Hi, I have a 99 Mercury Mountaineer in need of a rear differential replacement. I do understand the importance in replacing with the same gear ratio. I am pretty sure the gear ration is 3.73 I am just looking for any tips or precautions in doing this myself. Over the years I have done just...

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I replaced the spark plugs in my 99 Mountaineer 5.0L with 205,000+ miles. Believe it or not the Mounty was running just a little bit ruff at idle. I had plenty of power and smooth acceleration. Now and then, just to clear it out (I could wind it...

I am getting ready to do a tune up on my 1999 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0L. I have 200,000 miles on it and figured it is about time. I remember years back before electronic ignition when a tune up would consist of spark plugs, Points and condenser, rotor, distributor cap, sometimes wires and a...
