[QUOTE="2000GTSTANG, post: 15822114, member: 49495"] I rock a 99 Explorer Limited 5.0 AWD. Bought it at 135k miles and it just rolled to 191k miles on the original drivetrain. Only problems Ive had since owning it have been a bad fuel pump, noisy camshaft synchronizer (fixed with a few squirts of ATF) and passenger exhaust manifold leaking. It has been rock solid and gets it in the bad weather with the 32" Cooper Discoverer ATP tires. We've had some bad snow storms this year and this thing eats through the snow like its nothing. The AWD system is awesome, dont have to switch it back and fourth from 2wd to 4wd. Id like a real transfer case for the summer months when I dont need AWD, but Im not going to mess around and swap it just for that. Ive done all the preventive maintenance to it that my buddies parents neglected to do. Changed the original trans fluid and filter at 135k miles. New shocks all the way around, add-a-leaf in the rear to help the sagging rear leaf springs, new balljoints, upper control arms, sway bar end links, lift shackles, wheel hubs, etc. Added a nice double din radio and aftermarket sub, HID retrofit headlights, remote start. The thing really is an awesome DD. Gas mileage leaves some to be desired but having no car payment and cheap insurance makes up for it.
