'99 5.0 251k miles. Where is the best place to buy injectors?

1999 Mounty. 5.0. 247,000 miles. Check engine light comes back on within a few minutes of clearing the code. Where do I start?

Engine cranks but won't start when hot. Not a battery problem, not a starter problem. Just replaced ECT sensor and fuel pump. New Motorcraft parts. Runs great when it does start. Sometimes it starts when hot if I cycle the key to run to prime the fuel pump then to off a few times, then try to...

I have a wobble, shake, shimmy, whatever it's called. Happens over 55 mph. Is not constant; sometimes it's smooth as glass at 60 mph, sometimes it shakes fairly violently. Doesn't stop shaking going over 80 mph, but it is less shaky. 25k on new steering rack (inner and outer the rods), and it...

'99 Mounty, 5.0 - I cut the old muffler and exhaust pipe out. I can't figure out how to get the new tailpipe in. It hits the shock absorber on the passenger side and won't go any further in. I thought maybe letting the spare tire down might help with some wiggle room, but I can't seem to get...

Are the bulbs that light the rear de-fogger and the fog light switches on the right of the dash, just to the right of the radio, on a '99 replaceable, or would I have to get new switches?

How difficult is it to get to the rear window hinges? Mine are loose and the window is shifted to the left. I can open it and straighten it out, but after a day, it shifts over again. They just need to be tightened.

I have to replace the exhaust system on my '99 Mounty. 5.0. I found a reasonably priced, direct replacement full exhaust from Rockauto, but I can't seem to find any direct fit muffler choices for a slightly more aggressive than stock sound. I don't want to remove the cats or anything other than...

'99 Mounty. 209k. Has anyone replaced the camshaft sychronizer? I would guess it's similar to replacing a distributor. Is it ok to use a remanufactured part from Advanced Auto, or is this the type of thing I need to get a Motorcraft part for?

I'm having 2 new problems. Unsure if they are related. '99 5.0 Mounty. 1. There is a whining sound coming from the engine. Not super loud, but getting louder. RPM related - higher pitch with higher RPM. Doesn't matter if moving or parked. It seems to be coming from the front of the...

99 AWD 5.0 Mountaineer The blower (HVAC) works... Occasionally. When it feels like it. Today it was 100° outside. No blow. Tonight, works fine. I'm assuming that if the fuse blew, it wouldn't work at all. The rear blower works, and the air is cold from back there, so the compressor is...

'99 V8 AWD Mounty. Temp went way up. I turned the car off before it overheated. Steam from the passenger side of the radiator by the air filter box. No heat in the car. Overflow reservoir is full. The drivers side cap is barely hot. Engine temp cools down in about 10 mins. I can go 3 or...

'99 AWD 5.0., 193,000 mi. Front end wobbles. I feel it in the steering wheel too. Worse vibration with speed. Only happens in motion so I know it isn't the harmonic balancer. Steering rack, inner and outer tie rods have less than 3k miles on them. Both front bearings have less than 10k...

I just replaced the passenger side hub/bearing assembly. It went as well as could be expected, except that I noticed that one of the pistons in the caliper is leaking. When I put it back together, when I apply the brake I get a terrible grinding and vibration through the brake pedal. With the...

I went to recline my front seat yesterday. Pulled that handle just as gently as I have for the past 11 years. This time, the handle snapped off in my hand. The metal sheared where the handle connects to the seat. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it replaceable or should I try to have it...

'99 mounty. Passenger side window goes down very slowly. Up doesn't seem to be a problem. Is there something that I can grease at the motor or linkage level, or maybe a loose wire, or am I just waiting for motor replacement when total failure happens?

When I turn the fan on (heat or a/c) the third setting (2 clicks to the right) doesn't blow any faster than the second setting (one click to the right). Full power works well. Is this some problem in the fan or in the switch? Is this something that can be fixed, or should I leave it alone?

I have a '99 AWD Mountaineer. New steering rack, new inner and outer tie rods. New wheel alignment. Tracks straight as an arrow with my foot off the accererator. Under acceleration, it pulls to the left. Can anyone tell me why this happens?

I'm loosening the motor mounts on my '99 Mountaineer so I can jack the motor up to get the steering rack out. I've loosened the 4 nuts as much as I can without taking then completely off. The problem is, that still isn't high enough for me to clear the oil pan to get the rack out. If I jack...

I have '99 Mountaineer with the 5.0 and AWD. On medium to soft acceleration there is a vibration that feels like I'm riding over small rumble strips in the road when the trans is changing into the next higher gear. Usually only happens from 2nd to 3rd gear or 3rd to 4th gear. If I lift from the...

I'm in the process of removing the steering rack on a '99 Mountaineer with the 5.0 V8. The main power steering pressure line and the line to the p.s. cooler are next to impossible to reach. It looks like the bracket that holds the oil filter, If removed, will allow me plenty of clearance to...

I'm trying to remove my starter to replace it. '99 5.0. Mountaineer. It is in a very tight spot. Does anyone have any helpful sugggestions on making the removal and replacement procedure a little easier?

Would it be possible to convert my Automatic trans AWD V8 mountaineer to a manual trans? Would I be able to keep the AWD? My current Auto trans is tired and may need rebuild/replace. I would love to convert it to manual if I'm going to be dropping the trans anyway.
