    What repairs have you done to your 3rd gen so far?

    My 2002 Explorer Sport has 180,000 km on it and it has been great to me. I had the power steering rack replaced but it turned out they replaced it for no reason as it was just a leaky fitting. Had the front right wheel bering repaced, and that is it. Had it almost since new. I change the oil...

    1999 Explorer Sport 4.0

Anyways, I got the spark plugs changed with a lot of other front end work to see if that could be the cause...

    2002 Ford Explorer Sport Repair Advice Needed

    I bought my Explorer Sport about three years ago and since then I have put on about 100,000 km. Now she has a total of 171,000 km and I have had no trouble up until about a week ago.

    When to change Timing Belt?

    Cool, thanks for the quick reply! So does this mean when the timing chain does go, the engine will go also, or is there a slight chance the chain can break or skip and not damage the engine? This timing chain thing has me a little confused. Thank again! Tommaso

    When to change Timing Belt?

    I have a 2002 Explorer Sport that has 150,000 km on it. I have been told the 4.0 litre engine in my vehicle is considered a 'non-interference engine' (or something like that?) and that if the timing belt goes the engine will self destruct. If this is true, should I get my belt changed before...

    Has anyone ever taken a stock 02-05 Explorer/Mountaineer off road?

    What would be the difference in off road performance between a regular 2002 X and a 2002 X Sport? Just curious as the later doesn't have the rear independant suspesion. Thanks in advance.
