got 195,000 miles on my 2010 4.6, and it's been burning oil. just curious if anyone else with a high-mileage 4.6 have the same issue?

So now that our '06-'10 Explorers are getting up there in age and mileage (I know mine is, 167,000) you might have to replace your heater core. I started hearing the engine fan roaring on the highway, I figured cause it was hot weather. Then I check the coolant and it's low. Fill it and go a...

I just changed the oil on both axles and transfer case on my 2010 with a 4.6 and just thought I'd post this, maybe it will help someone else out. It was easy! Rear axle had both a fill and drain plug, I crawled underneath and was able to get to both with a 3/8 ratchet. Drained oil and pumped in...

Hi all, I just replaced both front wheel bearings on my 2010 EB 4.6 and now have the "Service RSC", traction control, and ABS lights on the dash. I know it has to be related to the bearings since the ABS sensor is in there, but I'm at a loss as to what to look at. Anyone run into this? Thanks!

I have 130,000 on it. The engine was making that rattle noise on start-up (not the broken exhaust manifold stud noise, I'm working on that next), so I replaced the tensioners with Sealed Power units and the noise went away. I started it today after being away for vacation for a week and the...

Hi all, could use some help. My 2010 EB with a 4.6 and 110,000 miles has been pinging under full throttle for awhile now. The car is 100% stock, so I'm at a loss. I just replaced the air filter and spark plugs, the plugs are gapped to factory spec. I was thinking maybe a knock sensor but...

I pulled my dashboard to replace a light in the instrument cluster. One of the covers has this vent, with a tube and wiring connector on the inside. I can't find anything on this, anyone know what this could be? Thanks

My 2010 EB with the 4.6 is at around 110,000 miles so I figure it's time for plugs. I've been poking around on the forums and it looks like it's a good idea to replace the coils as well, so I went to rockauto and saw that Motorcraft coils were $49 each! So I googled the MSD coil packs and I saw...

I moved recently, and I now have to cross over a 3-lane highway to make it home. I usually have to punch the throttle whenever there is a gap to make it through. I've noticed the Explorer "spools up" when flooring it from a stop, and it's very annoying. Turn off traction control, no help. I try...

I was looking for 20" OEM wheels for my 2008 4x4. I see that Ford only offered the 20" option for the AWD models. So, does anyone have any idea why that was? I was hoping that it wouldn't cause any issue with the 4x4 drivetrain. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking for a full set of the 20" OEM wheels that came on the Limited and Sport Trac Andrenalin models, along with tires. I don't too much if they're pitted, I have a polisher so I could probably take care of it. I live in NJ. Thanks

I'm in northwest NJ, it's cold here but I know nowhere near what the mid-west is getting. It was 20 degrees yesterday and 12 degrees today. Both days, I started the Explorer and heard a whistling sound from the engine, and also a ticking noise. I had the whistling noise on my '08 4.6, and...

I know this is trivial, but what the hell, somebody might like it. You know how you have to hit the unlock button on the remote twice to unlock all the doors? If you hold both the lock and unlock buttons at the same time for 4 seconds, the lights will flash and two-step will be disabled. Then...

Got rear-ended on Friday, which pushed me into another car. I didn't think the damage was too bad, but my insurance co. called me today...said the car is a total loss :( Over $18,000 in damage, I couldn't believe it! Not sure what to do next

I bought an OEM nav unit to replaced the stock radio on my '08 EB. I noticed that the bass is much lower with the nav unit. After poking around, I saw that if the nav unit (or audiophile, I guess) is programmed for a factory sub, which mine is, then there is an internal cross-over activated...

Ok, in my other thread I'm looking to hook up an amp to the factory radio. But I see a couple of deals on ebay for a nav unit, and I'm wondering if it'll work. I already have Sync in my car, so I'm hoping I wouldn't need much. My question is, which nav unit would I need? The ones I see on...

I guess I'm looking to do the reverse, it looks like a common question on here is how to hook up the factory amp to an aftermarket radio. I'm actually looking to hook up a kenwood amp to the factory radio, does anyone know if this is possible? It's for a 10-inch sub I'm trying to run. The...

We just got hit with a huge storm here in NJ, and I noticed that when I cleared the snow off my car, there was actually water condensation on the inside of the windshield. I also cleaned off the top of the car as well except for a few pieces, and when I was driving to work this morning, one...

I've only had my Explorer for about a month now, and I've noticed something strange. I usually drive with the button pressed to blow through the dash vents and floor at the same time. But sometimes while driving, the air will suddenly switch to the defroster vents at the top of the dash, without...

I just bought a 2008 Explorer and noticed that the drivers side armrest was very squeaky, when opening and closing the door and also over bumps. So I pulled the door panel off and slapped some thick grease on the metal brackets which slide into the door itself and was causing the squeaking...

Ok, my '99 has been very reliable in the two years I've earned it, no real problems. a few days ago, I had to run out for something, and everything was fine. I then stopped off at another place, and when I got back in and tried to start it, I got nothing. No starter click, no interior light...

Has anyone ever replaced them? I have a '99 XLT 4-door and I'm trying to replace them. I bought dorman cables from rockauto, part # C66003 and C66004. It looks like the cable for the right side is too short. Not the outer cable length, but the inner cable. The inner cable isn't long enough to...

Hello all, I'm looking for some new tires for my '99 xlt 4x4, and I would prefer some tires that are quiet on the road. I'm not really concerned with off-roading. Any ideas? I did a search but couldn't find anything. thanks

A little background: I bought a '99 XLT 4.0 4wd as a second vehicle from my boss, he crashed it about a year ago and blew the airbags. The cosmetic damage is actually pretty minor. So, he patched up the interior and drove it for a few months, then bought a new car and let the explorer sit...

The starter died on my '92, so I bought a cheapie replacement and that died within a month, too. So I figured I would get a brand-new one from fordpartsnetwork.com. Turns out, that one is remanufactured too! I figured for $200 it has to be new! Is this normal?
