Thank you for everything. SHO long!
This forum has provided me a wealth of knowledge and the enjoyment of camaraderie with like minded people. On the give and take of the knowledge exchange I know I’ve done more taking than giving. Many tips gained here I’ve taken with me to other vehicles. Such as FORScan. Can’t wait to get rid...- JRV1631

What am I doing wrong?(Project Complete!)
So I tried to convert my shifter this morning with the kit that @Nova shared in an earlier thread. A link to the kit is here: https://www.wmgarage.com/product-page/automatic-shaft-conversion-kit Disassembly was uneventful. There are 2 tabs on the boot that you need to pry out while pulling the...- JRV1631

Anybody recognize this?
I always keep an eye for new or unexpected things in my garage parking spot. Fluid drops etc. Today, I found this. I don’t recognize this lock washer. Teeth on one side, smooth on the other. Could, hopefully, be road trash. But, if it’s recognized as a part of an important component , I’d like...- JRV1631

Dome lights won’t fire automatically
A year or so ago I purchased LED scuff plates. I also replaced all of the interior lights with LED’s. Then one time, after having the doors open for an extended amount of time upgrading the speakers, the dome lights would not fire when opening the door. But, if you get in and press any of the...- JRV1631

Cooling System Maintenance
We’re about to roll 40K miles. I’ve been keeping the miles down some and driving the Explorer. But I’ve heard horror stories about the cooling system/water pump on this platform. So I’m looking for a little input. The manufacturers 40K maintenance shows “Inspect cooling system and hoses”. I was...- JRV1631

To cool or not to cool? Aka: Benefit or boondoggle?
I maintain a climate controlled garage. Never below 58-60 in winter, never above 74 summer or 45% Rh. I know it’s a benefit to the leather interiors. My last trade in was 11 years old and the leather had very minor use wear. But still supple and nowhere near cracking or drying out. But, since...- JRV1631

MRT Axle back exhaust
Has anybody tried this? On my V-8’s I use Flowmasters. But on a previous Supercharged V-6 3.8 I put Flowmasters on and it sounded awful. Like a 4 cyl. with one of those big cans. I stayed with the dual exhaust look but went with a “one step above stock” quite muffler. I realize that since it’s...- JRV1631

Access to “Black Box”
As always I made an effort to see if this has been discussed prior. If it has and I missed it I apologize in advance. But is there a way, possibly through FORScan, to access information in the “black box”? Or do we even have one? I know in a recent incident involving a mustang the info in the...- JRV1631
