Hello,
Here is a 2005 Explorer in near mint condition, This has been maticulously maintained and needs nothing! Over the last year. When she needed maintanance, she got it! No Rust at all. We dont have a need for a SUV any longer.
The 2 wd is a MUCH more reliable vehicle than the 4wd as the gas mileage is much better, and less mechanical wear items to break. (this gets about 18 mpg, which is a testiment to condition of the engine) Within the last 5000 miles, we have replaced:
All 4 struts
All 4 springs
All 4 wheel bearings
Tie rods (inner and outer)
Tie rod ends
Front ball joints
Front control arms
sway bar bushings and ends
EGR valve (expensive!)
Belt tensioner
Belt idler pulley
Belt
Allignment
Mobil one oil/filter changed
This truck drives like BRAND NEW
at 100,000 miles thetransmition servos were replaced, filter, fluid, and valves replaced,
Differential fluid replaced with synthetic
Tires are all in great shape and have more than 80 percent life remaining. Brakes and hoses are all in good shape.
All of this work was done because the parts were worn, and my girlfriend drives this 40 miles each way to school. NOT because of a collision.
So whats wrong with it?
1 of the 4 tire pressure monitor sensors have a dead battery. It will need to be replaced at 77.00 installed by discount tire. The pressure monitoring STILL WORKS however. I will probably have this fixed before the sale ends.
Also there is a small dent UNDER the fender in front of the door. You wouldnt see it if you didnt know where to look.

Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.
Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.
Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum
Mon, 27 Jan 2014With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.
