I have a transmission that was supposed to be a good tranny/possibly rebuilt that my neighbor was going to put in his Explorer. Unfortunately, he and his wife died before he got it put in. The trans sat in the open for quite a while, and got rained on quite a bit. it had a lot of water in it...

Thank you both. I plan to keep it for the rest of my life or until it is no longer worth fixing. Whichever comes first. Both vehicles are complete. The Merc is missing the front fenders and some lights, but, other than that, it is complete. After I posted this, I thought maybe put the 4.0 in my...

My '02 Sport finally gave up the ghost at 303+k miles. i really kind of like the thing and the way I have it set up, so I am looking at dropping another engine in it. I have 2 donor vehicles. One is a '97 Explorer 4 door 4.0 w/128k on it. The other is a '97 Mercury Mountaineer with the 5.0...

I am having the same issue. I know this is an old post, but I have not been able to find an answer to this question yet.

A bit late to the party, but you might check out your brake light bulbs. Don't forget the high mounted/third brake light, also. I've had that problem with my pick ups a few times. Bulb burns out, cruise don't work. '80's and '90's pick ups. May not apply to newer Fords/Mercurys.
