Hey all, I've been doing some searching and reading here about bad viscous couplers and trying to diagnose an issue with my Mountaineer. It's AWD and has a loud vibrating rumble. It starts at around 15mph and gets worse as speed increases. It follows speed, not engine RPM. My first thought...

Hey everyone. I've decided to make a build thread for my newest acquisition. I picked up a 2001 Mercury Mountaineer for $900. It has the 5.0 V8, AWD, power moonroof, etc. etc. Has about 175k miles on it and runs good, drives good, but needs some work. Mostly it needs body work and the...

Hey everyone, So this might be a long shot but I'm looking for somebody who is willing to sell me just part of a front fender. Maybe you have one that's damaged but the part I'm looking for is still good. Basically on the passenger side fender rear bottom mine is rotted out. Nobody makes...

Ok everyone, I picked up an 01 Mountaineer and the biggest issue with it is rust. Mostly in the Rocker panels. So I ordered an OEM style repair panel for the driver's side. See it here - http://www.ebay.com/itm/151622453909?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I have...

I'm going to look at a 2001 Mountaineer tomorrow morning. It's a 2001 AWD with the 5.0 V8. The guy says it needs some rocker rust repair, a couple of tires and a gas cap. Other than that he claims that it runs good and is pretty solid. I think he's hard up for cash cause he's offering it up...

Hey guys, been a while since I've been on here. Sold my explorer years ago and haven't had one in a while. There's a 91 for sale in town here that's in SUPER good shape. Here's the sellers description - 1991 Ford 4x4 Eddie Bauer Explorer, V6, 5spd, ONLY 97xxx miles, loaded,sunroof, no...

Hi guys, I did some searching and found a few answers but not quite what I was looking for. I have a 98 Explorer Sport 4X4 Auto that I'm trying DESPERATELY to sell. The ABS light has been on and the ABS would act up so I pulled the main fuse. The rear wheel speed sensor shows proper...

Ok so, I guess this is a fairly common problem as far as ABS problems go. My ABS light is on and sometimes when I stop it pulses as if the ABS is kicking it. It doesn't stop nearly as well when this happens and I kinda freaked out the first time. Here's the deal....I pulled the big fuse...

I'm torn between the General Grabber AT and the Kumho Road Venture KL78. WHile they have rather different lug patterns they are well matched tires. I've done alot of research and they both have decent reviews. So I'm going to base my decision on the opinions of the lovely people on this...

I've been doing a fair amount of reading in the 5r55e rebuild diary which TOTALLY rock by the way. And I have a pretty good handle on what i need to do but I have a few questions. Mainly I need to know where to get some of this stuff. I'm thinking I will get the following Ford TSB kit...

So my passenger side front endlink busted, I took it off because it was making noise. Now I need to order a new one. I decided that I don't want to order a stock version. So I'd rather go with the energy suspension version. From what I've read on here there are different lengths to get? I...

I searched and Searched but could not find an answer to my problem. I have a 98 Explorer Sport with Power Cloth Drivers seat with power/air lumbar support. The Pass. side also has the power lumbar. The power seat on the Drivers side does nothing.....no sounds, no movement, lumbar doesn't...

I'm thinking of getting a front bumper accessory. Call it what you want, push bar, safari bar, light bar. Westin makes one called the safari bar. There must be other ones out there but I can't find them. Anyone have one of these? Pics would be great too so I have some idea of how my ride...

Hey all, I know things like this get posted alot but I'm looking for opinions more than facts. I'm going to be buying a new set of rubber soon and I'm looking for some opinions and maybe some pictures of what people are running. First the size issue. I'm going to put on some Warrior...

Hi, I have a 99 Explorer sport and the driver's side window column trim piece is busted (the one that goes all the way up and over the door) I have a 98 Explorer with the same color in it. First I want to verify that the trim pieces are interchangable. Also, I wondered if there are any...

So I just thought I'd post up a picture of my 99 Explorer Sport that I just bought about a week ago. Can't wait to start doing some mods to it, nothing fancy though. Gonna put shackles in the rear, and I think somebody already did a TT on it, the front sits pretty high, those are 255/75/R16's...

I searched and searched, read numerous posts and sorted through at least 100 posts. I can't figuire out which Part number corresponds to my 6 disc CD Changer. I need a magazine for my changer, I didn't get one. I have a 99 Explorer Sport. I think I have the MACH stereo system and 6 disc...

I have a dead stereo in the two Explorers that I have. One (my Daily Driver) is a 1999. The other is a 1998. Neither stereo has power and the fuse located at the far left of the dash in position #29 is fine. I've been told however that there is another fuse located somewhere else. I...

OK so first of all, I've been searching on this forum for a while without finding anything about my problem, so sorry if this has in fact been asked and/or beaten to death. I also posted this in the Audio forum, but seems we're talking STOCK equipment and this forum seems to get more traffic I...

OK so first of all, I've been searching on this forum for almost a half an hour without finding anything about my problem, so sorry if this has in fact been asked and/or beaten to death. I just bought 2 Ford explorers, a 98 and a 99. The 99 is the one I drive, the 98 is going to be either a...

Hi Everyone, I just spent the morning at a used car dealer, I've been hunting for a decent used 2nd Gen Explorer Sport. I drove a 99 that I liked with 91k miles on it, had a few minor problems with it like the Power seat doesn't seem to adjust more than a few inches in either direction. While...

I know I know, not another Tranny Questions thread, I'm sure one pops up every other day. I've been doing alot of reading on here and still have more to do but here's a few questions I have that I'm hoping some of you can give me quick answers to. First off, I'm looking at buying a 95-97...

I'm going to buy an explorer within a couple months (I used to own a 92 Ex 4X4) and I'm gonna go with a 95-98 4X4 preferably 2 door XL or Sport. I would rather have a Stick but it seems most of them around here are auto tranny. I guess if the price is right and it's a nice truck I wouldn't...
