    Antenna Mount Hole

    Hello fellow Explorers. I believe I had a hollow aftermarket antenna break off in the socket. Can someone send me or post a picture of the socket on theirs? I am trying to compare. I cant see any threads and that's why I think I am looking at the inside of the antenna not the socket. No...

    2010 Explorer Front Bumper Rattling Loose at Fenders

    My 2010 Explorer has an odd issue with the front bumper. In the corners the bumper slides out of the grooves and falls down a bit. The entire bumper was replaced as a result along with all the mounting hardware. It happens more over time from vibration and happens quicker on bumpy roads. I...

    5R55S Servo Bore Fix Write Up

    I have seen grumblings about a preventative modification to fix the servo bore issue on these tranny’s. I can’t find a thread about it. Does someone know of one or willing to make one and get it stickeyed?

    2010 SOHC/ 5R55S Dark Fluid

    I took it in today to have the transfluid done and they came back and said it was dark and overfilled by 1 quart. The good news is there was zero solid debris in the fluid. It is driving good and shifts are firm but smooth. Occasionally 1st to 2nd is accented but nothing crazy and I have seen...

    Back Up Proximity Sensor Locations?

    I have a 2010 xlt with the back up alarm and I am trying to get a bump step for it. I have read that they can interfere or cause the system not to work when on the same plane. Any pointers?

    What Trans Is In a 2010 v6?

    Sorry for the simple question. Can’t find it anywhere. I’m hoping it’s the 5r55w not the s. It seems like the w is more reliable.

    Door Pressure Seals Loose

    Ive noticed all 4 doors on my 2010 have some big gaps inside the vehicle in the corners at the top of the b and c posts. The a posts are tight. The rear doors if you slide the seal tight in one corner the other gets a 3/4 inch gap. It seems like it’s too short. Is this normal? Link to the...

    How To Reset The Keyless Entry

    I cant figure out how to reset the keyless entry on my 2010. Any pointers? I purchaced the vehicle from CarMax and all I have is the original book. Nothing with it. I know my 97 has a master code from the dealership.

    Will Pulling The PCM Fuse Reset Check Engine Light?

    If it will work where is it at? I don't want to go over to autozone again and I don't want to disconnect the battery. Just having an O2 sensor circus. Most likely bad gas it seems. Running fine.

    Windshield Wiper nozzle on passenger side aimed up

    So, I've been trying to figure out how the cover comes off where the wiper shaft comes out so I can see why the wiper fluid nozzle is pointed up. Any pointers?

    Coolant Leak When Cold

    So the shop pressure tested the whole system and found the thermostat housing to be seepy even though its brand new (less than 2 years old). I found a connection with an obvious leak when the vehicle is cold and sitting. Its the top metal hose immediately below the radiator cap. Its behind the...

    Odd Noise

    http://vid796.photobucket.com/albums/yy243/PolarTorch/IMG_3492.mp4 Forgive the bad camera work but you can hear the 'wobble' if you turn the sound up. It only does it when the vehicle is in gear. In park the noise goes away 100%. What on earth is it? I would suspect its something that...

    Jolt at 80+ mph

    I have had a rear end moan for years now. At 80+ mph something causes the vehicle to rapidly decelerate at 80+ mph. It is accompanied by a good clunk. When I get off the highway and move from a stop all the power isn't getting to wheels, but after I complete the turn it 'clicks' back in and...

    Grinding or crunching or grinding sound immediately after startup

    The noise doesn't seem to be super temperature sensitive. It only happens immediately after cold cranking the engine and during the normal rpm spike to 1800. The belt looks fine and the tensioners have been checked and are super firm. any ideas? this sound is terrifying. It sounds like a heavy...

    Groan when turning the wheel left

    No popping but a grunt and vibration when turning left. At a stop it is the worst and gets better at higher speed. Nothing is rubbing. The lower ball joints are brand new.

    Coolant leak.

    i have a leak high up in my SOHC somewhere. I took it to the shop and they whipped a bunch of coolant out of the trough between the headers. They pressure tested it with no leaks and this was all the day after I had antifreeze pouring out the front tray under the radiator. The leak does seem to...

    The trim on the bottom edge of the door jam need to come up so I can run wire under the carpet. So how does one get the carpet up enough to run a little wire along the edge? If your wondering what I am doing this is the thread containing that information...

    Wiring Help

    I am running new wires from a subwoofer amp located on the back of the driver rear seat up to the front side of the console. I am putting a switch in and running it back to the sub box(near the amp). how does one do the snaking of the wiring under the carpet up through under the driver cup holder?

    Under steering wheel panel

    My 1997 has some wires dangling from under the panel below the steering wheel where the pop hood latch is. I was wondering where/ how to get it off. It is clearly seperate than the whole dash piece.

    Rear Door Power Locks

    1 door doesn't fire at all the other gets jammed. The one that doesn't fire at all used to jam like the other one. The child locks are off but the doors randomly act like they are on. I can get the door to open after pushing the pins up and down. Any ideas?

    Clunk DS/Rear End

    I have been experiencing a clunk either in or around my rear end when getting on/off the gas or going from reverse to drive or from park into gear. That being said I took it to my local transmission guy who has always done a good job and he said the rear end is wearing out? The reason I am...
