You'll be fine in OD. I used to pull a 10' enclosed Pace trailer daily with no issues. MT

Are you talking about the one next to the ashtray? MT

If it's 2 WD or 4 WD, jack it up and check manually. You can't do that if it's AWD. MT

You will probably need uppers also. Get Moog parts from Rock Auto. MT

Mine will do that occasionally if I run the tank extremely low or get a tank of bad gas. I'll fill up with the non-ethanol and 20 miles later it goes out. MT

They were/are a conversion company, sort of like the century conversion trucks. special paint jobs, decked out interiors, etc. These kind of things were big in the 90's. There were all kinds of companies doing up trucks and SUV's after the conversion van market went belly up. Sorry...

Do you have an impact wrench? Use some extensions and adapters to get the impact on the bottom of the bolt with a wrench on top. It will either come loose or break. Either way you win. Or cut the head with a Dremel. My truck has been a Florida truck it's whole life, so there's...

I have the same set up and am extremely satisfied with it. You didn't mention how you use yours. Do you carry a load in the back or pull a trailer occasionally? It matters. If your shocks have been on there for a while, it's likely that they're either shot or close to it. Mine...

I'm down to replacing one piece of leather on the passenger seat and finding some OEM or better replacement floor mats. The front suspension work was the worst. It's been hot down here and working under the truck was not fun. But I'm at 72216 miles, and will have a like new 14 year old...

Cool, now it works. I replaced the map light bulbs in my 00 yesterday, and what a pain in the ASS! It took about an hour to get the copper foil to stay in place while twisting the bulbs. MT

http://www.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_replace_a_window_washer_pump_on_ford_explorer I have a 1998 Explorer and this is how I did it. Drain your washer reservoir with a pump or siphon. detach the wiring connector from the pump. By the way the pump is on the lower left hand side of the reservoir...

You're missing my point. On the 3rd gen the 2wd looks like my AWD but there is no spindle or CV or anything with a nut in the center. Only the three bolts holding the hub to the knuckle. MT

If the bulbs are good and the contacts are good, check the MFS. I chased the same issue on an F150, spent hundreds at shops trying to get it fixed, and it was the MFS. MT

I know we're talking about 2nd Gen, but, the 3rd Gen front end looks almost identical to my '00 AWD. My dad's '04 front end is almost identical, and it uses the same hubs and set up whether it's 2 wheel or 4 wheel. The 3rd Gen hubs have the splines but no cv's or nuts torqued to 188ftlbs...

A buddy of mine had the same symptoms with an '03 Sport. It ended up being the MFS. MT

One that I absolutely love that I had on my 01 but had to add to this '00 is the Homelink Visor. It is plug n play. Other than that mine has everything but the sunroof. MT

I'm currently driving an '00 AWD 5.0. I used to drive an '01 2WD 5.0. The '01 with 2WD would absolutely smoke the AWD. MT

Bearing Buddies are no help if the bearings haven't been packed properly to begin with. They do not provide enough pressure to get grease into the inboard bearing. MT

I have the 1800lb 4x8 from them and it has hauled my motorcycle all over the place without incident. A lot of the bike guys get the small one and outfit it the way your describing. I haven't heard any complaining but rather they continually recommend them. They do require having the wheel...

If the hubs have china bearings, it's a crap shoot. They could last 10000 miles or 500. MT

Like Sonic said, it's the right hub. MT

Upper, the O-rings dried out and didn't seal the runners any more. If it stutters @ idle you can check by spraying some silicone on the places where the seals may be bad. If it smooths out temporarily you know that it's sucking outside air. MT

Which engine? I had a 6 in a full size F150 that did the same thing. It ended up being vacuum leaks in the intake manifold. MT

http://www.generalspringkc.com/Leaf_Springs_Ford_Explorer_Mountaineer_s/1883.htm Look here, they show all of the required info. MT

Have you changed the fuel filter? MT

I just put Rancho's up front and Monroe coil overs out back. For less than $200 my truck rides like a new one. MT

Thanks that is the info I was looking for. Since I bought all Moog parts I'll get the Moog UC and install before doing the alignment. So now I have a new outer UC for the two piece unit. Oh well, $32 isn't that much. MT

Is there a one piece that will work? I just did the lower ball joints and upper control arms on my 2000 AWD Mountaineer. The passenger side still has play where the top piece bolts in at the bushings. MT

http://www.generalspringkc.com/Leaf_Springs_Ford_Ranger_s/1879.htm The Ranger springs are a direct bolt in. Look at the 1750 lb springs. MT

http://www.generalspringkc.com/Leaf_Springs_Ford_Explorer_Mountaineer_s/1883.htm Take a look here. MT

I ordered both upper control arms and both lower ball joints from Rock Auto. The cost was $118 including shipping. And these are MOOG parts. I'm doing all 4 this weekend. That way it IS done. MT

I had the same problem finding a coolant leak on my 00 5.0 Mounty. It turned out to be the goose neck. It would only leak when the engine was hot. The metal would expand and you could see the crack. But it looked fine when cool. MT

I would go ahead and change the other side also. That way both are new, and you're good to go for many miles. MT

Check for vacuum leaks. MT

The least expensive things to try are the plug and wire. Move the wire to a different cylinder and see if the problem moves. MT

Just because it reads good that doesn't mean it is. You could have a bad cell or two. MT

Had it happen 30 years ago on a 73 Chevy pick up. While pulling a 30' camper down the freeway, the bear went out and welded itself to the spindle causing the spindle to break. The only thing holding the wheel in place was the brakes. MT

And he doesn't have to do everything at one time. Buy some of the parts and spread it out over a couple of weekends. That way it isn't so overwhelming. And maybe there is someone who lives close by who can help. MT

Good title for a ****o. MT
