mounty

Just put some 31s on my mounty and wanted to know how to correct the speedo? Earlier models had the little gears you change out T-case but the 2000 has a VSS doesn't it? I have a high end code reader/tool.

Whats up everyone. Names jeff. In the florida keys. I picked up a 99 mounty last year. Its a 5.0 awd truck. Its been amazing. Makes frequent trips from the keys to miami. And it made the drive all the way back from NY state. Anyway, im starting to have trouble with the awd setup. It was popping...

Main thing I have no idea about is the make model of oil filter? I don't need a crazy expensive one I spose if I am changing oil often? Model is what I need mainly. Guess OEM Motorcraft? would be good? I got a black friday 3ton floor jack and 6 ton jackstands so its time to start doing 3-5K...

Why would I start in getting a remote start for my mountie? Is there any of these models in this generation that came with remote start or how did that's an option? Is it something that I would just go to a shop for or something that's pretty easily installed? It's going to get colder and colder...

I've recently retired from work, so I've decided to take a road trip of a lifetime from NY to Alaska...with a 20 yo 315k car. It's impeccably maintained, so I had no worries about doing so, but only recently started hearing the putt-putt-putt of an exhaust manifold leak. It's not normally...

I need help, I’ve gone through the “Explorer no start checklist” and figured out my engine light doesn’t work, but get 4.5 volts at TPS, so how can I check the crank sensor? If I start truck and still get 4 volts at TPS, does that mean crank sensor is good? And is it normal for crank sensor to...

First mod that I want to do is just get it sounding a bit nicer, Im in NC and I dont think we have emissions testing anymore. Would an exhaust shop gut or delete my rear cats? Would love a cam just to get it sounding a little loopey. I thought it was tight in there and read on here that the...

97 Mounty 5L 80K miles Recently had a shop change noisy pulley. No belt change. It started on the way back from a 1100 mile journey NC to NYC via DC. Lots of times when I needed WOT to get the ol trooper up to speed merging etc. It happens on acceleration up hills and when lifting off like in...

2000 Mounty. 396,x.. miles on original motor. Been using 5W-30 Mobil 1 and Mobil 1 filters since new. Since 200,000 miles have used Mobil 1 "High Mileage" 5W-30. I now have 395,x.. miles on original motor. Changed oil and filter (M301) today. Never noticed I'd bought 5W-20 until I was all...

We are having a problem with the power seat in our 2001 Mountaineer. At first we thought it was the switch, but turns out that that isn't the problem. The motor tries to move the seat but it acts like it is in a bind and only moves half the time. Tried oiling the tracks, but didn't help much...

I finally got a 302 donor for my '00 Sport! Before I start hacking away though, I had some thoughts go through my head: 1. AWD really does handle nice on gravel country roads. 2. There's a lot I want to replace on this 302 that I could do before I pull it out of the Mounty. 3. Although the body...

Thinking about trying a custom tune. Has anyone here done this and if so what were your results? Was wondering what supporting mods would be needed. The tuner and tune are like 500. Is it something worth doing ? Thanks

No pix yet but shd have some soon - If I cant get it back to SC one of us in Fla needs a bunch off it - All I know is it went into ditch HARD - I will update ASAP

Hello all… i recently bought a 99 Ranger 3.0 4x4 auto with RC lift. I was gonna DD until my F250 gets back from the body shop, then do an SAS with SD axles. Then the trans went out. I am not a fan of the 6 cyl autos, so i had the idea of getting a cheap 5.0 Ex and doing a V8 swap and the SD...

A friend of mine has been trying to sell a '95 Mustang (SN95) roller (does not run) that he thought was a true Cobra vehicle for a while... so I took a close look at the receipts, decoded the VIN, and discovered that it's not a Cobra, but a GT. Not wanting to dismantle something somewhat rare...

Hi all Never seen 4 gen Explorer with Mounty led tails So decided to purchase in ebay pair of used Mounty led tails. 1.Hate this chrome bezels so - painted with Rustoleum matte black: By the way if you have these strange kind of tail light with Russia sticker on,you also will need to get a...

I have my excellent running 2000 5.0 AWD mounty. lol well, it WAS running excellent. I noticed a trans leak a while back but I put trans fix in it since i wanted to keep driving it and planned to pull it for a full performance rebuild anyway, just not yet. Coming home one eve it almost...

All new shocks, front sway bar bushings and end links replaced last week. Looks like the rear is sagging a bit. The factory springs in this '98 are F-code. I found a post on this site with some specs about the various springs available. (Replacing Leaf Springs?) Being a typical guy I don't want...

How does the A-pillar trim come off? I am trying to run a wire for an aftermarket head unit's microphone. I have it run under the dash, above the pedals then up between the driver's door and dash. I want to tuck it under the A-pillar trim so that it will clip above the side window. I can just...

About to go camping with my family tomorrow and noticed that I have broken the factory passenger rear support on the factory rack (2000 Mountaineer). I have a Yakima Megawarrior attached to the factory crossbars, but the writing is now on the wall. Does anyone make a very sturdy setup, all...

Engine cranks but won't start when hot. Not a battery problem, not a starter problem. Just replaced ECT sensor and fuel pump. New Motorcraft parts. Runs great when it does start. Sometimes it starts when hot if I cycle the key to run to prime the fuel pump then to off a few times, then try to...

I started building a 00 xlt explorer but the more I fixed the more I FOUND that needed to be fixed. So I bought my neighbors 97 Mountaineer for $300 and started over. I hope someone beside me finds it enjoyable to look at. 3" body lift, warrior shackles, TT, AAL and 34x10.50-15 Super Swampers.

I just put in a camshaft synchronizer and now I'm having a lot of problems with the transmission. It seems like it's starting and staying in 2nd gear. It's a 98' with the 5.0. plus the engine still is running like crap.

Rides very nice, lots of new parts, even the fuel filler neck.. 100K ish. It has a stubborn P0402, and the cats looks new. They will replace the cat but we all know that probably won't solve it. I doubt very much it is the cats. Looks like someone put in a ton of parts and traded it in from...

my mounty t-case is going bad. I hate the way it functions anyway (wheel slip on wet pavement and you hear clunking and feel lurching). I also like the 4WD lo option. Unfortunately here in the upper midwest, 4WD is a necessity in the winter. How difficult would it be to put an Explorer T-case...

I'm going to do my best explaining my problem so please bear with me. So i'm getting this problem from my front end where every time i accelerate decently hard off the line, I feel some banging. Another time i feel it is when i'm making a left turn and accelerating, however when i make a right...

The trans in my Mounty (332,477 milers) works well. No 2-3 flare. No reverse hesitation or weak backing up hills. Upshifts/downshifts good. I got the truck at 285,000 miles from orig owner. Don't know if trans is orig or not. Have chance to get 1998 EB Explorer (202,000) miles. Pics...

Went to change my brakes on the mounty and used a 3/8, it stripped and rounded the bleeder screw!!!! Now its a real SOB of a job as I have to get the rounded screw off one caliper. The other 3 are really rusty. Is it a 10MM?

Does anyone know what the differences are between the Explorer/Mountaineer short block vs the Aviator short block? Is it just the forged crank?

I have to replace the exhaust system on my '99 Mounty. 5.0. I found a reasonably priced, direct replacement full exhaust from Rockauto, but I can't seem to find any direct fit muffler choices for a slightly more aggressive than stock sound. I don't want to remove the cats or anything other than...

Noise coming from the front while driving - a bit of humming while driving straight which gets gets louder when I'm turning right (whumpm whump, whump) and then humming when I'm turning left... I say it's the right CV, mechanic says replace wheel hub. 06 Mounty 4.6 AWD Any ideas before I spend...

Is it possible to swap an '03 Mountaineer gauge cluster (white face, with message center) into a 2nd Gen?

I've got a 99 explorer (XLT, I think) I'm driving that needs new speakers. I also have a wrecked 98 or 99 mounty that apparently has the Mach system. I'd like to know if I can swap the amp and sub from the mounty into the explorer. I'm guessing the explorer does not have the correct harness...

Might be around here somewhere but cant find exactly what im looking for. I see the 2006-2010 explorer 4.6 has a intake system but when I go to pull up a 4.6 mountaineer it only gives the stock air filter but in K&N. Is there something in the mountaineer that would not allow the Explorer...

So I really like the mountaineer front end of the later models, and I've been reading up on it, just to be clear, all I have to do is get a header panel from a mounts and the grille and headlights, and that's all there is to it? Also has anybody dont this, is there a thread, I've got a 95 explorer

My cruise control isn't working, no surprise there it seems. Has never worked in my ownership. Replaced the cutoff switch and still nothing. I found a post on Ford Forums Online http://www.fordforumsonline.com/threads/self-test-cruise-control-check-engine.1486/ with the cruise control self...

Hey all, Took the mounty on a camping trip last weekend. Drove ~9 hours over two days and parked it for a few days, when I tried to start it I got no battery click and no crank. Jumping it didn't seem to help but she finally fired up after turning the key off/on for a few minutes. She ran...

Anyone have a clue? Daughters car, V-8 approx. 150k, been running fine, started problem yesterday, starts up fine, but all warning lights are on, and message center displaying long list of codes and computer jargon, ends with check telltales???? Reset with scan tool, everything seemed normal...

I was going through my photos and found this one of a Black Mountaineer with dual exhaust. Anyone know who's truck this is and if there anymore photos out there of it. Trying to decide on what sort of pipes and placement.

2005 2WD 4.0 V6 5 speed automatic Mountaineer with 125K miles My wife's rig started having problems with reverse a couple weeks ago. She mentioned it but I didn't really pay much attention to it. The other day I went to use her Mounty to back a small trailer up our driveway and found that her...
