Hi all. 15 minutes surfing thru this site and I found more useful tidbits than hrs spent on other DIY sites. Top-shelf job to all!

Got 96 Explorer XLT, 4.0 pushrod V-6 2 yrs ago, 220K miles on it now, and just had first reason to cuss it...rad tank blew out and head gasket blew 'tween 5 and 6. No water in oil....Repair in progress.

Got Haynes manual and know-how...looking for anything NOT so obvious to an old small-block chevy guy who's torn into his Ford V6....

Again....great site and great info!

Welcome to FTE, lots of good people here.

Hey, do me a favor and fill out the rest of your profile (User CP in the top LH corner) so we
can see where you're from, ok?

It's been forever since I've worked on a Chevy, wouldn't remember any of the not-so-obvious
differences.
