rod started knocking... cam tensioners were fixed a bazillion times...

worst purchase of my entire life...

anyhoo... just throwing this out the masses... u guys think it's a good idea to part it out?... what' do ya'll think it's worth - whole vs parted?...

(and i just bought new tires all around)... gotta love that 4.0 sohc... :(
 






mods?... anybody?...

you'll have to forgive my noobness... the x besides the engine is in overall good shape all things considered...

is parting out an explorer something that's not typically done?...

i'm just trying to get the most return from it at this point - so advice (sans wisecracks) would be greatly/humbly appreciated...

many thanks...

You can make good $$$ parting it out for sure!
Expect to be left with some parts in the end.

Also expect it to take a while to get rid of all teh big stuff.
You will also have to deal with shipping stuff to people, payments, and things of that nature.

It is not for everyone!

If you part out that 97 I might want some stuff already! haha

The transmission , rear axle, interior and stuff like that can go quickly.
Some stuff will never sell.

You can also trade it in on something else at a dealership, they will likely just fix the knock and get what they can out of it, but in order to get your financing they will take just about anything as a trade and give you good $$$ for it.
