So... I've got some inheritance money coming, and I'm considering trading in the '05 V6 2WD XLS.... for an '05 V8 4x4 Limited black on black. Any issues I should be aware of on this model, or is it all the same stuff I'd run into on my XLS? (That gear in the diff's "whine of death" for one)...

So this may be an odd question. My house came with a Chamberlain garage door opener, but I have an issue with the remote. My remote does not work when it's on the visor. It doesn't matter if it's on my visor or the passenger. I've tried new batteries, I bought a new remote, I checked the antenna...

Right before I loaded my Ex on a U-Haul trailer, my washer pump quit. It's not my stalk switches as when I push the wash mode for front or rear, the wipers will work, but nothing comes out. I tried it with the engine off, and I can't hear the pump running. I can't find a listing for a fuse or...

This is one thing I cannot find a good work up on, and I really need to know what I am getting in to. I've done disc brakes, plugs, oil (duh), air filter... general maintenance. But I don't know if doing this is biting off more than I can chew. I know for a fact my uppers *must* be...

So I was thinking about this one for a while, and I know the next thing I want to do, other than what I need to do. But to my mind, I have unanswered questions. On the gauges, do the bulbs have the rubber sleeves over them for the green, or am I going to find all of my coloring to be in the...

I wanted to show off my current LEDs in my front corners, tails, reverse, and license. I plan to do more, but it will be a little bit.

So I've finally gotten around to changing my spark plugs, and it's good that I did as the ones I pulled were pretty well baked. During this upgrade, I installed Bosch Platinum +4 plugs, a K&N air filter to fit the factory intake, and an oil change to Mobil 1 5w30 full synthetic, in my 2005 XLS...

So here's what I've run into. I bought new LED tails for my Explorer, and they work great. I also bought 60M-SMT white LED retrofit bulbs for the reverse lights. But when I tried to install the dual colors in the front corners, I can't make them work. I tried to install the 6 ohm resistors, but...

So I have a good challenge for all you technically / technologically inclined members out there. My truck got whanged on the parking lot when I went to get my mail the other day. Not your common door ding either. Idiot in a Dodge dually backed out into the left rear quarter panel of my ex...

I've had my '05 Explorer since Jun, and I've been thinking of things it would be nice to have. Some of my ideas are redundant, but the more opinions and info I have on this, the better of a decision I can make. Someone had posted that I could add the AutoLamp by installing a new rear-view...

Well, thankfully, the rear wiper is working flawlessly now, and no more issues with the fuel system. Now I'm just looking for upgrades. My '05 has SecuriLock keys and factory keyless. Seperate key and remote. While doing some nosing around, I found Ford has released a 1-piece key/remote for...

Everyone has told me that the best places to find info on my car is on the interner. When I bought the Explorer, I didn't realise I'd need help so soon. I've had my truck less than a month now, and I already have 2 problems come up. First thing was my gas guage flatlined and the message...
