So is the 470RW a type of AODE and is that what I have on my RWD Mountaineer? I was under the assumption that I had the AODE and 470RW is for the AWD drivetrain. What are some pros and cons on my tranny...just wanted to know more about it. What kind of gear ratios do I have? Thanks!

cool thanks guys!

I have two missing buttons on my steering wheel on the left side. I don't know what their function is and what they originally looeked like. Does anyone have an image or just an explanation of these. Thanks!

Is it a major project to lower? From what you told me...and what I've read so far about lowering the our SUVs....not much to it....but just worries me that these trucks were meant to be a certain way. I always hear it's better to leave things stock...and I agree to an extent...just want to do...

Just wondering what not to do...what to watch out for......and what things are reasonable ways to improve my Mountaineer's handling. What about wheel options and tires? I'm new to torsion bars but I just know they are my front springs...I have a RWD and I'm basically looking for maybe a...

I am slowly realizing that my Mountaineer is a brick. I've been reading tons of threads and doing searches. 0 to 60 is probably all I'm concerned with so I'm going to not set my goals for a 1/4 mile vehicle. The frame is pretty gnarly and the suspension is pretty cool. I don't need to really...

Would TMH make custom headers for those alum. heads that are now available?

compression is still good and even on all cylinders....so I"m happy about that

Good enough for you doesn't mean it's good enough for me. I just want a simple build...and I'm asking simple questions. Don't know why some of you have a weird attitude...but more power to you. Just wanted to know what works...what's not gonna work...and what I should not even think about...

I only question to be sure....nothing is ever 100%...I'd rather ask a hundred times until I understand without any doubts. I think I understand more or less what I need to be shopping around for...just seems like the explorer 5.0 aftermarket is kind of dim and you gotta search a little more. I...

What would it take to go carb'd...and what will that mean for the EGR on TMH...and what does that mean for the AOD...it has an ecu right?

Last I remember the placard on the door said 5000lbs...also 5000lbs was the test weight for smog. Gonna move to a state without smog soon. So would a typhoon intake and 93 cobra cam be a good combo with head/valve work to the 40ps....and of course make the ECU more aggressive? How would I go...

well actually posi trac is what I want....what should I be looking into when it comes to thaT? 9"?

I thought the RWD models came with an AOD...I have a RWD 5.0. I can imagine boltons including exhaust mods would be the 16 sec time frame....I do 65 tops on the highway so I think 4.10's might be ok. I did not know I had an LSD so that makes me happy. But with a typhoon intake...more...

Seems like a lot people like the MAC CAI....any other good ones out there? What about MAF? What about TB.....what are the best bolt ons out there? I want to know what to shop for...don't want to waste money on crap. Torque Monsters are my only option for headers. Probably gonna get a pair of...

Well I was wondering with modest mods what would these vehicles run in the 1/4. My guess is all bolt ons....a diet, cam/intake manifold upgrade...head work...valve work...lower gears...mid high 14's. Am I crazy for thinking so?

The car weighs 5000 and I'm just trying to see who out there has done some mods and got good results. I want to go NA and if mid 14's arnt happening without a 100 or 150 shot. Why is everyone so against me trying to make it quick...I understand it's designed to be a multi purpose off road type...

What kind of cam spec s should I be looking at? I know the cam I've got is just about all my valves can handle stock...if I get the most out of 40p's I can and put the mountaineer on a diet...ie no power doors or windows and gut it...lighter hood, maybe take off the rear hatch...no A/C...

Just want something more out of what I got...just a quick explorer...and modest with reasonable expectations...just wondering if anyone else out there has tried to see what they could get out of an explorer NA.

So I've owned my 97 Mountaineer for a few months now and I'd like to modify. After a bit of research I'm beginning to find out room in the engine bay is my enemy when it comes to mods. So I'm being realistic and wondering what kind of 1/4 times I can expect with my goals. I'm thinking some...
