    Mountaineer R (Marauder AWD Concept) coming soon

    LMAO looking back at the gas picture! Not done yet. The original v6 is running strong so no NEED to do it. The v8 is wider and the transmission is different, although both are 5r55s they use different mounts and torque converters. Maybe one day, but right now on pause

    Hey there does anyone know if I Can put 17 inch rims and tires front a f150 in my 2007 explorer?

    I learned from experience that YOU DO NEED hub sizing adjustment. I bought these from Bloxsports (seller on ebay) for $325 for a set of 4; The wheel hub spec of Ford Explorer 2007 is bolt pattern 5x114.3 hub bore 70.5mm studs 1/2"-20; The wheel spec of Ford Explorer 2013 is bolt pattern...

    06 mountaineer taillight bulb

    As I'm sure you found out, the lamp assembly are the same shape, but the mounting studs are different. Were you able to find a workaround?

    Disable Check Lamp Error

    I'm following because I have to press "reset" to clear them. I was too lazy to wire resistors.

    seat heater

    Yes, the best way to fix this would be disconnect the seat and remove it to a workbench. You will need to remove the leather covers to access the heater elements, which are glued into the seat foam. It's just two cables that go to the pads, but they are a pain to access and with hog rings...

    New Wheels for old Sport

    My application is a 2007 Mountaineer. My wheels are 2013 Explorer. They have the same offset of 44mm, however the hub is different, with 70.6 hub and 63.4mm on the wheel center bore. I am thinking 2" may be too much to fit my 285/45r20's, since I do not need to makeup 1.25" as you did on the...

    hubcentric / spigot rings and steel rims

    I tried using 2013 Explorer limited wheels on my 2007 Mountaineer. My Mountaineer has bearings / hubs that are too wide for the center bore of the 2013 wheels. Using a 1/4 spacer, I was able to mount the wheels. However, I recently lost a wheel making a turn, and sheared a couple of studs on...

    Check engine light on and can't pass emissions....

    LOL, I have already snagged a front differential for $100 last night. Between the mountaineer and aviator I figured I have a few spare drivetrain parts now.

    Check engine light on and can't pass emissions....

    What if I found a $2500 2004 Aviator (DOHC Alum 4.6L v8)...what if I also found a $100 Eaton M90....... Could I call it a Marauder AWD?

    Check engine light on and can't pass emissions....

    It could be right at the plug like in my case where throttle sensor wires were cross contacting.

    Are 3rd & 4th gen Mountaineer headlight assemblies interchangeable?

    yes! I bought this item $130 for the headlight housing pair w/ bulbs and the holes line up correctly for the securing shims. This item came with a harness that I did not need to use and bulbs I did not use either, although they look quality. The baffling is slightly different from stock on my...

    If you had the interior apart, what Preventative Maintenance or other work would you do?

    I bought a used Mountaineer, the lady that owned it before me couldn't keep a coffee cup right side up. I took all interior trim off and steam cleaned the pieces, front and back, individually. Took about 2.5 hours and 3 beers, but the radio was on and the sun was out. I'm waiting on my new...

    Blower keeps switching between dash vents and defrost when taking off..

    I was losing AC out of main vents going up hills in my 2007 Mountaineer v6. The plastic vacuum line was cracked at the check valve. I cut off about an inch from the end and re-seated it in the valve. Problem solved :D

    HELP!! Engine Stalls Out At Traffic Light!

    Yep, no option to clean the IAC, it's built into the electric throttle body.
