- 1998 Mountaineer 5.0 AWD
Just had to share. Had my '98 Mountaineer on a buddy's lift for about a month and a half to replace seemingly everything:
- New fuel system: new tank, fuel pump assembly, fill tube and hoses, and sprayed the lines out with carb cleaner. Oh, and new fuel filter.
- New rear leaf springs.
- The vehicle came from New Jersey and the rear driveshaft was so rusted thin I went ahead and found a better one from a salvage yard and put new u-joints on it.
- Reman AWD transfer case (Zumbrota)
- New front drive shaft. Picked up one of the cheap Chinesium $90 ones from eBay with a 3 year warranty. We will see how long it lasts, easy enough to swap out if it goes bad.
- Dropped the front diff assembly, cleaned, resealed front cover, and replaced CV seals.
- New Mevotech upper control arms and new adjustable hardware
- New Mevotech lower control arms/bushings
- New front sway bar endlinks
- New torsion bar isolator pads
- Drained trans pan, replaced filter, new fluid
- New motorcraft plugs and wires.
- Four new tires 245/60/R18
