- 2000 Explorer 5.0 AWD
Hello all, I haven't been around in a while.
I recently rebuild the 5.0 for the second time. This time she got lighter weight pistons, bigger intake valves with ported heads/intake, mild - aggressive cam which were the biggest on the list that was done.
Heres what it looked like going back in:
Anywho I am looking to get my 5.0 tuned in hope of gaining some more power and mpg (obviously) and didn't come across any previous threads on it. Also I want to see if my sometimes dyeing out when shifting/ not wanting to start sometimes issue can be resolved unless it is just due to big cam issues. It is like there is no idle flare up when there should be while shifting and the not starting maybe the fuel trims are just enough out of wack.
I am in the Chicagoland area and haven't found anyone solid in the area to do a dyno tune. I guess the first hurdle is the AWD being that there is not an easy way to disable it. I have seen some posts about Livernois but that was all newer models.
Thank you for the input.
