Hi, my name is Jeff and I have a '99 Explorer Sport that I've owned for a number of years. But I just got it out of the shop after having a new engine put in. It has the 4.0 SOHC engine and I made the mistake of letting someone attempt to work on it that had no knowledge of that engine and didn't have the right tools to work on it. After 2 years of it sitting out in the weather and getting broken into and having the stereo stolen, I finally got it to a different shop that knew what they were doing. But they weren't able to save my original engine. The other stooge messed up the counter shaft balance from what I understand. But I finally have my sport back, with a new engine and it feels good to be able to drive it again. It may sound funny to some, but I really missed that truck. It's always been a good vehicle.
Now that I have it back, I'm going to focus on getting the (4-door) leaf springs to lift the rear end. Something I had intended to do a few years ago just before the engine went out. Oh, and a new stereo...
