I watch a lot of college football which btw is the only tme I see Ford commercials. The Built Ford Tough commercial currently being featured has no Explorer. I just dont understand how even internal to Ford why the opinion of the Ex has fallen so far from the 2nd Gen Ex to the 6th Gen Ex.

So I picked up a 1993 Explorer XLT 4x4 without functioning air conditioning. The compressor clutch won’t engage at all when the AC is pressed. Here is what I have troubleshot so far. 1. The system was near empty so I charged it up to full with coolant. 2. Tested for leaks, and there are none...

My headlights and interior lights have had a slight flicker for a while which has gotten worse recently. I think this broken ground strap may be the problem. Has anyone changed this before? Unfortunately it’s riveted to the hood so I can’t remove it easily. I see a hole were I could try to...

So here’s what I got going on. 2014 Ford Explorer XLT. Sat for about a week, ran perfect before that. Get in it and it’s a slow weak crank and does not start. Figured it was battery so I changed it. It began to slow crank again then no crank. Volt meter said 12.3 on my battery. Throwing several...

Okay as some of you may know, 6” is tops for these things. A.K.A. a 3” Body lift and a 3” Spacer lift with Btf uppers. Has anyone thought of any way to get more lift in the front end? For example you can Lower the upper control arm by about 2 inches if you bolt the brackets on upside down. Im...

So I recently purchased a 2016 Ford Explorer Sport. Everything I’m reading says that I should have the kick activated rear hatch but I can’t for the life of me get it to work.

I have a 2010 Ford Explorer and I have narrowed down the battery drain to something is keeping the SJB awake after about 35 minutes. It’s a .50 mah draw after sitting there at a .16 for 35 minutes. I have read that I need a OBD scanner tool that can read the sjb to find out what sensor is...

Took it to ford and paid 1000$ to have nothing fixed and for it to come back with an oil and coolant leak that’s gonna cost me an additional 1000$ to repair from quotes with the initial problem still being present. I don’t have the money. Anybody willing to give me advice that actually has...

2007 4.0 SOHC 4WD. I know this topic has been beaten to death but when I cold-start my truck I have a slight rattle which goes away very quickly (unless its REALLY cold out then it lasts a little longer). When the truck warms up the engine is super quiet and has good power. The only other thing...

01-08 ranger lift kit never installed. I bought this to put on my sport trac but I moved and didn't have the space to work on my truck, so it sat in storage for a year. I sold my truck so I have no use for this. I will also include 2 - 2 1/2 in wheel spacers 4 - shock boots

Purchased and drove it home 2.5 hours today. Overall really impressed so far. It has 143k miles. Going to have my mechanic look it over sometime soon, but I feel like I've made a good purchase. It needs a good detailing on the inside, but I'm excited about this one.

Hi Everyone, I own a 2018 Ford Explorer Platinum 3.5L V6. So far the vehicle has been pretty good going. One issue that bugs me is my wiper blades/arms. They always skip/hop/rattle/judder across the windscreen whenever they are used. I replaced the stock wiper blades with some Bosch Beam Icon™...

Hello all, my 2007 Explorer XLT 4.0 has developed an issue where the vehicle will intermittently stall. When this happens, the check engine light flashes and the oil pressure light comes on. Usually, it will start right back up but sometimes it will only crank. When it only cranks, if I wait a...

these two problems occur at the same time. If I turn my key over and I see the 4wd lights flashing. I can assume my windows won’t roll up or down. Tried researching online. Nothing. YouTube. Nothing.
