Thanks for the responses! I was just under my Mounty all evening tonight replacing brakes (pads and rotors) at all four corners. This was much more challenging than I would have hoped. That would not have been possible without my large three-jaw puller and my trusty BFH. While I was under...

Howdy all! I've been reading up on shackles and AAL's for a while now and I can't seem to make up my mind. I want to get the rear end of my 1997 5.0 AWD Mounty upright, not really lifted, just so it's not sagging. I read that someone installed the AAL's and has the Ranch RS9000 adjustable...

If it's the AWD model the noise could be coming from the transfer case. Mine was making noise after it was warmed up when moving slowly to a stop or from a stop. A good example was going through a drive-through. Right next to a wall the noise would bounce back up and be quite loud. I would...

I haven't changed the front axel fluid but I have changed the transfer case fluid. That is really easy. I had to remove a brace plate that attached with four bolts and nut plates, which was easy, to access the drain bolts. I would recommend making sure the vehicle is at least a bit warm so...

I wanted to report back after more use. I can tell you this for sure; the exhaust is louder than it was when first installed. Today I towed the boat about 50 miles on freeway and highway. Don't get me wrong, I like the sound. But, be warned that it has gotten louder over it's first week of...

Certainly water through the intake isn't good, however the amount that could come in by this route won't be enough to cause a problem. If you were to wash the vehicle by-hand, not just the drive-through and you washed under the hood you could conceivably 'water-log' the engine. But as far as a...

Well, I would not refer to the sound as objectionable at any time so far. If anything, it's quieter than I was expecting. Then again, this seems to work out as it isn't loud enough to get my wife mad at me! When I was discussing exhaust systems with my muffler shop guy, I kept saying that I...

The main reason that I didn't install my system was time. But the way my exhaust guy made it out, it would have been enough to drive me 'round the bend. I would think that most car repair places could handle the install, but a specific exhaust shop may be the best place to go. I've heard good...

Oh yeah, check your exhaust pipes. You will notice on the Ex Express site that there was a change made by Ford during the 98 model year. This Dynomax kit requires the "flange-mounted" style of exhaust pipes rather than "dual-inlet" style. edit, you can also go to the Dynomax web site to...

I went to a local muffler/exhaust shop. He ordered it through Napa. You can order it from: Explorer Express I've heard of several ppl installing it themselves and if you are mechanically inclined I'm sure you can do it yourself. I did not want to take on the project myself for a couple of...

Well, I've got my exhaust installed! So far I'm really liking it. I was a little unsure at first because it was really quiet, but after running it for a few minutes it loosened up and made some sound. Before this change I could only hear the exhaust from the rear under moderately hard...

Lee, I'll have some info for you tonight on my impressions of the Dynomax exhaust. Mine is being installed right now! I'll tell you what I think about the sound/performance changes. Stay tuned!

I ordered my KKM True-Rev intake kit despite reading of the problems described here. I am happy to report that I experienced no such issues. I ordered on Saturday night off the web site and received it today, Wednesday afternoon. No extra C.O.D. charges or anything. Good deal! Paid $92.95...

Count on hearing from me! I see most of the rest of you have the V-6 and remember that I'm putting this on the V-8, but my observations should still apply. I'm having it installed at an exhaust shop rather than installing myself so I won't be able to tell you much about ease of install. The...

I'm looking forward to seeing what it does to my sound. The Dynomax site has sound files for before and after on a number of vehicles and I hope I get the type of sound that the Expedition ends up with (at least the kind of change it got!).

Lee, I have ordered the Dynomax Super Turbo exhaust for my 97 5.0 Mounty and will have it installed this week. I know it's not the SOHC 4.0, but I will tell you what I can about their product when I get it!

sry bout the double post, problems with my satellite connection

There's a good chance that it's a crack in the EGR tube. What you're describing is the exact same sound that my 97 Mounty makes. It looks like a hassle to change the tube. I'm having mine replaced by my exhaust guy when he installs a new cat-back system on the Mounty. The tube cost me $54...

J. Kennedy, if you're still working on this, just a thought but is the meter set to DC?

Hi! I'm new here because I just bought a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer with the V8 AWD. I did considerable research before buying this vehicle and I determined that these are superior for towing to the GM equivelants. So far it's been great with few problems. I got mine with 102K miles on it from...
