Questions on a 99 Explorer...

So I just purchased a 1999 Explorer EB...only has abt 80k miles on it...

but i was wondering if there is anything i should be worried about or look at specifically?

it looks in great condition...it had a bunch of front end work done on it recently..also the rear brakes were done, almost certain of the front but other than that, it looks great....rides great and really i cant think of too much, but just wondering if there is anything i need to look out for??

thanks for the help...

check all fluids, replace necessary..all i can think of is to keep ur eye on the oil pressure. most likely it should be fine but 5.0s tend to burn oil.

Ebay Explorer

I recently bought a gorgeous '99 Explorer on Ebay, from a guy in Pa.
Car is absolutely beautiful, and NOW runs great, but imediately upon driving home to central New York, I had to have the tranny rebuilt.
I'm just giving you a "heads-up" but I don't reccomend screwing with yours. "If it aint broke, don't fix it" is DEFINITELY the way to go with tranny's.......you don't EVER want to get an older one flushed or otherwise "messed with".
GOOD LUCK! I love my Explorer Sport!
