mounty

1st post. Howdy folks. Please forgive my ignorance. This place is awesome and informative. Would a 98 Mounty motor work with a 97 Ford Eddie Bauer? V8 5.0 L? My EX gave out, worst knocking ever. Mechanic said a cylinder was down and no telling what else. Asked if I wanted him to look...

Hey gang, My Mounty's blower motor only blows on high. I pulled out the resistor, which I had replace about 2-3 years ago, and it looks pristine. I measured the resistance, and found that from any pin to any other pin there was zero resistance. I did this with the resistor disconnected from...

Is there a way to set when the doors will lock speed wise?

Well I'm posting here because my Mounty is slightly modded (welded thrush chambered muffler, 2 into 1 with 3" side pipe, and swiss cheesed lower air box). I bought the truck with 60,000 miles running really rough, poor idle, long cranking times, popping/sputtering/backfire through intake. I...

Hey All, I've had a jumping, popping and "ting"-ing sound in my Mounty when I turn R or L, and in Fwd. or Rev. for some time. Just now got some serious issues as a result. I've had some work done. Grinding, groaning, popping, "ting"- ing has returned after a week. I've been researching the...

My '01 EB has the usual rear wiper problem. I'm aware of the '02/'03 Sport hatch glass swap as a remedy, but is there a Mountaineer swap that will work? Does an '01 Mountaineer, for example, have the wiper included in the hatch glass? Just curious about options before going ahead with trying to...

So i just recently bought an 07 Mounty and pulled some of the old stereo equipment out of my old pilot and looking to install it here. can anyone tell me what the specs are on the stock amp? right now i work two jobs so time is limited and am prob gonna do the job in phases as far as...

Just bought my mounty a couple months ago and finally just got everything fixed on it that was wrong. I am starting to look for mods for 4x4. Right now all that is done is the LED instrument cluster and got some Grabber AT2s on it.

I'm getting ready to replace the lower intake manifold gaskets on a 1997 Mouny with the 5.0 V8 due to leaking coolant in the front driver's side. It's right at the corner, and around the most forward bolt that also holds the coil pack. Anything I should watch for? I didn't see anything in the...

I have a 98 Mounty with the 5.0 that is making a very loud electric whining sound. The sound gets louder at higher revolutions and quieter at lower. I have been trying to pin point it but am having quite a difficult time. I was told by an autoshop it was the alternator - when I replaced it the...

Few weeks ago wife complained of no heat. I checked and her overflow was very low. Brought it up to the cold fill line and got heat at all temp settings. Granted it was the same full blast heat at low and high, but will look at that when it is warmer out. Never did see where the coolant went...

Well since I have the donor Mounty at the house I decided to take the mirrors off and try them on the ST. Both trucks go to have the V8 swap next weekend. It is not a easy direct swap as it required wiring which I am not done with yet and the trim areas don't match up perfect.

Hearing on acceleration when doing at least 15mph a fluttering thup thup thup exhaust type sound coming from area of front passenger side. Thinking exhaust manifold leak which looks straight forward enough to repair, bolt off bolt on. But I have not yet gone looking. I suppose it could be...

I'll do my best to describe this to get the help... Has a weird slow turning over issue, as well as sometimes the key turns and nothing but then turn it right back and it will start. And now i can run the car for 10 min and drive to gas station after that, shut it down, and try to start right...

So wife called me at work and said the mounty won't start after a doctors appointment. This morning I started her car up since I saw she left the xm radio on (again) while we were away for the weekend. Thing fired right up. She had made a few stops prior the appointment without issue. Nothing...

Hello everyone I have 03 mounty 4.6. When im at a stop it idles rough but no rpm jump. When im driving it smooths out. I have no codes im going nuts trying to figure it out. I changed the plugs, oil, fuel filter, clean the IAC, sprayed around he vacuum areas. Any suggestions? ?????????

So I decided to sell the Mounty. I really wanted something nicer and newer. And I realized the rear main appears to be leaking a little, so good time to sell it before it gets bad. Hard to find cheap Aviators here in CO. Might have to broaden my search. I'd really like to find one with super...

Does anyone know I there's any difference in the front frame width between the 84 b2 and the 95-2001 mounty/Ex?

Back story purchased an 02 Mounty w/ a seized viscous coupling. Rear diff was cracked, front axle housing bushing shot. Have replaced both axle housings and all driveshaft from a used explorer.

Hi I have a question about the rear axle's in the 02-05 Mounty's that are Awd and have the 4.6l, do the Awd Mounty's have rear limited slip or open differential? What gear ratios where used in the Mountaineer with the 4.6? My Mother drives a 03 Explorer xlt 4.0 that has the 3.73 limited slip and...

I recently bought my mounty and it has Navigation and back up sensor warning/parking assist. My questions is it possible to replace the sensors with cameras and us the Navi dash to show the image? Do you have to use an aftermarket head unit? Thanks, Rob

I'm looking to sell my my wife's '97 V8 AWD Mounty soon and wanted to remove the gas tank skid plate to use it on my lifted '03 Sport Trac since the ST has a plastic gas tank. Can I just unbolt it without removing the gas tank, does it use the same straps/ bolts as the gas tank? Any help...

Hello all, here's my main question: What needs to be done to make a transmission from a 97 Mountaineer 5.0 work in a 98 Explorer 5.0? I have a 98 Explorer XLT 5.0. My transmission would not going forward or in reverse. I took it out and saw that the gears in the torque converter were wore...

Ive gotten everything to work but one little thing, and it's driving me crazy. I'm installing an Avital 5103 into a 97 Mounty with NO PATS. With the factory fob, if I'm outside the truck with all doors closed and press the lock button, the "theft" light comes on and the factory anti-theft is...

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...

wondering if its possible to swap an explorer 4x4 tcase into my 03 mountaineer AWD?

I just bought a 2002 Mountaineer for what I that was a really good deal. It wasn't running to well and had some codes in the computer, problem appeared to be the o2 sensor. So I buy it, get it home and start working on it. Buy a Bosch sensor, doesn't work right so I take it back and get an NTK...

Anyone happen to know the stock rear spring rate for a 98 5.0 AWD mounty??

My 2003 Mounty is leaking on one side axle seal. I had gotten an email from a local Ford dealer running a Black Friday special of 50% off labor on any service ticket written Black Friday AM from 0700-1000. I was there at 0715 to have both axle seals replaced. The service writer called about two...

I bought this truck about a year ago for dirt cheap just because I needed something for a little while, but now I've decided I want to fix it up and keep it running to use for towing and hauling. It's a 99 AWD 5.0 Mountaineer, 160k miles and full of it's own issues. Most of these are common...

I most likely will need to replace my RH sunvisor for my 2006 Mountaineer, as the mirror/light assy has become 90% detached from the visor itself. I haven't found anything specifically for the '06 model. I've found 7L2Z-7804104-GA as the correct item (RH, camel color, with sunroof)...
