I’m curious as to how these newer versions of the 4.0 SOHC hold up with higher mileage. I just sold my pickup since it was getting in bad shape and found a couple of 4th gens. 2 around 150k and 1 around 117k and the prices vary per truck and back in the 2nd gen days I wouldn’t be afraid to buy...

I’m a long time member here but have only owned 1st and 2nd gens and haven’t had an Explorer in a couple of years. I’m looking into buying a 3rd gen because of the room and as a daily driver instead of my gas hog of a pickup. I found a 3rd gen 5 speed that is 4WD! Which most of you know is rare...

Well I had a good run with my 1996 Explorer XLT that we had owned since 2007 but the rust had finally gotten to her....she had 126k on when bought and 213k when she was sent to Ex heaven with no transmission or engine work ever done except for regular maintenance.... With that being said a...

I have quite a few places where my fuel tank is leaking quite a bit that I haven't driven the Explorer in awhile, too much rust issues around these parts. I've seen more 1st gens with plastic tanks than metal. Will a 1st Gen 4door interchange with the 2nd Gen 4door? Wasn't sure if the fuel pump...

With the social networking site Facebook there are always funny 4X4 Meme's and pictures of lifted trucks done wrong. Share them up on this thread! (keep it fairly clean) I'll start off with this....

Well the ole Explorer, seems to be getting tired and towing just seems to be more of a struggle for it anymore than it should be. Plus I like to leave the sway bars disconnected on it for off road. I love Fords but not a big fan of the 4.6 and 5.4's that was offered in the older used F-150's...

I have a Dana44 from a 78 F-150, have the radius arms, drag link, its pretty much all still assembled except for the calipers I threw those out because I was going to tear it down and rebuild it. I no longer want it, if I ever sas it will be on a smaller scale. Price is $200.00 slightly...

Ok, I've trouble shot this myself since I know Explorer's pretty well by now. I did a transfer case swap on the 97 Explorer with a 96 Case and at first after the swap the test, it switched to hi, low and back to high. Now the truck does not even switch to high, the light on the dash does not...

Had no intentions of really buying another Explorer as I planned on getting a pickup next year but....I seen this one for sale cheaply and body in great shape so I picked it up. The owner stated that she was the second owner of it for the past 8 years and claimed she washed it and swept it every...

I'm clueless as to what is happening right now...sometimes over bumps, notice it more at slow speeds and doesn't always have to be much of a bump but I hear a thump, sounds to be coming from the front driver side. I've checked the front end over, the steering is tight, ball joints are not...

I have this D44, its been sitting for quite awhile, I scrapped the calipers cause they were junk and wanted to verify the hubs still locked. I would recommend giving it attention before ever doing anything with it but hubs do lock and spins freely. There are both radius arms, track bar, and the...

Basically I want to re title my salvaged car. From what I read it has to be entirely in stock form emissions, body, suspension and you have to take before, during and after photos. Is it really this big of a PITA? Rather retain this to PA only since the laws vary state to state. Thanks for any...

This may interest some of you... When I had the Torque on Demand t-case in my truck, I disliked having a separate switch to have 4high because sometimes it was accidentally left on resulting in a dead battery....and I wanted it to have a stock'ish look. So another solution if you like your 4auto...

Ok, so I have a D35 that the spider gears are welded and I am not putting that into the Explorer, so before I even tear into this thing, if I have an open carrier can I swap it into the diff and not have to worry about having the gears setup? Because if that's the case I'll take it to someone...

Well, finally decided, Nicole (Nikki4X4) and I are going to get hitched...We are going to get married October 8th of this year which would be our 5yr anniversary. Not going to be a traditional formal wedding exactly because that's just not us....but she's all supportive for my love for vehicles...

They are in a scrap yard somewhere Closed! :) don't want to upset anyone... Lol

I have a message center from a 97 Eddie Bauer Explorer, was going to install in my 96 but had change of plans for it. Bought from a forum member here back in Feb. or March. It was a working unit, I cannot verify as I did not have it hooked up in the truck. The rubber texture on the unit is in...

Wanted to say Merry Christmas to all of y'all out there. Have a good safe holiday, celebrate fun but safely :thumbsup: And to those of you that don't celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays to you!

Ok....so she popped the hood this morning to check the fluids and wouldn't latch. I looked at it and sprayed it with PB Blaster and the latch moves but won't click into place no matter how much pressure you put on the hood. Anyone have any experience with these or have an idea as to how to get...

I've seen quite a few threads on this matter when needing a new transfer case so figured I would make a thread for anyone needing to swap in one. This is for the 4X4 models 4.0 SOHC/4.0 OHV Borg Warner4405 1995-1996 Use the same transfer case they have the speed sensor in the transfer case...

Seen this on Craigslist this morning, its beat up but its a great deal considering what the axles and suspension setup alone are worth. http://harrisburg.craigslist.org/cto/2112728595.html
