I purchased my 2004 XLT 4.0L V6 4x4 as my "mountain car". I wish I had a V8 however it gets the job done as-is. I have been having some issues with the auto 4x4 engaging when I did not want it to so I will be doing the brown wire mod once the temp gets back to the double digits. Anyways my...

I have a 2002 ford explorer. I've had it for about 10 years now. In the last year I've moved from new Orleans to Delaware. I was driving about 70 miles a day for work and after dealing with the winter I had to replace the tires. My brakes also went bad and needed to be replaced. That was about 8...
