How many miles on your 2ND GEN EX?

[ATiredExplorer]

97 Explorer with 418K a little rust is all.

WOW. You've done about 4 times as much driving as me and yours is just a year older than mine!

Just hit 91k on mine

 

[rickb928]

Wow. Just wow.

Wow. I'm gonna take about 2 1/2 years to match that...

Do you have the cam sync squeak?

97 Explorer with 418K a little rust is all.

wait a second... 418,000 km is 259,733.158 miles still significant but lets be realistic

I bet no one noticed he was canadian

Rolled over 63,500 last night on my way back home from Long Beach California. No its its not as high as some people here but given my explorer is only 4 years old i feel as though its up there.

63k and i still enjoy using and abusing

my 92 ex got only 65k and running great!

I have taken note that some of us here have very low mileage, and some have identical mileage to me however their Explorer's are much older than mine.

Mileage Update

I just finished dropping my kids off at the airport and broke 300,000 miles! As it sits, I now have 300050 miles. The few things that are not original are the necassary repairs i.e., brakes, shocks, etc.

 

[ash98fordexp]

mine is a 98 x xlt sohc and its got 192,628 and running strong beside a little chain noise.. not sure if its been repaired or not but runs like a beast. love the 4-low in the winter

Yup, mine now is over 316K, and the new problem is stumbling and stalling occaisonally after a hot start. I suspect it's more with the DPFE I've avoided replacing. Just took off the Sumitomo ATs, they wore every other block on the inside rows a full 1/4" deeper than the others. Shop said it was both a manufacturing issue and the wrong tire for the vehicle, and I gladly paid the mount&balance for simple set of Coopers with a highway tread. Other than that, the sunroof rattles when closed, and it looks like a typical scissor mech, so I'll get up in there and mess with it. Phoenix has hit 112º, and the temp gauge stayed right where it should, so I am VERY happy. The new heater diverter valve and radiator cap are workin! Nothing worse than blowing the heads just cause you can't keep water in it... Now to find the ideal commuter replacement. '91 CRX SI?

My 1997 XLT 4WD has 102,000

[gm558]

96 Sport 259,256 and running strong! (w/lots of tlc)

 

[eequalsmc2]

249,190 miles on my '98 Sport !
Cylinders 1, 2, and 4 suddenly began misfiring (after topping off with 3 gallons of bad gas perhaps?). I am searching forum today for answers and have found several suggestions already.
Radio display hasn't worked in over 2 years, but I know why and may choose to send away the guilty radio circuit board (display daughterboard) for repair / replacement.
Laid my Explorer Sport over gently on its right side a year ago when I lost the back end and spun it 180 degrees only to be stopped when my right wheels contacted the esplanade in the middle of the road. Engine was still running when I unbuckled and crawled out the sunroof. Reached in and turned off the key, then "rocked it" three times with two guys who stopped to help until we flipped my Sport back upright. $1,500 for new rear axle, new right mirror, junk yard replacement wheel and right door, plus Maaco bending right running board back straight and repainting entire right side of car. The rest of the car (interior, etc) was just in too nice of a shape to get rid of it! I'm hoping I can execute a repair today that will get it running smoothly again before work tomorrow.
Cheers!

 

[wicsmith1997]

220900 miles on my 1997. Have only owned since April 2010.

Runs good, air is going out believe its black death after seeing orifice tube earlier this summer. Passenger back door lock actuator failing to unlock door. Passenger front seat motor that moves seat forward and back not working. EGR Valve Sensor needs replacing. Just needs a little TLC.
