    Fuel Tank Varies

    I've got a buddy at work that has a 99' Merc Mounty with a 6 cyl, 4wd. Not sure of engine size....don't think it matters. I thot I read on this board once about the inability to fill up the gas tank consistently. He is very meticulous about filling up. Fills up on slow and has kept gas...

    5.0 Auto Front End Noise

    Hi Guys, I've searched for clues to this problem but hadn't seen any real fixes. My AWD 5.0 Merc Mounty's reverberating hum from the front end is getting worse. I took it in a little while ago when it only made the noise when slowing down. The trip we took last weekend had the fron end...

    Sun Roof Noise

    I get a lot of noise from the area of my sunroof. Is there anyway to get rid of it? Like one of those add-on deflectors kinda like what you would use on the door windows? When I mess with the switch on the sunroof I can make the noise a less annoying but then the roof isn't completely...

    Mounty Leaning

    Hello, Ok, I hope I don't get fried, but I've done a search on this and didn't come up with anything helpful. My Mercury leans to the drivers side. It only has 26,000 miles and the previous owners were "little old people"....meaning not heavy. Neither is my wife or I. Is it just the way...

    AWD Working?

    I have a 2000 Merc AWD with a 5.0 Litre. It seems to me while traveling in snow that the front end doesn't seem to engage like it ought to. For example. When pulling out from a stop sign (snow on the ground), all I seem to do is fishtail....(it does have L/S) doesn't seem like the front end...

    Under Hood Detail

    Hello, I would like to detail under the hood(engine, hoses, wires, fenderwells, etc) to get it the way it came from a dealership. Everything nice, shiney and glossy. Any ideas on products and methods? My Merc isn't too bad it's my F150 that really needs it. Thanks,

    Fluids Change

    Hello, I just got all my synthetic oil for engine, differentials and transfer cases. Going to change all this weekend. On the differential covers....do I need the gaskets or can I just use that gasket maker you can get out of a tube? I remember using Permatex stuff long ago. I honestly...

    Front Differential Hum?

    Hi Guys, I have a 00' Merc Mounty 5.0L AWD that I bought not too long ago. It has about 25,000 miles on it. I've been noticing a real definite hum and vibration from the floor. It seems to come from the front differential. Happens most noticeably when slowing down/coasting to a stop at...

    Trailer Connector

    Hello, I need to have a 7 pin round connector on the back of my Merc for towing rather than the 4 pin flat connector that exists now. I will be towing a Coleman tent trailer and would like the trailer brake assist and the charging for the trailer battery hooked up. I am going to purchase...
