    Is it worthy to drop a new /used engine or rebuild?

    Nice looking rig. If your intention is to keep it. I would install a new engine. Buy a long block from Ford Have the transmission rebuilt while it's out and keep on trucking..

    Dome light cover take down 2002 Explorer

    Not sure but it most likely has tabs that need to be released. Picture squeezing it to get the tabs out of their slots. I feel that if you pry on it you will break them..

    Out of everything on your list the only thing I have done is the Strut/Springs on all four corners. I installed Ranchos for the extra lift. I forget the cost but I ordered them online from rockauto. Everything on mine is original now except for the struts. 73K miles on the original plugs, hoses...

    Oil change intervals 4.0L SOHC

    I see yer point. But since I averaged less than 5K a year before it became the third car, (used for doggie trips to the Vet now), I'll stay with 5K or once a year...

    Am I nuts to consider this?

    Can't comment on the Mileage but looks a bit dirty and that usually makes me wonder about the rest of the care it's received. Does the CD changer still work?

    Driver seat base motor

    Mine won't move back and forth because the Frame is broken. Ford wont weld it, so I just got it into a good position and that's where it stays.. No help on where to get a motor other than a salvage yard or E-Bay..

    Your experience replacing the rear struts...words of wisdom?

    Pretty much followed the Video. I put it on jack stands. I don't remember pulling off the flexible shields but it was done a year ago. Also I reused everything except the struts.

    Looking to buy an explorer...

    You don't say where you are from! That will have an effect on the price. We have a 2002 Limited 4.0 that we bought new. It currently has 73,000 miles on it. It's an AZ car and looks New, with no rust on it. It is worth more than $5,000 to us.. And hopefully to anyone who would buy it..
