Well, I got the repair done about a week or two ago. I also replaced the caliper on that side, the rotor on that side, and the brakes on both sides in the rear. It seems like the caliper was sticking a good bit, which caused my fuel economy to go down maybe half a MPG or more? I'm far from done with this current tank, so my MPG may vary, but it's looking like the caliper replacement helped a good bit.


 
My next most obvious modification for the Explorer should be just this, a Bigger Air Dam;
 
NOT as dramatic as on this F150, but I've done this mod before, and **it works.** It's especially helpful for SUVs, Trucks, and Semi Trucks. Maybe half a MPG or 1 MPG improvement, depending on the vehicle, and if the car has a belly pan or not (it's useless if the car has a belly pan:
