$1800?? I paid $200 (Canadian) at the stealership for the waterpump. Its a simple repair, lengthy, but simple.

3:43 Yeah. It’s called buying a Crown Victoria where the $40 water pump only takes 10 minutes to change and will only leak coolant outside the engine like how a normal car would.

Thank you Chief...I am about to buy a 2015 model and I will make sure to check the water pump right away!!!

Change the PTU fluid AND Coolant every 30k. Change the oil every 5k and use synthetic oil. You can also check the PH of the coolant with a ohm meter. Greater than 0.03, change coolant, but 30k is good. Keep the acidic oil and coolant away from the water pump rubber seal and it can go 200k+

It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.

I have a relative whose pump went south around 100 thousand miles. The extended warranty paid for itself. Dealer garage kept if for 2 weeks though. I told him they probably put it on the back burner rather than waste a mechanic for 16 hours and probably more. Lots of quick work with better return on their time spent.

I recognize where you recorded. Big Tunjunga wash area. People used to run off road baja bugs up that hill behind your Explorer. Was common thing to do when I was a kid growing up there until someone rolled and was killed. We used to swim in the river under that bridge.

Ford stopped making the 3.7 V-6 after 2017. The 2.3 4 cylinder Ecoboost replaced it. Another nice feature on the 3.7 is that it is port injected. No unused oil is getting dumped back into the intake like on turbos and direct injected motors. I had a 2017 Mustang with the 3.7. If I drove like a grandpa, I would get about 24 mpg around town and 34 mpg on the highway.

@@taylor315 I'm no mechanic; it's always a gamble when you buy a used vehicle. I would try and see the CarFax. A used interceptor I looked had its CarFax on line with the used car dealer selling it. Another factor is hours. Cops' cars can idle the whole shift such as construction jobs. The worse thing about the 3.7 is its internal water pump. They usually go at the 120K-150K miles range. I understand it could be a $2,000 repair. Ask the seller if you could have an independent garage inspect it. Then roll the dice if things look well-maintained.

Most accurate intro I’ve ever heard 😂😂😂

I bought a 15 FPIU. 110000 commander vehicle.. clean almost mint condition in August. Took to my mechanic that works on these vehicles daily for a SD. He said looks good except the motor mounts are broken . He said its a common issue. I had him flush the cooling system because Ford changed the type for usage. New plugs changed all the fluids. The ballastic panels were removed and the mechanics left the parts in the door panels. Runs great . Never had a SUV before.. its a keeper. Owned 12 crown Victoria s before. Still have one left.

Well, after seeing this video 5-6 times, I made the decision and got a 2016 FPIU! It’s white with black steelies. No crash bar though -_- it needs tons of TLC with some of the hardware still installed and broken. Plus all the holes from the lights on top. But other than that, at 107K it’s a good catch. Starts and drives like a dream. Thanks for the input and the heads up! Keep up the great work!

I bought a 2105 FPIU - former Michigan State Police vehicle - with the 3.5L twin turbo, near the end of January. Currently has about 117K on it (it had just over 114K on it when I bought it - I drive 86 miles or more 5 days a week). So far I've has to replace the downstream O2 sensor, upper rear control arms, and tires. The lower front control arms are starting to clunk a bit and will be replaced by fall, if not sooner. The mechanic who did the rear end told me that cops tend to drive 'em like they stole 'em. But it still RUNS decently and "takes off like a raped ape", as a friend of mine likes to say! I bought it mainly because it was CHEAP, and I desperately needed a vehicle to replace one I had wrecked a couple weeks before (got run off the road by an impatient idiot on a snowy road on my way to work). Hoping it lasts me a while...

Yeah that’s true but a FPIU is not the same as a ford explorer. It has so many internal differences, but the main thing is you cannot buy a FPIU as a civilian. They also have better suspension. Can take a impact from crash, extra wiring harnesses. So many weird computer things like not being able to open the trunk from the outside, unless a ford tech can decode it. You can buy them if they already have a title though.

I’m looking at getting at getting one of two I found. A 2013 or a 2016

I just bought one and carfax showed that the water pump was replaced/// most fail around 90,000 miles... there was one that was less mileage etc... but ... no proof of the water pump exchange... vehicle was serviced by a ford dealer... which in most cases is the best option and why they let them go... the warranty runs out. I am literally in love with this car and would sleep in it but my GF would get mad lol

So Wich is better FPIU or Tahoe Ppv?

Took my 2016 explorer sport blacked out from Texas to Mississippi and them Louisiana county mounties are wild lol. I passed a tractor trailer going 75 in a 70 and they pulled out with a Tahoe. They were goin 95mph passed me when I got in front of the semi and almost wrecked into traffic ahead only to pull over into the median turnaround and chill with their lights on.
