    Got a question for a high mileage Explorer.

    400,000k Sheesh!! 22's wouldn't effect the rear axle, maybe the diffs. but i doubt it. The 22's are going to be worth more than the truck probally, so id get a alarm or some other type of secuity device on it if you do get them.

    flywheel/crankshaft not turning

    I just had the same predictiment, all youz gotta do is pull the belt off, (just use a 1/2 socket drive on the tensioner) then turn it clockwise from the crank shaft,,, you might have 2 pull the plugs though
