I will soon be the owner of a 2001 explorer (I got a great deal from my father in law) and I have a question. I haven't went and picked it up yet so I don't really know which kind of explorer it is except that it is a 2001 4x4, with around 120,000 miles. It has been serviced pretty well (I'm guessing) they live in the city and do not tow anything. The problem is, he says it make a "roaring" sound while driving on the interstate, it doesn't make this sound while driving slower on side streets. When it first started making the roaring, he carried it to a shop (dealer or not I don't know) and they told him it needed a rear-end, and it would be extremly expensive ($$$?), so he decided to just purchase a new car and offer me and my wife a great deal on his explorer. I don't want to chance anymore damage, so I'm going to haul it home (2 hour trip). My question is do you think it may just be low of fluid?
