    2013 Explorer Overheating

    so it was the water pump and while I know it could be worse I don't feel lucky. 2700 dollars later all they did was replace the water pump - yes they pulled the engine to do the job - yes they supposedly replaced a few gaskets and recharged the AC system (which you know 5 years later it might...

    2013 Explorer Overheating

    So of course I have terrible luck. Thrusday night wifey drives home - all appeared well, we've driven the explorer for nearly a week now with no cooling incidents. Even 120 mile round trip on the weekend all good. outside with kiddos - uhm there's a puddle under the car. oh...

    2013 Explorer Overheating

    So another update. This is a doozy. So tuesday after making more intown errands. Coolant at the end of the day stayed nearly even - accounting for pressurization. so let the car cool back down - or purposely vent the cap - coolant lever rises. Was nearly where it was when I started...

    Want to buy - 2016 Explorer RH working Tail Light assembly

    My RH tail light is out on my 2016 Explorer XLT. I'm hoping some people that traded to sport style tails have some wanting to get rid of. Anyway I'm interested in getting a working taillight assembly if possible. RH side. I think it's the same module from 2016-2019 but I need to do a...

    Fuel Injector issue - misfires -

    Yes - however my dealer that had one is stock near me - wanted 145 for it. TASCA parts and other online stores have it around 33-35 - and amazingly 2-6 days away from me. so in my hand for 1 injector the cost moves up to 50 dollars or more to get it next day. Rockauto - similar issue -...

    2013 Explorer Overheating

    as I stated in the post - checked the oil 3 times. Oil looks good - little burnt smell expected that - no volume changes and no smell changes. Not milky - not grey. Oil is good. Follow on from today. 2 other in town drivers. One to the wallmarx last night about 12 miles round drip...

    2013 Explorer Overheating

    So my 2016 started doing this today. Now I didn't witness it - wifey did. on the way to school, overheat warning came on - she says no CEL - but I scanned and there was a PCM code for coolant overtemp (not CHT, coolant over temp) I get the overflow tank was empty - now it was low a...

    Fuel Injector issue - misfires -

    Update. OK to to get to the injectors you do indeed have to take the upper manifold off. Minor issue really but still a good bit of unhooking. Part 2 - cylinder order is indeed. 4 5 6 on the front of the explorer with 1 2 3 on the back. cylinder numbers not fire order. You do not have...

    TPMS reset/relearn

    you don't have to buy a ford sensors for it to work first off. I mean warranty and whatever I understand not wanting to just buy one. However other sensors will work fine. Meanwhile I would get FORSCAN and some BT OBD module. I love the OBDlinkMX - I know it costs more than the amazon...

    Seat is cracking

    so cleaning the car yesterday and there is a crack in the seat of my 2016 Explorer. Between the 2 seams on the LH side of the Driver seat. I didn't take a picture. cracked from one side to the other clean though - I think it might have been there a short while. (month or 2) Car has 88K...

    ST SUV Experience Driving Program

    2020 0ff the lot

    shame it's grey. (sorry had to - when I get one it might be rental car white if the wifey picks) Glad to hear they sell well and my question since you came form a 15. Is the leg room better - my only real issue with our 2016 is the front legroom for someone 6'3 and girthy is snug on long...

    2020 Climate Control Question

    Again I was always under the impression that if you have the front set to say 72 - and the rear temp slider set to the - mark or centered - it maintains the rear temp near the commanded front temp. there is however no auto fan control - which I would prefer. Sort of hoped when I move up a...

    21" Pirelli Tires

    Yeah I know - I mean I like a quite tire too. I actually prefer my Michelin's Premiers over the Defender LTX's I got this last time. They were that touch quieter on the road. I expected that but after a few months I do sort of miss it. They aren't annoying loud like the Kumho's were. I...

    2020 reviews are starting to roll in

    remember that reviews also are biased towards marketing and market trends. Most SUV buyers - like my wife as an example - want a basic appliance car with all the gizmos and checks off the ME TOO box at the school/grocery/church/saloon parking lots. Looks are more important than anything of...

    21" Pirelli Tires

    I can't image they decided to put the pirelli noise suppression tires on. Might have but I hear they make a very dramatic difference. TO clear up something that might be lost in the conversation. With tires like alot of things you get 3 part tradeoffs. Ride softness, road noise, Grip, and...

    ST SUV Experience Driving Program

    It's a nice place - that area of UTAH that is. Would be interesting to add to a few days in that region maybe. But for all the hype I'm expecting at least a full day at that race track - otherwise I can do that near me at road atlanta. without some other driver.

    2020 Climate Control Question

    I find on our 2016 model I set the front - and then set the keep the back on one notch below the 0 on temp (center point) and fan on one notch above center point and it seems to stay about right. until winter when I have to move it again. I always assume the 0 point is to keep the back near...

    ST SUV Experience Driving Program

    might be worth someone reaching out to the EDGE forum and see the reactions and memories of EDGE ST owners that have already done it. Looks like maybe some taurus SHO owners might have done something similar too.

    2020 Eplorer ST and Platinum PHEV to US?

    It's been stated there will be a PHEV for the EU market and others at day one - when introduced there. There are other discussions that say this is a PHEV model for the police utility version for sale. Debatable on interceptor model but that could be interesting. And that around year 2 in...

    ST SUV Experience Driving Program

    I would love to talk to their tech team and see what repairs and MX they do to upkeep the vehicles. I bet they replace alot of brake pads on general principle. (every 3rd group, etc etc)

    Time for tires

    No they're not aftermarket. Still OEM, just an option. my 2016 is an XLT and it has the optional 255/50/20 wheel and tire. it's an OEM wheel. and OEM fitment. Optional sure - but still OEM.
