Many of these type setups in Iceland for the tour guides. Here’s an Expedition:

Nice setup to access the glacier near Vik

I put Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 235/50R18 tires on mine, same tire that Ford put on our 2016 Mustang. Lowered a bit, smoother/quieter ride, and better handing.

I replaced the starter also on my 2007 V8, very tough job with difficult access to all starter bolts. Check 2007 Sport Trac 4.6 V8 Starter Replacement I did not remove anything else on the engine. Good luck!

I was able to complete repair of the raise/lower actuator mechanisms using parts from Two Men One Garage. The rear raise/lower actuator had a broken gear: Both front and rear actuators received new steel gears from the above source: All working well now, see I posted a separate thread on...

Here's how to fix both power and manual lumbar supports in these vehicles. Access to repair these is quite difficult, includes removal of the seat and seat back upholstery. Power Driver Side This is a Schukra 2016801 actuator: Very common for these to have broken planetary gears like this...

Played around a bit to come up with a way to repair the lumbar and rear raise/lower actions on the replacement junkyard seat. The seat bottom/back can be removed from the adjuster base with four 15 mm nuts and a few connectors: I was able to find and order an NOS lumbar support...

Had a chance to strip down the junkyard seat, clean it up, and reinstall with my upholstery. Testing showed the seat rear raise/lower mechanism was not working. Motor hums but no movement. doesn't look like there is a way to replace any components in the seat assembly, many large pivot pins...

I pulled this beauty out of a local wreck for $60. I'll strip it down and clean it up, plan to use my cushions and seat covers with this new frame. Vehicle was side-swiped on the driver side, no air bags deployed on this wreck.

I recently discovered my 10-way power drivers seat no longer goes backward. Seems like the tracks are "offset", you can feel it twist and bind as it tries to move back and then stops. If I loosen the 4 mounting bolts, it goes back as normal. Vehicle has over 255,000 miles, maybe worn out seat...

It's easy to remove the chrome strip on the front edge of the hood. Paint it black or body color as I did with my aftermarket grill

Northern Indiana, @dvdswan

Runs and drives perfect!

I was able to apply Woolwax to our new Explorer before we see any salt on our Indiana roads. All fender liners removed to get into the inner cavities. I found the long tube with the single center outlet was the best way to apply it. Here's the kit I used, took about 1.5 quarts total...

Found this over the weekend after removing the front fender liners to apply Woolwax rust prevention. The entire upper strut mount is a composite that appears to be mechanically fastened to the steel frame. There is a steel arch the goes around the top of the wheel. Found this picture on an...

Thanks! Likely, but not as much as the faded and crazed ones did.

Installed these to replace a 4 year old aftermarket set that started to yellow and craze. Before installing, I upgraded the finish with 4 coats of UV stabilizing acrylic to extend longevity.

I described replacement of the lower steering shaft ~ 1.5 years ago in this thread: Steering Shaft Recently discovered this new steering shaft (Dorman 425-384) has a ruptured boot, with no evidence of it rubbing on anything: Instead of replacing the entire shaft, one can fit this generic...

Got it, thanks Bazz! I had to search a bit to learn more about these fittings work, check This pic from the video shows the internal O-ring seal and snap ring that holds the nut in place. Rock Auto part you referenced, Motorcraft PSH373 Logical that Ford installs the nut on the pump and...

I only assembled the HP line nut finger tight before mouting the pump on the engine. Final tightening of the nut on the vehicle insures correct stress free alignment of the line on the pump as determined by the bracket holding the line a foot or so away from the pump. Can you define further...

This setup with wobble socket extensions and an 18mm flare crowfoot is the only way I found to adequately tighten the HP line nut to the pump discharge, with oil filter removed. Even with the reservoir and oil filter out of the way, there is no room to rotate a flare wrench, even a short one...

Installed the pump and found it leaked at the HP line flare nut going into the pump. When I installed the seal that came with the pump on this flare nut, it looked too big. After some digging, discovered correct seal is smaller than what came with the pump. Ford has made these in several...

New pump from Autozone received, looks nice. Box label indicates product of Mexico. Ford dealer I checked with showed no nearby availability in their system. Roll pins that came with this pump were too short (bottom of picture), bracket installed with correct pins taken from old...

Yes, there was no indication of HP line leak, since there is no fluid on the line or fitting. It would have leaked when installed and pressurized on first run. There was a uniform coating of fluid on the inside surfaces of the pulley. Pumps I purchased came with the pulley installed.

Thanks fellas, looks like this part only fits 2006-2010 Explorers with 4.6 V8's. The one I got from Amazon had a 1 year warranty, so no recourse on a replacement expcept to buy a new one. After looking at several options, going with this part from Autozone...

I replaced the entire power steering system with new rack/hoses/reservoir/fluid in my 2007 4.6 V8 last spring. See Power Steering System Replacement 2007 V8 Just discovered the Cardone 20-329P1 pump I installed is leaking at the shaft seal, even when not running. Any tips on replacing this...

The one I removed from my son's 2022 XLT (bottom) had a washer nozzle at the camera and hose with a connector at the end. Check also first picture in this thread My 2023 XLT (top) did not have a washer nozzle at the camera or hose in the liftgate for a connection. Note also wiring color...

Thanks! The LFP is attached to the liftgate sheet metal with 6 10mm plastic screws from the bottom and 5 blue plastic snap pins at the top, shown in the first picture of this thread. First you have to remove the inner panels from the liftgate, snapped in with the orange and white pins shown...

Clean and sand the bezel with 240 grit wet or dry, wire brush any areas as needed to scratch them up for good paint adhesion. I used a self-etching primer, PPG Omni Plus MBP (Ford UM Agate Black) in a Preval sprayer, and SEM 40903 clear. This will get polished to a high gloss after...

Here's how I changed the chromed bezel over the license plate to body color on an XLT. Once this assembly has been removed from the vehicle, the chromed bezel can be separated from the body and refinished. Back side of assembly looks like this, a series of snap legs molded in the chromed bezel...

Happy to report that I have this airbag fault fixed and wanted to share what it took to resolve. I visited our local Ford dealer, they were most helpful. With their scanner, it found B2293-21: Air Bag Circuit Open – Loop No. 2, Front Driver Side. This great video shows the level of detail...

I obtained an adapter and FORscan to troubleshoot an airbag light on my 2007 Explorer Sport Trac. It shows B2293-E0 error, but no further infomation on what specific item is causing the fault. I then had Forscan log resistance values of devices in the air bag system and it showed this: From...

For the 2WD, you can replace the carrier bearing. See my posts on this thread: Drive shaft Center Bearing ~ 20,000 miles later, still works perfect.

The B-pillar on both sides of our truck was starting to look pretty bad, so I wrapped them in matte black vinyl. Looks much nicer, this is an easy upgrade. I also used 3M Primer 94 on the edges to ensure good adhesion.
