    Fuel Injector Replacement

    Can anyone please provide any pictures or a good step process on how to remove fuel injectors from a 1999 Explorer 5.0L V8. I’m fairly confident in my own abilities I just want to make sure I have this down before I go and tackle this.

    2003 explorer, 4.6l v8, loose wire and broken egr tube.

    Best v8 engine replacement for 2000 explorer

    I finally found a nice 2000 Ford Explorer Limited v8 4x4 but there is a loud noise coming from the engine. So I am considering doing an engine swap with a crate engine. What is the best, most reliable, crate engine? Should I 'enhance' the engine?

    i have an exhaust leak at the manifold, im getting 10-11mpg with regular driving and im getting 3 codes for the EGR, o2 sensor and maf sensor. could my exhaust leak be causing all of this? would cutting off exhaust(after o2 sensors) at least temporarily fix my issues?

    Possibly looking a 4th Gen. What Issues Should I Be Aware Of?

    While I greatly prefer First-gen Explorers, They are getting hard to find in the area I'm looking with the equipment I want. I was just punching different years on CL and seeing what pops-up. I saw a nice Eddie Bauer V8 model. It looks really good. I specifically want Eddie Bauer package...
