    Misc First gen stuff

    Need this stuff gone, no use for it and I'd like to go to someone on the forums. Might have more buried in the garage but for now this is what I have explorer-wise. All I'm going to ask is shipping (although if you DO want to pay for any of these I won't say no). Factory sub enclosure Grey...

    Buying higher mileage 4th gens

    Looking at buying a 4th gen/2nd gen ST, however the majority of the ones in my price range have mileage that puts them out of even the power train warranty (70k+). Anyone have high (or really high) mileage on theirs? The Mountaineer has 83k on it now and there have not been any real problems...

    Mountaineer front diff/axle issue

    Slight problem with the 06 Mounty (AWD V8) (80k+ miles). Not sure how to describe it other than saying it feels like recently sometimes something in the front end is either grinding or binding and I can feel it through the gas pedal. No other way to know anything is going on as you don't hear...

    Bigger alternator

    Bought a 220 amp alternator and it came with a wiring upgrade kit. And it has a fuse block and fuse with it so do i just replace the wiring coming off the back of the alterntor with the new one and put the fuse in the middle of it? (Which would lead to the solenoid on the fender?)
