- 2004 Ford Explorer
Hey guys, this is kind of a rookie thread (and a long one) but figured there's no better place to ask. I bought this 2004 Ford Explorer xls sport 6 cylinder 4.0 with the flex fuel option. I bought it 3 years ago at 45,000 miles and now currently has 66,000 miles. I paid 10 grand for it in 2012, I should have done more research because I know I overpaid but I loved how low miles it had. Since I overpaid I decided I'm not going to sell this car, I'm going to try to get 175,000 miles out of it, plus I love it. I have a couple weeks off work before I start my new job where I'll be commuting 120 miles everyday. I wanted your guys opinions on everything that you think should be Check or replaced at 66,000 miles. So far this last month I've replaced brakes,4 rotors, front upper controls arms, lower ball joints, sway bar bushings and links, new tires, oil change, transmission flush (had this done elsewhere and not positive they did filter), appliqué panel, coolant flush, pinion seal, front and rear differential flush, rear differential leaking seal, front differential gasket, new passenger Cat, new spark plugs (didn't do wires), battery, fuel filter, blend door actuator, brake fluid flush, power steering flush, driver side passenger window regulator. Is there anything I'm missing to make this thing go another 100,000 miles guys? Thanks in advance
