So once again after buying some Autozone wheel bearings I am in need of a new front driver side as it sounds like a freight train going down the road. I didn't use Timkin last time, but searching around I found a pair for under $100 at this site...

So here's my issue. I failed inspection due to a bad parking brake. I bought new shoes and springs etc, but when taking off i realized the main problem was where the cable connects on the parking break adjuster at the top. Looks like this was the problem that came with the truck as the pads were...

So I'm not really looking to upgrade or even replace if I don't have to but again I did not get past inspection for 1) parking brake not working and 2) muffler has a hole in it. The parking brake seems to be a quick easy fix. However the muffler looks to be a different story. It looks to be...

So I just brought my truck in for the MA state inspection and go figure, they checked the ball joints and tie rods. Aparently I need a new tie rod end on the Right side and a new lower ball joint on the left. RockAuto has a decent prices, but i know ball joints can be a pain to replace. Does...

:help: So here's my issue. Saturday night my ABS light came on. Thought that maybe it had something to do with the front pads since there was about 40,000 miles on them and the fluid was low. On monday as I was leaving work the ABS light didn't stay on. However, after coming to a complete...

Hey All, Thank god it's finally spring in New England! It's fun playing in the snow but the -10 weather is not my friend. So i know the u joints are ready to be replaced as it makes an ever so pleasant clunk when shifting from reverse to drive etc. I've tried to search for instructions...

So I ordered new plugs, wires, and coils from Rock Auto. The wires and plugs came in today. I order the platinum plus plugs and they sent me Bosch Platinum IR Fusion, aparently a better plug. I normally wouldn't complain at this time, but what i received was 4 plugs that are part 4504 and 4...

So I was getting a check engine light code P0442. I replaced the Purge Solenoid and it was running fine. Just to make sure there were no vaccum leaks i was letting it idle while i checked a bunch of the lines. All the sudden she stalled and when i went to start her back up the engine turned over...

I may be posting this in the wrong place and if so please feel free to move it around but driving into work this morning the Check Engine Light on. I'm a little weary about it because the last car I owned it was a transmission issue when the light came on (torque convertor). I guess what I'm...

So I've noticed I've got quite the sag in the rear and also leaning more on the drivers side as well as some noise in the front end from the shocks. I figure at 10 years old and 125000 miles its time to replace the suspension. What I need to know mainly for the rear is what needs to be replaced...

Hey all, So after a weekend of working on a the Mountaineer and having to use a sledge hammer to get the rear wheel off I've decided to consider getting new wheels rather than living with the corroded and now chipped factory style. I really like the factory style but after comparing costs...

Hey All, So I just picked up a Sirius Sportster 5 and set it up in my 2000 Mountaineer. It's currently hooked to the vents just over the head unit, but i really hate the way it looks. Does anyone else have pictures or suggestions as to a better mounting location? I do have it hooked into...

Hey all. Noob here. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for some trails to go off-roading on. I live on the south shore of Massachusetts about 30 minutes from boston. If anyone can help it'd be apprecaited. And yes, i've done some searches but nothing has really showed up. Maybe...

So little by little i'm trying to get my truck real clean. The one thing about the interior is it's leather. It's in pretty decent shape with the exception that it's absolutely filthy coming from a farm. what's the safest product to use? I've read on here mr clean magic eraser as well as...

Hey all I have been reading posts all night about this but I'm kind of looking for a quick definate answer. I have a 2000 mountaineer with the V8, Monterey package and I'm assuming the Mach audio system because I have the sub and I think 97 was the last year for the JBL. Anyway I have been...

So here's my issue. I noticed the gas pedal takes quite a bit of force to push down on. Sometimes I feel like by the time it finally goes down I've put so much pressure on it the truck is launchin forward. It's got the Big 5.0 V8 so I'm wondering of anyone else has had this issue. My first...

Hey all. Well I'm returing again after buying a lemon 1998 Explorer XLT 5.0 that ended up having a bad transmission. Needless to say never going to deal with those people again. I'm happy to report I've found a 2000 Mountaineer Monterey with a 5.0 in what I feel is good condition for the...

Hey all. Glad to be a part of a new motorist community. I recently picked up my truck this weekend as a dealer trade in for under trade in value. Couldn't be happier with it. However, (don't act like we all didn't know this was coming) maybe it's that I'm not used to an AWD vehicle, I notice...
