    Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement

    This thread really over-hypes how bad this job is. I had my oil pressure sender fail today on the way home and replaced it this evening after picking up a new one from the parts place. It took literally 20 minutes to replace the sender, I didn't remove anything other than the sender its self...

    Replacement Speaker

    PIU speakers are no different than the base model explorers. There are inexpensive adapters available that let you bolt any standard 6x9 into your doors. Pretty much any aftermarket speaker will be an improvement over the stock PIU stuff. IMO, it's not worth replacing the stock tweeters. You can...

    How to: PTU Oil Change (Tons of Pics) 2016 Explorer Sport

    Ahh, see... thats the beauty of using the syringe. After you force in a couple ounces, work the syringe a couple times to get all the fluid down the hose. That way when it burps, its just air coming back out. Refill your syringe and repeat the process. This one holds 2 oz, so i did 6 syringes...

    Emergency Braking - Tranny Downshifts?

    Yes! Thats part of the interceptors logic, i call it persuit mode. Youll also notice that when you accellerate hard, itll keep it in gear longer so the power is there when you get into it again.

    How to: PTU Oil Change (Tons of Pics) 2016 Explorer Sport

    I changed the PTU oil a couple weeks ago using this method, and i had a really hard time getting the new oil to flow in through the vent tube. Well, i had an idea i tried today when i changed it again. Go to your local farm supply store (TSC, Rurual King, whatever) and get a 60cc syringe with a...

    Enabling remote start, having trouble

    I recieved another IKT today and immediately ripped open the package and programmed it. It works perfectly, so i'm assuming the other one actually has a liftgate function instead of a remote start. Thanks for all the suggestions though, i really appreciate the help. Kikinz, i tried the "last...

    Enabling remote start, having trouble

    That is correct. I've tried it both ways, it doesn't seem to make any difference.

    Enabling remote start, having trouble

    Starting to wonder if the guts of this IKT are actually set up for a lift gate and not a remote start. I have a buddy with an edge with a lift gate, ill program it to that vehicle and see what it does. Kikinz, for your IPC settings, try 720-01-03 set to 90E8 00CB. That's what i used to get the...

    Enabling remote start, having trouble

    I did take a look through that thread, but dont specifically recall the part you mentioned. Ill definitely take another look though, thanks for the heads up. When it fails to start, i don't get a honk or flashing lights they just turn on, then turn back off after a short time. As far as an...

    Enabling remote start, having trouble

    Yes, i do. I have 2 fobs and one IKT, all 3 work to lock and unlock the doors. Im pretty sure it's getting the signal to start, but something else is stopping it It's one of the cheap $20 keys from ebay, could that be the issue? Didn't really want to spend $100 on an OEM IKT till i knew for...

    Enabling remote start, having trouble

    Yeah, the ecoboost seems to be pretty rare in the interceptor. I've probably only seen one for every 10 interceptors for sale Yes, i double checked the hood switch with a jumper. I aso used my DVOM to test the switch its self. Alarm works as intended, so i think i can rule out the hood switch...

    new guy!

    Hey y'all, thanks for having me. I've had a number of rangers over the years, bought a '97 explorer a year ago, and just bought a '14 interceptor a couple weeks ago. I've been around the ranger forums for 15 years, but finally decided to join here!

    Enabling remote start, having trouble

    Just got my 2014 PIU a couple weeks ago, and have been trying to make it a little more driver friendly. I've used Forscan to enable keyless entry. Installed the hood switch and enabled the perimeter alarm. All of that works fine. Used Forscan to enable to remote start and programmed my ITK. When...
