1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Eddition
All options except CD changer and V8.
Rebuilt 4.0 with 40k
Rebuilt Tranny (same shop that'* doing my B-villes) with 25k.

Needs tires, MAF sensor, right front fender, front bumper, carpet shampoo/vacuum, wash, and claybar followed by Mother Professional Glaze paste wax.

BTW, traded the 1990 SSE and $500 cash for this beast.

wow FOrd boy is gonna love this..

i thought you got rid of the SLESC

Wow! This is a complete 180. I think some people lost money with your new purchase.

yup, blue book'* @ over $6000

and yes, ford boy is going to pieces about now

another one comes to the dark side

Not really -my brother bought it as a repo from the local C.U. back in 2001 with 125k on it for $2G. Got the motor and trans from shops he deals with for Motorola (big shops mind you -not your run-of-th-mill mom-and-pops shops).
At the time it had had the whole interior (minus door panels, drivers seat, dash, and headliner removed.
I picked up seats (grey leather -not matching teal like it should have been, but it worked and didn't look bad), carpet and installed it for him at a cost of $200.
My brother drove it 60k (the rig now has 184k) with the current tires which he also installed at a steal of $100 for the set of 255/70/16'* from a new Ram that was damaged between the factory and the dealer.

Anyhow, he'* got about a total of $4G invested in the truck in 60K miles.

It'* a fairly nice rig, got 17.5 mpg'* on a 130 mile drive, 60% highway/40% town (nothing special, but it'* actually above the norm for a 4.0 Explorer, especially a leadweight E. B. edition).
I'm probably going to just throw a bumper, MAF sensor, tires and do the detail job on it and see if I can get $3500 out of it -on the market around here this is an old suv now, and the suspension is starting to show it'* wear.

You copied me I got a 96 Explorer 4x4 in september as my daily driver. Truck is Bullet proof and I haven't had a probelm with it yet.

Looks like you got a good rig there

instead of just selling it right off, i think you should keep it for a little bit. who knows, you just might like it

Nice Suv man.



I thought the 4.0 was a V6?

he said EXCEPT hehe and yes the 4L is a 6 and the 4.6 is the v8 unless it has the 5.0

no the v8 was the 4.6 but there was also 2 diff 6cyc that you could have got with that truck single cam and double cam. about 75% of them had the single cam but there are some with the double.
