    Fuel Door Assembly Removal / Broken Spring

    FORD PART BB5Z-7827936-A FUEL POCKET HOUSING I figured it out after I got my replacement part for a great deal on Ebay! All I needed was a wide blade screwdriver to release the 4 locking tabs on the back of the housing. There is also a locking tab behind the sticker to remove the painted door...

    Fuel Door Assembly Removal / Broken Spring

    Thanks for the response SinXLT. I previously saw this video and I wish the Explorer assembly would come that easy. I will continue to try and remove it but hopefully I won't break it.

    Shake or shimmy in front end.

    Hello Tricia. Were you able to find a solution to this issue? I'm experiencing this same issue on my 2011 and it's starting to be very annoying.

    2014 explorer sport motor mount or wheel bearing?

    I'm experiencing sort of the same vibration on my 2011. It starts around 40mph and gets quicker as the speeds go up. I seemed to notice it after I had new tires installed. It happens while applying the gas pedal and not applying the pedal. No vibration in the steering wheel as well. It...

    Time for tires

    I made it to 70,000 on the Hankooks and switched to the Pirelli tire a few weeks ago. They handled way better in the rain the past couple of days. I'm happy so far with the performance of these tires.

    Best front brake/rotor combinations

    How did the Napa rotors and ceramic pads work out for you? I'm so done with the Motorcraft parts.

    Remote Start Facts (2011 - 2015 only)

    Thank you for the excellent info Jason! I'm pretty sure the battery might be the problem. It was very cold last Friday and I had to get a jump start after work. It's been starting with the key start ever since which is weird why the remote start will not work but I guess because it's a...

    Factory Battery Capacity

    Drove my 2011 Explorer at lunch time with no problem. I tried to remote start after work in 12 degree weather and the lights flashed but didn't start. Went out to start and nothing happened. Luckily there were coworkers still at the office and they had jumper cables. The myford touch didn't...

    Time for tires

    Peter, I like the Parada's tire rating except for the treadlife. Reviews are saying the mileage is like half of the Hankook's. I have 55,000 om my Hankook's but will need tires soon before the winter. What has been your treadlife results with the Parada's?

    Ford Remote Start Accessory

    I purchased the 5 button keyfobs. The dealer parts guy cut the keys for free. I programmed the keys and just had the Dealer enable the remote start feature. Cost me a 1/2 hr of labor. One question though...does the sequence always have to be 1 press of the lock button and then 2 presses of...
