214xxx. Runs fine overall. I try to keep up on it. I am going to replace the three original 02 sensors (no codes, preventative) and replace the original leaf springs (sag) next. I also have to do the valve covers gaskets as they are starting to weep just a bit.
My 2001 Explorer Sport has 250,000 on it. It's one of the better vehicles I have and only cost $1500. Someone just wanted to get rid of it. For that kind of money I figured if it lasted a year it paid for itself. Two years and still going strong!
I just had my Purple Barney mobile turn over 321,000 Km. Bought it for $1200.00 3 years ago. All I have had to do to keep it running smooth, was a brake job 2 years ago regular oil top up every 4 tanks of gas. Today I just changed the NGK Iridium plugs for new ones... It is running like a antelope with a lion on its tail....
I bought my '96 XLT 4.0L with 79,000 kms on it two years ago. It will pass 97,000 kms this week. Its a baby, man. Picked it up for a song from the original owners wife . . he had died a year earlier, and it was his pride and joy.
She cried as I drove off . . .
Did the brakes last week and oil/filter each 5000 kms.
Tell me dave5992012 . . . did changing the plugs make that much of a difference? On the freeway, mine's ok, but a bit sluggish around town.
210k on a 1998 XLT SOHC.
Getting ready to pull the engine and do the cam chain guides.

215k on my '97 SOHC. @214k, installed a 90k motor since my original SOHC died from chain failure. Still on the original trans, amazingly! Prefer driving the explorer to my '14 Focus i bought as a commuter!
