Ford Explorer Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV with body-on-frame construction. Available with V6 or V8 power, the Explorer competes against the TrailBlazer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, and Pathfinder. Explorer was completely redesigned in 2006 and we were pleased with the new steering, new suspension, and new brakes, all of which were vastly improved over the previous-generation.

Thanx for the replies the only other question i have is the explorer has the control trac as well does that mean i have a rear locking diff? Also are u sure it will have full power to the rear tires with the brown wire mod i dont want there to be slipping in the transfer case and not have much power to the rears.

Yeah if the fuses are good check relay, and tap on t-case/ and t-case shift motor, and I wouldnt worry about the mod, it's easy to do, did it on my 96 to have the full-time 4X4 option wish I would have gone with an explorer with the auto/4hi/4lo option instead of 2wd/4auto/4low option, but it's still cool I just run with the 4auto all the time. Aint sure if there is anyother way for it to work like the 97 and up that has the auto/4hi/4low option. The brown-wire-mod I had to do I had to do more work with than what you'll have to, yours is pretty much just snipping a wire and extending the wire to the toggle switch.

Just a quick question when im sitting at a stop sign and the road is wet and i nail it to the floor the tires seem like they dont spin at all is control trac responsible for that? Because other times when i spin the tires on ice etc.. it clunks in to auto 4wd and u can feel it does the auto 4wd ever engage without you knowing it at all because im almost sure at a stop sign if the road is wet and u nail it the back tires would start spinning if the explorer were to be in 2wd???


Thanx.
