Re: 2011 Factory Radio Replacement?

You can reuse the Sirius antenna and cable with aftermarket radios. No mods needed. Mine worked fine on a Kenwood DNX5120

Re: Overhead console

Just did my 2010 last week. Check the forums classified. I think it's 96(close) to 01 Explorer. The write ups in here and other places are good. Wiring is the biggest part of the job.

Re: 5sp. trans fluid 80w gear oil of ATF?

True, thought about that. Would drain and put ATF in.
Did a lot of reading and talking with others who have tried the Amsoil MTF before I tried it.
