OK so i have an 02 mountaineer AWD 4.0L i had to remove the front drive shaft to diagnois a problem. i believe the vairious coupling in transfer case went out. my question is WIll IT HARM THE CAR DRIVING WITHOUT FRONT DRIVE SHAFT FOR A FEW MONTHS UNTIL I GET MONEY TO FIX IT. IM GOING ON A TRIP ITS ONLY ABOUT A 350 MILE DRIVE. BUT I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF ITS GOING TO HARM THE CAR????? THANKS

Interesting. When I started up the Explorer after work today the "Service Engine Soon" light turned itself off. Cool.

Well did you have an ABS light on while it was happening? Apparently there has been a rash of bad sensors on new hubs. You can read about them on some other threads. Maybe bad from handling I don't know. You should try swapping your old ABS sensors onto the new hubs and give that a try.

There are lift kits available(strut spacers and body lift) Many have done it and so can you If you are looking to modify your ex/mounty, ask questions in the modified section.(search is also a #1 thing) Welcome and good luck!!! Below are stickys from the modified section. Spacers- http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/...d.php?t=223741 Body lift- http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/...d.php?t=219234

no additive here is that post http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/...d.php?t=258015 great links in there if you haven't found it

the abs light is on r a reason. get the codes pulled to find out why its on. everytime you shut the truck off the system resets. if its on evrytime you key on then the truck is still seeing the problem. when abs light is on it disengages 4wd. it siunds like your having a problem with the 4wd module. do searches on here. someone ran a new ground from the tranfer case to the frame and fixed the problem your having. good luck

I have been tossing that idea around as well. I had my rear diff seal blow out on me at the beginning of the year. I was hauling a boat to Arkansas when it happened. I had read a post about front diff bearings going out. As hunting season is upon me that check will have to wait.

Posting here too for others to check on... I just got a re-call notice for my 04 for this part. (sensor on master cylinder) The letter said if I have replaced it already - I would get reimbursed . I replaced it last year for about $20

That's totally correct. With Remans they usually only fix what's broken. Always go new, unless you are about to sell.
