My girlfriend has a 2000 XLS. For some reason the ignition key doesnt open the doors...perhaps a previous owner had the ignition replaced? The only method of access is keyless-unfortunately her battery is dead. To charge the battery we need access to the hood latch...under the dash. What we have...

My 97 mounty AWD started making a bang sound when I floored it a couple years back, and now I can only give about 20% throttle off of the line or else it'll make this sound repeatedly 'till it gets up to speed. Strangely, though, if I accelerate and the kick-down is engaged it doesn't do it...

I am researching all possible modifications for my mounty. Has anyone ever used the existing reflector holes in the ass-end bumper as cuda-like exhaust outlets? Obviously the leafs would run interference, but possibly pipes could be bent around in a mild V? I have no spare tire.

My mountaineer's Torque converter chatter is beyond hope. I've tried every voodoo fix & nothing helps, now its time to replace the torque converter...or is it. As much as I drive any fuel savings would be welcome, so why don't I put in a tremec. No, really, tell me every reason you think I...

Guys, I can't get rid of Torque Converter chatter on my '97 Mounty AWD V8. Can I disconnect the lock-up?

All right, terribly annoying problem. My Lock-up in the T/C seems to be engaging whenever it fricking wants to, even before gear shifts. Here's the symptom. When my truck shifts into 4th gear the whole truck shutters (lugging). I think it's the lock-up, possibly the lock-up solenoid. Does anyone...

Guys, I want to hook up my kenwood amp in my Mounty. I was going to use a hi-level to RCA converter, but I have to tie into speaker wires. Does anyone know what color the rear speaker wires are when they come out of the factory amp?

Hey guys, I just put a Mach sub from a '99 Mounty in place of the old JBL sub and WOW! Helluva' difference. I had to cut the hole out an inch or two put the plug was the same and the base is way better quality. Cheap upgrade for anyone with an older x who still wants it to appear stock.

I've blown 2 Ford/JBL subs this year. Bought the 2nd on at a junk yard, I've never been happy. I've heard Fosgate & Kicker make replacements. Where can I find these, and do they have the built in crossover like the factory 1?

Could someone please clarify what motors were optional & standard on what models. Is this info. already in another thread?

My Dash Lights (Gauges, Radio Display, Heat Knobs) Won't come on with the lights. Has anyone else had this problem and found the short? No, I don't have the knob slid down.

Where have you mounted your CB and the antenna?

A few months ago my stock radio button lights quit working (Display/Clock is still fine). Also, when I turned on my lights, the "Speed Control" light would disappear, only to re-appear when my lights were shut off. Then, last week I turned my headlights on and nothing on my cluster lit up. All...

I found an 8.8 "Trac-Lok Posi 28 spline" would this fit and make a difference in my mounty, or is this just an impressive name for "Limited Slip"?

I was curious if anyone on the site has put an over-sized cam in their 5.0 x?

The other day I changed my oil, did a Torsion Twist and Add-a-Leaf. When I left the garage, for the first time ever the buttons on my radio didn't light up with the Headlights. Also, the Speed control indicator will not come on if the Headlights are on. Any suggestions?

Where do I find the best price on lift shackles for my mounty?

I'm getting an EGR code from my computer, but the EGR on the 5.0 seems impossible to reach. Any pointers for replacing it, including best brand?

I'm about to unshroud my ignorance, but my Mounty had its first encounter with a drift last night; and I must say I was sorely disappointed after two years of owning a totally Manual Expolerer. My explorer spun all wheels together in snow, mud, gravel, etc... My Mounty would only spin the...

Hey Everybody who has done a Filtercharger on a 5.0, I put mine on today and it has four support brackets with no obviously useful position. It has no instructions, and so I'd like to see a picture of how you bolted your supports. Thanks

The EGR on my Mounty is seemingly impossible to remove. The top nut is cake, but I can't even feel it, let alone reach it with a wrench. Suggestions?

Does anyone make a swing-out spare tire carrier for the rear of Explorers and Mountys. My Dual Exhaust takes up some of the stock space.

I just bought my truck and the JBL factory sub does nothing. Also, none of the speakers have any bass. with bass turned up on the head unit, system sounds like a bunch of tweeters. HELP!
