Very long story short, it’s back in the shop, the bottom end is screwed. New engine coming. Unknown cause, possible oil starvation issue, they think something got clogged up. It’s bad enough to just replace and not bother spending the time to diagnose it.

So the shop told us it was a stretched timing chain. They did the repair and said it got 2 teeth off timing. However, it’s still stalling when idle or reversing. They did everything, timing chain and guides, solenoids, phasers, water pump etc. Everything. Any idea why it could still be...

I have a 2015 Ford Explorer /w the 3.5l Ti-VCT at 230,000KM that I bought used, so I am not sure what past work has been done on it apart from what I've done myself. It's currently stalling sometimes when it's warmed up, I'd had it stall out while slowing down and stall while sitting idle in...

I'm not sure; we bought it used. It went to a mechanic who did a full inspection and they said the transmission fluid was still good. So other than the word of the mechanic, it's unclear if its still good, or if its ever been done.

I have an issue that just popped up: under average acceleration (not WOT), the car doesn't want to shift from 3rd into 4th; the RPMS gets up to 5000+ before it finally does, feels pretty delayed. The rest of the shifting feels normal. The last work the car has had done on it was spark plugs...

Ah I see, thanks!

I just repaired this issue on the exact same year/trim, I replaced the passenger lift gate strut and the driver side actuator. Works like new again.

Direct from ford? I’ll see if I can find how to buy it. I completed the swap thanks to the diagrams you posted.

Awesome, thank you for this. I’ll be doing it this weekend. What are those diagrams from? A third party service manual? I’d love to buy whatever it is.

Thank you for the insight, I will proceed with removing the inner trim.

The rear, exterior button to open the power liftgate is broken, it appears I need part # BB5Z-7841018-AA I have searched for an hour with no results, does anyone know if this is a simple, pry it out with a trim tool and pop in the new one? Or do I need to remove the interior trim to replace...
