I had 2009 4.0 SOHC 4x4 but it gave me lots of issues with all kinds of sensor lights turning on and off with misfires all the time. It turned out to be a faulty PCM issue because one of the mechanics swapped it with a bad one and stole my original computer of the car, so I had to sell it only to find out this later that its PCM was stolen and replaced with the bad one.
I love how towards the end it starts to sound like a garbage truck lol those engines overheat so easily. That’s part of the reason why it doesn’t have a recirculate option for hot air; it helps reduce the heat load when coming from outside. I can only imagine how little it took in a climate that
My family's base-model 2008 w/ ZERO OPTIONS (even had 2WD - 170K miles) sounded like that. at least with ours, with that TERRIBLE 5-speed had some part in that sound. Idk what Ford did when designing it, but they didn't have it figured out. Ours never had the trans-fluid changed, because we had a family mechanic service it, and he didnt know how to change it then, but by the time he figured it out, it was too late. Last month we had scrapped it, because it (ironically) overheated, since the t-stat housing (cheap plastic part) cracked. It also shut off in the middle of I-75, because of classic Ford throttle issues, and the cats were stolen- Pretty much a rolling death trap.
@@XaviDaKringeKid dude thank you for responding I didn’t even notice. That’s crazy that you had the same exact problem with overheating and it wasn’t even a 4wd system. Those sealed transmissions deter a lot of mechanics or they’ll charge you a bunch extra because it’s a bit of a hassle, vs any other normal tranny would be a piece of cake like an oil change. Most places like jiffy lube or mavis tell me to go elsewhere when I used to ask. I noticed that on cold days (50°F or lower) it would run somewhat better especially when the hood was left open but latched while driving. I always have my heat on full blast when driving and besides putting octane boosters in it (to offset power loss due to heat) it’ll extend the driving capacity an extra 20-30 minutes. I literally could never take it on any highway because anything above 50MPH would get it overheating with that loud noise in under 10 minutes. A family friend sold it to us so when I said there was something up with the car my family acted like I was ridiculous/ overreacting, until owning the car for about a year; there’s not much you can deny or refuse to believe at some point, it literally is what it is. Mechanics say there isn’t anything wrong with it as far as they could tell, as in the transmission or the engine or any leaks or anything like that, so that was fam’s basis even though I literally owned the damn thing and knew how it should and shouldn’t have functioned. I guess it’s too late for you now but I’m almost at the bottom of it and I believe it has to do with the ECU. Like 95% sure, and then whatever extra damage the ECU malfunction inflicts on components. I read on an explorer forum that somebody had the same exact problem especially bad when going up hill, which definitely does it for mine too. He said he reset the ECU (which obviously controls the cooling system among other things) and the problem never came up again. Haven’t tried that yet, but I’m just trying to get it off my hands and get ANYTHING else. I charged my battery since I figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea considering it’s never driven for more than 30 minutes or on the highway at a consistent speed; the following morning it drove like a different car, and it wasn’t even fully charged. Not a better car, just easier to steer, less sluggish, slightly better gas mileage, less loss of pickup the longer I drove, etc… it being less sluggish means the engine doesn’t have to be worked as hard (a relatively low HP naturally aspirated 4.0l six cylinder engine at that, total furnace beyond 1/4 throttle) so it’s much more manageable to drive. Still won’t take it on the highway or dare to try and drive it like a normal car, somebody else could afford that😭
I cant even take eastern washington, nothing but rolling hills. feels like a different planet from the west side of the state. I just cant do anywhere without mountains and trees
Mahn 🤩... Keep going
😊
Were originally owner of 06 explorer in sliver with 4.0l Just hit 100,000 miles still going strong.
I have a 2009 with 226000 miles.

nothing but desert as far as the eye can see....so empty, really makes me appreciate being near the rocky mountains and forests....
👍🏼
There is nothing wrong living in the desert

Did you do an electric radiator fan conversion or is it the mechanically driven clutch fan?
Hi, do you still have to his car? And what year model is this?
I used to have this same Ford Explorer in Saudi Arabia for 7 to 8 years, but now I live in Delhi with Vitara Breeza...
Perfectly done.. 👍👍
Thank you ☺️
What is the fuel consumption
Onnu reply cheyenne enikke edukkanaanu used.... Maintenance
Excellent work ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you bro 😊
How many kilometers this one has?
Aye A Left Hand Steering
Please tell me about this car milages and expire parts cost?
Good Work 😍😘
Thank you 😊
Engine fan
How many miles on it
Is it good for fuel?
Not good not bad 14 yo 16 l /100km
with a 21.5 Gal. Tank
La estas vendiendo?
👌🏻
😊
😻❤️❤️❤️
😊
Got the same car and got that engine light to
me too, they said it was de EGR valve, i changed it and theres still the light
Adipoli 👌🏽
Thank you 😊
😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
☺️
Super daaaaa
Thank you 😊
4L but yet it's so slow, better to buy a 3.8l Pajero instead.
No
@@mounirelganiny6047 Pajero 3.8l = 250hp, 330 Nm.
This Explorer XLT =210hp and 254Nm
This ford explorer is slow as hell
@@waza3350 but pajero simply cannot match the explorers ride quality and seat comfort
Its not slow.. its faster then ur grandmas wheel chair
👌🏻
