Ok, I installed my new dynomax Super Turbo muffler and 2.5" mandrel tailpipe on my 5.0 Mountaineer tonight. I took it for a test drive and it sounds real good, much deeper than stock. The problem is there is a fairly noticeable drone at 55 to 60 mph. Has anyone tried putting a resonator back...

I was at the Mercury dealer today and noticed all of the splash guards on the rack behind the counter. I thought those would look good on my Mountaineer. The factory ones are sweet the front set goes up about 15 inches on the wheel well. and are molded to conform to the body. But then he hit...

I just checked the milage from the first tank of gas through my 99 Mountaineer, 17.7 mpg and that is with about 70% highway and 30% city bone stock v8 AWD. I just insalled my KKM air intake yesterday and plan to change oil to Mobil 1 in a couple of weeks at 28,000 miles. What type of oil...

I have a couple of questions. what is a good cat back system for a 2000 explorer v8? price is a consideration so I think Borla is more than I want to spend. I also do not want it to be overly loud (the wife and kids will be riding in it). Also what size pipes are best for the v8? I know...

I am a newbe here and have already learned a lot from lurking around. I plan to buy my first Explorer in the next couple of weeks. Looking at a 99 or 2000 4door 4wd. I have a large 22 foot boat that I tow only occasionally the weight is a little less than 4000lbs on a single axle trailer. I...
