- 1998 Mountaineer
I'm having a guy swap the whole drivetrain, V8, transmission and AWD T-case, rear axle and front 3rd member from a 1998 Mountaineer into a 2002 4x4 Sport Trac.
The final piece of the puzzle is getting the speedometer to work. It only gets one code P0500 which is it doesn't like something about the speed sensor. I cleared the code and drove around the block. Still no speedo but the light didn't didn't come back on.
The rear axle sensor is new, the Mountaineer used only that sensor. The transfer case in it also had a sensor but it of course wasn't being used. I replaced it a while ago with a good used one rather than replace the worn out chain. (The yards all wanted more $ for ones without the speed sensor.)
ABS light is not on. Didn't swap ABS pumps from the Mountaineer. The tachometer wire switch for V8 was simple.
Got any ideas, I'll print them out and take them to the guy, his only internet access right now is on a little smartphone.
It's going to be such a nice rig. I used a GPS HUD app on my phone and at 2000 RPM it's going 65. Runs great, just can't tell how fast it's going without a GPS and the odometer and cruise control don't work. I think he did swap the cruise control unit over.
Rear disc brakes will be nice and I got a pair of NOS earlier model Explorer badges with V8 ALL WHEEL DRIVE to stick on the fenders.
