I need to replace the engine in my 1998 Explorer XLT(V6 4.0 SOHC). I found a 2006 V6 4.0 SOHC from a Mountaineer. They have matching engine codes. Can I use this one? Are the heads and block the same? What, if anything do I have to convert over?

I've been combing the net trying to find some reliable answers to this question. I have a 98 XLT, the SOHC is on its way out. I don't care about power loss moving to an OHV, i just despise the design of the SOHC and want to put it out of the picture. SO! From what i've found is that the 4.0...

My Explorer currently has a dead V6 SOHC and it's VIN E with an automatic 5spd trans. I don't know which of the available transmissions it is though. My intent is to swap for a 5.0 from another Explorer of the same year. my question is, does anyone know if they had a universal eng/trans bolt...

Does anybody ever done such a thing? I'm wondering if the stock ECM will handle like 4 o 5 psi of boost without any mods? I live at the Andes mountains, at 6.600 feet of altitude and the atmospheric pressure here is around 9 psi, so I figure if I add 4 or 5 psi of turbo boost the...

So I'm changing my power steering pressure hose on my 98 sport explorer 4L SOHC, access to the bottom fitting is fine, plenty of room, the top fitting from the pump itself is giving my quite a bit of grief. I have taken my throttle body, belt, and pump pully off off to make space for a wrench on...

This is my mom's DD, it is a 1997 4 Door XLT 4x2 auto with the 4.0 SOHC. Day before yesterday it suddenly started running very badly and will not stay running at idle. At 1000rpm or higher, it runs well, but below that it sputters and dies. Checked DTCs and found a P0153 O2 sensor code, bank 1...

Just wondering if the price on the 00M12 and rear tensioner has gone up? Also, I am seeing some threads where people have said you need to buy the crush washers because they don't come with the 00M12 kit or the rear tensioner. Is this true? This is what I am ordering. YL2Z-9E473-AA is...

Background My Explorer is a 2001 XLT with the 4.0L SOHC motor. I purchased it in 2003 with 25k on the odometer and it has been a great truck for my wife and I. Last Thanksgiving we went out to the car, pumpkin pie in hand, to head to a friend’s house. After I started the car we heard a loud...

So after having a minor coolent leak for a couple of years now I finanly decided to track it down, it ended up being the Heater Control Valve. This morning driving into work it finally gave out (lucky me) I have the part sitting in the car im just a slacker. I'd like to clarify some things...

Aloha! I am the happy owner of a 2000 Ford Explorer with a 4.0L overhead cam V6. (I'm not sure if it's single or dual overhead cams.) My Story: I recently popped the seam in the upper tank of my radiator — and went out to purchase a new radiator from a local shop and have my mechanic...

Hi guys, 97 ex sport 4.0 sohc - driving home from work yesterday and all of a sudden a few blocks from my house i get that burning belt smell. As I attempt to pull into a parking lot, i notice my power steering is out! Long story short, popped the hood, found the belt to be completely off...

I was out today in a field in my SOHC 1997 Explorer. I was rocking to get out of a rut and was shifting from reverse to drive and slightly neutral jammed it by accident. I heard a big slam and that was it. Now the only thing in the transmission that works are the parking pawls. Wondering...

Hey everyone! I just found the site by googling "Ford Explorer." I look forward to learning a lot about the next Explorer I hope to buy, an '02-'05 XLS or XLT 2WD. I just sold my '98 XLT 2WD after using it exclusively for almost 6 years. It had been in the family for all but a year of its...
