    PIU - which coolant to use?

    Hi, Really quick question. Does the PIU really need *only* the orange Motorcraft coolant or will in reality any coolant do? It's 2014 and has a little over 142k miles on it. Thanks!

    TPMS module location and the difficulty level of replacing it

    Thank you, Peter. Unfortunately that thread wasn't too helpful as the link to the tutorial and all other links there aren't working. If the module is behind the radio console in the middle, then I need a bit more specific instructions on how to locate it there and what it looks like. I recently...

    TPMS module location and the difficulty level of replacing it

    Howdy, I've had constant issues with the "Tire pressure sensor fault." And it's not constantly on, it just comes on once in a while and then stays on for a while. Sometimes the while lasts for days, sometimes for hours. But it always comes back. Today I had the sensors tested (while the fault...

    It has the standard radio, no sync. Manual AC.

    Adding an Apple CarPlay radio

    How much was that altogether? I've seen this kit online, it wasn't cheap. Plus the radio itself. Also, what type of radio do you have there and how well does it fit?

    Adding an Apple CarPlay radio

    That's interesting, but what I don't understand is how you get the sound from the Android tablet into the car speakers.

    Adding an Apple CarPlay radio

    Howdy, I've been thinking about adding an Apple CarPlay radio to my 2014 PIU. However, the only options I see available are insanely expensive replacement kits that turn the entire console into a huge screen. Has anyone encountered a way to do it in some other way? Like taking out the upper...

    A thread of the alternator belt came off

    A little over 117k. And I would assume so.

    A thread of the alternator belt came off

    Made it home. At first, the loose thread kept on coming loose from the rest of the belt and I cut it off twice, then it stopped; maybe the entire round of it came off finally. The rest of the belt successfully held. Yay!

    A thread of the alternator belt came off

    Oh, that's not a problem, The loose thread cut right through one of the AC pipes that's near the front grille, so there's no AC anyway :p Thank you for your input, though! :)

    A thread of the alternator belt came off

    Howdy, A 2-millimeter wide thread, about 10 inches long, came off of my 2014 PIU's alternator belt. And I'm 400 miles from home, it's the 4th of July and no repair shops are open. I cut the loose thread off, the rest of the belt seems to be okay. Do you think I can make it home? Thank you!

    Replace headlight bulbs with LEDs on 2014 PIU?

    Howdy, Has anybody replaced their Explorer/PIU's headlight bulbs (9005) with LEDs? How did that go? Better or worse than with halogens? Do they flicker, did you need an anti-flicker capacitor? Are they positioned correctly, not too high or too low? If you've done it successfully, which LED...

    Smell of urine (or something) when AC is off

    Ladies, gentlemen, I discovered a weird problem. When I turn off the AC, the air that's flowing into the car smells like urine or something similar. It doesn't matter if it's circulating the air inside the car or taking in the outside air. When the AC is on, however, there is no weird smell...
