I had an engine coolant leak coming down underneath the blower / evaporator core housing and dripping on the passenger side inside the wheel well cover. I looked from underneath and all I could see was the bottom the blower / evaporator core housing had coolant dripping from it so I thought it...

I replaced the radio/receiver with an up to date receiver that had blue tooth and apple car play. I was using a non mach radio prior (display out of course) and when I installed the new receiver, the subwoofer was cracking and gurgling so I replaced with a subwoofer and able to get it...

Headliner shows signs of water in leakage as there are water stains in front both sides and some in back on passenger side along the side edge all the way back. I have removed the headliner and one of the drain hoses on the front of the moon roof assembly was disconnected on the passenger side...

My front differential needs replacing. I dropped one out from the junkyard yesterday with the driver's side axle in place, no issues getting it out with this axle in place, saved a good bit of time. I am wanting to know if anyone has reinstalled one with the driver's axle in place. Seems like...

Without the front drive shaft, smooth, no noticeable vibration. With the front drive shaft (I have tried 3 different drive shafts, one new, two rebuilt), and I get a grinding vibration type feel that gets worse when I take my foot off the accelerator or put in neutral. Transfer case is from a...

Starting getting P0171 P0174 codes on a 2000 5.0. Forscan showed high fuel trims (~25%) at idle and much less (7% - 10%) at driving rpms. Started checking for vacuum leaks, ended up it was the 3/8" ID line that goes underneath the battery well to the evap canister. So, to anyone searching...

I am needing to replace the CV joint on the front drive shaft on a 2000 5.0 AWD and am looking at the different CV joint repair kits available. I am looking at Rock Auto, Ebay, Amazon, and others and all the kits available have bad reviews. Most of the bad reviews are about the joint failing...

I have replaced the timing cover gasket on 4 different 5.0 vehicles due to coolant leaking. The oldest repair is about 4 years old and 50K miles, no leaks. Of the four, one has started leaking again, top passenger corner, and it was installed about 2 years ago, 25K miles when it was leaking at...

This is what I have in my cart at Rock Auto including the % discount and shipping. This past week, I put on new upper control arms and lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends, front wheel hubs, and new shocks all the way around on my daughter's 243,000 5.0 AWD Mountaineer. Had it aligned...

My wife's brother told her that her (our) 2000 5.0 AWD does not ride as nice as a newer passenger car does. I agree. He owns two Ferrari's, 3 Corvettes, and other vintage rides, and is politically the same as we are and his opinion is respected by both of us. Partly/mostly because of his...

I am in the middle of replacing the fuel pump/sender on a 2000 Monterey Mountaineer and I had to remove a fuel tank shield to get to the fuel tank. It protects the entire underside of the fuel tank. Is this shield standard on the Monterey? This is the 5th of these 2nd gens I have owned and...

I replaced the front driver seat cover (2000, 5,0, leather/vinyl) yesterday with a cover from The Seat Shop. The cover was exactly like the original so I was pleased with that however, the job was kind of a PITA. If I had to do it again on another vehicle like this, are there any other OEM...

I am looking for the strip of dark grey molding that is on the rear quarter panel on the passenger side. The piece is 4" wide and goes around under the rear tail light and has 5 plastic push through connectors and is held with double sided tape.

Looking for something else I can try on the inner bolt on the exhaust manifold to down pipe connection. I got the outer one by heating it cherry red and then wax/candle with repeated efforts. Also used penetrant the day before. I can get to the inner one with a 24” extension. Have used kroil...

Okay, it is a stretch to post this question in the forum, my apologies if it is not appropriate but I know there are some experts on here that can give some good advice. A clown lost control of his vehicle in front of me on the interstate changing lanes and speeding in the rain. Bounced off the...

I'll start with the pictures so you can see for yourself the failure and then imagine what might could happen. You can see the compressed spring in the first photo caused by the cracked plastic sleeve pieces in the second photo preventing the spring from relaxing. Of course, the compressed...

First, I normally post and read the 2nd gen stock forum, but figured more folks in this forum would have the best advice and experience for my issue. I went to purchase a 2000 5.0 that had 226K miles on it and when I got there, the owner already had it running. The hood was open and I noticed...

Does this look like a V8. I thought they all had the V8 emblem on them. https://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/5489492050.html

I saw a 2nd generation explorer yesterday with a cobra emblem. Is anyone familiar with these? How many did they make, what years...

My auto headlights are not coming on. I have done the following. 1. Swapped all the relays under the driver's side dash with known good relays. 2. Swapped mirrors with known good mirror. I have a green light on the mirror in dark conditions and it goes off in light conditions. 3...

I was changing the oil in my daughter's mountaineer and i noticed a clicking noise coming from the passenger side under/ behind the dash. It did this for 10 or 15 seconds, then stopped. Of course, only cold air and no hot air so I suspected the blend door actuator. Removed the actuator...

Replaced a leaky evaporator core yesterday. 175K miles, last one I replaced looked like this as well. Likely a common failure at this mileage (second one I have replaced on high mileage exploders). Thought I would share the picture. Hard to see all the crud and debris with just the blower...

I am wanting to cut off a rear quarter panel from a junkyard. I will not be able to take any power tools in other than a battery powered drill. Is this a futile effort or can it be done, albeit slowly? My thought was I could drill some holes and then chisel a cut and or use shears. I could...

My son's 2000 5.0 Mountaineer has been in Minnesota the last year or so and he got the codes in the title of the thread and they have been on for a few months. We went to pick him up from school and I took some MAF cleaner with me and cleaned the MAF sensor, I cleared the codes and drove it back...
