Hey thanks for having me, my mom has a mercury mountaineer V8 Awd 2006. We can't afford much so I'm trying to fix this things rear differentials that keep going out. Thank you!

I have replaced the Throttle Body, fuel rail sensor, fuel pump regulator, MAF sensor, fuel filter, fuel pump relay in the fuse box, and the air filter. The engine cranks but will not start cold unless I use starting fluid. Once it starts it runs great, smooth, lots of power and no issues and I...

I have a 2006 mercury mountaineer, 4.0. I am in the process of replacing the heater control valve and noticed the coolant line that runs behind the alternator and to the thermostat is very rusty/ needs replacing. I can't find the same part in a parts diagram or on rockauto etc. Has anyone...

My windshield washer fluid pump isn't working. Figured it might be clogged, so I blew compressed air throughout. Still didn't work so I bought a new pump ($19) and installed it, but still not working. Asked my dad to listen if the pump hums when I press the switch, he says it was silent. I'm...

I have a 06 eb v8. Just wondering considering all the vvt issues these modular engines have, such as phasers, tensioners, guides, solenoids etc. How reliable are these 3v engines realistically. Mine has about 185k on it right now. Timing has never been done. No ticks or anything like that. I of...

Hi all, I have a 2006 Explorer XLT V6 AWD... Picked it up recently from a rear brake job and within a day or two of the work shifting into reverse became a hard drop, and it stopped backing up any level of incline. I can still reverse on flat ground, and everything else operates well. When...

My Explorer is 2006. I do not have the "turn dial" fan or temperature knobs on the dash. I have the up and down arrows for dual climate control. My fan is stuck on full blast. All of these forums and YouTube videos make it look so easy to locate, remove and replace the blower motor resistor. I...

I have a 2006 Explorer XLT. Was doing the standard no crank thing. Power, lights stay bright. I tightened loose negative batery post cable and it started. Then it no crank again so I am assuming its the old starter as it has 150,000 so I might as well change the starter. I look at the old...

I have to start by saying I have read many of your transmission posts in the past and they have been very helpful with a third gear issue I had about a half year ago. I adjusted the band and solved that problem. I also must tell you that you are all much more adventurous about working on...
