Watch this video from fordtechmakuloco. He has many excellent videos to help with a lot of issues. Looks like the 'dipstick' is on the right side, almost at the forward end of the pan. Be careful of the hot exhaust very close to the fill port. Also, the 2006-2008 6R60 transmission uses...

I am in the process of repairing minor front end damage, and looking for used parts. Does anyone know if the 'white' paint on the XLT is the same as the 'white' Limited? My 2008 Limited has a paint code of 'PV'. I just searched one paint website and it shows it is called 'white chocolate...

I'm goin g to say this has been resolved, It's been over a month w/ no more shutdowns. I tried reseating the connections to the ECU, but that had no effect. All connections appeared clean. Also reseated the wiring connections to the transmission. I finally decided to change the two rear COP...

We have a 2008 with 250,000. I don't think it uses a quart between oil changes at 5,000 miles. It has had regular maintenance throughout its life.

"The '97 had a door lock switch mounted to the inside rear quarter panel that I used all the time. " I purchased an '06 Limited earlier this year that has this lock button. My girlfriends 08 Limited doesn't have it. Must be something Ford quit installing in later year models.

Reminds me of being 16-17 years old at my friends house. His parents were away, and he had keys to brothers Camaro. We went for a joyride, including some 'elevated' speeds above the legal limit. On returning home I notices how much nylon cord was showing around the middle of the tires. We...

That must be the reason. I have acquired a couple nav units, and they all default to MI without an antenna. I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to add nav and sync to my 2006 Limited. I've read several posts where others have done this, using a sync install kit for a Mustang. I wish I could...

If it is not receiving a gps signal, there will be a 'GPS' symbol w/ red circle w/ line through it in the upper left corner, right next to the NORTH indicator. The GPS antenna has a pink connector in the back of the radio, just above the black am/fm antenna connector. I'm not sure exactly...

We have a 2008 Explorer Limited w/ 4.6 engine. We have been having random engine shutdown over the last 6 months or so. When this happens, she pulls over, turns key off and then car restarts normally. This happens maybe once or twice a month (hasn't happened when I was in the car). I've...

Interesting, I just purchased a 2006 Limited, and two days ago I started getting the error for right front abs sensor also. Just looked on Advance Auto for sensor, any chance they have confused front and rear sensor? Advance shows different parts for front / rear. Rear almost double the price

Regarding U-Haul experience, I just purchased an 06 Explorer Limited and wanted to rent a trailer to put the car on. Tow vehicle is a 96 Ford F-350 w/ 7.3 Turbo. Not sure of the hitch rating, but I estimated at least 8,000 lbs. I went online and started a reservation. System said this was an...

Wondering if you ever got this resolved. I have tried again installing my Nav unit, this time I changed the steering wheel switch out with the correct one for the Nav unit, the one without the "OK" button. Steering wheel buttons do not work correctly. Media, and Scan up button both change...

I too have an 08 that I am trying to add navigation to. If your vehicle had Sync without nav, you will also have an 'OK' button next to the sync button. I believe the ones that came with Nav do not have the OK button. I guessing there may be a different resistance value for the button that...

Thanks for the reply, you confirmed the one second delay for the dash light to indicate 4low is normal. Still concerned w/ the hard shift into gear when I tried to move. Maybe I should go back for another test. He did say it came w/ a 90 day powertrain warranty.

Thanks for the reply. I am familiar w/ low gearing. Old '78 F250, first gear would redline around 9mph. This explorer felt like it was not in gear until around 1200rpm, it went into gear with a hard shift.

I recently visited a small dealer to look at a 2008 Explorer Limited. It has the 4.6 V8 w/ 4wheel drive. I wanted the car, as I think the only option it didn't have was the DVD player (even has heated windshield). My question is regarding using 4wheel low. 4x4 auto, and high seemed to drive...

New to the forum, and I have the same issue, no sound after adding SDARS module. This is in a 2008 Explorer Limited. It has 6disc audiophile radio (with rear sub woofer) and Sync. No DVD, no moonroof. Radio displays satellite channels, but no sound. The post from GH67 regarding the...
