    Gear Shift Stuck in Park

    KatJack, Replacing these are pretty easy. Its just a matter of removing the center console which has been discussed and explained on this site pretty well. I have a new replacement solinoid I could sell to you for $25, just PM me. BN

    4th Gen Brake Interlock Solenoid

    So I traded in my 06 Explorer before I could install this. My Ex was periodically unable(willing) to shift out of park. So I ordered this part. It was about $40 plus shipping. I'll let one of you guys/girls have it for $10 plus shipping. Good Deal, brand new. PM me and I shoot you some pix of...

    It's Been Real, It's Been Fun, But I Gotta Roll

    I would not argue with you on that, however I think they turned the first part of the corner during the Diamler days. I know a lot of the Charger guts were actually Mercedes parts as well as the LX chasis design. I'll stay in touch here, I've got a 2 year membership. I learned alot about the...

    It's Been Real, It's Been Fun, But I Gotta Roll

    Sure. So it's a little bit apples to oranges as the EX had 96000 and the Durango has 12500 miles. To give a little perspective also, I owned a 2008 Dodge Charger. I feel this car was the first steps towards where Dodge was and where they are now. The interior of that was OK, but nothing too...

    It's Been Real, It's Been Fun, But I Gotta Roll

    We got a deep maroon Crew with most of the goodies. The only things this doesn't have that the Citadel does is adaptive cruise and ventilated seats, so I'm not too worried. The ride is unbelievable, the steering feels really nice, very tight. And the 5.7L Hemi is a beast. I REALLY missed that...

    It's Been Real, It's Been Fun, But I Gotta Roll

    I'm sorry to say folks that after owning the Explorer for a mere 5 months, I had to get rid of it. Traded it in for a 12,000 mile 2012 Dodge Durango. I couldn't deal with the issues one after another stacking up and never letting up. I spent $600 last month alone in repairs, and there was...

    Roof rack tie down knobs

    Go to a salvage yard!!! You'll no doubt find one there for a fraction of the cost of a new part.... I actually bought my two cross bars at one, got both for $30.

    who's dealing with the cold weather?

    I'm in Maryland and it has been cold as ever. And we got snow yesterday and some more tonight...Love it! The Exploder drove awesome!!! The AWD Charger I had was the best vehicle I had ever driven in the snow, but I do like the increased clearance. About that remote start.....I'm not expecting...

    valve stem tpms

    Yeah, they are aftermarket. Hey, quick question, what do you guys use at the dealership to train them? Is it that little FOB looking thing with one button?

    valve stem tpms

    I think there is a brand that does out TPMS-3 type, but be careful. It seems the greater mechanic community is a bit retarded when it comes to our trucks and TPMS. I just went through a large pain in the a$$ as noted in this write-up over on the stock side...

    Gear Shift Stuck in Park

    When I bought my 2006 EB V8 with 86,000 miles, after about a week or so, I realized the gear shifter could be moved whether the key was and turned or not. So I pulled it all apart and found that the previous owner had inserted a sheetmetal screw into the plastic componants to hold the little...

    TPMS Module

    That is wicked cool! I however actually like the TPMS feature, I want it to work. So I'm thinking I need to get the tires rotated soon. I'll have them pull them off the rims, mount the things, rebalance and remount. Maybe even an alignment for good measure. Thanks for that idea though!

    TPMS Module

    All right, I gotta vent....Is this system so far out in left field that no one knows about it except the dealer!!??!! So the shop that put the new tires on for the previous owner put valve stem TPMS sensors in that are not compatable with our TPMS-3 system. Told him that the something was...

    TPMS Module

    Awesome, thanks! I just ordered the little trainer thingy. I'll let you all know how it goes.

    TPMS Module

    Is it that little one button fob looking thing on Amazon? That works for our trucks? http://www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-TPMS19-Remote-Pressure-Sensor/dp/B001FKSNUI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356836579&sr=8-1&keywords=ford+tpms+reset+tool

    TPMS Module

    So ever since I got the Exploder, the TPMS Error dummy light comes on at every start, which of course is easily reset. The guy who sold it to me said that when he had bought new tires, the place that replaced them didn't program them (really?). So I was having a major job done (Xfer Case...

    Very Very Very Very Simple Question

    would anyone be welling to split a salvage vehicle with me?

    I can't go half, but will buy some parts off of you if you get it. You're taking some of the parts that I want, but I would like the following if the price is right: Grill Front License Plate Frame Lift Gate interior Trim (Big plastic piece) Front door panels (Driver and Passenger)...

    My new truck wish me luck.

    Awesome ride man! How many miles?? I agree with you on the wheels. You'll notice some more "Strange" design engineering choices Ford has made as you geet to know the truck. Still a great ride, just needs some TLC that it seems you are more than willing to give. Congrats on the new buy!

    Steering Wheel Cover

    Hey man: I just did this and did a write-up on it: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=375033&highlight=Steering+wheel+fail It looks great compared to the nasty peeling look which mine had too. I had to do it twice, but if you take my reccomendations, you'll get it the...
