I have used Autolite in my Explorer in the past, but you can't go wrong with the stock plugs. I used Bosch plugs in an Aerostar I had which turned into a long ordeal and a very costly mistake.

 

.....except for the ones that blow out of the engine, or break when you try to change them

 

Well kids here it goes 2004 Lariet Screw. MILEAGE 16,550 Original miles. I just turned 75 so this truck will pass to my Granddaughter. I can't drive it much cuz I have to take
to many pain meds. hell of a truck. Biggest change in the truck was switching to Castrol Edge. Gave more low end torque and mileage went up 10%. If I drive it 65MPH
shes good for 21MPG

 

My 04 Explorer has 117K and my 06 has 75K..... I drive the 04 and my wife has the 06..... then on the weekends we take the Excursion out.....

 

I haven't seen that problem on Explorer/Mountaineer/Aviator's and this is an "Explorer/Mountaineer/Aviator" thread; not a thread for F-150's.

 

187,000 miles from '91 Xplor/Navajo before it rusted out (gas tank and all). Engine and trans. were in excellent condition. Sold it to a local fellow that fixes up these things. It's now back on the road with orig. eng/trans and drive train.

Started pulling my bass boat with it at 140K miles and never skipped a beat all over ME and NH mountains.

Replaced it with a used '02 Explorer with 41k, 6 years ago. Now have 140K hard miles on it and still runs like the day I go it.

 

Were up to 170K now on our 98 mountaineer.

 

199K on our '02 Explorer with about 2000K in general keep up and some parts I wouldn't be scared to run her another 199K.

 

237K and counting on a 2000 Explorer XLS in the high country of Colorado. Getting ready to rebuild the tranny. LET IT SNOW

 

i have a 2000 explorer xls and have 176000 on it all original parts except 2 alinators

 

Have an 05 Explorer with 89000 Miles on it, drives like a champ only had it for about a month now but never want to go back and thinking about trading in my crappy Grand Am for another Ford (Maybe another explorer or F-150) something to get me through the MN winters.

 

2000 Exploder XLT 184,961 has the SOHC death rattle and no reverse.

 

1994 explorer xlt brought it with 163,000 on it, power all around with a,sunroof to boot .all for a cool grand in cold cash.holla

 

i have a 2001 with 127500 on it. Runs great. I have only replace oil, gem module, fuel pump, trans fuild. An thats it she needs right a arm bushing and an alingment but thats it and its been a great suv for me. I have the 4.0 sohc. A solid 15 mpg city and 19 or 20 on highway. Oh I did put new shock on rear but i have pulled my tent trailer alot that weights about 2800 to 3000 load down. Not including camping equipment and 5 people in the thing.
