2001 v8 mountaineer. Have had the same intermittent issue for the last 4 winters. Never does this in the spring/summer/fall. Any time the temp drops, say under 32° or so, every now and then the car won't start. Not often, but it gets more frequent the colder it gets. Maybe once every 20-30...

our 01 mountaineer recently had the check engine light come on. 96K miles, never had the light on since we've owned it (around late 2006). Took it to autozone & had them read the codes, only showed p0442, which is some sort of evap emissions control thing. Took off the gas cap and reset it...

2001 mountaineer 5.0, doesn't happen all the time but when starting from a dead stop & especially while turning from a stop it will sometimes make a rubbing sound. you have to be moving for it to make the noise. feels like it's coming from the body - I can't identify specifically where it's...

So this weekend I was replacing all brake pads, rotors, and all 4 shocks on my 2001 mountaineer. For the past year or so, whenever it was colder than say 50 degrees out, the rear hatch wouldn't unlock until either the sun warmed up the interior to a good temp, or outside was at least 50...

Going to replace all the shocks on my 2001 mountaineer, wondered if anyone had any experience with the Monroe Sensa Trac 58617 model rear shock absorbers. They have a coil spring built in to apparently help support up to 1200 lbs extra weight, would be nice with towing I would think. Just...

what's the mpg range for towing with a 5.0 AWD explorer? (mine's a 01 mounty). Just wanted to get an idea of what everyone got, i'll be pulling a 2500 pound boat, maybe 2 people & some gear. Would guess with people, boat, & gear around 3500 pounds.

I'm thinking about installing a class III hitch on my 01 mounty, 5.0L AWD. It looks to have the extra trans cooler already installed so I would assume it's prewired for the towing package. From what I've read, it should have the wiring connector somewhere under the rear tail lights (either...

just bought a new set of upper control arms/ball joints and lower ball joints. I bought just the outer part of the passenger control arm/ball joint as I didn't know there was a 1 piece version available. Do I just unbolt it from the part that's connected to the chassis and replace? I've tried...

to start, my wife's 2001 mercury mountaineer is in need of upper ball joints. I plan on buying a kit off of ebay since i'm pretty well broke at this point. now for the question: it seems that when only taking off from a stop and the wheels are turned at the same time, there is a brief 1...

Just out of curiosity, how common are the 16" stock explorer/mountaineer rims? I own a 2001 mountaineer v8 awd, everywhere I go online to look at tires shows the stock rims as 15" and don't even show 16" as an option. obviously I can price them out with what's written on the sidewall, but I...

on rockauto.com they have some spider "red label" (or something like that) ball joints/control arm assemblies. They seem significantly less priced than the others, has anyone ever used these before, and are they any good? i don't want to buy something that's junk. this is for a 2001 mountaineer.

I've been looking around this site for a while today, looks very informative. I have a 2001 mountaineer and I have a feeling this site will be coming in very handy for repair work and general information. I also have a 93 lincoln towncar, but questions for that are for another site!
