@pcfd20 I get the stuck shifter once and awhile, but i shut the car off and restart it seems to get it unstuck

@XMP991 There is always a "lemmon" in everything.

@pcfd20 When you press the brake, is it hard to shift. Also, when you are at a red light, does it jerk when you take your foot off the brake. if any of these problems happen to you, then it is DEFINITELY the TPS.

@XMP991 I'm not sure its a throttle positioning sensor since the light goes at once moved from reverse(the park, reverse, drive lighted part). Some times tapping on it makes the light come back on, I'm thinking lose wire some where under there causing it. About the aftermarket radiator I'm going on how my buddy explorer is doing with an aftermarket one. I still have the factory in mine at 88k now, maybe luck.

@pcfd20 The most common reason the shifter is sticking is because of a bad throttle positioning sensor. you can try and go to auto zone or advance auto parts. they should have them.

I still have an aftermarket radiator in my limited explorer and i barely drive it and the radiator is going bad. so that tells u even aftermarket radiators cant calm down the explorers' urge to waste radiators.

@PlanesTrainsAutos Take your truck to a dealer and have the trans fluid checked (only a dealer can check it, most small garages don't have a clue). I say that because you check it from under the truck with it running through a set up ford made to keep people from putting the wrong fluid in( which caused trans problems by using wrong type of fluid) That light will come on when trans fluid is low as well as other reasons.

@FreshNapp 17-18 around town, 20-21 highway set at 80mph (interstate). Its the best rig i have driven through snow/ice conditions and off road through muddy conditions. I can back down my driver on ice and stop, then drive back up it with out using 4x4 high (its auto 4x4). I love it since it gets me where i need to go in any weather conditions. I notice during summer with all 4 windows rolled down it looks sharp (maybe that's just me).

@XMP991 bought one with 30k miles and as 87k with no radiator replacements.. However the shifter sticks at random times, that the only problem its ever giving and that's not a big problem just annoying.

Every one says the truck is bad because "people say" the radiators go bad easy.. Well that's just a part, replace it with a better radiator and stop putting factory in it.. Overall i love the truck, its goes where i need it to go (in snow, in mud wherever i want to go with out problem).
