    Broken motor mount bolts into the block?

    Seems this has happened to others too. Both motor mount bolts are broken flush with the block on the passenger side. 1999 5.0, auto trans, rear wheel drive. It looks like I have a straight line to get a drill and easyout to them. I'll lift it from the top as I do have an engine hoist and this...

    5.0 Fuel pressure test gauge?

    Where do I find a pressure gauge that I can connect to test the fuel pressure while running the engine or, better yet, driving it? This new to us '99 5.0 has a long crank to start that gets longer when it is warmed up. When warmed it slowly stumbles from crank speed to an idle speed. I've...

    Bad '99 headlight slide switch, will '97 work?

    The headlight timer slider switch quit working about a year ago in my wife's '99 XLT. We can turn it off (all the way to the left) or the lights stay on for about 2 minutes no matter where the switch is positioned. I have a complete mirror assembly from a '97 that is overall bigger than our...

    Steering wheel buttons have shriveled

    The cruise control buttons on the wife's '99 XLT Explorer have begun to shrivel and look too nasty and gooey to even touch. Is there source for replacement buttons? The wheel and its covering are in near perfect shape.
