Hi All The black plastic baffle inside the steel tank of my 2000 Mountaineer 2WD has come loose. Has anyone had any success getting it stuck back into place? If so, how did you do it, and with which materials? I had the gas tank out to change the pump/sender assembly. It's a pretty easy...

All The oil level sensor on my 2000 Mountaineer leaks. I took it out, and it's all one piece, not the 2-piece one of years past. I looked in all the usual places, Autozone, O'Reilly Auto, NAPA, RockAuto, and the part is no longer available. Standard part number FLS51, or NAPA ECH FLS641...

Gotta LOVE these electrical gremlins! I have a 2000 (built 11/99) Merc Mountaineer Monterey. I did some troubleshooting with the balky driver side door lock actuator, and still haven't got 100% function out of it. Inside the car: push down on D/S LOCK button, 3 doors and liftgate lock...

All I'm about to embark on changing out defective door lock actuators on my 2000 Mountaineer. The reviews on Amazon for the cheapest unit (Dorman 746-145) are mixed...some people are having really poor luck with them. What brand are people here having good luck with? Thanks, Gerard

Weird thing on my 2000 Mounty V8 2WD: The LEFT side front AND rear brakes have always produced more dust than the right side. At a recent tire rotation, I see why: The pads on the left side have more wear! The brakes work fine, no pulling or other funny business. Wear on the inner/outer pads...

Ok, this is a weird one... 2000 Mountaineer 4 door, with keyless entry. I've had the car about a year, and the driver's door power lock has worked intermittently. Now, it's quit again, and in a strange way. Mechanically, using the steel key, everything works. Only electrically is there...

Hi All My 2000 Mounty has front seats with integral headrests. My girlfriend pointed out the other day that the distance between the headrest and her head is pretty far, making it uncomfortable to lean back and take a nap in the seat. Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket cushion we...

Hi All! As my 2000 Mounty 5.0 2WD passes 150,000 miles, I'm wondering if new oxygen sensors would improve my gas mileage. No codes right now, just sensors with a lot of miles. Has anyone replaced all 4 sensors just because of high miles? If so, did your fuel economy improve? If I do...

Hello All! I'm trying to add a 12v power tap (cigarette lighter socket) into the left rear area of my 2000 Mountaineer. When you remove the jack cover, there are a lot of wires and boxes in the wheelhouse, one of which SHOULD have a 12v hot wire. Now, the problem is which one? It has to be...

Hi All I thought for sure that this squeak coming from my 2000 Mounty 5.0 was belt related, so I took the belt off, and it's still the same, and getting worse! What do you all think this could be? It's speed related. http://bob2000.com/squeak.mov Ideas? Gerard

Hi All I found that the average mileage meter that comes with some of our vehicles to be insufficient to tell me what I was doing right or wrong at the instant I needed the information. What's needed is a meter that provides instant MPG. I found this Kiwi meter on Amazon.com for $89 and...

Hi All I've searched and searched the forum for an answer to this question, but just haven't found anything, so here goes. What is the best repair manual for a 2000 Explorer/Mountaineer? I have the huge Ford repair manual...very complex, lots of special tools called out...you just about...

HI All! I've been reading a lot of the thread about the Airbag Light Code 3-7. The Ford TSB 03-24-1 says to replace the harness with kit number XL2Z-14B455-AC which my local Ford dealership would be happy to special order for $300! That's if I install it myself, no labor included...

I'm now convinced that the stock running boards on my 2000 Mounty were put there by the Dockers slack company and 1 Hour Martinizing dry cleaners in order to ruin my pants! So, off they come! Question: How do I fill the resulting holes in the rocker panel to prevent moisture from getting...

Hello All My 2000 Mounty came without a jack and no owners manual. I have no idea what kinds of tools go in the jack pocket. Anyone have a pic, or have these parts for sale? Thanks, Gerard

Hi All! I've settled on wanting a 5.0 Mountaineer, 2wd, in red. What is everyone's opinion of this vehicle? http://www.allanteautoonline.com/vehicledetails.aspx?VID=104266176 Thanks! Gerard in San Diego

Hello all I'm a Ford guy...I bleed Ford blue. I have a 1990 Bronco II on its last legs, a 72 F250, a 1970 Torino Cobra Drag Pack in work, and have had many Fords in the past. I'm looking for a 1996-2001 V6 Automatic 2WD 4-door Explorer to take the place of my Bronco II. Is there a good...
