The Dorman DID NOT work properly for me. The Ford unit has worked like a charm. MT

00 5.0 AWD bone stock 13 around town and 19-20 on the highway if I keep it under 70mph. MT

Four 8d nails work like a charm. MT

Don't forget that the 5.0 was available in the 'Mounties' every year through 2001. MT

You need to know whether they are 40 bit or whatever bit. The newer higher bit blanks will work with the older lower bit systems, but not the other way around. MT

Higher octane does NOT make any more power. It cools the intake charge to prevent early detonation or pinging. That is it, the end of the story. The only way to make more power is to raise the volumetric efficiency, cams, valves, compression, headers, forced induction, etc., or using a...

How will it thin the oil if run through the fuel system? MT

Try running it on fuel one grade down. If it doesn't ping you don't need the premium. All the higher octane fuel does is lower the incoming fuel temp. It DOES NOT give more power or anything else. The recommended grade is to cover their ass. There is no way to determine what grade fuel...

A lot of times it is the tensioner bearing. MT

I found my current Mounty, a 2000 V8 AWD with 68000 miles, for $3000 about four months ago. It's been a Florida vehicle it's entire life, so NO rust. My parents have a 2004 and 2005 Mounties. My dad's 04 has close to 200000 on it , and has been rock solid. The only repairs it's needed have...

I use seafoam on a regular basis in the Mounty and the bikes. It's good at cleaning the carbon buildup . What grade of fuel are you using? It sounds like you or the PO have used fuel with to high an octane rating. If it doesn't ping on regular, then anything higher will cause the...

Gotta Pic? MT

Mine had been doing the same thing for about 2 months. Then last Saturday night the gauge went up almost to hot. And like yours the heat wasn't working. After it cooled I filled the rad and the reservoir, and voila...heat. It ended up being the thermostat housing was cracked. You couldn't...

Go back and look at the springs for the 91-94 models. They have the same dimensions from bushing to center and use the same bushings, meaning they'll bolt right in. They are rated at 1250lbs and are $79.00 each which comes to $156.00 for the pair. So tell me again how much money will be saved...

Explain to me why spend around $100 for shocks would be better than spending $160 to fix it correctly? And yes, throwing a Band-Aid on it would be dicking around. And if you think that's attitude, you are very mistaken. I don't NEED help. I was looking for honest opinions within the...

I can get new springs for $200 or less. Why would I want to dick around with shocks or any other Band-Aid approach? Fix it right the first time. MT

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.generalspringkc.com/Leaf_...eer_s/1883.htm At the above site they have two different springs for the ex/mounty. One has a capacity of 877lbs, the other 1100lbs. My truck has the...

Shoot me a price on the glass hinges and the glass struts with the mounting parts. I'm in zip code 33486 Thanks.

Just the hinges. MT

Glass Hinges? If the price is right I could use the glass hinges. MT

And the people here thought it was cold yesterday with a high temp of 73. We'll see 80 today. The truck is taking the cold snap just fine. MT

There is a picture of them but no brand or part number. MT

Can you tell me which springs ypu put in the back and the size and thread of the new TT bolts? I have a 2000 Mounty and want to raise it about like yours. MT

Go out and tap kinda hard on the blower motor with a paint handle or something. Mine did the same thing a couple months ago, so I smacked it a few times and it's worked fine ever since. It's worth a try. MT

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121160112459?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 That's the one I bought about 18 months ago. Still like new. MT

I have the same truck, except it's a mounty, It does NOT have a selector switch. No AWD vehicle has a selector switch. It is NOT 4WD, it is AWD. MT

So if I cut the secondary cats off, a 2.5" pipe will slide over what's left? MT

Get yourself a 3/4" sheet of plywood and cut it to fit in the bed but extend past the tail gate. The front wheel weight will cantilever the more than enough to support the rear. What kind of bikes do you have? I have a Kawi Nomad and a 95 1500a model. MT

I hope this doesn't double post. I'm looking to order parts to play with the exhaust on my '00 Mountaineer 5.0 AWD. Does anyone know offhand what size the exhaust pipes are just in front of the secondary cats? My plan is to cut them out and run something different on back. TIA MT

Have it cut and try it. What do you have to lose? MT

You have to change the entire hub. Once the wheel is off you remove the entire brake assembly and the dust shield, then there are three bolts which hold the hub to the knuckle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr6CDVPwRaA I will guarantee you 99.9% it's the bearing. MT

It's the wheel hub bearing (I just replaced mine) Raise the front off the ground and check the play in the wheel...

Cool, Thanks MT

Mine locks and unlocks just fine. But makes a lot of noise like it is continuing to run while unlocking. Any thoughts? MT

You're correct about the IRS but the 5 speed automatic was released earlier. I had one in a 2001 Mountaineer 5.0 and never had any issues. MT
