    2006 V8 4.6 Trans Pan Drop Problem

    Just talked to the mechanic at my local shop (not the dealership) and he won't do a pan drop & new filter on my 06 Explorer due to no dipstick, and issues with refilling the trans. Said he had done one and it was a nightmare to get the fluid back in the trans. Of course Ford will probably...

    Front Hitch Receiver for 2006 Explorer

    Hi Guys, Has anyone put a front hitch on their 06 Explorer? It looks like the 07-10 receivers are no problem but there may have been some funky mid-year changes on the 2006 cause I'm seeing two different styles for the 06. What I don't want to do is have to cut up the air dam/valance...

    '06 Key Stuck In Ignition - Shifter Button NG

    Hope someone's run into this one before... The ignition key won't come out of the ignition switch in my 06 Explorer, and the button on the automatic shifter handle won't depress at all (like it's stuck in the "squeezed" position - you can freely move the shifter from one gear to another...
