Getting ready to go look at a 2005 XLT with 4.0 motor 4wd. It has approx 135k miles. Pics look good, has new tires, owner says its in pristine condition inside and out (lol). Says the only maintenance its ever needed is oil changes and no major parts have been replaced yet, which is good and...

Hello.... I currently have a 2000 5.0 EB and really like it. I bought the 5.0 package based on all the feedback on this board, saying they they were the most resistance to issues and the tranny / engine combo were "bulletproof." They also didnt have the "death rattle" that some of the V6s...

2000 5.0 2wd. Towing an open utlility trailer (5x8) to go pick up a riding mower and some misc lawn equipment, ladders, etc. I think the mower weighs a bit over 500lbs. So figure another couple hundred lbs, im looking at apprx 750 plus the weight of the trailer (unknown). The trip is...

Recently bought a 2000 5.0 2wd. Needed tires so I put on Michelins LTX. (great tires and ride by the way). Guy said the alignement was way off and recomended i get one. I figured id test it with the new tires first... when i'm driving it doesnt seem to pull at all and drives pretty straight...

Looking at buying a 2000 5.0 Eddie Bauer 2wd with 78k for approx $4500. I wanted to get some feedback on two area from you guys. It is in very good condition / clean but will need tires this year at some point. First, is this a decent deal? I know the market on these is low right now...

I currently have a 1996 XLT 5.0 AWD w/136 k on the clock. I really enjoy it and it tows pretty well (3500lb boat). I have the opportunity to pick up a 2000 EB with a 5.0 with a lot less miles. Difference is that this one is 2WD. I dont necessarily need the AWD capabilities, but i wanted...

1996 5.0 w/128k Last winter I noticed a few drops of antifreeze on the ground that looked like it was originating just above the oil filter casing. It would only happen on cold days and there would be just a few drops. When it got warmer, it wasnt there anymore so I forgot about it. Now its...

1996 5.0 w/120k I pulled a code (cant remember which one) but it was for a vacuum leak. Anyway, in my case it was a faulty gas cap. Replaced the gas cap and all was good for about 6 months. Then same code came back...put a little oil on the gas cap rubber seal and it fixed it for a while...

1996 V8 w/116k Noticed a pretty signifigant coolant leak yesterday... Assuming it was the water pump going bad (after inspecting / tightening all hoses) I noticed that on top of the water pump there was coolant collecting there. So I tightened the thermostat housing bolts. Leak still...

Helping may brother move and I'll be towing a jeep for him about 250 miles. I'll be using one of those car dollys. I have a 96 5.0 with a factory tranny cooler. I pull a 3000 lb boat with it, but never with OD on and not very far. I know the jeep on a dolly cant wiegh much, but should I...

When I replaced the plugs yesterday, I got to see first hand how bad the last guy beat up the liner / cover piece (that lets you access the spark plugs). Does anyone know where I can get replacement wheel well liners?

1996 V8 w/106k Last night did a bunch of maintenance - cleaned Maf, IAC, changed plugs and wires. What a PITA is was to get all of those plugs out. Problem was, I wasnt able to get one of the plugs out due to rust. I didnt torque on it too hard - wanted to know if there were any tips...

I currently have a 96 5.0 XLT. Car comes with keyless entry, but I've never had the remotes to operate the keyless. Last night, I found a remote from a 99 4.0 EB that I used to own (thought I had lost it). I tried to program the 99 remote to my 96 this morning following the other...

First post... Just bought a '96 XLT V8 AWD w/106k. Truck has 4 new tires, new CV joints, and new fluids (except the coolant needs to be flushed). From what I can tell, all it needs is a new serp belt (which is being put on today) and shocks. Truck runs great and tranny shifts smooth...so I...
