I've owned two different 4.0L's...one in a 1991 Ranger 4x4 and this one in the Explorer. For a V6, I love this engine. Never had an ounce of trouble with either one. Maybe I'll blame it on the (likely) heavier body on an Explorer and the fact that the Ranger was a stick shift, but the one in the Ranger felt like it had more get up and go to it.

Kathy - but isn't yours a V8....(and don't think I haven't contemplated a V8 swap...lol )

Shaun - laughs at work are hard to come by for me. Everyone's really uptight these days.

That sucks bill. In my line of work as a dispatcher for a university police department laughs are a needed thing to relieve some of the stress we get.

I thought so...2 cylinder advantage over my little V6...lol.

Shaun - building things half a world away is a whole other side of stress I've not seen in my industry. Communication is a nightmare.
