- 1998 Explorer
5.0 V8
So I have a few questions about my explorer. I've had my license for a year and love the explorer!
Anyway first question...
I own a 98, 5.0 v8 with roughly 145,000 miles on it. (just turned 20 few months ago)
anyway, When i accelerate, i notice my RPMs jump. even at a low speed
The engine revs pretty high and i can notice a sound difference. Its got a v8 so it has pretty good acceleration but i noticed a loss in that recently. It hesitates a little, almost like the engine is trying to catch up to itself during acceleration.
Here´s an example of what happens: so I pull away from my house slowly and start to speed up (only to about 20-25 mph) and my RPMs jump to around 3000-3500 but the speed stays the same.
Any ideas what this might be? I am pretty skilled and am usually pretty successful when it comes to repairs. However, i have never worked with the transmission. Should I take it to a shop?

My second question is not as severe as the first one, mostly cosmetic. But when i put my drivers side window down, it takes a while to go down, and if its cold....forget it! It doesn't wanna go down. Seems like it would be pretty easy to fix.. is it just the window motor?
