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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I don't have an owners manual so I am guessing on some things as to how they operate. So, the rear wiper - I assume that ring on the turn signal is the rear wiper? I've put it in several positions, and nothing happens. If this means it's broken, what could be wrong with it? I would assume if it...

Is TowingExplorer still around? If you are, would you please update you pics in that 2006 V8 4wd change rear struts thread? That looks like a very useful thread, but all of the images are broken links. Thanks you you sir, and anyone who goes through that much trouble for the benefit of others.

I just had to get a new (used) replacement wheel for my newly acquired 2010 EB, because the front driver's side wheel had a crack in it (wouldn't hold air). When I picked up the used unit from the yard, I was a bit taken aback by the strap in the middle of the wheel cavity with the blue box. I...

In one corner we have: A white EB V8 4x4 with 118k with everything I want except nav system that is 275 miles from me (important because I will drive my 99EB to trade in). According to the car fax, it has had a minor front end collision. I figured that might be the case, since it was missing...

I am about to upgrade from my 1999 EB V8, and while looking at the offerings at Autotrader, CarGurus, etc, I get confused about the steering wheel buttons. What I want: Brown (Basically a French Grey, whatever Ford calls it) EB - white if I can't find brown The standard tan leather interior -...

Picked up an unbroken unit at the U-Pull-It, got it home, undid my existing passenger sun visor, and wow. I though I pulled from the same year EB, but the electrical connector on my 99 is square, and the one I pulled from the junkyard is round. I guess I could just splice in the square connector...

Dealer was kind enough to put the truck up on a lift and text me these pics. Notice the rust at the frame connections (welds) and the exhaust pipes and the mounting bolts. 9 year old truck... From the midwest-rustbelt region. Can this be easily sandblasted and painted? Should I just keep looking?

So, thanks to all the help here, I got my front diff swapped and new front axles installed. Drives great and is quiet again, so that was the problem. But now... I went in to autozone to get that stupid CEL checked out to see why it still thought I had a cyl.#8 misfire when I changed the plugs...

I got the salvage pumpkin without a mid-shaft in it, so I thought I would just re-use the one out of my trashed front diff. But how do you grab it and pull it out? Is there some sort of snap ring I don't know about? Tried to lightly punch it out from the driver's side, but it wont budge. Any...

I am going to rebuild my front drive shaft. Seen a couple of videos on the Youtubes. Looks like fun. I have found the front drive shaft rear CV joint rebuild kit for 40 bucks at AM auto parts, but I cannot find the front U-joint and be sure that I am buying the right one (right size, diameter...

Started about 2 weeks ago. "I think it's a coincidence", but just after I changed my plugs and wires to get rid of a CEL (mis-fire cylinder #8). I know I took the wheels off to get to the plugs, but I just know I tightened up the lug nuts like I always do when I got through. 1999 V8 EB AWD...

I asked over on the Modified Forum, but haven't received any feedback, nor has there been any activity over there since I posted it. So I'll ask here. As I said in my other thread here, I am looking to buy a 4th gen EB V8 4wd (2010 if I can get it), and I have found several that are perfect...

So, I want, I want, I want.... hehehehe Coming from the second gen ('99) like I am, I assumed the Eddie Bauer was still the king as far as amenities. Now after hours and hours of autotrader, cargurus, and cars.com, I am seeing that the Limited more times than not has it over the EB. Like, I...

Well, I've got the bug. I want a newer Explorer. So I have a question about the nice Nav-system style radios I see in some of the 2008-2010s for sale. I want to buy a 2010 (or '08 or '09) Eddie Bauer V8 4x4. I really am interested in the pewter color, but I would really like the dark blue or...

Hey guys. Got a question. I have noticed last couple of years, especially in the summer, my 5.0L is making a sound under acceleration and/or load that reminds me of a very bad thing. When I was younger, I competed in what are called enduros - 4 to 6 hour long races 80 to 100 miles long on a...

Sooo..... I'm guessing, after struggling for a couple of hours, that you can NOT drop the yolk off the lower ball joint bolt without disconnecting the drive shaft? Correct? I am changing out the LCAs (both sides) and I was gonna try it without removing anything off the yolk. Also, under...
