Thus endeth the 1999 Ford Explorer........297,746 miles.

Died on the way to the shop.

It didn't want to go............kind of like an old man who is worn out who doesn't want to go the doctor's office.


Transmission died on the way. D-O-A. Engine is still running.

I fear this is the end. So close, the heart was willing, but it just couldn't do it.......

We'll see what the mechanic says after the tow truck tows it down there, but I think we ALL know what he's going to say.....

Fare thee well, Exploder. What a fucking great truck. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

I was thinking a Viking funeral......may be able to finally "one-up" my profile pic.


Other than this would be done out of love (burning it to cinders)....that was done out of pure, unadulterated, fucking rage!

Mojo. I saw no less than 5 mid 00s Explorers for sale when we did our grocery shopping today.

That was discussed as a possible end to my SUburban too.

Bummer to have it let go so close to 300K. Making that far in any vehicle is damn impressive.

Which transmission is in there? Some of the slushboxes Ford has used are easy rebuilds. Others are a huge PITA.
