[QUOTE="ZoNiE, post: 1019670, member: 54000"] I have a 2001 Job2 2WD and a 2009 STA AWD. Other than the transmission in the 2001 (Was a 2-3 upshift flare), the stupid thermostat housing (twice) and radiator, and recently the AC now has a leak, it has been relatively trouble free. 135K miles. Amazing for a Ford Explorer, so I have been told. The 2009: Replaced so far (Under Warranty): Front wheel bearings, front window seals (Dealer was supposed to reimburse, never saw a dime) Right cylinder head, Left cylinder exhaust studs, radiator (found during engine disassembly) throttle body (2x) and TPS (1X), ECU, Belt idler pulley (2 weeks after I bought it, Same Shitty Dealer, Johnson Ford in NY, WD-40'd it) Some plastic shit, a few other things, all before 70K. The ZF designed 6R transmission in the V8 trucks is orders of magnitude better than the 5R55E. I still love them both, the 2009 rides and drives better, and tows really well. Get the extended warranty, it will pay for itself. The motor repairs alone would have been $6K. Your mileage my vary. Batteries Included. [/QUOTE]
