Is engine in 04 Explorer and Sport Trac the same?

[Red Long]

Im wanting a k&n cold air intake for my 2004 Ford Explorer xlt 4.0 but when I look for intake for my vehicle it only lists it for a 04 Explorer Sport Trac 4.0. I think they are the same in engine compartment but I would think they would list the Explorer also if they was the same. Figured someone on here would know. Thanks

Your 2004 XLT shares the same 4.0L SOHC engine, but is a different configuration. Going to refrain from making comments about "warm" air intakes that have exposed air filters, but I'm certain you'll get some feedback. GL

OK so same engine but the air intake isn't the same?

Correct. Intake hose angles are very different.

OK thank you for info.

Just take the silencer tube out of your air box, and put a drop in K&N filter in. You get the same results as a cold air intake.

^ Agree. Here are two "oil free" alternatives to the K&N 33-2207 panel that requires oil.

The K&N cold air "filter" can reduce the lifespan on your engine. K&N filters allow paritulates, dust and dirt into your engine and can score the cylinder walls

I will never run a k&n or any oiled filter again
