    AC Compressor is toast

    Opinions: is there any chance this is just an AC clutch problem?? Sure would be cheaper. But my luck couldn’t be that good. Right?

    AC Compressor is toast

    Hey guys... I started my X this morning and it quit right away. Tried a second time and it ran for 5 seconds and stalled again. Third try, I reved it up to 2000 RPMs and it ran ok for a little then the RPMs dropped 3-400 and I saw smoke coming out from the hood. I shut the engine off, opened the...

    Opinions/Thoughts on Upcoming Purchase 2010 Explorer V6

    I looked up Lisa’s EB 4wd Explorer on KBB with 62,000 miles and excellent condition, private party purchase price top range would be $13400. Remember she is near NYC. So IMHO, Lisa if you want it - go for it. I too paid top dollar for my low mileage (59k) 2010 Limited 2 years ago and I...

    Bad Bulb?

    What did it for me was the fact that there was nothing wrong with the bulbs. They worked ok - it was just the dash message. So I said “wonder what this will do” and it fixed it.

    Bad Bulb?

    Ok so this is my weird solution because it happened to me too. About 6 Times last year. Here is the fix: pull over, put car in park, shut engine off, turn on flashers for about 5 flashes, start Explorer up and it’s fixed for about a month. Finally it was fixed permanently. I’m not kidding. Not...

    2008 Ford Explorer XLT

    In your original post you said: I started it to back it up to get my other vehicle out of the garage, four days later it wouldn't start. I know this may sound simple on my part, but did you put it back in Park? Try moving the shifter back and forth and put it in park.

    Hey Tim. Don’t forget EBay. Search for 2007 Explorer Grill. Several choices - chrome and black. YouTube has instructional videos for installation. Good luck.

    Until you get it removed and replaced you can always use clear silicon to seal out the water.

    concerns

    Good luck on your search for a 4th generation Explorer! As a new owner of a 2010 with the 4.0L v6 it is interesting to me to read this thread about two 4.0L with 220,000 and 210,000 miles respectively. Nice!

    2010 V6 transmission re-program question

    It’s a V6 so it’s got to be a 5R55. Thanks for the info. With this car being 8 years old, I doubt Ford has kept up with new tranny software updates do you? Maybe I could call my local dealer but somehow I doubt it.

    2010 V6 transmission re-program question

    In a nutshell: am I doing any harm to my tranny by disconnecting the battery every 8 months or so to force the factory A/T program to be reset??? Back in 2016 I bought a 2010 Limited edition V6 with just 59,000 miles. It is a great vehicle. No real problems except for the 2-3 shift becoming...

    Shopping for a new (to me) 4th gen - need advice

    EB Limited also came with Power Adjustable pedals with memory option. A nice feature to have if any in your family are real short. The pedals come to the driver.

    2010 Ford Explorer XLT - Ignition Switch Fuse Continues to Blow

    Well, since you have no other replies I thought I'd add my 2cents. Try removing other fuses and try again. You mentioned the radio. Remove the radio fuse and try. Maybe borrow a battery from another car at the shop and try it in your explorer.

    Rear Curb Height?

    I just replaced the front struts with quick struts. The ride has improved. The height on all 4 corners is 20". The X looks so much better like that. Instead of the nose-down look it had. Can't wait to put some more miles on it to compare the ride. Literally just came back from the shop. 2010 v6 2wd.

    Hey DesertExplorer, how many miles are on your 2010 X ? If you already posted that, I missed it.

    Rear Curb Height?

    Hi, first response to a post for me. I have a 2010 X 4.0 2wd. Measurements are 19.25" in front and 20" in rear. The front shocks look to be Ford. The rear shocks are Monroe. Hope that helps.
