Hello all,
I just picked up this 2003 Ford Explorer XLT. True Blue clearcoat metallic exterior. I am new to the Explorer world but not to Ford.
A few pics and details about the truck.
2003 Ford Explorer XLT
3rd Row seating
Power moonroof
116,000 miles
4.0L
Purchased from private owner for $3,900.
A few things i've noticed in the week i have owned it. 1. There seems to be an extremely small slow leak of what i believe is oil. Im not exactly sure where it is coming from. Possibly the oil pan gasket?
The previous owner had the trans rebuilt in August 2012 (with receipt)
2. I have the popular ford Rear hatch crack, below the back window. Iv been reading and it seems to be an expensive fix thats not exactly "needed"
3. The center console rattles like a mother f'er. I tightened every screw i could find and noticed rubber stops on either side of the underside of the console lid. It appears im missing 1 which maybe the problem. Question is, can i purchase a rubber stop, if so, will it just be pushed in?
Also, as i stated before, i am not new to Ford.
This is my toy. 2013 Mustang GT Deep Impact Blue
