Everyone is giving good advice on the v6. I will say that I am a GM guy also. Im also a Jeep guy. I looked at Explorers because on paper they fit my needs perfectly. And they're pretty good looking. I test drove a couple V6's, even a limited. They were ok. Then I test drove my 2010 V8...

Yeah that would be frustrating. The pin has some serrations where it intersects with the plunger. That's why I say not to twist. If you twist, those serrations might remove some material from the hole in the plunger, and it might not be a tight fit when you put it back. Then again... It might be...

Did you reinstall all the shift lock parts? Everything plugged back in like that solenoid? If you were able to budge the pin, then nothing should have changed. It took some wiggling to get that sucker out. It's just a press fit into that plastic plunger. Anyone else have trouble getting it...

Removing the plastic rod should relieve all of the worry! Remember to pull/wiggle that little shaft out to release the plastic plunger, dont twist. Couple of extra pointers. Make sure you measure twice before drilling. Get the knob all the way seated, and carefully mark the holes. Use a...

They are so cheap...Im thinking about buying another one to keep around in case something happens to this one. Its so nice to rest your hand on, I find myself doing it often. Im afraid the leather will wear or get messed up from hand oils. So I might snag one just in case it needs a freshen...

So glad the video helped!!! If the shifter being clocked slightly off bothers you, just drill the opposite hole in a better spot and use the other side to screw it down. That was my thinking haha. My two bolts dont line up that great, so I just use one. But if I didnt like the angle, I could...

Check out my video above. Tap and drill sizes are in there, as well as some tips and tricks for the install. It's a few posts up. J.

If you have the stock switches, you can modify them for single outputs. You would just have to cut the traces and solder directly to the little surface mount push buttons. It wouldnt be hard. But you HAVE to sever the traces or else each button will trigger the other two. You could take the...

I can actually help you out here... Those push buttons are NOT as simple as they seem. While they are momentary buttons, they do not have separate outputs. They all run through two wires. So, one wire for ground, and the other wire runs through resistors for each button. So you can not get...

I didnt modify the actual switch much at all. Just drilled a hole for the LED to shine through, and attached the switch via a push-rod. As far as I can tell, there should be no difference. Mine will push further on the left side of the switch than the right side, just because of the way its...

I thought about making a few units up. But honestly, I would hate to sell this, and have someone wire it up wrong, or have the trasnfer case get messed up. Plus the 4x4 switch needs pretty extensive modification. So I would need the switch sent to me, etc etc. Ide rather just share the idea...

Watch the video when you're home :) It will be super clear. But basically, the Auto-4x4 button can be depressed without activating the micro switch that I added. If you press a little harder, you will feel the click of the switch that I added and you will trigger the system. The rod that I...

Hey all. Ive been tinkering with my Auto-4x4 disable for a bit now on my 2010 4.6 Eddie Bauer. I HATED the way the Auto-4x4 system worked. When I first got the Explorer, the transfer case made so much noise. A noise that many of you describe on the forums as a groaning sound. And it would...

What kind of paint did you use on the steps? How are they holding up to being stepped on and brushed against? They look amazing when fresh. Im not sure how the straight black would look on my Eddie Baurer, but the steps are faded so bad I have to do something.

Still searching. Getting worse with the cold weather it seems. Which is indicating possibly a relay issue. The only issue is...I cant seem to narrow it down. I was thinking maybe the accessory delay relay, but this morning the problem cropped up, and upon taking out the key, I still was able...

Anybody? This is really starting to irritate me. I looked through wiring diagrams. CB1 (circuit breaker) is common among them...so my thought was ok maybe something is tripping it, and its not resetting properly. I.E. the auto driver window is maybe tripping it. However, other things run...

Do you have a picture of the bull bar with the light bar? Ive been thinking about doing this in my bull bar. I was trying to sell an extra brand new Westin Ultimate bar for super cheap but no one wanted it. So I might ditch my old bar and install the new one, and was thinking about adding a...

Hey all. Ive been having an odd issue with my 2010 Explorer. Every so often, twice while trying to go through the dunkin donut drive through, my driver window fails to go down. Its happened 3 times since I've owned it. This past weekend it happened both saturday and sunday. What happens...

This is a dead thread...but I wanted to update. So I unplugged the antenna wire down at the factory sat radio box. It has the tan Fakra connector. I was able to fit an XM radio Fakra connector into it with slight modification. I then hard wired that to my tablet's internal GPS contacts...

Ide be interested to know as well. I dont think many folks tune on their own Explorers though. Im on the fence...I just need to get the Ford credits for HPTuners, because all I have is GM credits. $100 and I could mess with mine. But if all I can do is play around with a few things, Im...

The MPG shown is the most accurate of any car Ive ever owned. I always stop filling when the handle clicks off, and I always calculate it manually and its usually within .1 mpg of what the dash shows. Extremely happy with that...I just like when things work well haha. When I first did the...

I can tell you that I got my 2010 with 65k miles on it. Shortly before I got it, the previous owner had the rear diff replaced. One of the seals let go and lost all the fluid, causing the rear to grenade. It was all replaced under warranty, and they replaced quite a few parts in the process...

That thing looks great! At first I didnt dig the wheels...but the more I looked at it, the more I like them. I love that blacked out look though, especially the way that grill looks. Super clean. J.

You would have to do some probing and checking I guess. Weird that it happened though. 4WD module would be the easiest and cheapest to swap out Ide guess. This is assuming everything is hooked up and working properly everywhere else. Switches, relays, fuses, etc. So far mine is working...

I just put my wire back in...everything seems to work perfectly fine. Tested all settings and conditions and it seems 100% back to normal. Im not sure im going to go back to 2wd actually. The new tcase works 10x better than the old, I hardly know its even going into 4wd.
