Oh yeah it definitely does, no stability control either it's an 04 so it gets sketchy especially in the rain.

I believe you haha, I've gone through over a dozen sets of tires on the rear, I wonder if i should post some of the videos ha!

Thank you! 🤝

Lol really? To this day i have the same one in this video still on my suv!

@@michaelmartinez4515 Then again, maybe it’s not made to stand up to this Texas heat!!

@@essence7917 haha, i live in Texas, DFW area.

Me too!!

100% down to the air filter

I do plan to add trick flow heads and a cam though, i need a transmission rebuild first haha!

@@michaelmartinez4515 did you do it yet cause I have a same truck now I just saw a guy blow out his front differential

Those ford 5 speeds shifted nice those first 2 gears! Agreed

Hey how's it going, you've got to try to at least make a video showing your issue, the first place to start is with fuses and relays, but there's really no way I can help you if there's no way you can show your problem.

The engine overheated about 3 months ago we changed it And it was running good until like 2 weeks ago, it’s been leaking all the anti freeze and it was a pipe that was ripped and we had to fix it and then today the engine popped when I was in the Highway, one of the Pistons fell out

And when I tried to step on it it would struggle to go past 40

Idk what to do with it anymore bro

@@iflex2539dang man thats crazy! Are you sure it was a piston that shot out? The 4.6 v8 is a very strong engine and they're not known to blow like that, did you make sure it had oil? Sorry to hear man!

You guessed it!

@@michaelmartinez4515 yea cuz I got an awd it doesn't move that dam fast

@@LiilTyweezy haha i should upload the burnouts i do in this thing lol, if i shift from 1st to 2nd and so on manually i can probably shave a second off the 0-60.

@@michaelmartinez4515 you still got yours

@@LiilTyweezy oh yea lol, almost 170k on it, still roasting tires, i love when a 4 door 5.3 tries to race, i walk all over them 😂

Yessir, removed the muffler under the driver side and put a pipe right in its place.

@@michaelmartinez4515 so does this only have 2 cats

@@michaelmartinez4515 also was it a 4 inch to 2 1/2 inch pipe?

Oh yeah you did take a cat out there’s one right out of the y pipe

@@mercury0214 it still has 2 cats, goes from stock 2.25 to 2.5.

It makes it louder.

I've done more runs and gotten quicker times around 6.5 - 7 seconds.

Incredible acceleration. I have a 2005 Explorer V6 4.0L and I do 8.8 seconds from 0-60 mph

@@ivanramos2460 Cool, i had a 4.0 and warped the heads, when i got the 4.6 it was a big difference in torque, it pulls better in the higher rpm's.

I know, the V8 will always have much better torque but the V6 is still a good engine.

@@ivanramos2460 it was okay, but it didn't have enough power especially if i was loaded with friends and cargo, even then the 4.6 seems sluggish at times.

If it was properly maintained you could have that thing till 400,000 before the motor has issues. Make sure to change your trans fluid as that’s really the weak point of these

@@whydoihave6neutrals772 okay thx!

Yes sir, it is a 2v!

@@michaelmartinez4515 They put that motor in everything gotta love it goes for ever and ever well taken care of and they have always sounded so good too its a straight up 99 to 04 mustang gt motor as well just good stuff thanks for sharing

@@weeb121 She runs alright 😉 thanks for watching!

@@michaelmartinez4515 welcome

Same motor but different block. The Explorer uses an aluminum block and the Vic uses a cast iron.

Absolutely, they just purr like a kitten! Hopefully yours is running by now!

michael martinez yup got her on the road 2 and a half weeks ago shifts like a champ! I’m surprised at how much low end torque my old transmission robbed me of

Sounds great and healthy though

Lol too late man! Its already slipping from 2nd to 3rd and my converter is shuttering on the highway, but shes been running good lately, got 161k on here right now!

She loves to shred the rear tires too, they're homemade slicks as we speak haha, i got to change them very soon!

michael martinez YOOO MAN STOP DRIVING NOW

michael martin THAT HAPPENED TO ME IT COULD OF BEEN SAVED!!!! Check the fluid level and if that’s good then the soleniod or 2-3 band overdrive driving it will ruin any chance of a cheap fix trust me I just dropped $3000 on a rebuilt unit to put in myself not fun

Well thats the thing, it doesn't have a exaust, i removed the muffler, cats are still attached, just added this valve to quiet her up around quiet area's.

Haha right, you don't got to tell me, it drives me damn near insane!

michael martinez is there a tune on the gearbox to fix that?

@@david007007007 unfortunately not in the vehicle no, a shift kit could be installed to help it shift more firm but as in shift speed line pressure has to be dramatically increased and im sure upgrades will be needed. Most likely a aftermarket transmission would have to be installed, btw sorry if i confuse you, in the US we call gearboxes transmissions Lol.

david007007007 they just start to shift slower in older units due to the bs “lifetime” fluid just put a rebuilt in mine about a month ago and it shifts remarkably fast and gained so much down low grunt back it lost so much power it almost felt like the v6 model

@@whydoihave6neutrals772 the engine is great but those transmissions in those years are garbage.

But you watched haha! Got that view! ;)

Made them.

That’s awesome

@@coydog7902 thank you! 😎

Not to be a know-it-all, but the only reason why these engine to max out around 5K RPM is because of the heads, trust me if I had some trick flow heads it would rev to 6K with ease and make power

michael martinez To make it efficient to rev to 6,000 you would need to update more than your heads. Airflow ignition and fuel. Heads would help but wouldn’t do much without the rest. These engine weren’t built to max at 6,000 they were built to max at 5k for a reason. The stock airflow and fuel system cannot deliver enough air or fuel for it generate more power past 5,000

Actually 5,000 was over shooting it on my part they top out at torque at 4,400 and horsepower at 4,700. Even a new car person should know that revving higher isn’t always more power.

Also thank you for doing the world a service by keeping one of these on the road I have an 02 mountaineer that’s up to about 458 horsepower now

well you don't always want your shift point where peak power is made, now stock yes they run out of wind after around 5000-5500rpm, but they are still making close to 200hp at 6k rpm, so get a tune, make it breathe better, and it can actually have beans up there. sometimes you want a car to shift at a higher rpm so it sets it back at around the peak power band instead of before it causing an even worse affect than making it rev a little higher. these also had the PI heads like the 99-04 mustangs so they're just restricted and have a different tune in Explorer form. a 99-04 mustang can rev to 6000 fairly easily and with bolt ons and a tune and even cams have guts up to around 6500-6700rpm. it all just depends what you want your engine to do and what car its in, what tranny you have, gearing, etc.

Chill man "Itsjusta6" 😂

Max Yuhas yes haha still has both cats.

Yes, the 4.6 was also in the mustang gt, this one is a aluminum block if im not mistaken, crown vics has cast iron, so they can take tons of abuse, nice stout motor.

michael martinez I’m 15 rn and I get my license in June and this is going to be my first car cause it’s our family’s extra car. Is it a fun car and is it meant to be driven fast in your opinion?

Charles Jost i have a few video's of my exaust, after i put the valve in it, was tons of fun to drive especially dropping it down to 1st gear get it up to about 5k rpm and letting off i got ultimate pop corn, its very vocal and loves to pop! As for driving fast I've taking it to 108mph before (hit the factory limiter) and it was stable but its a 5,000lbs suv, so to be honest not ment for speed but i hot rod mine around all the time, it feels a little boaty. Not a sports car by any means lol! Im sure if you lower the suspension install aftermarket shocks that are stiffer will make it handle wayyyy better.

michael martinez thanks man for the advice and information about this. I’ll subscribe to you so I can keep up to date with your modifications because they are really sick man. Thanks once again

Charles Jost not a problem buddy, im glad the younger generation is still interested in cars instead of video games, you ever have a problem with that explorer just message me and im sure we can get it sorted out, good luck with your license, always remember with every car comes great responsibility, stay safe and be courtous to others on the road!

lowridingtrucks88 my man i was 15 @ the time lol! Trust me im a little better now 😆

AMV0429 LOL, man let me tell ya, i get 300 miles a tank on the highway but city i can only get 150 -200 miles, haha she drinks gas.

@@michaelmartinez4515 I just bought a super mint one with 64000 miles, 104000km for me in Canada. I'm learning real quick how thirsty she is. It's a wicked ride tho

AMV0429 oh yea man, just stay on top of the timing chains and when you do replace them replace the guids, chains and oil tensioners. Also stay on top of the transmission fluid maintenance and you should have no problems with the truck, if you do feel free to hit me up on here im alway working on my 04, 152,000 miles stong and no major issues.

AMV0429 you should also check out my other videos on my channel, i got a cutoff installed in my exaust, if you really want to hear this beast without a muffler watch the vid! 😉

@@michaelmartinez4515 sounds good. Thanks man

Mitsuo O Sorry it was one of my first ever videos! I hope im alot better now LOL!

Mike Marsh No, but after this video i would recommend it, reason is the way the 4.6 has the ignition coils arranged it introduces water inside on the spark plug causing it to misfire, i had to suck all the water out with a vaccume and straw attached to the end, so i would recommend not to drown the coils with water and try to cover them with a plastic trash bag and you'll be golden.

@@michaelmartinez4515 sounds good. That helps a lot. I plan on doing my 03 later today. Great vid and thanks for the response!

Mike Marsh not a problem! Good luck with your explorer! 😁

@@michaelmartinez4515 I got it dirt cheap so hopefully I can get it together for the winter. My other car is RWD and terrible in the snow.

Mike Marsh i know your pain lol! Mine is the rwd 4.6 v8 man it get's a little sketchy when its wet out haha! These truck are not that hard to fix up, its pretty simple, only issuse they really have are timing chains and the 2nd gear servo in the trans that causes 2-3rd slip, mines been really good to me so i hope yours treats you good.
