Pretty sure it cracked on the go around.

Well at 100,000 miles and 5 years my extended warranty expired. At 105,000 got an coolant hot warning. The radiator shutter failed. Replaced that and a week later engine ran hot again and lost the coolant in reservoir. Cracked head. It was going to take 3 weeks to get a rebuilt head. Ended up...

And they want $15+ to work those jobs and give that level of service.

I’m with Peter. I have 18s on my 16 and if I buy a 21 I’ll try to have 18s on it too.

I’m with Peter!

I use Amsoil signature with a Napa Platinum filter. Run 10,000 miles. I have 79,000 miles and have a Blackstone oil test every other. All my numbers are excellent and the TBN is always above 3 showing the additives are still strong.

I have used Amsoil signature 5/30 since mine had 5000 miles. Now have 79000. Change between 7-9k and use amsoil filter.

16 XLT 2.3 Ecoboost, 67,000 miles no ill Effects from carbon build up.

Hello and Happy New Year! Does anyone have any experience installing an oil catch can on the 2.3 ecoboost? Any recommendations on brand? Thanks.

Do all explorers have a PTU or just the all wheel drive models? What is the oil change interval? Thanks

Hey guys will you have a PTU if you have front wheel drive only with the 2.3?

16 XLT Ecoboost, 50000

I didn’t pay anything when my lights failed under warranty. But if you buy the extended warranty from the guy in Tenn, it’s Ford premium warranty, it does not include the light package as standard. That’s what I paid extra for. The dealer fixed them no charge of course!

Had this issue the first week I owned my explorer. Part was over 600 bucks but was warranty. I added the lights option when I bout my extended warranty just for that since the high dollar lights aren’t part of that package. Think it was an extra 50$.

No actually I’m asking if anyone is having issues and what they do to prevent build up. The ford guy that made several videos that have been on this site recommended using synthetics and top tier fuel. That’s where that comes from. Just trying to see if anyone has enough miles on the 2.3 to see...

I have been a big fan of Amsoil since the 80’s. I use Signature 5/30 and send samples to Blackstone. I’ve been changing my oil at about 8000 miles and the TBN levels show I could easily go 10,000 but with this engine I’m happy at 8,000. Have run Amsoil a lot longer in other vehicle with no...

Hello all.Just turned 50,000 miles on my 16 ecoboost with no apparent problems with carbon build up. Wondering if anyone out there with more mileage has had any problems or if not what your current odometer reading is. Have used synthetic oil and top tier fuel as recommended by the Ford guy...

So it’s now almost 2019, anything new on a cleaning service or self help method yet?

Hello all. Called the local Ford house to buy a new A9 sad card for my nav and they told me all they had was then A8 and didn’t know when they would get the new ones! I have seen the A9 on Amazon but hey description does not include it being good for anything past 2015. Will it work? Anyone else...

2016 XLT 2.3 ecoboost, 41000.

Does anyone have any info/experience with carbon build up? Anyone know what if anything ford has changed in the new gen engines to elimate the problem? I have seen threads on this but not since the 2.0 went away, just curious 40000 miles on my 16,no problems so far!

Well ya....not everyone drive 20000 a year like me!

22000 miles. Isn’t it under warranty?

I like my seats but the 3 gets too warm for me. 1 works really well.

Just had mine done as well as the seat bolt recall. No problems with either. Haven't had any issues with exhaust but if I thought there was I'd get a portable monitor just to make sure.

Do most shops have the FORScan or just the dealers?

So I replaced my battery today and if I understand I don't need to do anything but disconnect the battery for two hours to reset the system? Thanks.

Just bought mine from Joel. Great price and what a wonderful person to work with. Now if the dealers will service it the way Joel sells it it will be great. Merry Christmas to all!

Just checked my 2016 XLT, 34000 miles and they're fine.

Yes sir! Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Hey Peter what will the update do for me. My 16 hasn't had anything done and I don't know of any problems. Thanks

How do we update? Does it require a trip to the dealer? Thanks

has anyone purchased a replacement key fob without having to buy it from the dealer? Any issues, good or bad? Thanks

Had mine replaced the first week. Dealer said it would have been $700 us

Had my explorer one week and went through the same thing with left rear tail light assembly. They replaced it under warranty of course. Made sure my ESP has light option. Tail light assy was over 700$

Thanks Peter! Talked with Joel and looks like a grand savings over my dealer and 400 less than USAA. Making it happen Monday! guess you've done business with him. Does he have ant wiggle room? It is a ton better than my dealer can do!

Thanks Peter!

im sure this has been discussed so forgive! Does anyone have a company they are happy with that will match the Ford Premium plan? I have 24,000 miles and they want 2300$. Would like some other options. Thanks.
