    will this brush guard work?? 4 a 95 Explorer

    Keep looking on ebay, but try to get a go rhino, I got a 3333 on there used for my 01 4door, easy install and only 100 bucks and I picked up a NOS go rhino for my brothers 97 it was the older model, it was still good not as nice as the 3333 model, but for 30 bucks it was well worth it.

    Has anyone else experienced extreme oil sludge in their 5.0?

    I never went longer than 4k between changes, its hard to find 5-20 from a good brand, and the motorcraft synth blend isn't much more than conventional. How long do the guys using amsoil go between filter and total oil changes? does amsoil cary 5w20? from the caking in the valvecovers I think...

    2001-2002 explorer sports

    The 98-2000 seem to be the most popular of the sport style and that might be because in 01 they changed the looks a little and they lowered the roof so there is less room for guys 6'4" and taller like in the 2000 and earlier models.
