    Transmission Problem Shifting From First To Third

    Hey Guys Bought my 2010 Explorer XLT 4x4 V6 with 125,000 miles. Everything has worked flawlessly until yesterday when the wrench light came on. I had just got home from a three hour trip. When i went to run an errand I noticed the wrench light come on. The transmission shifts from first to...

    So I unhooked the battery for an hour or so and hooked it back up and the FOB works now.

    Remote Keyless Entry Problem

    Hey guys. My key fob quit working the other day. I put a new battery in it and it still doesn't work. I tested the new battery and its good. I searched around before I posted this but didn't find anything. Does anyone have a suggestion or answer to help fix my problem? Thanks, Mike

    Just thru a P0741 code

    It shifts fine but starts making noise after the wrench pops up. I unhooked the battery and it was off but came back on after about 5 miles. Transmission shop said the converter is going bad and it's going to need a rebuild.

    Just thru a P0741 code

    My 2006 V6 XLT with 309,000 miles just thru the P0741 code. The wrench popped up on my way home yesterday. I had the transmission rebuilt at 229,000 miles and its worked fine up until now. Anyone else experience this?

    High Mileage SOHC's Explorers

    Expect to get a ton of miles on the SOHC if you change oil and filter regularly. The only engine work I did was to replace the O-rings on the intake manifold when it started acting up when I started it.

    High Mileage SOHC's Explorers

    I sold my 97 SOHC at 423,000 miles. The guy I sold it to is still using it as his everyday ride. Rear main is leaking now. That's why I sold it.

    Fuel pump bad?

    Guys, i went to move my 97 the other day and it wouldn't start. The fuel system had no pressure in it so i started checking things. The relay clicks when you turn the key on. The 20amp fuse is good. So we pulled the tank and pulled the fuel pump out. We put power to it and the wires...

    High Mileage SOHC's Explorers

    I did. Had the trans rebuilt, replaced the tranfer case, replaced the rearend, fixed the A/C and replaced the intake gaskets. Engine has never been apart. I bought it with 104,000 miles. Right now the fuel pump quit when i parked it. Great vehicle. I bought an 06 to replace it.

    High mileage- how long will this generation go for?

    A/C is easy. Get a can of refridgerant that has the manifold included(auto zone or advance) and add a can. Then the following day, take it and have someone use a leak detector to see where the leak is. Then replace that part and get it charged. I used to think A/C was a big deal. Piece of cake.

    High mileage- how long will this generation go for?

    The way i look at it, a new car has a payment of 5 years. Any time i do a repair, its only a payment or two.

    High mileage- how long will this generation go for?

    Ornery, I know i'm driving the 97 on borrowed time but its going to the bitter end! It still runs great but you can really tell when there's a load in it. The a/c still works too. I replaced a couple parts in the system but the compressor is original. You can tell there is something amiss...

    High mileage- how long will this generation go for?

    Bryris I just bought the 2006 with 229,000 miles on it. As good a service as i got from the 97, it was worth the gamble. Most of my driving is highway, about 42-43,000 a year. I'm in sales. I also carry a AAA Premium card and i have used it! I have customers that flag me down to see if...

    High mileage- how long will this generation go for?

    I have a 97 with a SOHC V6. It appears to be the same long block as my 2006 that has 230,000 miles. I use Castrol GTX and change it every 5000 religiously. I use a FL-1A filter. I have 423,000 and i've never been inside the engine. Does not burn a quart of oil between changes.

    Abs, traction control, and wrench light on after new brakes

    Abs, traction control, and wrench light on after new brakes

    Okay. I had a guy come by and scan it. Showed a problem with the speed sensor in the right front hub. Pulled it off and got a replacement Timken from Autozone. Just got back from a test drive and everything appears to be in order. EASY job! Thanks to everyone who offered advice. I have...

    Abs, traction control, and wrench light on after new brakes

    I've bled the brakes repeatedly. I dropped it down on the ground. Will not go over 3-4mph and the front brakes apply themselves. No change when i turn the traction control off.

    Abs, traction control, and wrench light on after new brakes

    Bled the brakes again. Bled each wheel at least ten times. Never saw one air bubble. I have good pedal until i start it, at which point it goes to the floor.

    Abs, traction control, and wrench light on after new brakes

    I'm with you guys but the autozone is 15 miles away and i don't want to do any damage. Something else. When i push the brake pedal when its not running, i have good pedal. When i start it and push, it goes almost straight to the floor but then i can pump them up. I put a clear tube on...

    Abs, traction control, and wrench light on after new brakes

    I held the RSC button down for 5-10 seconds and it started blinking. The ABS light never went off. I will look further this evening. The battery is new.

    Abs, traction control, and wrench light on after new brakes

    Thanks. I will check that next. I turned the RSC off this morning but the brakes were still grabbing.
