I have the part that 16PIU posted. I have the factory tow package. That is used to deflect air back to the PTU and yes there is a rectangle cut out on the bottom front passenger side of the lower bumper to allow air to get to that “deflector duct”. I am just trying to see if there is an...

I changed the ptu fluid cause the vehicle has almost 30k miles on it. I used and oil severe gear 75w-140 also. I also drained and refilled the transmission with Mercon LV. Im just wondering if I am supposed to have this skid plate/splash guard. I wonder if it negatively or positively...

Does the 2017 ford explorer sport 3.5L eco boost have a skid plate or splash guard under the front bottom of the engine/frame installed from the factory? I know they have a duct installed on the passenger side bottom of the engine to allow for air flow to the PTU but I’m talking about one that...

Thanks for the suggestion. I found a pic of the lower rear bumper on a sport. It is indeed painted gloss black to match the lower rear fascia. Now, does anyone know what the paint code for the gloss black is?

Would you be able to take a picture of it and post it on here? It would be wonderful if I didn't have to paint mine. I just can't verify in other pics i have seen, if the removable plastic cover is the same glossy black color that is on the surrounding plastics where the reflectors are just...

The rear hitch cover on my 2017 sport is missing. Since this is a sport model, is the plastic cover painted? I have been looking at pictures of explorer sports that have the cover installed but I can’t tell if it is painted by the picture. The part says paint to match and I have read that the...

I replaced the drier when I put the new condenser on. I pulled a vacuum on it for 30-45 mins and it has been holding vacuum, so no leaks. I don't know how much pag oil was lost. The Explorer was involved in a front collision and smashed up the radiator, condenser and oil cooler pretty bad...

I had to replace the condenser and drier on my 2017 explorer ecoboost 3.5L. How much pag oil should I put in when recharging the system? The sticker shows 7.3 total ounces for the system.

NVM, looks like I’m late to the show. Found info that orange is not made anymore. Yellow VC13G replaced the orange.

I am replacing the radiator in my 2017 Explorer 3.5L Ecoboost and I am having trouble finding the orange coolant for it. The manual says it needs the Motorcraft Orange VC3DILB but I am having a real hard time finding it. When I put my VIN number in on fordparts.com it comes up with the yellow...

Can the turbo be removed and then sent off to be rebuilt? I’m having no luck finding a OEM Ford one. Can’t really wait 6+ months for a OEM Ford turbo to arrive.

Well… OEM Ford turbocharger is on back order and appears it will be on back order for quite some time. I can’t seem to find a Mahle brand turbo. Not listed on Rock Auto either. Just Dorman, Rotomaster, Cardone, standard motor products, GPD and pure energy. I don’t really trust dorman…I...

Hello, I just purchased a 2017 explorer sport with the 3.5 eco boost. The front end was damaged when wrecked. Right now I have the radiator out as well as the whole front bumper, grills, and lights removed. I noticed oil around the front turbo and it leaking down off a bottom engine mount...

Started to get a long crank condition when trying to start my 2008 Explorer 4.0 SOHC. Was experiencing long cranks after the engine sat for a few hours or overnight. Now the extended crank is becoming more frequent. So far, no check engine lights and engine runs smooth after start up. Last...

I replaced both rear knuckles with Moog brand. Much quieter now. We will see how they hold up.

2008 explorer 4x4. Im pretty sure the rear wheel bearings need to be replaced. I’m getting a load growling sound at 40-50 mph. The front hubs/bearings have been replaced already. Passenger side with a OEM motorcraft brand and the driver with a timken brand. As far as the rears go, I will...

I had the wheels re balanced and they said that at least 2 of the tires were off. Seems better now after the re- balance.

It has about 102k on it. Both front hubs and bearings have been replaced. I used motorcraft brand on the passenger side and timken on the driver side. I have not touched the rear. Would the rears display any kind of noise or something I would notice to troubleshoot? I hear to replace the...

What is road force balanced? Does a shop like Firestone have the ability to do that, or would I have to take it to a special place? When I had new tires put on, I had the Ford dealer do it. Went from Goodyear Fortera to Yokohama Geolanders. The rims have the stick on weights on them right...

Update on this: One of the plugs for the front O2 sensors was not completely plugged all the way in. The vehicle had recently had the transmission replaced and looks like the shop forgot to make sure it was seated properly.

2008 Explorer 4x4. Was driving on the highway last night and noticed when I would go 70 MPH+ I would get a shake in the steering wheel and I could feel it a little in the floor. Can feel it a little at 60-65 but becomes a lot more noticeable at 70-85 MPH. Could notice it in the rear seats...

My wife was driving to work this morning and shortly after the engine warmed up the engine stated stalling, missing and did not want to stay running. It has no power and wants to die. I pulled the codes and wow it threw a bunch of codes: What do I need to start looking at?? Vacuum leak? O2...

Yeah, PM me the info about the shop in Mustang or if you know of or have dealt with any other trans shops in the Oklahoma City, Mustang or Yukon areas. I looked on the ford parts website, a reman 5R55S from Ford is around $2800.00. My explorer is 4x4 so I'm sure there is extra labor cost...

They said it only comes with a 1 year or I believe a 12,000 mile warranty. Then he said if something goes wrong after that they would pro rate it.... not sure how that would work. Where would I look for or pick up a remanufactured trans? Right now I have an appointment scheduled with the Ford...

I went by a local small non chain transmission shop. I showed the guy the codes and described the symptoms. He said they first check the servo and servo o-ring to see if that was boken/cracked or damaged. Then he mentioned the band and said if the band was broken then the transmission would...
