actually, in looking at the pics i believe its an XLS, the owner says he doesnt know lol. prob still a decent deal.

Getting ready to go look at a 2005 XLT with 4.0 motor 4wd. It has approx 135k miles. Pics look good, has new tires, owner says its in pristine condition inside and out (lol). Says the only maintenance its ever needed is oil changes and no major parts have been replaced yet, which is good and...

Hello.... I currently have a 2000 5.0 EB and really like it. I bought the 5.0 package based on all the feedback on this board, saying they they were the most resistance to issues and the tranny / engine combo were "bulletproof." They also didnt have the "death rattle" that some of the V6s...

much thanks on the replies....sounds like a plan.

2000 5.0 2wd. Towing an open utlility trailer (5x8) to go pick up a riding mower and some misc lawn equipment, ladders, etc. I think the mower weighs a bit over 500lbs. So figure another couple hundred lbs, im looking at apprx 750 plus the weight of the trailer (unknown). The trip is...

i just haf the uppers and lowers done for $250 in labor. But I supplied the parts...it made a huge difference in the ride...and stopped all the squeeks.

i took my wifes car to an autozone after her battery died to make sure the alternator was charging okay. they hooked a machine up to the alternator while it was still in the car and could tell if it was charging the new battery ok.

i feel thesame way about my old boat. Bust Out Another Thousand. Sorry to hear of your troubles. I've had two 5.0 Xs now and so far so good

Recently bought a 2000 5.0 2wd. Needed tires so I put on Michelins LTX. (great tires and ride by the way). Guy said the alignement was way off and recomended i get one. I figured id test it with the new tires first... when i'm driving it doesnt seem to pull at all and drives pretty straight...

Just bought a 2000 V8 with 2wd EB that has 78k. I paid $4,100 for it, though i had to drop 500 for new tires. Great condition. So far im getting 18.5 mpg with mixed driving. I was getting 15mpg with the 1996 5.0 AWD i replaced it with.

i have a 96 5.0 AWD and tow approx a 3500lb boat. Pulls it now problem around town and yanks the boat out of the water pretty easily.

if it helps, i just bought a fairly mint 2000 Eddie Bauer with the 5.0 (2wd) for $4100 plus another $400 to ship it. It has 78k on it. It will need new tires on it sometime this year...but other than that its been well mainteined with all major stuff done and was a one owner vehicle. A lot...

it is already gone to my brother...was just trying to give you a frame of reference for pricing....But good luck in your search. Im in the process of buying my fourth explorer and have had really had good luck with them. Maintenance is key...

The 5.0 is a good option, though I think both those prices are a bit high. But I guess it dpends on where you live. Im personally getting ready to sell my 96 5.0 AWD w/ 130k and will ask less than what those are...

Looking at buying a 2000 5.0 Eddie Bauer 2wd with 78k for approx $4500. I wanted to get some feedback on two area from you guys. It is in very good condition / clean but will need tires this year at some point. First, is this a decent deal? I know the market on these is low right now...

I currently have a 1996 XLT 5.0 AWD w/136 k on the clock. I really enjoy it and it tows pretty well (3500lb boat). I have the opportunity to pick up a 2000 EB with a 5.0 with a lot less miles. Difference is that this one is 2WD. I dont necessarily need the AWD capabilities, but i wanted...

1996 5.0 w/128k Last winter I noticed a few drops of antifreeze on the ground that looked like it was originating just above the oil filter casing. It would only happen on cold days and there would be just a few drops. When it got warmer, it wasnt there anymore so I forgot about it. Now its...

Thanks for the replies, and thanks JT for the offer. I'll probably just go buy a locking cap today to see if that works. I wonder if it helps seal better anyway. At least I'm not alone with this problem...

1996 5.0 w/120k I pulled a code (cant remember which one) but it was for a vacuum leak. Anyway, in my case it was a faulty gas cap. Replaced the gas cap and all was good for about 6 months. Then same code came back...put a little oil on the gas cap rubber seal and it fixed it for a while...

Dude, that sucks.

Looks good...so did it help your gas mileage yet? I also have the 5.0 and would interested in doing something similiar...

I have a similiar leak right now on my 96 5.0...when I crawl under the there, it looks like the coolant is dripping off of the housing for the oil filter. I havent had a lot of time to look further, but I suspect mine is coming from the lower radiator hose where it connects at the block right...

I also went through a similiar situation, but I had a leak from the small hose that connects the thermostat housing to the waterpump. Kinda of a pain to change, and I couldnt actually see it leaking, but it pooled a bit on top of the water pump itself then started leaking onto the...

hi all, just wanted to post the solution to my problem... After pressure testing I found a very small hole in that elbow hose like JTSMITH said. WOuldnt have found it without the pressure test...replace the hose, no more leaks. thanks for the advice

Like dynamite said...through the wheel well works best... You can also use a jack stands to lift the front end up a bit to give you a bit more space by letting the tires hang... Good swivel sockets with swivel and extensions were helpful for me, but mines a v8.
