So, I've been an Explorer owner for a year and a half now, since I got my beginners permit last year. I had a 99 V8, had a mechanical failure in the steering or brakes, rolled it, lived through it with just bruises, been hunting 2 1/2 weeks now, and I came across a 01 Eddie Bauer with the SOHC, got it for $1100, but not without some issues. One is, it's leaking coolant, and I don't have any idea of where because it's not hitting the dirt anywhere, or wetting the steering. The other is, I have a major vacuum leak, it throws lean codes on both sides, and you can tell it's not running 100% because it just doesn't have all the high end it should. I'll have photos later, and become an Elite Explorer, but I figured I'd post the questions now because I start working on it tomorrow.
