    Bluetooth module location and Sat radio issue.

    Before I get started, all radio components are stock. Does anyone know if the bluetooth module is inside the module of the satellite radio one? When I select the phone button on the radio I get a "No Phone" message on the display. I know that my phone is no longer paired with the radio...

    HVAC temperature control issue

    I will check that out as I noticed when I put it all back together it seems to cycle a bunch now and under light load the mode moves from vent to floor/defrost. Never done that before. Also if you don’t mind, what makes you think it’s a vacuum leak that would not allow the temp to not adjust...

    HVAC temperature control issue

    '08 xlt manual front w/rear hvac. Do not have the ability to adjust the temperature with the switch on the dash. Purchased new blend door actuator did not fix. Pulled stem from the old unit and can manually adjust the blend door via hand so know it isn't stuck. With either new or old unit...

    Strange "whale moaning" type noise from driver's rear area.

    Doesn't have the feel of a wheel bearing failing. In the past, when the vehicle I had did have one to fail, the rear would seem to have a swaying feeling. However, I will put it up on some stands and check it out to rule that out. If talking is the rear hvac on, I'm guessing sometimes it...

    Strange "whale moaning" type noise from driver's rear area.

    Searched but didn't find anything with results. So I randomly get what sound like just like Dory trying to speak whale. It comes from the driver's rear of the explorer. It's not a whine or grind or rubbing or anything mechanical. It sounds just like air being blown through a tube or horn...

    '08 4.6 - Cam phasers?

    Thanks everybody for the answers. They sound like the fun I'm having this weekend, pulling the left head off my wife's '15 Town & Country. It was diagnosed with a bad valve. $2,700 for a shop to do or $250 for a head rebuild plus parts if I did it.

    '08 4.6 - Cam phasers?

    Yesterday under very light load I picked up on a light audible noise of a tick, almost like a rod knock or piston slap on the older 5.4 at start up. Once home, opened the hood and noticed the engine had a slight shake like a misfire (never seen this prior) and I was able to reproduce the same...

    Hello from the NW Georgia area

    Figured I’d introduce myself. Just after Thanksgiving, I picked up an ‘08 XLT 4.6 4x4. Only 115,x.. miles and other than some clear coat issues, it’s in good condition overall. Has a set of the Rancho Quicklift and almost new BFG’s installed within last 10k miles. Prior owner was a young lady...

    Rubber strips on roof - Drip rails? what’s correct name?

    These are the ones in the channel that’s inset about 2” from the doors? Trying to figure out the correct Ford name as the ones on mine have cracked and need to be replaced along with some surface rust treatment.
