Hey all, I was thinking of trading in my Explorer. 2011 XLT and the last appraisal told me 11K at 94K miles. Is this a good deal? I’m trying to see if it’s worth trading in at that price point. I’m also worried about the future maintenance like PTU going bad again or water pump failure. If it...

I’m planning on changing the torque, strut, and engine mount but I’m wondering if it’s safe to just jack it up on the oil pan. Also, when I got the new motormount, it seems to have changed in appearance. My stock motormount has a giant nut at the top. Does anyone know the torque specs for the...

So when I cleaning my engine and blowing a bunch of stuff using an air compressor, I noticed a weird looking pouch and found this part, it was full of leaves but I have no idea where it came from or what it fell off of. Anyone have a clue? I tried googling AG13-5402206-AC but could not find...

Hello everyone, I managed to find two engine/transmission mounts for the 3.5L NA V6. but I don’t know id there is any more. Anyone have part numbers of any idea? Thanks! I found the ones below:

Just took my intake manifold off (it was actually not that bad) and managed to get to the spark plugs after 2 hours. Now for the part about the spark plugs. Does anyone know the torque spec? Thanks!!!

Hi everyone, I am at 84K miles now and I have a bunch of error codes: Here is a list of them: https://gist.github.com/jamesguan/9a3d8af23c7bd8ce6c8ce6a3551c4768 For those who don't have access to github: https://pastebin.com/raw/ijb1Y3S9 Below is a list of issues and I'm wondering if anyone...

I'm wondering what the oem brake pad material is that Ford uses. I heard that they use organic which does not have very good heat characteristics and that's why Ford is known for brake fade? I heard the police interceptor pads are semi-metallic, which is why they are noisy and provide much...

Just saw this video and I'm excited to see that it's coming!

I know it's a niche market but I would totally love to have a 400+ HP Explorer. http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2018-dodge-durango-srt-photos-and-info-news?src=ha_m&mag=cdb&dom=fb

For some odd reason, my key fob doesn't lock the car unless if I am 10 feet away. Before I could get it to lock or unlock 100 feet or more. I changed the battery and everything. This happened on my F150 as well and I never figured out why or how to fix it. Anyone had this issue before?

Hello, Just wondering if anyone mechanically inclined able to explain how I can replace the waterpump. Anyone with diagrams? I keep hearing you have to drop the engine to access it. I might have access to a lift so if I have to drop the tranny and engine, I wouldn't mind. I just need some...

As you may well know, the redesign is coming sometime in 2019 - 2020. I'm very excited for it. Mainly because it's moving to an updated platform (CD6) which will be capable of FWD, AWD, and RWD. Undoubtedly, this platform would be lighter as well. I just wanted to see what everyone's opinions...

I'm seeing some random lady all over the place. Someone better check the server, their login credentials, etc lol. I wouldn't want user information to be compromised.

Does anyone have their stock 3.5L N/A stock resonator after replacing their exhaust that they don't want or need anymore? I can't for the life of me find it for sale.

Looking for the Explorer Sport or Interceptor Utility grille with the upper and lower black trim pieces (the chrome on the regular Explorer). Your offer.

Then I saw this.... the sway bar link is completely off the strut. I need to commute so would it be bad if I kept driving on it until I got it fixed?

So my cat tore up my leather seats. Is there any way I could order the leather itself from Ford and swap out the old leather without having to replace the whole seat? Thanks!

I was on a weird on ramp in DC and right after the turn, people had stopped. I stopped, then I heard a boom in the back and the car moved like 2 feet. I've been hit 2 other times in the rear but none of them resulted in damage. A Honda Accord hit the back. Her car looked worse than mine...

http://fordauthority.com/2016/11/sources-say-ford-f-150-may-receive-a-new-4-8l-engine/ I'd say Ford could squeeze in the 4.8L just for us. :D I'd love to see one in the Explorer when I want power but not the turbochargers. I wonder why the drop in displacement though. Hopefully they put dual...

Hey all, I was just wondering if this looks like an oil leak? It's coming from where the axle meets the rear differential. The metal pinkish part with the blue circle was after I rubbed off some of the residue with my finger but I'm not sure if it's oil. Should I worry about it? Also, if so...

Hi all, I just got smaller tires for my Explorer (245/60 R18 to 245/55 R18). However, I just realized my speedometer would read inaccurately, saying I'm going faster than I actually am, and I'm assuming this would affect the mileage reading of the vehicle. Is there a calibration procedure...

Hi all, I need new tires and I was looking for recommendations. All the 18 inch tires seem to be at around 180 dollars plus per tire. However, I ran into a set of Ford Interceptor wheels rim and tire for 600 + 200 for shipping. Is it a good deal? The tread is about 70% left but it doesn't come...

I really hope one day, Ford will incorporate this in their designs. Seems like the way to go since Ford currently has to have 4 cams for a V6 engine with TiVCT, and 2 cams for an inline 4. This technology would eliminate those cams and would make an engine extremely light and efficient. Infinite...

Does anyone hear like a faint squeak noise like some metal rubbing together when they accelerate after coasting at highway speeds? I feel like the noise is coming from the fuel tank and I'm guessing it's the fuel pump starting up after fuel cut off at cruising. I don't know if the noise should...
