    Dorman 615-175 Failing

    I have a 2002 4.6L Mountaineer that I replaced the intake manifold on seven years ago. I used the Dorman 615-175 replacement, and am fairly certain it is failing. I have a moderate oil leak (a few drops whenever parked) and have found a bit of moisture in two of the spark plug wells. Has anyone...

    Exit Power Delay

    When I turn the key off, the radio and other accessories stay powered for about ten minutes, or until a door is opened. I am referring to that as "exit power delay" in this post. As of this morning, this no longer occurs. When I turn the key off, accessory power is removed and the interior...

    Weak Blower?

    I have a 2002 Mountaineer with the automatic climate control. It has not seemed to be performing to expectations for cooling, so I checked the refrigerant side. Being almost a decade old it was in need of some refrigerant, which I resolved, but it still is not blowing like I think it should...

    Coolant Flush and Bleeding

    I flushed the coolant on my '02 4.6L. I used the radiator drain and refilled at the reservoir on the passenger side. I am having difficulty getting the system to bleed off...the heater will not blow warm. Is there a bleeder somewhere in the system I am not seeing, or a suggested procedure to...

    Rear Differential Capacity...Owner's Manual Typo?

    I have a 2002 Mountaineer, 4.6L, 2-wheel drive. I just changed the rear differential fluid, pursuant to a pinion seal replacement. As far as I am aware, the 8.8" IRS was the only option on this vehicle, with a choice of limited-slip or not. I checked the manual before all of this and it...

    2002 Rear-end Leak

    I have a 2002 Mountaineer with a rear-end leak. It is coming from the front of the differential, so I am assuming it is the pinion seal. From looking around, it seems like all the suggestions sound about the same as this: http://sn95forums.com/index.php/topic,40755.0.html Any other advice...

    Best xCal Tune Provider?

    I have a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer V8 2x4. I have a line on a cheap xCal2, and am considering getting a tune. I know there are several good 4.0 tuners out there, but have not been able to find a lot of feedback for the 4.6. Anyone have any experience or recommendations?
