    Hi all, I have a 1996 Explorer V8 XLT AWD, and it has 206,000 miles. It has had conventional oil changes all it's life, but I was wondering If switching to synthetic would be a good idea. I like the idea of longer change intervals, and better protection, but I'm worried it will start leaking...

    1997 AWD Front Hub Bolt Size and/or Part Number

    Does anybody know the size and/or part number of the 3 bolts that hold the hub on a 1997 AWD explorer/mountaineer? Mine were really rusted and I broke the head off one while changing the half axle. Don't really want to buy a new hub just to get the bolts. It appears to be 2.5" and about .5".

    Just drove home my new (old) 1997 5.0L AWD - transfer case issue?

    Just picked up my new used Explorer with 100k. My previous was a 2002 Explorer 4.0L. So the 50 mile trip home was my first experience and it feels very different than the 2002. Its also my first experience with AWD. So - no I don't think I'm paranoid but I am trying to figure out what the new...
