water pump went out, harmonic balancer was replaced, pcm was replaced, power steering pump recently blew up, and the right quarter window only rolls up and down when it wants to. the engine is still running good as new though.

way to many problems on my high miler but that'll happen when you tear everything apart and modify. Luckily my job is a 30 second walk from my room so i dont have to drive accept to the clubs and cruising. I miss my 5.0 explorer, I'm half tempted to buy another 5.0stang and just put an exhaust on and call it a day as a daily driver(maybe a notch or convert).... but Im gonna get a wrx for the minnesota winters when I ETS in 2008.

daily driver for suuuuree
only problem i've had with it is the connector to the brake light switch melted, causing me to have no brake lights.
i take that back. when i first got it, it would randomly not start back up after i shut it off. replaced that battery and alternator and its been fine. when i replaced the alternator though, the pulley exploded off of the shaft. oh well.

Mine's kind of in between. I drive it when the weather is good, which is about half the time. If the weather is questionable I drive the Ranger, so whatever you want to call that. Keeps the mileage lower on both of em

Mine takes me to school and back every day unless it's muddy, then I take the explorer or the pick-up. Neither of my 5.0 have EVER left me stranded, I've owned the convertible now for about a year and 2 months and the hatch for about 3 months.
