    New PCM forced idle

    Did you ever solve your issue with the forced idle? My 07 EB V8 is doing the exact same thing.

    V8 Intake Manifold Swap

    Did you ever resolve your misfire issue? I'm in the middle of doing the intake swap for the 08-10 onto a 2007EB and am in process of figuring out how to shorten the bolts. It seems the bolts need to be about 3/4 of inch shorter.

    2007 EB Pass Side Mirror replacement

    Thank you for the pics!! My problem is that one of the axis is no longer working, nor is the heating element (not that big a deal). These pics will definitely help. Thank you!

    Just replaced the Blend Door Actuator on my Gen IV

    Honestly if you are referring to the bolt that is highest up from floor pan, loosen the other two and rip that actuator out. There's numerous references in this thread that refer to that bolt being a **** to get to. That is how I replaced my passenger side actuator and have had no issues with...

    Slow coolant loss on V8

    I used regular hose clamps and have no issues after 12000 miles. So did you cut off heat to your rear HVAC, since you replaced the Y pipe with a slightly bent pipe?

    Slow coolant loss on V8

    Have you tried a pressure test while it was cold? My loss was pretty consistent before changing the y piece. [ QUOTE=naiku;3462127]Looks like I need to order one of the little Y pieces. I have been slowly leaking coolant and was having a hard time tracking it down, sometimes the coolant...

    Just replaced the Blend Door Actuator on my Gen IV

    Hello! Has anyone had to replace the rear blend door motors? Ive got an 07 Explorer and am only getting air to the floor. I cannot get air to the overhead vents. Any diagrams or tips would be great. All i've seen in write ups and youtube videos are for prior gen Explorers and Expeditions; i...

    It was the Y fitting for my truck

    Slow coolant loss on V8

    Nope, just crawled under just behind front passenger tire.

    Slow coolant loss on V8

    HA! The factory clamps were the main reason I even wanted to chime in and spaced it,sorry! Those were a PITA.... I honestly wanted to save the hoses since those are special order as well, so I used a dremel tool then pried them off with a screwdriver, mostly because at that time I entertained...

    Slow coolant loss on V8

    Good luck! Definitely not a quickie job; I actually couldn't find the "T" pipe locally and had to wait. I had tried to do the replacement "in place" and just couldn't get that done. Getting the hose to disconnect from the rear heater pipe from just behind the passenger tire was a chore for me...

    Slow coolant loss on V8

    Thanks! Thank you both for your responses. I am going to try to take care of this in the next few days. Trying to figure out if I need to drain the entire system since I only need to replace the "Y" fitting.

    Slow coolant loss on V8

    Thank you both for your reply.. I've been lucky as mine is tight and clean as can be. I only have that leak in the "y" coupling. One more question, do you really need to remove all those hoses to replace the coupler? And how did you break those factory clamps?

    Slow coolant loss on V8

    Hello, I'm probably going to have to tackle this repair myself this coming weekend; figures cold weather is coming and NOW I have to work on my cars.. I can see wetness around the Y fitting and will start there in replacing parts; you mentioned in your post about a transcooler; I was...

    4th Gen Explorer Off Road/Stream Crossings

    I appreciate your reply! Thank you, don't believe the crossings I'm coming across on Medano Pass will be that deep but will check out where the intake pull air from. I would assume going that deep would mean water would leak into the cab.

    4th Gen Explorer Off Road/Stream Crossings

    Hi All, Maybe I'm not searching correctly but I seem to be unable to find any posts regarding information regarding what's a safe water depth to traverse a stream or creek. I owned a 2001 EB V8 and went to almost 3/4 way up the tires but I didn't care about that truck.. my 07' EB V8 is in...

    Replacing Gen 2

    Marc6, thanks for your reply. I'm surprised with your comment regarding the Gen IV Explorers. From my research on this forum and a few other sources, it seemed that this was my best option over the entire line of Explorers, then maybe last couple of years of Gen 2.If anything I thought the gen...

    Replacing Gen 2

    All- Thanks for the insight.. first time I've come across discussion regarding the manifolds. Does it spring up that much? Is it an exhaust leak kind of thing to look for based on sound/smell? My '01 Expo was an AWD and had some slight issues with the center diff, just a little noisy when...

    Replacing Gen 2

    hello all, I'm sadly looking for another Expo after my '01 EB V8 was stolen this past summer. Going to skip right over gen 3 and have been looking around for 06 - 08 EB or Limited with the V8. Just wondering if there's any pointers you all have for me to look at while I go around checking...
