By modern model-upgrade standards, that's a leap of several quanta. The result? Compared with the current models, the new Explorer and its Mercury Mountaineer sibling are 3.5 times as stiff in torsion despite an increase in both width and wheelbase of about two inches. Similar computing power was used to develop the body to make it as rigid as the frame to prevent vibration modes that can arise from dramatic differences in body and frame rigidity. Computer modeling was employed to design the frame and its many boxed and hydroformed crossmembers with the ultimate goal of minimizing the relative motion of key points where the body and suspension pieces bolt up. Furthermore, the rails of this new frame are fully boxed from front to rear - a much stiffer design than that of the old "C-channel" rails. This flatter frame rides about two inches lower at either end to line up with car bumpers for improved crash friendliness. The new frame is nearly flat from end to end, with no dramatic kinks or kickups to clear big live axles, thanks to Ford's upgrade to unequal-length control arms at each corner. The quantum mechanics involved in this transformation have their roots in a spanking-new chassis, which remains separate from the body but no longer bears any resemblance to that of a Ranger pickup truck. And these guys could probably tell you, via complex equations, about the quantum leap forward that the '02 Explorer represents. The quiet cabin and smooth ride would provide a pleasant environment in which to share a few laughs about the old corpuscular theory of light and Al's hairdo. Jeffrey roth.If the architects of quantum theory physics - Planck, Einstein, Bohr, de Broglie, Schrodinger, Pauli, and Heisenberg - were alive today, this septet of centenarians could all carpool down to the home for pensioner physicists in comfort in one 2002 Ford Explorer. Please investigate Ford motor company for not implementing a recall notice for this problem with their SUV's, car's and trucks. I have a copy of my bill for your records on this illegal charge. A recall was never done, and Ford motor company has been illegally passing on this charge to the consumer for years, without a recall notice. The problem I have with Ford motor company is that if the engine codes on my Ford Explorer XLT 2003 needed to be updated to Fords new engine codes a recall should be implemented, or the charge shouldn't be pass on to the consumer. 00 dollars for updating Fords new engine computer codes. They updated the engine codes in 15 minutes and charged me $128. I was told by the service department at buerge Ford that my engine codes had to be updated per Ford motor company. In July of 2008 my service engine light came on in my 2003 Ford Explorer 2003. Ford motor company is illegally charging customers for computer engine updates.
