    Fail-Safe Cooling (limp mode)

    2015 3.7 with 140k miles and 8,000 idle hours. I've had vehicle for 15k miles and it's been great. First time limp mode yesterday - cruising 35mph on flat with throttle barely cracked. Felt medium "jolt" through vehicle and wrench on dash. Gas pedal does nothing at that point. Almost felt like...

    changed rear wheel bearings. 134k miles. in last 3 weeks they got very loud. used MOOG. also did rear shocks with Monroe Magnum and ended up doing rear stabilizer end links as i broke one while doing the other work and they were far from fresh. so for the rear wheel bearings (and i assume same...

    4th to 5th gear slip / overrev

    hello all 2015 explorer 3.7 with 6 speed trans. had the ford power train module reprogramming a couple months back (a recall i think) and that seemed to really add smoothness when shifting to D or R from park - less slamming into gear at times - and also smoothed out a downshift into 2nd gear...

    idle air control - any known issues

    hello 2015 explorer 3.7 128k miles, have driven it for 4k miles engine idle seemed quite good - incredibly quiet actually hadn't run the A/C much, but noticed when switching it on at idle the engine speed would dip quite a bit. too much if you ask me. almost like halfway to stalling, then it...

    front wheel bearings @ 128k miles

    hi all, no way to know if wheel bearings have ever been changed, but the old gal has gotten much louder at low speed - straight or turning - in the last 2k miles. I've never changed wheel bearings, but they're making all the sounds that I've always been told are indicative of need for new. at...

    turn signal activation/deactivation

    hi all my main gripe about the vehicle (so much to love otherwise!) is the turn signal operation. it seems to stay on and not kick off around medium turns. the type of turns you'd think would kick it off. then i get to decide on reengaging the stalk in the same direction to turn it off or the...

    octane observations
