2004 Ford Explorer Limited Sport Utility 4-door 4.6l 4 Wheel Drive on 2040-cars
Burlington, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for your consideration is our Explorer Limited 4x4. The reason for sale is we just purchased a new vehicle. I bought the truck in March of 2011 with 135k miles on it. It came from Ohio and already had some corrosion in the same places I have mentioned in the condition section. When I bought it, I had the following items replaced as they were worn or it was past due. Double platinum spark plugs, serpentine belt, both front wheel hub assemblies, rear ABS sensor, front lower ball joints, rear pinion seal, pressure transducer switch. At 140k, I had to replace the alternator. The OEM aluminum clad with chrome rims were peeling and looked awful to me. At 151k miles, I replaced the rims, tires and rear spring / shock assemblies. At 158k miles, the battery was repaced. All oil changes since I have owned the vehicle have been done with full synthetic oil. Interior is nice. Everything on the vehicle works, but I will list what I see as the negatives as I do not want you to have any surprises like I had when I had to purchase all the things above right away after having a safety check performed. The driver side speaker does not seem to be correct. It will come and go at times volume wise. Not sure if it is a connection at the speaker or radio, but it was not enough of a nuisance for me to pursue. When I had the rims replaced, the Ford dealer moved the air pressure switches from the old rims to the new rims. One of those must have been damaged because on most trips, the check air pressure message comes on even though the tires are at the correct pressure. It was not worth it to me to pursue a fix. There are some areas on the exterior where it looked like the paint was buffed or rubbed too hard with something, leaving some slight scuffs or color difference in the white. There are places where little chips were touched up. Being pretty picky here, but again I do not want to paint a different picture than what it is. Overall, a very nice and dependable truck for us with all the updates I put in. I did not spend the money for a porter, but the car was washed weekly and kept in my garage since the day we purchased. We were able to seat us and 5 kids with the third row seat. I have included a picture of the window sticker so you can see all the options, easier than listing them all out. Extras include the tinted bug shield and window vents. Good luck bidding! |

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
