Moving out! Glad to see this section still active!!!

I know they've tuned the Mustang, Focus RS and Lincoln MKC 2.3's, but can't say about the Explorer. From the gains the 2.3 has shown, a tuned one in the explorer would certainly be more exciting than a tuned NA 3.5. Their tuned NA 3.5 gained decent power throughout the RPM IIRC.

Livernois has a tune for your NA 3.5. Might give you that extra pep you're looking for.

Great job 4pointslow!!! My Livernois tuned MKS is pretty stout, but I'll be sure to stay away from you at a stoplight! lol

This is the last picture I took before I sold it just over a year ago (12/31/2015) and it had 212,000 miles on it. Contacted the new owner a few weeks ago and he said it was still running strong! Last mods I did was change to blacked out headlights with clear corners, painted the calipers red...

No, but now you're 100% 2wd. Do you plan to find and resolve the issue? Yelling is okay because I'm hard of hearing

Same for the 3rd gen: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/5th-gen-rims-on-4th-gen.363569/ I've seen a 3rd gen with 5th gen limited wheels around here and no idea what he did to make it fit. My assumption is he used wheel adapters to make it happen.

So if you drive normal and come to a stop in a normal fashion, there's no issues on takeoff? Do you have any leaks around the transmission? My first thought is you are low on transmission fluid and there is no real easy way to tell since you don't have a dipstick.

The Platinum model is pretty much fully loaded with very few options available. I personally like the seat stitching of the Platinum but most importantly, the 3.5TT EcoBoost motor. I have that motor in my Lincoln MKS and man, it moves out! So if you are stuck between the two, the motor alone...

After almost 10 years of driving my 2002 Ford Explorer Limited 4x4 V8, it was time for a change. The Explorer I did cat-back exhaust, CAI, tune, slightly lowered on 20's with 20% tint, removed the roof rack and it ran a best of 15.1 in the 1/4 mile. It was a great DD for me and did everything...

Here are my wheels that Jon did in "Super Chrome" and I thought the end result was more of a polished aluminum look (which is exactly what I wanted). Just another idea ;)

Forgot to respond to the rear end shudder. Does it happen only when a accelerating while turning, straight or both? If you have the tow package, it's a rather common problem (plus rear end whine at speed). Mine would shudder when accelerating while turning only. I replaced my rear...

I can't say for sure if it's the solenoid pack or a worn servo bore. Around the 100k mark, mine was acting up like yours and I had the transmission rebuilt because the servo bore was worn out. Put another 100k on and it was still shifting good when I sold it. I'll see if I can find another...

Yes. You should be able to rent tools from Autozone without buying parts from there.

Great job! If you haven't read through this, guy put a little time into his Ranger ;) http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?982199-Life-after-the-quot-Terminator-quot

I personally had an '02 (sold on 12/31/2015 :() that I owned for almost 10 years. I LOVED every minute of it and would recommend any year between 02-05. If the previous owner maintained it, you should be fine for the most part. Mine had 212,000 miles on it and the only thing I replaced on the...

A good set of tires and make sure it's mechanically sound. Other than that, I wouldn't waste any more money on it. Post some pictures when you can!

I would look into installing a deep sump transmission pan to hold more fluid and/or install a larger oil cooler to help keep the temps down. It's heat that causes the most damage and if you can keep the heat down, you should be good for the long haul.

When I run it in my wife's Milan, it seems more responsive. The owners manual actually says it gains 10 hp over regular 87 (from 240hp to 250hp with E85). However, it drops about 3 mpg average from what I recall.

A link to the ebay listing would help greatly...

Mountaineers are more common with AWD, but a few did come with selectable 4x4. OP - Pics aren't working? If you can paste the link of where they are on the SHO forum, I can help you paste them here.

Very happy with the kit I got from theretrofitsource.com for my wife's 2010 Milan. You may spend a few more bucks, but you get a very solid kit.

My first guess would be that you need to clean the IAC valve. I had a similar problem when mine wouldn't hold idle and died when the temps were freezing. I'd have to keep on the gas and after about 15 min or so, it'd come back to life and run normal. Do both of these and report back...
