    Been a while.....

How is everyone liking the twin-turbo V6 ecoboost engines? I'm considering getting back into an Explorer and its a 2015 Sport AWD that has caught my eye. It...

    1997 explorer 5.0 awd

    I remember that exact scenario in mine a few years ago. That clicking all the time. Mine did end up being the front drive shaft as well.

    Engine Sputter I went on a road trip this past weekend and noticed something going on with my 2001 Limited 5.0L V8. It happens when I'm cruising along highway speeds about 70, low rpm's and when I start to go uphill the engine somewhat sputters and kind of jerks you a little bit. If I increase...

    New to the explorer family

    Welcome Ben! I started with Mustangs and added EX's too. I still have my first Mustang I ever bought....a 69 Mach One. Tomorrow is my 20 year anniversary from when I bought the car in 1990.

    Is an Explorer a truck?

    I'd have to agree with that statement. After 2001 they lost that "truck feel." I plan on keeping my 98 & 01 for a very long time.
