Yeah ours has the 5.3, though I am hearing some reports that newer ones with new cyl deactivation system are having lifter and push rode failures, so who knows. I was very happy with the 3.5 TT in the Expedition, smooth power :)

Well we ended up trading the Ex(Needing more space for 3 growing kids, been a great family hauler for the last few years and left good vibes towards owning another Ford Product :) So what did we replace it with? 2021 GMC Yukon SLT 4X4. We looked at several Full-size SUVs, I really wanted the...

Should be plug n play provided the options match. :)

I honestly dont know, I just tightened them then gave them a half turn.

Mine does not and dont see why they would have one.

our 2wd with tow package has the duct.

Yes you are correct about the clips, underneath them, no corrosion/rust. Old pads moved freely, calipers moved freely. Again no real issues, just an oddity that they wear so frequently. So I am just thinking out loud as to why the frequent wear in comparison to other designs.

I just received my letter, I still say my fix was better than what they are proposing.

Well corrosion is not an issue in either of my cases, as we don't get snow or much rain for that matter. I reused my retaining clips as they were in perfect shape. Also my calipers moved freely.

OEM My buddy has and F150(3.7) and he changed out the plugs and coils and the truck just would not run good and just got worse. So finally asked what plugs he put in, he said whatever AutoZone gave him.....so we bought the Motorcraft plugs, changed them and the trucks runs perfectly :)

Welcome! As for the interior items, the steering wheel looks very worn and almost like the primary driver has a ring or something that is scratching/abrasive on that spot shown in the picture. The hard plastic looks equally scratched/worn. With every manufacture they have different...

I would say it is a total loss, the rear spare tire compartment, rear wheelhouse and the buckling of the upper quarter panel, those are all very difficult areas to fix correctly. Then there is all the additional items that need to be replaced, if they are saying $15000 just looking at it, I...

Yeah I am not very convinced the glue will work long term...

I got the notification in the mail the other day. However I have already fixed it myself, so I tossed the notice :)

I really like that!

So it just occurred to me, I had 2009 Dodge Journey, 2012 & 2016 Chrysler Town n Country and they all had excessive rear brake and now the 2017 Explorer. These vehicles have the same rear brake caliper design, with a mechanical parking brake integrated into the caliper. I am going to speciulate...

I just replaced my rear brakes at 34k miles, the passenger side had just a bit left, however, the diver side was down to the metal. We live in a very dry climate, so no rust issues and no dragging issues from what I can see. My wife does a lot in city driving, so I just attribute the were to...

Ok so that makes more sense, if you can look at the original seat and trace the wires, my guess would be the seat belt buckle receiver.

I am guessing a sensor of some sort. So mine had 4 wires, 2 for the charge canister and 2 for the buckle receiver. The non-inflatable seat had nothing, no sensor or wiring. So on the non-inflatable seatbelt seat, there is nut that is spot welded in place for the buckle receiver, so what we...

Feel free to message me if you have more questions and I can help :)

I did not have any issues with the airbag light. My guess is that your wiring for the non inflatable seatbelts is not a match for the inflatable seat belts. Did you change out the seat belt buckle receiver? As they are very different. If not, you will need to change that out and run the...

Yep, mine does the same thing. I was on a trip this past weekend and we did some walking and there was an Explorer that was parked idling and it was making the same noise, i am beginning to think that most of these Explorers do this.

Sounds like an expansion valve issue.

I can hear at the end of the video, mine does the same thing. I can tell you its from the transmission, as you can shift from Reverse to Drive and it changes. It will also change pitch with manually shifting up shifting. So I am convinced its the transmission. However, it has not gotten worse...

So I finally took the wheels off and looked at the rear pads and they are both equal in wear, about 40% left on the pads. The rotors have deep grooves and look like they have been on the car for 100k miles, hence the warpage. Going to run them a bit longer till I cant take the annoyance. The...
