Hi, my name is Sergio and I own two Ford Explorer. One in the US (manufactured in 1998) and one in Italy (manufactured in 1997.) Whenever I need fixing, finding a service in the US is not a problem. But when I have a problem with my Explorer in Italy, no one here is familiar with this car. I...

Im about to buy a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer with the V8 with 80k milles for $2,000. I already own a 1999 Ford explorer Eddie Bauer V8. Is the Mercury as good as the Explorer? Or they can give some other problems? Thanks! :salute:

So I was driving on some logging roads and my passenger side running board got scratched on some rocks. Does anyone know how much it costs to replace it at a dealer or if there's any better options. I have the Premier edition. Thanks!

As previously noted, I recently bought a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. It is in sound mechanical shape, with only 64K miles, but because it sat for a while the interior has some minor mold issues. However, I just met a guy who has a 97 Explorer that he is parting out, and the interior looks...

Hey whats going on guys,I kinda ran into a bad situation.I own a 06 mountaineer with the 4.6l v8. Its my daily driver to get back and forth to work. As of most of you already know that changing the spark plugs are a hassle. Well last night cly 8 started misfiring on me. I pulled the coil out...

I just bought a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. It was stationary for about six years before the guy I bought it from began driving it, so it only has 64,000 miles. There are some cosmetic stuff to work on, but it runs like a hoss. The one performance issue I seem to be having is a squeaky front...

So I have a 1998 V8 5.0 Mountaineer - AWD. It's completely stock except for the MAC Cold Air Intake. So a few weeks ago when i checked it was just throwing just a p0401 (insufficient flow). Now its throwing p0401 and p0402(excess flow). So I decided to do some tests on the EGR system. So here...

My '99 5.0 Mountaineer has not been taking the winter too well. Recently, I've noticed the infamous "chirp". The squeaking was really loud a few weeks ago but I JUST replaced the serpentine belt and it got rid of the noise for a while but these past few days have been in the teens down to the...

The fuel pump (as assumed by my husband) died on my 2004 Ford Explorer. With sending unit, the genuine Ford pump will cost $400 (discounted for employee). But... I found through a used auto parts lot, a gas tank, fuel pump and sending unit for $125. They said it is from a ford mountaineer. This...

Howdy gents, I am up here in Anchorage about to buy some front 01 Excursion Limited seats for my 97 Mountaineer. I know they're a little big, but not having a tape measuring device or the tools to take out my passenger side to test it out - does anybody know if they will fit? (possibly minus...

So I just finished putting the Warrior 153's on the back of my 1999 Mountaineer and it looks great but now the back sits higher than the front and I want to level it by using the Torsion Twist. I've soaked the bolts in PB an Deep Creep penetration lube and yanked on them with a breaker bar and...

Hello everyone, My name is Kam I'm 21 and a college student and amateur photographer. I currently drive a 1999 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0L V8 AWD and it's my baby. I've browsed these threads a few times before and they have REALLY helped me out! I hope to slap some upgrades on the mountaineer...

Ok, I've read a few of these before and a few of the how to guides ect. But it's a huge cluster of problems resulting from the drivers side door. At first (it must have seized) the drivers side key didnt turn really or you had to force it really hard, i'm assuming because of the use of the...

I have a 1998 5.0 Mountaineer. AWD. I have looked at many threads, and they all seem to almost answer my question... but not completely. I just bought a boat. The trailer is 910 pounds empty, and the dry weight of the boat is 2,800 pounds. So that puts me at a 3710 frequent tow job. A...

I have a '97 Mercury Mountaineer 2WD. It runs great esp. when cool or cold. However, when it warms up I have to get the RPMs up to 2500 and let off on the throttle before it will shift into all gears. There is intermittent times when it will shift fine when warm but I can't figure it out. It did...

My 5.0L awd Mountaineer won't start. I was at work, drove home and then later that night when I went back out it will not start. The only thing it is doing is when you turn the key it make one loud click coming from right inside the engine bay area in front of the drivers seat. Is it a bad starter?

Hey guys, I own a 2003 mercury mountaineer with 87000 miles. I have been hearing this grinding noise recently and a couple other things, ill describe them below so you can make the best educated guess. Grinding noise occurs under load the most, you can hear it when its in park (so its not...

I brought my 07 Mountaineer AWD Premier in July of last year and have always hated that ugly "brushed aluminum" grille and other various exterior accents. I have yet to find an aftermarket grille for this mountaineer which really irritated me. So thanks to BuckFlash and his step by step...
