    2007 Explorer Eddie Bauer Abnormal fuel consumption

    Abed, from what I understand you are mostly concerned with the dash readout telling you have a fuel consumption rate of 30+ L/100 km. However, this may not be your real fuel consumption, mine for example does not always give a good value. Have you tried measuring it the good old fashion way...

    2006 power seat issue - New member

    This is a recurrent problem with the fourth generation. Depending on how often you think you will need to lower/raise the 3rd row will dictate which way to go with the fix. I do not recommend to replace the motor with an OEM part, this design is faulty and it will break again. Personnaly I...

    2007 4.6L V8 Oil Temperature Sensor

    looking at the price difference multiplied by 8, I see why the previous owner put aftermarket coils vs Motorcraft

    2007 4.6L V8 Oil Temperature Sensor

    This is really informative... I've been looking up the Motorcraft coils, there seems to be more than one part number that fits?

    2007 4.6L V8 Oil Temperature Sensor

    This is great info! I bought the truck early this summer, and I know the coil packs are aftermarket (yellow and not Motorcraft). 1998Explorer gave me a pinpoint procedure to troubleshoot my fan issue, but if it fails, I'll certainly look into changing the coils back to Motorcraft. I'm also...

    Transmission problems commonality?

    The previous owner who sold me the truck, said "it's a good truck but needs constant attention", man was he right!

    Transmission problems commonality?

    info from Ford Explorer Problems, 2006 sticks out as a bad year for the 4th gen However to be fair, most of the transmission problems listed where concerning hard jolts which were mostly addressed by reprogramming of the PCM TCM. So a 2006 that tests good should be as reliable as a 2007. 2006...

    Pressurize cooling system

    Hi, I have the same loud engine fan roaring. The clutch seems to work fine (it slows down if I unplug it), the truck is not overheating either. Did you get to find the solution to your loud fan? Thanks

    Fan Clutch Noise then engine overheats - 4.6L V8

    I'll look this up, still seems pretty strange to me. this would mean you lose all the advantage of warning for a potential cooling problem. 07EddyB is also stating he saw his gauge rise over operating temp...

    Manual 3rd row seats?

    Oups, I put in the wrong thread. Here is the thread explaining the Skoffer and Ornery fix. I will try this as soon as I get a bit of spare time. I too like the things to work as they should, but as the electric 3rd row seat is a poor build, I will not spend 250$ + to get a part that can fail...

    Fan Clutch Noise then engine overheats - 4.6L V8

    Michael, where did you get this info? It seems odd to me as the gauge does show the actula transition from cold to operating temp (in the middle of the gauge) as the truck heats up. I find it very odd that the temp gauge would act any differently from operating temp upwards???

    Manual 3rd row seats?

    I looked at the thread, it's for replacing the seats. I thought of that and searched around, but they are hard to find (manual 3rd row seats from junkyard). So I was wondering if somebody had found a way to modify electric to manual?
