- 1997 Explorer XLT 5.0
Ok guys I’m new to the group. I’ve gotten a lot of good info from the posts on here so I’m hoping you guys can help me out. I have a 97 xlt with the 5.0. Today on my way home from work I was getting on the freeway, got on it a little bit like anyone does getting on the freeway unless you’re a jackass lol. Next thing I know the rpms go up and it’s not moving. I pull over put it in neutral then back to drive Manage to get it to third gear then same thing. Rather then push it I stopped and had it towed home. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this before. Side note it’s always slipped since I bout it so I’ve always just kind of guided into gear with the accelerator if that makes sense.
