EDIT: Having a 5th gen Ex rolling white letter BFGs...About 3 grand in repairs every year or more. And now the rest of the story... 15K miles later, I need new front axles and engine mounts and a RH rear upper strut bushing that is not available from Ford. I'll be going back to stock height...

Asked and answered. I must have been tired the other night (or just plain dumb). It's plugged. But just in case anyone else comes across this, or just for reference, here's a pic...

Atkdfe1-6_1 (1) by Akmechanic posted December 15, 2016 at 11:33 PM Hi Everyone, I'm in the process of overhauling this engine for an awesome BR2 project and ran into this doozey... Is this galley supposed to be plugged? The block was gone through by a local shop about 5 years ago (ya I'm slow)...

FINALLY!!!! Took 5 dang weeks to scour the country for the 4 wheels which were in 4 different locations and then get them shipped to AK. I have no idea why...but WORTH THE WAIT!! Did the Traxda leveling / 2" lift kit, Mayhem Patriot 17x8 wheels and 265/70 BFG AT T/A KO2. The front mudflaps...

Ordering my lift kit tonight!!! This was a great thread to read! So funny story...all I needed was new tires for my 2012 XLT. Not trying to get in a rubber-comparing argument about which is better (because I can't be swayed) but I strictly run BFG A/T T/A as aftermarket tires. Strictly...

Anyone have a source on the front wiper control arms? 30 bucks sounds about right but I'm coming up empty except for an obscure ebay post for only the RH one. (and of course rear ones from all over) Napa doesn't show a listing for fronts at all. Are the dealer ones only 30 bucks? Please...

Omg that pic is EPIC! Throw some Bushwacker flares on there and daaaaauuum!! Might have to start saving some dough for that mod...

The invoice says that the AC compressor was found to be siezed up. They replaced it and everything else in the AC system from what it looks like. But didn't list the belt on the invoice so I'm hoping they changed that too. Lol. We'll see if that was a cause or a result of something else...

Scouring my feeble memory, I recall that Lund used to make a rear spoiler for the BRII that had slots in it that took the higher pressure from above the vehicle and vented in down the rear window spoiling much of the low pressure present behind the vehicle. I have to admit, I was too poor to...

Hi all! Searched around and didn't see a thread on this sepfically so I'm thowing this out there. Lemme start by sayin my dealer is on the problem and has been helpful and responsive and (mostly) professional. (One service advisor told me I was "wasting my time bringing in an...

Wowsers!!! They're not 100 bucks each it turns out... The factory part number is DB5Z 7813208 and 209 with different letters after for the color and... They list at 240.25 EACH!!! Kevin will sadly not be attempting this at this price. At least not any time soon. The pigtails list at 38 ea. I...

Sorry guys. The uh crap hit the fan so to speak and I haven't gotten anywhere yet. However!!! Coincidently, my ex goes into the shop this morning finally (be been meaning to get it in for 6 months now...) and while I'm there, I'll talk to my parts dudes. Promise!! Stay tuned... -Kevin

Im gonna jump on this!! I'll order mine ASAP (Monday) and let ya'll know how it goes... -Kevin

There is a TSB out detailing the replacement of cooling hoses and coolant due to achemical reaction betwen them creating odors. Your dealer should know about it after a quick search but just in case: And see thread http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3018845 TSB 12-8-8...

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I've got one of these and get the smell only ocasionally, but in my rig, it does not register as CO and those little sensors are darn sensitive! I'd say the PPM is likely not at a toxic level based on that. That said, some may well be worse than others so one sampling point is not difinitive...

A GREAT day at work today!!! Used Major Tom to pull this bird outta the water! -Kevin

Hmmm...mine used to do that, but now it seems that it goes all the way on the first press of the button... Maybe I'm confused... I'll recheck. Could it be automatic based on the speed of the vehicle?? Cuz that would be way cool! Lol. -Kevin

I got the "Alaska Windshield Mod" installed within 2 weeks of driving my Ex off the lot. The installation was a snap. It involves simply driving in Fairbanks until the rocks they put out for traction on the roads dempolishes your new baby. Why they don't use a salt/sand combination up...

So far, just my Jet ski. The mileage drops a little but it's better than my 02 Ranger with the 4.0.

Hi everyone! Long time, no post. Lol. Alaska's summers are short enough that I don't get alot of time in front of the ol 'puter. The smells maybe annoying and trigger a reaction to sensitive folks, but I'm sure that the PPM of anything toxic is way low. My Ex is doing it and I don't find...

Klaus, your english is very good. Thanks for sharing your experience. Is there anyway you could get the TSB number from your mechanic? I am having this same issue in the US and I can not find the TSB. Thanks. -Kevin.

I was thinking that meant the reaward output of the transaxle thingy. Lol. But I have virtually no experience with front or AWD. Only old-school tranfer cases, like the good Lord intended. Lol.
