    Another Brake Issue Thread

    This is about my girlfriends 91 Explorer 4x4. The ABS light and red brake light were on, also when I drove it after the lights came on it had no front brakes, only the rears would lock up. I replaced the master cylinder, everything bled fine, but the lights were still on. After driving it it...

    Deader than hell

    I wish I would have read the manual when mine would not come out of park. (By the way it was the brake light switch) There is a manual release in the cupholder under the rubber mat. Dont know why they had to hide it...:eek:

    2006 Oil Change Required Reset

    I searched a previous thread about this but it didnt have a real clear answer. The manual doesnt say much but how do you get rid of OIL CHANGE REQURED message. This is my 2nd oil change and I didnt have any problem resetting it the first time its almost like there is something wrong (probably...

    Sorry: Foreign next time

    First of all this is an 06 Forum not an 00 Forum. Little problems are not a dead battery 100 miles from a dealer, a bad transfer case, and a down window in the rain in 7 months. You probably had to buy yours 4 years old and out of warranty and fix it yourself.

    Sorry: Foreign next time

    Well sorry to say when my lease is up in 3 years I will be visiting a Toyota, or Lexus dealer. I leased my 06 Explorer in Dec. so I could write off the payment for my business. I figured what could go wrong in 3 years? The week after I got the Explorer I got the recall for the wipers( duh some...

    Loud Clang or Bang when 4x4 engages

    Does anyone know if its normal for a bang to be heard from the front when the front wheels auto engage (when in 2 wheel drive.)Ive been doing some work in my STEEP back yard and when the front engages it sounds like something is about to grenade?? :roll:

    towing

    I recently towed my 24' car hauler (empty) 3200 lbs. and was very suprised at the ease of towing. I traded a 99 Escalade with the Vortec 350 and this pulls much better. I guess 45 more H.P. and 1000 lbs. less is the key.I would not leave it in drive, lock out the overdrive and it will stay in...

    06 Steering Wheel Rattle

    Does anyone else have a rattle in the wheel when cold out(below 30) At first I thought it was in the dash but have kind of figured out it was the wheel(after I smacked wheel.) The weird part is its quiet when warmer out. Taking it in Fri. for recall but kind of wondering if I want them ripping...

    2006 Cross bars for rack

    You guys are right. The bars are a $60 option. Good luck getting that price if you order them.

    2006 Cross bars for rack

    Sounds like the dealer borrowed them. If you have the rack it should have the bars.

    RECALL 06 Explorer

    Anyone else get the recall notice for the wiper motor. Seems quite a few were made with no lubricant in motor causing it to seize at worst moment. :confused:

    What's that thing on the rear view mirror?

    My guess is a tracking device. Homelink would be on visor in easy reach.

    2006 review

    I can confirm my 06 4.6 4x4 top speed is 98. Its not too bad when it cuts out, I had a car a couple years ago when it cut out it was like shutting the engine off then it would jerk back on, this is very smooth although could be faster...
