hey guys. just stumbled upon this while looking around the ford site this morning......basically they have found that 06 07 explorers mountaineers & sport tracs with the 4.0 are having issues with leaks from the radiator. so if you happen to be under the hood check your coolant and if youre experiencing this and you are still under warranty get on down to the dealership and get fixed up.
