    Got Magnaflow 35121 installed today

    I don't think they'll make any difference as they're not resonated exhaust tips. I know in the truck world some people say tips can change their exhaust notes. i haven't experienced that behavior myself. No changes in the Explorer exhaust notes in this case. I also have a RAM 1500 Hemi as you...

    Changing Out Front/Rear Emblems

    As per suggestions in post#22 here is what i did: 1.) Took the plastic cover out removing the 7 bolts and 2 plastic fasteners. 2.) Then wedged 2 small pieces of 2x4 to hold the grill out which will give all the space you need to put your hands in there without having to hold anything down by...

    Changing Out Front/Rear Emblems

    Finished the job. Ty for this thread made the job a complete breeze:). Front was actually easier than the rear. Took me less than 10 min to do the front. The rear was about 15 min cause I kept breaking my dental floss line trying to get the glue out of the back emblem mainly because of the...

    2013 Explorer XLT 4WD Sucks in snow/AWD turns off

    So what tires do you have right now ? is it possible the tires are summer only ? or perhaps bald all season or just mediocre all season? the note of a regular car in this case Altima doing just fine as opposed to your AWD suv sounds familiar and its not the traction control system. I had an 09...

    Changing Out Front/Rear Emblems

    Do i have to take the bumper off ? i want to replace the Ford blue emblem in the grill with a black one i bought from Amazon. I thought it was going to be easy but there is no way for me to put my hand and get a rachet or anything in there as i feel i'm going to brake the front grill. What's...

    2017 Ford Explorer // Clicking noise from upper area of tailgate

    Grab a piece of 3/8 hose and use it as a stethoscope. If the noise is coming out around the area close to the spoiler you should be able to pinpoint exactly where. Could be the actuactor of the liftgate door? as i'd think the darn thing has something that allows the tailgate to close on its own...

    2017 Explorer XLT 3.5 L V6 FWD (6F55 transmission).

    You did good, typically you want to check you trans fluid with the trans at operating temp, but with engine still running as the trans pump is cyclying the fluid. Good luck with the diagnosis hopefully there are no issues and the level is ok. Good thing we still have dipsticks. I had a 14 Dodge...

    Bought a 17 Explorer XLT for the wife yesterday, traded in her 2014 Dodge Durango SXT. The Explorer is so much better looking in person.
