An observation about Auto 4x4: I have an 2008 explorer with V8 and 4x4 and is normally driven in auto 4x4. I have always noticed a bit of vibration at low speed in second gear while acceleration which I attributed to the engine. Also my front tires leave a dark trail on my concrete driveway...

2008 Ford Explorer Transfer case Actually the 2008 Explorer uses the Borg Warner 4412 transfer case not the 4411 as described in the link above - they are very similar ...

Yes, I know how to work the 4x4 aspect, my concerns are about the traction control, but thanks ...

Hello all - I have an '08 Explorer XLT 4.6 4x4 which I take to the Sierras fishing on occasions where I use the 4x4 in sand, gravel and very steep, rough trails. I have noticed that when in auto or 4x4 hi mode, traction control will not function when starting from a stop. I can place a front...

I have ordered a 2008 explorer XLT v8/4x4 and would like to know what are the fluid capacities and recommended fluids for the engine and drive train - I want to change all fluids to synthetic. I have not been able to find any of this info anywhere on the internet. This is my first post. Thanks
