Greetings and Salutations!
I recently acquired a 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.0 4WD truck. It was owned by my deceased step father since it was new, then to my mother, and now to me.
Cracking a little over 193k miles, it has had the transmission rebuilt, the cluster is going to need to be repaired, and I think there is a oil leak (haven't checked it out, just saw some when I was looking at the tires)
Things to be done :
I am going to do a lot of lurking, asking a few questions, and may seem ignorant on a lot, but hoping to improve.
Thanks for help, in advance

Things to be done :
- Cluster - Odometer doesn't always run, Speedo and everything else runs fine
- Headlamps - Foggy : Want to replace them, gotta figure out if I wanna go on ebay, amazon or bite it for the OEM's
- Cornering Lamps : See above
- Trailer Harness : Was partially removed by unknown person. I think it is from the bumper to the first connect point that is missing
- Bezel around the stereo (Cigarette Lighter is dangling behind it) From what I can tell, I have to replace the entire thing if I want to put it back in
- Stereo - Power knob wont stay in to turn it off, plays fine, everything else is good
- Bluetooth - Gotta find a way to get this feature. I am on the road 1 hour a day back and forth to work, and this is a must. Not sure if I wanna replace stereo or not, it plays and has a 6CD Changer in the console
- A/C - Unknown issue, holds on pressure test, but somewhere is leaking freon, will be going to a shop for this
