    So, how do I know if i have "Intelligent Access" aka proximity door locks?

    2015 Limited. I have Push to Start. However, my doors dont unlock when I grab the handle. My wife has a 2014 Explorer Sport and hers do. I am guessing the easy way to tell is if there is a sensor in the door handle? Or do some of these not have the sensors?

    What did you do to the expy today

    I sold one and bought one. Let my 2008 EB go, and picked up a 2015 Limited.

    Telescoping Steering Wheel Problem

    I dont know. I think I am assuming it does because the switch is a 4 way switch.

    Telescoping Steering Wheel Problem

    Just got a new (to me) 2015 Limited. Having this same issue. Up and down fine, but in and out does nothing. I missed it on the test drive. Fortunately, it is at a comfortable position, so I am not super excited to fix it, but sometime this summer I will stick my head up under there.

    What is this thingy?

    I think you are right. I passed on that one. Got a 2015 Limited instead

    What is this thingy?

    I am looking to replace my 2008 Expedition. I saw an online ad, and one thing that jumped out at me was the thing in the picture. It is only on the passenger side. This is a 2015 Platinum I am looking at. Any idea what it is?

    How much disassembly to do full timing setup? 2008

    Okay, so I did this job last week. I DID end up taking out the coolant reservoir/air box, but I think if you are just doing phasers, you can simply detach the coolant line to the reservoir and get the valve cover off that way. I of course took much more out than that because I did all the...

    How much disassembly to do full timing setup? 2008

    I want to do timing chains, guides, tensioners, phasers (locked out), and oil pump on my 2008. I dont know the providence of this truck, and its making a lot of racket. My problem is that I tried to start this project last weekend, and after nearly 3 hours, I couldnt get the driver side valve...

    My 2010 sounds like an actual diesel at idle

    Okay, so I have to ressurect this thread in hopes that @Stinky_1 sees this. I have a 2008, which is by most accounts identical under the hood to the 2010. I went to take the driver valve cover off this weekend, but it wouldnt come off. I had the harness out of the way, the bolts undone, the...

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    Oh they did tell me (and I knew anyway). They tried to tell me $60 (it was actually $37.50) per plug for extraction if they break. I got pissy about that with them simply because I expected them to "make it right" for the customer considering the spark plug design was poop. I resigned myself...

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    I did start there, although I read the TSB and I didn't find it particularly helpful. They said they followed it, but I am not surprised it didn't work. I think some of these mom and pop shops who have "adapted" the TSB to a better procedure probably have a better time with it. I just don't...

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    Okay, update. So I went down and talked with the service manager in person. You can probably guess how that went. "Gee, sorry for your luck, it sucks, but we aren't a charity" type conversation. Net of it, they offered $900 off pulling the cylinder head, which made the spark plug change a...

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    They did 4 plugs, broke 3, extracted 2. They quoted $3850 to finish the job. I talked to the service manager and he threw his service rep under the bus. Said he should never have suggested a new engine. They lowered to $2950, and they are going to try to extract again before that. They...
