02 Explorer questions
Hi guys. I'll get right to it. I bought a used 02 Exp. with 51 k on it. I have no idea what was done to it or what was not done. I already have an 02 that I have done all the prevenative stuff to. Anyway, I live in Birmingham, AL and drive it to Atlanta, GA everyday (about 250 miles for those who don't know). It is all highway miles. I have noticed that sometimes when I pull up to a stop light or red light it kind of acts like it wants to die then does fine. I'm pretty sure a new fuel filter will fix that. My question for the expert masses is, What should I do to this thing? Do I need to change the coolant, trans. fluid, rear end dope, etc.? Any suggestions, questions, or answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

I got 2 fords 91 explorer and 95 areostar. From my experience I am told to change rad coolant and thermostate every 2 years. to prevent anti-freeze turning into acid in the system. this seems to be important . other than that 60,000 change trany fluid, and rearend fluid if you want. since you dont have a history of maintanace. change spark plugs, air filter, engine oil, give a lube job, check brakes, and maybe even check for ball joint and tie rod wear. My friend has a "01 with 110,000 kms and the lower balljoints were toast allready.
