    jerking motion/ 2008 sport trac

    I'm having almost the same issue with my '08 eddie Bauer 4.6 with 72 thousand miles. I don't have a CEL coming up, or a code pending on my scanner. Looking around the forums the thing that shows up is a bad coil. the newer 4.6 engines have coil on plug design, no wires. Check yours with a scan...

    Anyone with warranty success over broken manifold studs/exhaust leak?

    The engine would have to come out to replace the head. I was told the head bolts are quite long. I hope this does the trick. I already Went out & bought a F 150 for a little more room when towing, so when this is fixed, it's going on the market!!

    Anyone with warranty success over broken manifold studs/exhaust leak?

    I just spent 1,800 dollars on both manifolds a month ago that are starting to leak again. Mechanic is being cool about it & wants to take another go with it. Last owner had them done & his mecanic botched the job up big time. He couldn't get a stud out on the right side, so he drilled another...

    Camping report -towing a 19ft Wolf Pup.

    2006 Towing Question

    Michael, my friend has the exact trailer you have & used to tow it with a Ford Windstar for years. I used to have a hybrid that I used to tow with a '04 with the 4.0. I too had added a 2" hitch. I didn't tow very far with it, but you could tell it was back there. Now I have a 24 foot trailer...

    Rhythmic noise coming from rear driver side

    check the controls when you get home. I've heard a bad blend door actuator, or heat control actuator can make noises when they go bad. move the heat control and change the other control from floor to ceiling. I'm sure someone who had the problem will chime in. I've been lucky so far except for...

    2010 Explorer Limited Head Unit and cameras Install

    I'm replacing a single CD unit without navigation, and using a universal swc adapter. that problem seems to be fixed. I have this pink wire that has tagged for parking brake lights. i think it has something to do with a disable feature to keep the dvd from playing while you're driving down the...

    2006 Explorer w/tow package electrical problem

    I would start at the connections under the car in the back. I'm sure the car has seen a lot of winter salt that plays havoc with the connectors. I would also look into getting a test plug to test the connector. You should be able to get them online, or a camper store. They make them for the four...

    Wanted Need to get a Explorer unstuck.

    Maybe the inertia switch might have tripped with the angle of the vehicle. That would shut the fuel pump off... Just a first guess. Good luck.

    My '07 Limited V8 'Garage Thread'

    When you did your custom exhaust, what did you use as far as the front pipe that connects to the flange. will a pipe from a 02-05 v8 work with the 06-10 v8? Mine is starting to get loud at the flange pipe & I'm looking into different options. Thanks.

    Water Leak from Under Drivers Seat Area

    Off the top of my head I'm thinking condensation from the exhaust. Are there any exhaust leaks between the flange & the muffler, or the muffler itself?

    Has anyone upgraded their non-tow package hitch?

    I had to go with the under hitch hitch on my old '04. it looked bad, but it was what I had to do to tow the camper. My '08 has the two inch where it belongs. had to lower the ball to get things level again
