High milage explorers?

[rbrooks]

I have a 96 XLT, 316,000 miles. Transimission replaced at 286,000 miles. Other than that, it has been a great car.

 

[95Xsport]

Wow, do never stop driving it? Do you have pics of your X?

 

[fearsome]

93 Sport - 250,000 miles. Thermostat, muffler, AC compressor, and plugs were the only parts replaced until early this week. Currently trouble shooting a problem believed to be a faulty O2 sensor.

Seriously, thats an insane amount of miles for a 96.

High mileage x's

142,000 and growing at about 800 per week.
For all intents completely replaced the transfer case, balljoints, brakes, calipers, etc. a/c
The usual basically.

 

[Buckshot]

97 XLT 120,000
Not much changed due to wear...ball joints, brakes, and tune up items, oh and would have had to replace several things including the MAF sensor if the trick to cleaning it hadn't been posted on this site...
Not counting stuff from off road damage.

'92 Eddie Bauer Explorer

Well it has been in the family since birth, 179,000 miles on it and here is the list beside what happened Dec 31 2004.

Right front calaper always gave trouble Replaced
Reg tune up
at 98,000 replaced transmission
Replaced twice power sterring unit
Shocks and Regular stuff like tune up and oil changes

Now it leaks from the rear of the block water from the radiator, something blew. I do not know and I can not see. It is not from the freeze plugs from behind the fly wheel (I hope) because it is not leaking from the small oil hole on the bell housing where it hooks to the block.

I love this truck and U-Hall will not rent to me....

[WNP 2]

I have a 96 Limited.

Has been a wonderful car.

127K

Replaced an O2 sensor, DPFE sensor, Ballast, Belt tensioner, brakes twice, and transfer case output shaft seal, and changed the oil and transfer case fluid, and transmission fluid, and antifreez. Also I did a tune up at 120K.

115K is all highway miles, been around the US once, and back and forth to Nevada 3 times a year. The last 12k has been in town driving only.

I would get in this car and drive it anywhere.

rebuilt motor at 112,000
wheel bearings
MAS
IAC
auto locking hubs x 2
u-joints x 2
exhaust system at 113,000 right after motor
still trouble shooting a few minor irritations with starting....
probably the most time and $$$ consuming vehicle i have ever owned
if i could roll back time I would have kept the 01 cherokee that my x wife got in the divorce because that was a true beast and fun to drive even on long trips...
i give a sigh of relief every time my x starts for me

Sadly, I just wrote off our '98 XL thanks to a moron cutting me off into the guardrail on the highway, but it was very nice to us.
233,000 Km at time of demise.
Replaced over the 5 years:
Both CV shafts and boots at 220,000 km
Two thermostats
Battery
Alternator
One tune up at 160,000 km
One Tranny flush and fill at 170,000 km (no rebuild, and still ran like new)
Always put Sync. oil in since new
Two brake jobs
And two sets of tires.

Origional exhaust on it as well, and problem free.
Things not worth fixing:
Arm rest (designer should be shot)
Power lock on drivers side
Fuel guage
Rear wiper motor

Just waiting for the pay out from the Ins. as we already have found another '98 XLT with 140,000 km to try to replace it. Hope we have as much good luck with it.

I have a '94 4WD with 152,000. Done the clutch and slave cylinder, radius arm bushings, MAFS, O2 sensorand AC evaporater core. Runs great, never fails to start and gets 20mpg on the road. Have to burn 93 octane to shut the valve train up but other than that, it's working fine.

 

[RSL_5150]

I just bought a 97 XLT 5.0 with 177,000 miles on it. It is in awesome condition.
