My six-way passenger seat in my 2010 stopped going up and down. It was frozen at the highest level. The seat has three motors controlling screws through small plastic gearboxes. None of it's intended to be serviced. A replacement "seat pedestal" is a $950 part. Common problems with these...

I ordered a new TPMS for my 2010 Part # 6F2Z-1A189-A (TPMS-3). The one I received in a properly marked Motorcraft bag was RED. They have always been BLUE in the past. Anyone ever install a red one? Ford has been no help in addressing my concern.

On a long trip, my 2010 4.6L Explorer began showing a wrench warning lamp. Codes read with a Ford Enhanced OBD reader showed a problem with the throttle position sensor. The sensor actually consists of two potentiometers, which read inversely of one another. When graphing the output of...

A very easy job today. Noticed upper bushings were goobered out while changing a lower ball joint last week, so I ordered a pair of Ford upper control arms. The old ones have 138,000 miles on them. The Motorcraft parts were $70 each from Rock Auto and an exact match to the originals. Both...

My 2010 V-8 has 135,000 miles on it. The timing chains have rattled on startup since 80,000 miles. The noise always went away after a second when the tensioners pumped up. We knew the problem were the tensioner seals which bled off pressure overnight. Last month things got worse, and the...

This was an easy one. Water was dribbling off the front cross member when hot and under pressure. I thought it was the radiator but checked by pressurizing the system. The leak looked like it was coming from just behind the crankshaft pulley. Some youTube videos are incorrect and show a...

Wife pulls up with the 2010 in limp mode overheated. It's 8 degrees out, 40 MPH wind and the truck's a gallon low in antifreeze. It's dribbling out of the bottom of the radiator it seems. I look it over, refill the coolant and replace the 20 lb radiator cap with a 16 lb one. I pressurize...

I replaced a banded tire pressure monitor today in my 2010. The car started sending Tire Pressure Monitor Fault message. The local tire dealer wanted $550 to replace the sensor and he said he'd use a generic Chinese sensor. I know that junk only lasts a few years so I opted to buy an OEM...

My 8 cylinder 2010 is whining. The whine is only while moving down the road and disappears when it shifts into 4th gear or so. It increases in pitch with speed, and isn't there while idling. It's not normal, but I could live with it. These 6R80's or whatever are usually pretty quiet. The...

With 120,000 miles, my 2010 lower ball joint started creaking. Ordered a new Motorcraft one from Rock Auto, $40 and made in Canada. Moog and the rest are now Chinese garbage. The job took two hours in the driveway. There are enough videos on YouTube to make the job a snap. Have the right...

If your transmission feels like it's not upshifting sometimes from second to third, ir may not be the transmission. Mine was doing that when very hot. The delayed shift was actually the fan turning on and bogging down the motor. The fan is a viscus coupled fan with an electric clutch. The...

The twelve year old OEM exhaust finally bit the dust on the 2010 V8, and I searched for a new one. My choices weren't good. I really wanted to replace it with Motorcraft stuff; a pricey $427 but I know it would last at least ten years. It's 304 Stainless. Most of the other stuff is noisy...

This week I replaced two front wheel hubs on my 2010. They were singing. Thought it was the left and changed it, and some of the noise was still there. Changed the right and all's fine once again. Used Motorcraft NHUB-6 hubs from RockAuto. About $150 each. Lots of Motorcraft's Chinese crap...
