    Accident Caused Some Problems

    Last weekend we were coming down a mountain road (Big Bear Route 38) in the truck, my daughter wanted to get a picture of the sunset so I pulled over into one of the side of the road viewing area, I tried to slow down (probably going about 35-40mph) and I had about 10% brakes and wasn't slowing...

    I just hooked my horn back up and realized it doesnt work anymore. If I run power to the horns from the battery they work, their ground is fine, I switched a couple relays out, there is power where the relay plugs in, the fuse is good and the contact points at the steering wheel are doing their...

    Regearing Question

    So, I took my Mounty to my mechanic to diagnose a whine noise while driving (only made the sound when the accelerator pedal was push) and come to find out the rear diff is going bad so why not regear! Because the rear needs to be handled soon, for the sake of not spending a ton of money all at...

    List of SAS axles

    Hey everyone. I though I saw a while back (years?) a link/post of solid axles that work for a SAS and what donor vehicles you can find them on. Ex: pre76 broncos, shorter length d44, etc etc etc. Is there anything like that? Thanks!

    New engine install

    Hey all, I am putting a new 5.0 in my truck, ordered from RockAuto. Since the motor is out is there anything I should replace with a better version? I thought I remember reading somewhere that the oil sensor (temperature maybe) is crap and should be replaced with blah blah brand. Most of the...

    1998 Mounty 5.0 Was on the freeway the other day and all of a sudden I heard a rattling sound come from my engine, about 30 seconds latter it started to shake and loose power.

    OBA Wiring help

    First off let me say that auto wiring is far from my strong suit. I am putting together an OBA system for my truck using a storage tank where my spare use to go and a harbor freight compressor.

    Moving Evap Canister

    I want to put a compartment in the back of the mounty in the area above where the spare tire would go, not too deep but the more I can get the better, but I have a few questions. Is there any issue if I move the evap canister over towards the drivers side of the vehicle more? I will have to...

    Storage Compartment Idea

    I have an idea and i would like some input on it, I searched around but couldn't find anyone who has done this yet. Since my 33' no longer fit underneath the rear of the truck, there is an empty space. My idea was to cut a 24"x30-36" square out of the floor in the rear trunk area and make a drop...

    I'm getting ready to start ordering parts to regear the front and back. After about 7 hrs of researching what I need and where to find the best prices I think I've figured just about everything out. My first question is if I am taking the parts to the mechanic to install all I need is the...

    Has anyone tried this?

    I'm in the process of putting a new bumper on my Mounty and with it off you can see how low the radiator sits with the 3"BL. I want to raise the radiator back up. I know people say you can trim the fan shroud but that can cause not enough cool air to be on the radiator. Instead of cutting it...

    Upgraded my seat, have wiring question

    When I bought my Mountaineer it had "rice rocket" racing bucket seats in it, not comfortable to get in and out of. I replaced those with some manual cloth seats from a 1996 explorer.
