    Engine/trans removal AWD 97 5.0 Explorer

    Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to part-out my 97 Explorer. Is it possible to remove the engine/trans together? Any tips or tricks when doing the engine by itself and/or the combo being pulled at once? Thanks, Clint

    97 AWD 5.0 4404 transfer case issues.

    I need some advice on the 4404 transfer case issues/rebuilding. I've got a 97 Explorer 5.0 AWD with 150K miles that has been making a popping noise for about 2 months only under decent initial acceleration. (Just since winter started here in Michigan.) I finally got around to some "diag" and the...

    1997 Eddie Bauer wheel moulding and front bumper questions.

    Hello again all, vehicle found!!

    Hi again. I bought an Explorer (finally!). I had introduced myself a few weeks ago here. I didn't get the vehicle that I was originally looking for, but I'll be ok. I flew into Florida and looked at cars for 2 days, got frustrated, checked into flying back home to Michigan and trying back again...

    Michigan Newbie-wannabee Explorer owner.

    Hello all. Just joined up. I'm looking into purchasing a used Explorer to hopefully tow with occasionally, (a small pop-up), and hopefully get some decent gas mileage with. I used to work as a tech at a local Lincoln/Mercury dealer as well. I remember the recalls for the timing chain tensioners...
