    Tach not working?

    I've seen post on the forum about the tach not working. Mine has worked most of the time since I bought it in the last year. But occasionally it would not work so I would just tap on the dash to get it working. Lately I have to hit the dash harder and sometimes that doesn't work. I heard...

    What engine to replace my 98 4.0 SOHC?

    Replaced intake manifold gaskets now Explorer runs like crap.

    I bought a 98 Explorer 4x4 4.0 SOHC with 135K miles. I had to replace the fuel pump before it would run, but it ran great no rattle of the timing chain or rough idling. I kept getting a P0174 code and figured the intake gaskets needed replacing. I did that today didn't have any problems...

    I bought a 98 Explorer XLT 4x4 with 135K miles on it. Bought it for $600 on surplus auction, it was a county vehicle.
