Looking for switched accessory power in the rear of 2013 PIU. 12v that turns off with the ignition. Rear dash cam needs to sense accessory 12v turn off to go into parking mode. Battery power is easy as there is a large distribution block. I'd prefer not to need to run a new wire up front. Yes...

Mildly miffed I live in New England, rust is natural. Took my primary commuter to get a very minor exhaust leak fixed. Excellent exhaust shop, used them before. Great guys. Of course as usual, you touch one thing and another thing breaks. Ended up needing flex pipes, resonator, and mufflers...

My 2013 PIU came with factory corner strobes and the department that had it before me chopped all the wires off inside the console. Since I'm the Animal Control officer for 4 towns, I'd like to not die when I'm on the side of the road. I have dash and rear deck strobes, but they are kinda cheapo...

What is the general consensus for brighter 7440 reverse bulbs for a Gen 5 Explorer? I have a 2013 PIU. I do not need or demand LED, just something actually brighter that helps me SEE when backing up, not just look cool. I'm not interested in putting in aircraft landing lights, just changing the...

When do you need to have IVD Initialization Sequence preformed? After an alignment or front end work? Brake work? Change tires? There is very little information out there as to exactly when it's needed. Aside from having a blatent AdvanceTrac related work like a yaw sensor. Hopefully someome...

Has anyone tried adding any of these "missing" optional modules to their PIU? Granted some may not be compatible or practical at all and some are less tantalizing, while others seem fun. For instance I know PIUs may or may not be fittied with a GSM (Generic Function Module) which gives...

On a cold soak start, I see this very odd idle until the engine warms up. Feels a touch rough. I hate it. Freaks me out. With any other vehicle, this would be cause for a serious investigation of a problem. -Cold engine -Crank -1500 -1100 with slight bounce -800 -600 (at normal temp) I've read...

LONG story short, I'm replacing my PTU due to a semi significant leak. The amazing ecoboost_xsport and I have been going back and forth with this. I have a 2013 PIU 3.7L non-turbo - my PTU has a cooler and drain plug. The major question is, what is the difference in PTU's for Explorers WITH a...

2013 PIU, 94K, well maintained. Synthetic oil. I had planned on doing my plugs and PCV before winter, so since the manifold is off, why not address my VCT seal leak too. Also called a VVT (variable valve timing) it seems. Also, since I have the valve cover off, is there any advantage to...

During an oil change, I saw a very wet PTU and naturally freaked out. Before: Brake cleaned the area, drove for a bit and saw a few drips of CLEAR fluid right at this bolt or maybe the seam. I could BARELY see it but it was slightly wet and shiny. I'm surprised it was so clear. Mind you I...

What do you folks use for cell phone holders? Other vehicles haven't been bad to outfit but my PIU seems to be startlingly difficult. I've always been able to keep my phone at almost eye level, just below the dashboard. Vent mount, or right next to the radio. My 2013 PIU came with a very nice...

I searched but came up empty. My new-to-me 2013 PIU has 4 rear bumper sensors that seem to be useless. I verified and there ARE 'things' with two wires in each sensor location. I'm not sure if they count toward BLIS or backup proximity alert. Nothing on my dash, mirrors or Forscan indicate that...
