    Transmission Gasket Leaking

    That is looking up from the passenger side, the leak looks to be on that side. Is that where the connector housing is located? If so, how much of a fix is that? Edit: Think I know what connector housing you are talking about, going to go look at that real quick. Edit again: You win the prize...

    Transmission Gasket Leaking

    Does this look like it is just the gasket leaking on the transmission? noticed a puddle underneath the Explorer earlier, crawled underneath and it's nice red transmission fluid. I cannot see any fluid higher up, but it is odd that there is fluid on that piece beside the transmission pan (second...

    Fair price for 2008 V8 Limited

    Who knows, at this point I have had all manner of scams. So annoying and such a waste of time dealing with them. Agreed here, funnily enough the last vehicle I sold on CL I had zero scammers and it sold within days. Base spec Nissan Murano, was surprised how fast it sold. I forget what blue...

    Best 2006-2010 explorer configuration to buy for long term use

    That's not true, while the power fold rear seats do fail, it's more like around $200-$250 per side and a couple hours of time to fix it. Remove seat, remove old motor and replace with new, reinstall seat and done. I'd avoid the power running boards, or if you get one with them, be prepared to...

    Fair price for 2008 V8 Limited

    Well, here's to hoping you are right with tax return season on the horizon!! I have dropped the price to $7,300 and have had zero actual responses other than scammers..... decided to mess with one who sent me a copy of his driving license, then told me my price was reasonable when I said I...

    Fair price for 2008 V8 Limited

    While you make some good points, I don't know that a V6 XLT compares to a V8 Limited as they are complete opposite ends of the trim levels available for the 4th gen. No offense meant by that, just I don't think they really compare. I do realize a 2010 is 2 years newer than mine though...

    Fair price for 2008 V8 Limited

    Cool, so it sounds like while I'm closer to the top of the range, I'm not way outside. Mine is pretty much fully loaded and on great shape so will leave price where it is which had my built in negotiation room. Did you find one GodStang or still looking?

    Fair price for 2008 V8 Limited

    I have it listed at $8,000 OBO with 138k miles on it, in this area there are some cheaper and some more expensive, just not sure how things are nationally. There are so many newer generation Explorers here you'd think Ford are giving them away, funny really since if I remember correctly, this...

    Fair price for 2008 V8 Limited

    What are you guys seeing as pricing for a 2008 Limited in your areas? The time has come to sell ours, would like to keep it, but financially it doesn't make sense right now. I have had it listed on Craigslist, Cars.com for a couple weeks at what I believe is a fair price but have gotten...

    Stock Tweeters

    Easy placement is exactly why I went with that option, I think if it were my vehicle I would have looked at putting them either in the A-pillars or up on the dash in that sort of rectangle looking area that comes off the side vents. Will keep an eye on your thread, looking forward to what you...

    Stock Tweeters

    This look pretty good, the Focals came with a similar looking mount for the tweeters, but I had wanted them to fit flush with the panel. If they did not fit though, I likely would have almost the exact same set up that you do.

    Stock Tweeters

    Changed the links to the pictures embed a little better.... they do actually angle down ever so slightly, the pictures seem to exaggerate the effect somewhat though. They sound pretty good, as expected a huge improvement over stock, but also a noticeable improvement to the Kappas coax that were...

    Stock Tweeters

    Pics as requested... They look a little twisted in the pictures, but in person they are not. Unfortunately I messed up and the drivers is in a very slightly different position to the passenger, but I am not going for any prizes with this, just wanted something better for the wife.

    Will grab a couple pics tomorrow, my wife is at work and has it with her. Hope life is treating you well!

    Stock Tweeters

    Looks like none came with tweeters, pretty crazy considering that these are not really old vehicles. Anyway, for anyone looking I was able to install a set of focal tweeters in the sail panels. There's not much room, but just about enough to fit them. The difference in sound is great compared...

    Shifting issues - 2008 V8

    Torque is a great app, especially when you consider how much functionality it has.

    Stock Tweeters

    Did any trim Explorer of this generation come with stock tweeters? Looking to install some and hopeful that wiring may be tucked somewhere. Had a Murano previously and there was tweeter wire ticket up in the dash. Will make life easier if there is some in the Explorer. Thanks.

    Shifting issues - 2008 V8

    Happy to post the solution, another member posted a thread as well with the exact same issue and his being resolved with coil packs. Hopefully, it helps someone who may be experiencing the same problem in the future. I hate researching a problem, finding a thread and then there being no...

    Shifting issues - 2008 V8

    With how much they are worth, it's likely we would keep it. It's pretty much loaded (Limited) and like you said, the V8s are not so common anymore. Not to mention it's a nice vehicle that does many things well!

    Shifting issues - 2008 V8

    It not throwing a code was the strangest piece, especially when driving it in damp conditions where it was really prevalent. Can't believe it took me 3 months to get it sorted, especially with how easy of a fix it finally turned out to be. Now to decide whether to keep it or sell it (wife wants...

    Ford Flex shift knob install in Explorer

    I still, have not gotten around to installing mine. Reluctant to screw up the shifter in my (wife's) vehicle. Frustrated that I could not get it installed way back though, keep meaning to see if I can get a new shift mechanism from somewhere and then swap it over. But, just finding time is tough.

    Shifting issues - 2008 V8

    Thought I would bump this back with the solution, sure enough, it was the coils. Installed a set of MSD coils and the Explorer is running perfectly, feels like it picked up a little power as well, no doubt from the failing coils that were in there. Of the ones, I took out it looked like at some...

    Access to Tailgate Sheet Metal from Inside?

    Depending on where the dent is, you may not be able to get to it that easily. I put a dent in my wifes' tailgate in a very similar location. After pulling the plastic trim there are fairly large holes on either side, but the middle part is enclosed making it difficult to get behind. I need to...

    Transmission fluid

    Should be a quick enough swap, someone just posted a thread with almost the exact symptoms I have and that coils fixed it for them. While I am not against replacing all 8, I wish I knew if it was just one or two causing the problem (assuming it is coils) especially as they are not the cheapest...
