    Severe bucking/jerking when accelerating in a turn

    Do you see your RPM's fluttering when it happens? It sounds like the torque converter is going out (common for this car). But it wouldn't matter if you were turning or not. The issue would be present at lower RPM's (i.e. acceleration) or when going uphill. When was the transmission fluid last...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    Mine has similar issues from time to time but AM/FM always works. Sometimes It'll connect and all BT related audio is mute. I've tried every fix for it and the only thing that works is to reboot it (not pressing the power button, selecting reboot in the settings). After that it'll work fine for...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    Yea, this mod plays through the radio. I.e. if I'm streaming music or navigating, I have to go to the media settings on the radio and change it to BT, then launch Android Auto, else it'll all be mute. Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    You can get a NavTool for $400 which hijacks your OEM stereo and adds Android / Apple Auto. I did it a few months ago on my old Sync 1 stereo. Note - I do have issues with voice commands but it's not the issue of the NavTool. Apple voice commands work fine and I have been able to get Android...

    Coilovers vs Springs

    I installed a set on my 2012 a few months ago. I had a couple minor issues with the installation (I made a thread if you want to read about it). The biggest issue is that the front sway bar links they provided wouldn't fit the coilovers. The bolt was too short to pass through the opening and...

    A good spot for mounting my 2nd amendment

    Is it spaced away from the center console enough that you can get your hand in comfortably to unholster it? Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk

    Keep LED Parking Lights On

    I can't say for sure. I've never used Forscan. If this were something I was working on, I'd install a switch to activate it manually. That way you can turn it on and off as needed and it wouldn't interfere with normal driving. I.e. I installed an aftermarket stereo and backup camera in my 05...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    My wife's Explorer is in the shop from getting hit by a teenager. They gave her an Expedition Max as the rental. It won't even fit in the garage but she absolutely loves it. Stupid Enterprise. I'm not buying another SUV any time soon. I've got a kid about to turn 15 and another 18 months behind...

    Passenger puddle lamp not working even with new light

    Did you replace both puddles? You mentioned an LED. Is the driver side also LED? I assume, either the one you installed isn't compatible or you've got a short of some sort. Swap the drivers light to the passenger. If it still doesn't work, you're either going to need to do some troubleshooting...

    When is Motorcraft Necessary?

    I replaced all of the wife's spark plugs and coils with OEM Motorcraft for the 200K service on her 2017 Explorer. 2 months later, we get misfires on cylinder 3 which is a PIA to get to (it's in the back, under the intake manifold). So I pulled the plug/coil from 3 and swapped with 6 (in the...

    When is Motorcraft Necessary?

    What's the swap cost? Or are you doing it yourself? I'd say since it's not necessarily a safety feature, if the savings are substantial I might consider aftermarket. But if Motorcraft is less than twice the cost of Auto Zone, I'd get Motorcraft. Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk

    A good spot for mounting my 2nd amendment

    I didn't really specify, this is what I use for all of mine. No clips, sweat shields, etc. Just the basic holster. The material stays put wherever you place it. I.e. on your body (waist, front, small of back, or pocket), between a seat, etc. I have about a half dozen of these and I carry the...

    A good spot for mounting my 2nd amendment

    They make metal magnetic mounts that you can stick under your dash, but I keep my car pew in the glovebox in a Remora holster. I'm usually carrying another one, but if not, that Remora can be easily slid in your waistline or between the seat and center console. And they're cheap ($20-30), so...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    Right rear brake piston boot / seal replaced, new caliper pins in the right/rear, new pin boots in the rear, new rear rotors (drilled/slotted), new rear brakes (front was replaced last month), and flushed the brake fluid with synthetic DOT 3 & 4. I recently installed coilovers and new front...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    Changed my wife's oil and my RDU fluid after work. Amazon came through with the new tool.It's a game changer. It took 5 mins (4 of which was finding the right end piece and figuring out the tool) to depress the first piston. I can't believe I wasted hours last night. Picking up the rebuild kit...

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    Thanks. For the price, I'd rather have my own. Amazon is bringing it today. I installed those Powerstops 7 years ago, so it's about time to refresh them. I've got a new full set coming (I'll replace the front next time I change those brakes). I've watched some videos on rebuilding the...

    This one? https://a.co/d/emJbzuy That cube thing is [emoji90]. I'm going to see if I can return it. No amount of pressure (from me at least) will get that thing compressed. I'm doing good to keep it on while I turn it. Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk

    So what did you do to your SHO today!?

    Ok, I've got the little cube tool and I can turn it now. I get maybe a quarter turn before it slips off, so my knuckles love this tool. After many turns, it still doesn't seem to be depressing. Am I supposed to be doing something else? Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk
