2008 Ford Explorer XLT
Based on the collective knowledge base here I'M asking what might need replacing on my 2008 4.0 XLT.
I like to get in front of issues, i.e., replacing the coil block prior the a cell light, replacing all the hubs once the 1st one went, as well as suspension parts as needed.
So, I'm getting ready to make a 1,400 mile track
What might I think about about replacing?
Thanks in advance
 






I would recommend doing a thorough inspection of the vehicle. Brakes, suspension, cooling system, etc. Then replace oil, do a pan drop, drain, filter replacement and refill the transmission, transfer case drain and refill, coolant flush, differential oil drain/refill if you want to get ambitious, check brake fluid and flush if needed, etc. Lastly, sign up for AAA before you leave.
