    2006 ford explorer charging system

    I know these newer cars wont run on just the battery like in the past, sounds like an alternator issue, if it were a wire/connection issue it would do it often id think but you never know.

    Has anyone elses suv done this at 45 mph in overdrive???

    Sounds funny but mine did it until i changed the sparkplugs. It acted like a torque converter issue

    2008 Explorer Hum Noise for Sub

    You could try hooking up another speaker to the sub amp to see if the sound is still there, also start the car w the alternator unhooked to see if it stops since thats the recent and only change.

    a/c question 06 EB

    Seems like allot of different issues, the dash unit would be the likely part there. I think there about 200 new or less used. Has anyone worked on this recently? I have some issues w mine sometimes and the fan only works on high. I replaced the resistor module on the blower w a used one and...

    Problem between 30-50MPH

    Its important to get a TC rebuild as it can get bad and flood the tranny with pieces of bad stuff. Also mine had a studder at 55-60 mph So i changed the plugs like others and it fixed it. although one plug broke the tool off amazon worked great thank God!

    resetting the oil change warning on the computer.

    I wish I wish, the only button that works is the one on the right the reset, i used my Ford shop manual to checkout the wires and connectors and it looks like I need to replace my instrument cluster,I already replaced the switch. ford wants 200+ just to mate it to the Ecu, thats not gona happen.

    Mpg??

    Swaping diff gears is an easy way to drop them rpms, I wonder if the v6 would get along with the gears just under the 3.55's ( 3.27 or something like that.)
