1991 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer review from North America
"She's been good to me; a fine girl."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought used with high mileage and abused transmission, but good price. Rebuilt the transmission and has been fine ever since.
Water pump went out and blew the heads before I could get to a stopping place. Fixed and good now.
Replaced camber shims (4x4) & front coil springs, installed Bilstein shocks all around. Good now.
Leather seats worn badly from too many wet bathing suits and salt water. OK.
General comments?
I expected to fix her up when I bought her and she has responded well to the maintenance and attention.
I plan to get another 100,000 miles before I move up.
I wouldn't hesitate to take her anywhere at a moment's notice.
