    Ballistic Panel rattle

    Hi, I just recently purchased a 2013 PIU with 81,000 on it. I've done my due diligence, but I can't find any repair or removal information on the ballistic panels. I'm not sure of the panel manufacturer without pulling the door skin but my best guess is angel armor. They rattle when I close the...

    Preventive water pump replacement or extended warranty

    Got a sweet deal on an immaculate 2014 PIU at state auction. You can barely even hear the 3.7L engine running! It was a State Trooper unit, so it has high highway miles at 170,000. I'm debating on spending $300-400 on an extended powertrain warranty to take me to 200,000 or to just go ahead...

    Replace headlight bulbs with LEDs on 2014 PIU?

    Howdy, Has anybody replaced their Explorer/PIU's headlight bulbs (9005) with LEDs? How did that go? Better or worse than with halogens? Do they flicker, did you need an anti-flicker capacitor? Are they positioned correctly, not too high or too low? If you've done it successfully, which LED...

    Possible to Supercharge the 3.7L Engine?

    So we all know the 3.7L V6 found in a large number of PIUs is pretty robust, and I've been watching videos where people with 2014-era V6 Mustangs are racing people with the V8 Mustang and performing admirably - the V6 is no slouch and it's lighter than the V8. (They're still losing...but it's...

    Pursuit mode

    Prior to brining my explorer into Ford, pursuit mode would activate upon aggressive driving. Now, even with 10 min. of intentional aggressive driving pursuit mode will not activate. The vehicle was brought in to Ford for recalls. Would Ford have turned the pursuit mode off on my vehicle?

    2016 PIU no-sync to sync?

    Hey all! I recently acquired a beautiful Dark Blue 2016 PIU with 36k miles on it. The agency that purchased it originally over ordered and sent it to the auction with delivery miles and was purchased by a civilian and had an easy non-LEO life. Unfortunately for me, its a non-sync vehicle and...

    List of Differing Parts Between 2013 PIU and 2013 Explorer

    So I bought a PIU at auction and it runs great but just has come cosmetic things I'm dealing with. I learned the hard way that the tail lights are different. (I didn't google hard enough.) I just pulled out the center instrument panel to make sure the part was the same as the Explorer and I...

    Is it legal to own a PIU?

    For the last few years, I have been considering picking one up as a third car for hauling/towing stuff and whatnot. Is it legal to own one in California?

    Explorer Carbon Monoxide CO Detector Install

    Hey everyone, if you own an Explorer I'm sure you're aware of the Carbon Monoxide issues entering the cabin. I took it upon myself as a safety measure to go out and buy a Detector. I purchased this simple unit at my local Home Depot for $19.97 plus tax. Given the fact I'm still in limbo with...
