    First Gen Sync question

    I have been using my 2010 Eddie Bauer with the 1stGen Sync for the whole 5 years I've owned the truck with no problems. Specifically, I've paired my Samsung Galaxy J7 to it. It has been cool to be able to listen pandora and youtube and such. A few days ago, my phone started acting up. So I took...

    Short 2 or 3 second spurts of drag... to the right? Maybe not.

    Started about an hour ago on my way into town. I have been having rough shifting issues for the last 30k/year and a half. It doesn't feel like break grasping, more like loss of power or a wheel loose on the hub, although it didn't shimmy or shutter. It was a smooth drag for just a moment. It...

    No codes, but fuel smell inside cabin during driving.

    I should clarify... When I say "no codes", what I should have said was "no CEL". I haven't plugged in a reader.

    No codes, but fuel smell inside cabin during driving.

    I noticed it for the first time Saturday evening, and then I had to endure it on a 5 hour trip back home yesterday (Sunday). I payed special attention to myself re: headaches, dizziness, nausea, sleepiness, etc. on the drive home, but nothing other than being road-weary the last 30 minutes, so I...

    Deep Sleep Mode

    Good gosh.... Yet another reason to buy a used car or truck of 1990s vintage and just restore the crap out of it.

    Arrrrgggg Front hub stuck/frozen on 2010 4X4 v8

    The bearing assembly is INSIDE the front hub, and it is all one "non-serviceable" piece.

    Arrrrgggg Front hub stuck/frozen on 2010 4X4 v8

    Yeah, I got serious with the propane torch this afternoon. Made little to no difference. I tried (against my better judgement) to do the "power steering as an hydraulic press", but was too chicken to really torque it. At this point, screw it. I put it back together. Gonna pay a shop to do it...

    Arrrrgggg Front hub stuck/frozen on 2010 4X4 v8

    I'm starting on the passenger side (replacing both sides). I've been at it since noon yesterday. I've tried about 5 doses of penetrating oil, banged on the lug nut bolt flange from both sides of the steering knuckle, I've banged on the base of the hub side to side using a tow ball as a drift...

    Fuel gauge inaccurate after fuel pump replacement

    Did you get the issue fixed, and if so, what was their mistake? I just put mine back in today, but I question the guy's competency.

    Rear Air strange noise on 2010 V8 4x4

    Original post over a year ago. I just noticed it again, and forgot I had posted this question last Summer. It is still doing the same thing, but I hadn't turned my rear air on since last year until now. Just a renewed request to anyone who would know what that thumping noise is over my left...

    Fuel gauge inaccurate after fuel pump replacement

    I started a thread last week about my fuel pump going out. I had it fixed, picked it up on Wednesday, and ever since, my fuel gauge hasn't made sense. My truck went in the shop nearly full. I wasn't sure what would be involved with replacing the pump, since I assume it is IN the tank (could be...

    Something weird happened tonight (no start)

    Just reporting back to close the case. If you have my symptoms, probably a fuel pump. I paid somebody to do it. It's too hot out here to get dirty AND sweat. $633 for comparison's sake. That includes a new fuel filter and labor.

    Something weird happened tonight (no start)

    Tow truck showed up (friend of mine from Bible study class), he went through a WHOLE bunch of trouble backing into my tight driveway, got in position, I get in the truck to put it in neutral, and out of habit I put the key in and turn..... YOU know what happened.... I followed him back to his...

    Something weird happened tonight (no start)

    LOL!!! Yeah, I checked that during the carb cleaner starts. No effect. I assume all you do is push the button, correct?

    Something weird happened tonight (no start)

    Air filter was clean. I have determined that it is definitely a fuel problem. I removed the duct to the throttle body, opened the butterfly a little bit, and squirted a little carb cleaner into the intake mani. It fired up, idled for about 2 or 3 seconds, and then died. I repeated the process 4...

    Something weird happened tonight (no start)

    Alright... Same thing this morning. Something tells me this is going to be expensive. I got on YouTube this morning and found out those round black things are the coils - 8 individual ones over all the plugs. I don't have my tools at home (office renovation project), so I'm gonna have to get...

    Something weird happened tonight (no start)

    I've had my v8 2010 4x4 for about 2 years now (?). Daily driver, distance varies. I got it with 95K on it, and it now has about 154k on it. It has always run like clockwork since I got it. Aside from normal wear and tear, like I need a new front left hub right now, I have had no issues. Tonight...

    Rear Air strange noise on 2010 V8 4x4

    I have been enjoying my new ride I got back in February. A few minor defects I would like to rectify, but all in all, a solid truck. Something started a few days ago that has got me worried. At first it sounded like a half-filled gas tank sloshing. Then I noticed that... no.... I have a full...

    2006 Explorer Console Disassembly Procedure

    No, you are not the only one. If a Thread is to be useful, the pics should be intact. I don't know the answer to this problem, but have run into this on many threads lately. One way to correct this is to "host" your pics on your facebook profile. I have started doing this lately and it works...

    Being new to the 4.6, I'm wondering if this diesel sound is normal?

    I'm not getting a CEL. Like I said, it is very faint. Most people wouldn't even notice it, but coming from the 5.0L, this engine sounds different. It *MAY* just sound this way. IDK. And @ thebreakman - This is definitely after warm up. If I had to guess, I would say this must be the very...

    Being new to the 4.6, I'm wondering if this diesel sound is normal?

    Just checked out a couple videos on YouTube. Very interesting... Thanks! Any risk in letting it go 'til the summer?

    Being new to the 4.6, I'm wondering if this diesel sound is normal?

    Sounds like rockers knocking or a diesel engine. Truck is new to me (3 weeks) 120k miles on it, and seems strong and gets good gas mileage (21mpg if I hold my tongue just right) . Does not run hot. Oil level seems correct. It is very faint, but it's definitely there. Am I worrying for nothing...

    4x4 light on the dash came on today (v8)

    So the fact that my 4x4 light stayed on might be cause for concern?

    4x4 light on the dash came on today (v8)

    So, where I park, my right tires are off the driveway, and right now it's real muddy. I have owned this '10 for about 2 weeks. This hasn't happened before today. I pulled out of the drive, my tires slipped in the mud (quite a new feeling for me, as my previous '99 was AWD), but I didn't give it...
