Hi Guys Quick Update I finally managed to sell my BMW for what i wanted and i went to pick up the 2000 Explorer last night. Problem is when i got there the thing wouldn't run properly at all!! It was miss firing badly Last time i saw it about 10 days ago i guess, i was running nice...

HI guys sorry for lack of responses I haven't been able to work out a deal with the dealer yet as he wont give me quite what i want for my BMW. Not really surprised. I am still trying to sell my BM privately so as soon as its sold i will be down there to pick it up. DjDom As far as i can tell...

Thanks guys I think im going to pull the trigger on it tomorrow. There are a couple things I need to sirt with the dealer. Im trading in my 2007 5530xi Sport Wagon for this truck plus a load of cash!! Im sure we can work out a deal Will let you know how it goes. Cheers all

OK i just found out that if it has the manual trans then its going to be the OHV engine can someone confirm that for me? If it were an Auto trans then it could have been either the OHV or the SOHC Should i really be as worried about the timing chains as i am?

Did i post this question in the wrong place? I thought i would get more feedback. so from further research i understand that the 2000 Explorers were available with either the SOHC engine or the OHV engine. I am assuming that the one to have is the SOHC engine is that correct? My...

Hi Guys This is my first post here so please be gentle! I am considering buying a lifted 2000 Explorer sport and would like you opinions. I am new to all things Ford and new to old SUV's with high mileage and new to lifted trucks in General. In fact i only just moved to the USA 6...
