    Replacing tpms -which one to buy?

    We have a 2007 Eddie Bauer V6 explorer that is now giving the "Tire Sensor Fault" orange light on the dash. I gather one of the batteries of the tpms sensors in the wheels is going bad. We will be trading the vehicle in the first quarter of 2024 and want to spend as little as possible as the...

    Ok guys so I have a 2007 4.0 Explorer with 189k that over the past couple weeks has been a bit slow to start. Now when I say slow to start I’m only talking about like 2-3 seconds, but there is something noticeably different going on as it has always started right up as soon as I turn the key...

    Do I need to change differental fluid?

    Thank you, I did find it in a chart in the pdf manual linked. I must have passed over it when flipping through mine. Going to go ahead and change it this weekend. I also read about friction modifer additives. Do I need to add any of that or just the fluid. Thanks
