Thanks. The more I think about it, if you had a wrenching buddy that you can feed beers to, the job would not be nearly as difficult. I like the idea of the Torsen, I would rather have a posi than let the computer apply the brake to get traction on the other wheel. If you are considering that...

In the long run, $200 is worth it to get the work done. However I agree that they should not have doubled it.

Better safe than sorry. I agonized about ordering it wondering if i had the right part number so I completely understand.

I'm not gonna lie, I feel a newfound confidence in my Explorer, legit or not:D Even if it is only psychological, I'll take it! I feel better now about all the bruises on my body. Been on blood thinners for a few years and I always take a beating doing car work.

I take that back, I am mistaken. I just checked my receipt and it was for a MB5Z-5035-E. It was $1500 delivered from Sunrise Ford. Sorry for the bad info.

I got the -F from a thread here. Can't remember the member but he bought one and it was correct and I didn't want to screw up a non-returnable order. Not sure what if any difference there is for the PIU. I know they have to be able to sustain a 70MPH rear end collision so there may be some...

Thank you sir!

Just pulled mine off in Chitown.

You by chance have a part number for the roof rack delete?

Never complain about your food in a restaurant. I worked in a kitchen of a high end steak and seafood joint when I was young. You DO NOT want to see what happens to your food when you send it back....in some joints.

But imagine what that couple hundred miles was like. I know I have mercilessly flogged most rentals and I have had hundreds in my life. Never EVER buy a used car from a rental agency.

Totally agree with you there. Make sure it's right before you invest time and money.

I was definitely amazed at how much quieter the doors were after I did sound deadening. I followed @UNBROKEN thread on soundproofing and it made a huge difference. There are quite a few sources of noise on every panel. I have not heard any noises coming from the sun shade however I have never...

Agree. For a top of the line system they charge nicely for it is a disappointment. Sound quality is decent but volume very lacking IMO. Cranked at full and my wife doesn't even complain :LOL:

Darn and I just installed my 2.5 Thermal....

^^Thanks. There was a small mistake. When I put the wheels back on and started tightening lug nuts something was moving. Turns out I missed tightening the same bolt on both sides of the rear suspension. Going to pay Ford to go over all the bolts too when they do the alignment just to have...

I'll vouch for that :D If you want the part number let me know. There is also a thread about the part number. IIRC you want the -F part number.

Second bolt in(y) Took it for a shakedown cruise and found nothing weird happening. Alignment must be close too since it tracks pretty good. Might wait a few days to let the springs settle a little before my alignment. Definitely handles better with the upgraded rear sway bar. Oh and I LOVE...

I'll throw in my two cents here. First thing, prep is the key with any paint job. You neglect proper prep and the job looks like crap. Having said that, if you have heard positive experiences from others, give them a chance to make it right. You can always walk away before you pay them. As...

I prefer a little more mellow than not but I like all types. Having said that, I agree there really isn't anybody focusing on good sound out of a V6. While I much prefer the sound of a V8 or more there are some killer sounding V6's out there. On a side note, I fired up my explorer with the...
