Hello everybody, 5 years ago I owned a 1992 Explorer XLT and loved it. I was the second owner and had it since 1997. I was hit by a caddy in the front end and it never ran right afterward. There was a shake in the front end while driving. After replacing just about everything you could imagine it got worse. It was my engine. Later, after I sold it, I found out that some of the internals were not the best Ford could do. I learned that the rod bearings were fragile.lol
anyways... I've been driving a ... well ... lets say its not a Ford, and I miss all the room I had in my Explorer.
So, I've been looking to get another one. Looking at all the model years and prices I've narrowed it down to the second generation. I was really wanting a V8 in it this time for the extra power. So does anybody still have a 2nd gen with a V8 and if so how many miles are on it? wondering about that cause I just found out that mexico made the 302 for Ford when they were behind in production and it was mainly for the truck line. any thoughts??
Thanks guys
Dave
