Hi everyone.
First post on the Explorer side of things. The AC in my wife's 2016 Explorer with the 2.3 Ecoboost stopped working about a month ago and I couldn't figure out why. This morning I was changing the oil and I found the clutch sitting on top of the removable skid plate with the head of it's retention bolt. So the head is sheared of and I am not sure what is the best way to remove and replace, and what bolt size/thread pitch to replace it with. Do I need to do anything more than bolt the clutch plate back to the the compressor?
The other issue I ran into was the Motorcraft oil filter that was the Motorcraft FL910S oil filter that was listed as the correct one for the vehicle was too large (thread) for the vehicle. I had to run to the store pickup a find a different filter using the generic one that was on there (the wife went to Jiffy Lube when I was out of town earlier this year). They found the Wix 51348XP to be a match and I bought it to finish the job. They didn't have a Motorcraft equivalent. All that being said, what is the correct Motorcraft filter for this application?
