No link, but video on youtube for the weep hole.

5 speed in 10 and under had servo bore issue. Had 2 of them have the issue.These 6f50 while clunky are times are a solid transmission

Does the water pump make a noise when failing? Heard a bearing like noise upon startup this morning. Only made noise when in R or P. Noise went away after a couple minutes. Definitely was coming from passanger side front, where the WP is. Alternator is right there as well. Was a dreadful noise...
