    considering a '95 Sport with 111K miles...pros and cons???

    I say go for it. I had a 92 with 190,000 on the original engine and tranny and it still ran fine. I liked it good enough to trust the 93 I bought next with 130,000 all original. The 4.0 is a good engine- I have beat the hell out of both of my explorers and they wont die.

    electrical problem need help

    I have two problems that may or may not be related. 1. Headlights starting acting funny about 5 months ago. They would turn off by themselves, wouldnt work at all, sometimes I had to pull the witch 4 or 5 times to get them to come on, and now they dont work at all. I think it may be a loose...

    Found an X I want to buy need some opinions

    I thought that price was pretty low but I guess not. I have not even looked on kbb because I was pretty sure that was a great price. Glad to here its not as good a price as I thought though. If it goes over good with the mechanic Ill offer him 8 grand or so. Thanks for all the input.

    n2o on my X?

    Just dont be stupid with it. Dont spray all the time, only spray at WOT, and have fun but dont abuse it or you will mess up your engine. A tranny cooler and chip wouldnt hurt either.

    how bad have you been ??

    I got pulled over 5 times withen my first 6 months of driving- most were BS because the cops around here are jagoffs with nothing else to do. The worst ticket I got was a 48 in a 25 while blowing stopsign. Once I was doing about 105 in a 55 and my buddy that was following me in his 99 dakota...

    Engine Oil

    How much is amsoil and do they have thier own special filters or do you just use a regular one. I usually change my oil at 3,000 to 4,000 miles with castrol syntec blend.

    The 94' is dead.........

    My family by no means is broke but were also not rich. I did pay for my vehicle but im probably about 1 in 10 kids in my shcool who did. If your parents/grandparents give you a decent 94 ex that shouldnt make you a spoiled rich kid. I personally think the new mounty thing is a little overboard...

    explorer life

    I had a 92 with 180,000 miles that ran good enough for me to not be afraid of the 130,000 on the 93 i just bought. As long as you maintain them well they can last a very long time.

    Snap-on is probably the best bu you cant go wrong with craftmans return policy. Getting a new one on the spot is nice.

    2nd Trans probobly dead, any realistic options?

    If I paid 2500 for a rebuild that lasted 30000 miles id definately go back to the guy who built it and have a few words with him. I had a 92 with 180,000 on its first trans and it worked fine. Now I have a 93 with 130,000 and it shifts like new. Go ***** at the guy and mabye he will cut you a...
