    AC Drain Tubes

    I posted on here a while back about mositure buildup inside my 06 EX. Still havent found the issue, but I expanded my internet investigation to any car with moisture issues, instead of just Explorers. A common issue seems to be plugging of the evaporator drain hoses. It's been suggested on...

    Mold/Moisture collecting under back seat

    Not sure if anyone else has had something like this happen: I was cleaning my car today and pulled some junk out from under my back seat. Among a few other items (winter gloves, umbrellas, etc.) i grabbed a magazine and noticed it had mold on it as i put it into the trash bag. I flipped up my...

    Anyone self-installed an Excalibur Remote Start?

    Was goofing around on amazon, stumbled on the Omega Excalibur RS-130-DP remote start with the keyless bypass module for $99. Says it works with the factory key fob. Considering buying it, and trying to self install. Has anyone on here done either?

    2006 Evaporator Replacement

    My AC stopped blowing cold air last week. I tried to tough it out, but its been in the 80s and 90s in Boston, and that was too much with leather seats. Dropped it off at a local mechanic who called me back and said my evaporator needs to be replaced. Said the whole dash needs to come off...

    06 - Strange "Venting" Noise from Trunk

    The past two days of driving I noticed a weird "venting" noise coming from the trunk of my Explorer while driving. I'd heard it before, usually when I first turned on the car. It sounds almost like a pressure release, the same noise that comes out of the AC vents in the front when you first turn...

    Stupid Tire Question

    The sticker on the door of my EX says 32 PSI in each tire. Pretty sure that's lowe enough set off my TPMS. My Michellin Cross Terrains have a max of 43 PSI listed on the tire, so what should I be inflating to?

    Steering Wheel Question

    Anyone know where I can buy a new steering wheel? I've got an '06 EB, tan interior, and the tan color on the steering wheel is wearing away to the darker brown rubber underneath. If I can just replace to circle (leave the horn, airbag, audio controls on place, that would be great, but I'm not...

    Transmission Problem (I think...)

    My '06 V8 EB has been having problem after problem over the past few weeks. The newest of which is a bucking that started to occur when I'm accelerating on the highway. I barely even noticed it at first as it was extremely infrequent, and would only buck once, but after i left home for a...

    Engine Misfiring

    My car is at the local dealership having a diagnostic cun of the engine and computer. Here's the story: I dropped my explorer off yesterday morning to have my brakes done. Had front pads and rotors replaced. Inspection also found that i had a leaky pinion, and a loose lower ball joint. I...

    06 Explorer V8 - Loud "Woosh"ing Noise

    Over the past few months I've noticed a loud "woosh"ing noise coming from my engine when I accelate. At first it was very infrequent, but the past few days its been occuring more often. Its typically from a dead-stop, but it will occasionally happen when I'm driving at a constant speed and then...

    "Squishy" Brake Pedal

    I just hit 65k on my 06 ED V8. I'm due for new brake pads (and probably rotors) soon, but recently I've started feeling a squishy, spongy feeling when i step on the brakes. I noticed it happens even if the car is still, or in park, so I imagine its more to do with the pedal and not the actual...

    Need Help Replacing Brakes (rotors & pads)

    Looking for a little help here from anyone who's replaced their rotors and pads themselves. I have an 06 V8 EB Edition. I drive a lot for work and went into the dealership last weekend for my 60,000 servicing. Everything checked out and was in good shape, but the tech noticed that my brakes...
