    Just check the Ford parts book to see any differences with the SSVs.

    Front Power Seat Failure

    My six-way passenger seat in my 2010 stopped going up and down. It was frozen at the highest level. The seat has three motors controlling screws through small plastic gearboxes. None of it's intended to be serviced. A replacement "seat pedestal" is a $950 part. Common problems with these...

    Just bought a 2010 EL limited. Shudder, help.

    Make sure you use the fluid specified in the Owners Manual. 2010 usually takes Motorcraft LV fluid. Stay away from anything else.

    2007 5.4 - Starts right up, BUT(!)

    Fuel delivery problem of some sort? Put a pressure gauge on the fuel rail and watch it.

    Timing job - HELP - timing marks no longer line up?!?

    How are you making out? Watch those silly phaser solenoid terminals when you slip the valve covers back on.

    No start

    Try jumping the battery with a known good one. The failure describe sounds like low voltage. Is the belt still there? Either the battery is bad due to a failed alternator or bad cell or you have a loose wire. The starting circuit on these trucks is very basic. If it's not cranking, there's...

    Timing job questions

    I love reading and seeing detailed write-ups and I'm sure others do too. But it's a lot of work. You can be sure if you post one, it will help out countless readers.

    HELP - timing chain fell off

    Kevmobile's post is spot on. If I were doing the work myself, or if I had a good mechanic who could be trusted, I'd sink the $1,500 in parts into it, drop and clean out the pan and call it a day. And I'd only use Ford Motorcraft parts. I've done this work on an Explorer and it took about 12...

    What is this thing that fell off?

    Look at vertical exhaust pipes in the area of the motor.

    TPMS Fault Issues

    You have a bad battery in one of the units, or the replacements are simply cheap garbage. Lots of $8 replacement junk out there that last for a year.

    6R80 transmission cooler lines warning

    It can easily be repaired with hose and clamps. That's how the world does it. I put a little flare on the metal tube where I connect the hose to help secure it. As Mr. Dave says, the proper way is to replace the lines.

    Inner Tie-Rod End

    Frank, I think your problems are bigger than mine... Thanks though. The inner rod end is probably exactly "pipe wrench size".

    Timing job questions

    I did the same job on a 4.8L 2010 Explorer with 135,000 miles. My followers and cams were fine, so I did exactly what Max did: I held the cams with ViceGrips. Just mark everything well and don't wash the markings off.
