Yes I know there's an exhaust thread but it goes way deeper than need. All I want to know is what is the best sounding bolt on exhaust for my 2000 explorer 5.0 AWD. I know I'm reaching but the sound of an X Pipe Mustang GT/Cobra is what I'm looking for. I don't have time for fabrication. It's...

I have a 2000 5.0 with 124k on it and the suspension feels like crap, it's tired. What is my best option for replacement? Best option if I lifted? (I only want 1-2inches or so)? Best option for stock height with new 30-31 inch tires?

I have a 2000 5.0 with 119,300 on it. My last oil change was 112,000 and I used GTX synthetic blend with a quart of Marvels mystery oil. I checked my dip stick before start up this morning and I was half way between the bottom of the dip stick and the first hole or MIN line. I have been so busy...

I went to get my 2000 5.0 inspected and basically said it wasn't going to pass and to not waste my money. He said it has an exhaust leak you can hear it. He didn't look further but I'm going to say its safe to assume my exhaust manifold needs to be replaced. What's the best way to go about...

I bought a well maintained 2000 5.0 w 112k a couple months ago. When I put my foot on tue gas I get a ticking under load that increases with the rpms. Idle is good, power is good... everything seems good aside from the annoying noise I don't get at idle. I triwd marvel mystery oil and 3k later...

So I started my first oil change on the green bean and the drain plug was impossible to get off... It started to spin and spin, yes I was going the correct direction. Finally I said wtf and did one turn the other way to see if it'd get tighter... Yep, tighter and what the hell oil leaking. I...

I was just curious to see if there was a better tire size than 31x10.5 for a 5.0 X that wasn't going to be lifted? Off road use? Of course but I don't want to lift it and figured 31x10.5 might be too cramped for a liftless Explorer? I could be wrong. Can someone clear this up?

I just bought a 2000 5.0 with 112k on it from a single owner and it's been well maintained it seems. Just to be sure I want to have my shop go through it so I know all about it. What should I have them look for specifically? Any trouble spots in particular?

I just bought a 2000 XLT 5.0 with 112,000 miles on it and wanted to know what the best exhaust for me would be in your opinion and the best place to get it, also how much I should expect to pay. Here are the attributes I'd like: -Sound is most important, the closest I can get to an x pipe...
