    Free 4406 manual shift, bad front output

    4406 manual shift from a 2001 f150, unknown mileage. Ran it in my mountaineer for about a year until the front output started leaking and making a chirping sound with the driveshaft installed. Otherwise shifted and worked fine. If you think you could use/fix it come get it, located in RI.

    v8 slow to warm up in cold weather

    A little background: 99 v8 with new water pump, radiator, hoses, thermostat, etc. in August. Warms up normally when the ambient temp is above ~45°F. When the temp drops below freezing it takes a very long time for the temperature to even reach the bottom of the scale. When driving at highway...

    Powdercoated Bumper by Turdle

    Awhile back (december) I posted about repainting the bumper on my 99 mounty. Like most of its age the bumper was rotting out, with chunks of paint and rust falling off. I decided to go with a new replacement bumper, and our resident powdercoat master Turdle offered to coat it to match...

    DIY Painting Bumper?

    My mountys rear bumper has developed the typical rust spots on it, meaning its not salvageable. Body shop quoted me $500 for replacement about a year ago when i first noticed it bubbling. Now its flaking off and its time to do something about it. I'm thinking of buying a new bare steel bumper...

    Clutch bleeding issues

    I've searched and tried the recommended gravity bleeding, and removing the mc, and a combination of both with no improvement. The first bit of pedal travel is still very soft but the rest feels fine. I can see the slave moving when the pedal is depressed but its not enough to shift out of...

    Roof rack or sunroof leak

    I'm getting wet spots above the rear drivers seat, just enough to make the headliner moist and leave a black stain. It also only happens where the headliner goes up after the sunroof and around that bend. Anybody else have a leak like this?

    5.0 chirp when humid/raining

    I've had my 99 mounty for a few months now and have had a chirp that seems to come whenever it has rained recently. Its got 110k on it and has been very meticulously maintained by the dealer. The sound is like when the water pump on my 4.0 went out. Could it be the water pump at 110k, or the...

    Manual trans noise solution

    Recently I decide to replace the carpet in my truck. In an effort to combat some of the noise coming from the shifter I stuffed the boot with the extra insulation material. Huge reduction in road/engine noise. Hope this helps anyone else looking to quiet down the interior.

    Squeaky front end

    Recently I have developed a squeaky front end going over speed bumps and around corners at low speeds, I can replicate the noise by pushing down on the bumper and it sounds like it might be coming from the passenger side. I replaced the radius arm bushing on that side about 6 months ago. No...

    The odometers in first gens seem to be pretty random, some have 5 digit and some have 6 digits. While I was working under the dash today I found a ford sticker in my 93 that says "Million Mile Odometer New York State Only". Just something interesting I found.

    Whats better?

    For the transmission and gas mileage? I drove the explorer today work for a change and was playing around with D and OD. Doing roughly 55-60 mph in D at ~2000 rpm or in OD at ~1500 rpm. It feels alot better in D, shifts less responds better and doesnt downshift as much, and I think the motor...
