    MUTINEER II: New Project Yet to be Named

    MUTINEER II: New Project Yet to be Named

    I don't consider myself an EXPERT anything. I learned from every time I ever turned a wrench, ESPECIALLY the projects I have done. So i am going to approach this carefully and ask questions before I start. I have been reading all the threads about this issue. The last thing I want to start is...

    Explorers Little Sister Turning Off When Shifting

    Neutral Safety Switch perhaps? that circuit is used by the Aftermarket Remote Start... could be a contact in the shift mechanism or the neutral switch itself is jacked up... hard to say without seeing how its wired up and what its actually doing. Disconnecting the remote start and still having...

    My Mountaineer (before I got ahold of it in the shop...lol) was an awesome towing rig. It was a 1998 AWD and had the 5.0L. Used it in the mountains in El Paso area and North Alabama Hills after that. it has the power, but as mentioned before the size of the trailer is the kicker. If you don't...

    4.0 issues... need help!

    75000 - 80000 is the rule I have always gone by. the 97 i just got has 153000 on it and its not making a sound either. Trouble is it sneaks up on you. as a preventative measure Id do it at least at 100000.

    2013 Explorer XLT Blues

    As a last resort autozone.com has some of the schematics on their site. Under resources I believe. It’s been a while since I’ve been in there.

    4.0 issues... need help!

    EXCELLENT. Fuel pressure regulator feeding fuel back into the vacuum system. That’s where I would start. Can wreak havoc if the vacuum lines are sucking fuel from a failed regulator/sensor

    Oil leak leads to blown motor without warning

    Having been through a warranty issue both as a customer and as a Mechanic at Ford, I can tell you that Ford will not cover this and rightly so. I agree with many of the reasons stated above, on both sides. That oil light ONLY comes on if there is a lack of oil pressure. by then its too damn...

    Yep. Same thing happened to the 96 Im building. just quit going down the road. Belonged to my best friend and we got it to the house, pulled off the front cover, and, KA-BLEWY! Plastic pieces everywhere. Bent 2 valves, and the truck has been sitting since 2016. but not much longer. Good luck...

    2013 Explorer XLT Blues

    WELCOME TO THE FORUM! I always recommend replacing them all at once, because if one goes out they are likely to nickel and dime you until you do, usually a week in between...lol. But if your code calls out a specific one do that one because they aren't that cheap, especially if they are...

    MUTINEER II: New Project Yet to be Named

    So in the end it will be the white truck as a 4WD, TT, and a spring over Axle running 33's. I have all the parts to get it done, just need the time. Eventually an SAS, but lets keep it on the ground for now... BTW: This thread has some awesome info on swapping a 2WD to a 4WD: 2WD to 4WD...

    MUTINEER II: New Project Yet to be Named

    This is the body donor for the project. 1 owner, my best friend in the world. The timing chain guides when kablewey and got it for cheap, since he knew what I was doing with it. Can’t wait to get started!

    MUTINEER II: New Project Yet to be Named

    LOL the truck is a 2 owner. Have all the original papers from the first owner all the way to last year, when he sold it to his grandson. I saw pictures of it the day he sold it... it looked great. So 8 months in the hands of the grandson were ROUGH ones. Last time he drove it he had it up to the...
