Hello and thanks for donating

The Ford Explorer was never equipped with a 4 cylinder motor as you have listed in the description.

I am not trying to be picky at all, but to ensure you get the proper procedures I will need the correct motor size. It is either a 6 cylinder , the most common, or an 8 cylinder.

Thank you.
