Dorman 555-070 expansion plug for the 1996-2001 Ford Explorer 5.0L and other vehicles closes an opening in the engine with a steel cup that expands tight into its bore.
- Steel cup-type plug, 2-1/8 in. SC, height 0.360
- Diameter runs from 2.147 in to 2.162 in
- Direct replacement that matches the original plug's fit and function on the specified vehicles
- Replaces a plug that has gone missing or failed from fatigue
Oil seeping around an engine expansion plug, or a plug that has shifted or gone missing, can mean it needs replacing. A leaking gasket, a worn seal or a cracked casting can leave oil in the same spot, so find the cause before buying.
It is listed for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, including the 1977-1997 Ford F-250 5.8L and the 1975-1996 Ford F-150 5.0L. If your vehicle is not one of these, look up its year and engine on the Buyer's Guide tab before you order.
