    Strut issue

    It’s going back to the mechanic to replace it again. I’ll pass on the info everyone mentioned and see how it goes. If it happens again I’ll just buy a Ford one myself and do it. This is getting old real fast.

    Strut issue

    I’ll see what the mechanic says about it. I agree on the quality of parts. I do question wether though the orientation is right.

    Strut issue

    So it was replaced under a third party warranty who would only replace the one side. I am not sure of the brand.

    Strut issue

    Not the normal popping like a strut bearing but more like light vibration from the spring rubbing.

    Strut issue

    So I’ve been having issues with replacing the passenger strut. I had taken my 2015 Explorer in for some warranty work and one of the things replaced was the strut assembly. My mechanic had replaced this twice so far with the noise coming back shortly after installed. It sounds as if the spring...

    Sync upgrade and steering program

    Hey guys,I’m hoping somebody could answer this for me. My 2015 explorer needs a new rack and pinion and it apparently needs t programming. I swapped out the sync2 to a sync 3. Will this be a problem for my mechanic? Or do I need to put it back to stock? Thanks

    Type of coolant

    could somebody please clarify which type of coolant goes into a 2015 explorer 3.5 non eco boost motor. The manuals states fords special orange, which if that’s what I gotta buy then fine. But what I’m asking is what alternative coolant can I use. I’ve got dexcool and the guy at the local parts...

    Random chime

    A little update. My wife was driving home and when she hit a bump the chime would go off. I had her re shut all the doors and hatch and I think that fixed it. Still don’t know about the key episode though.

    Random chime

    I did not close the door because it caught my attention that something was different. Next time I’ll shut the door and see if it stops. She claims it made that same chime noise but I can’t confirm.

    Random chime

    ok so I’ve noticed a couple times getting out of my explorer the chime would stay on even though the key is out. I’ve had to reinsert the key and then it will stop. My wife told me today that she heard the chime go off while she was driving. I wasn’t in the car to experience what it was but she...

    SYNC 3 latest version

    Where did you get the 18093 from?

    SYNC 3 latest version

    I was able to get it to show finally. So basically you have to disable CarPlay and have Waze opened already. Plug in your phone and find connected apps. It will then find Waze! It’s basically mirroring your phone.

    SYNC 3 latest version

    I have the latest sync and Waze updates. It might just be the f150s at this point because that’s where I got the info from.

    SYNC 3 latest version

    Well I don’t have any experience to share because aparantly it’s only working for nav units. Mine is not but from what I’m reading is once you open. Waze the nav icon turns to Waze. This blows for us non nav guys.

    SYNC 3 latest version

    It looks like the iOS update for Waze is now working!

    Adding HD Radio

    I’m looking to add hd radio to my 2015 Explorer xlt that currently has nav and Sirius. I bought a used acm that has hd radio but I am hoping someone could guide me on how to go about using forscan to make the switch. From reading I believe I have to backup what I have before swapping and then...

    Adding HD Radio

    I believe as long as you get an acm that has hd then you can program with forscan. My only question is, will I still have Sirius option and does it mess with navigation? These two I already have and don’t want to lose!

    Adding HD Radio

    I’m looking to do the same. I currently have Sirius and navigation. Does adding he remove those ?

    Key fob replacement

    hello all! I’ve just bought a 2015 Explorer and unfortunately only came with one key. It’s the four button with remote start. I’m trying to figure out the best way of getting a spare. I’ve seen refurbished, new and aftermarkets out there but from what I’m reading I need two keys to program it...
