Replaced the serpentine belt and tensioner today on my 02 4.6L, 145k miles. The belt was beginning to get small cracks but was in good shape, no idea if it had been changed before. I had noticed that my idle was starting to sound noisy as of late. Turned out the pulley on the original...

The most bizarre problem has started happening within the last week on my 02. While driving it's as if one of the door sensors is jiggling on and off, leading to a constant alarm chime. The door locks will also repeatedly spasm as the vehicle tries to lock the doors following the door ajar...

I have a couple things that have bugged me for a while now that I can't seem to solve. I'm looking for any suggestions at all that will help! 1) Loud, high pitched chirp going over bumps. At first I assumed sway bar bushings but it turned out not to be them. Then I went wild with a can of...

I have a couple hundred miles on my new reman transmission. It's been a big relief finally getting rid of the old slipping and growling 5R55W. The new one seems to be doing fine, shifts are solid and it holds power great. I have noticed that it slightly shudders here and there between shifts...

Broke down! Front end. vs. tranny? With video I went for a couple hundred mile trip this weekend (02 4.6L AWD, 140k miles). Cruising along the highway, something mechanical let go. This was followed with a repeating metallic clunk that shook the whole vehicle at a regular (slow?) interval...

I was rotating my tires today and discovered my rear sway bar was broken, the same corner as a broken spring I once had. I was having suspension symptoms but I didn't know what the problem was, going over bumps my rear end would pull out to the side. This was particularly nasty on and...

02 Mounty 4.6L, 126k miles. 1) Windup whining sound from the front end. The drive shaft has a lot of grimy buildup but it doesn't leak bad enough to drip onto the ground. Changed the front diff fluid a while back, it was black and sludgy and maybe 1qt of fluid came out. Is this a bad...

I've put 10kmi on my mounty since I bought it (121k currently), and in the last 1000 or so miles it's developed a nasty binding/shimmy type of sounds in turns after going for a long drive. A short drive around town or the morning after a long drive, there's no binding or sounds in turns and...

I just ordered in a new Motorcraft front wheel hub kit for my 3rd gen, been meaning to get to it for a while. I know that my front brake rotors are worn past minimum machining thickness, I had themchecked in the summer. My question is, what extra measures (if any) would I need to take to put...

Unfortunately, I believe I have one. My 4.6L appears to have the all-composite intake manifold that was prone to cracking. I just noticed the puddle around the frontmost passenger-side fuel injector. I can't tell where it's coming from. It seems to appear out of nowhere in the channel...

this is what i did this weekend :) wanted to stay as clean as possible and keep the third row of seats still usable. the plan worked, and my 3rd gen mounty sounds amazing. this was a smooth and easy install, zero issues. ran the 4ga down the drivers side, went through a grommet above-right...

i am a first time exploder/mountaineer owner. gained interest from a friends old '96 4.0L Limited. just bought this mountaineer last monday, 2002 mountaineer (3rd gen, clearly) 4.6L AWD, seems loaded with all but sunroof and was very clean. 112k on it, paid $7200...
