If anyone frequents the pick and pulls around Denver/Colorado Springs...keep an eye out for a serpentine setup on a 1996-2001 V8 Explorer or Mountaineer. I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Thanks. This one is right up near CAMResearch and also right by Golden Corral...might try to hit it up after the breakfast.

How much should I expect to pay at one of these places for the whole setup minus the water pump? There's a guy on CB.com that's selling the whole thing, minus the water pump for $300 shipped to CO.

300 certainly isn't a bargain

I am betting the P&P would be half that, if not less.

I might be hitting Stadium on Friday so I can ask.

Yea....I'm sure I can get it for less locally. Let me know what you see at Stadium...appreciate it.

I just spent two days at the 66th pick and pull last week pulling smog stuff, theres quite a few exploders sitting up there. I believe two 1992's a couple 1994's and a few more (as someone mentioned you can check the inventory on their site)... was looking to start pulling stuff for a serp as well.. if I head back up this weekend (they are open sat and sun.. ) I will post up. I will have to read up on what needs to be pulled for this as Iam still catching up ;)

As far as cost.. i would expect you would pay no more than $150 for that stuff..

Nice, thanks for the info. I have line on a setup from a member here but not sure on that yet. Here's what you need:

1996 - 2001 Explorer or Moutaineer V8

• Short timing cover and water pump with pulley
• Passenger side alternator bracket with tensioner and lower idler pulley
• Driver side power steering and A/C compressor bracket with upper idler pulley, power steering pump, and power steering reservoir
• Clutch and fan
All the bolts

so pretty much the front of the engine.. the more parts I could keep connected the better - they tend not to charge if the parts look like they belong there i have found ;)

ok i copied it to my phone.. if i head up there this weekend, which there is a strong possiblity i will post up.

Hit up Colorado Auto Parts Pick & Pull after the breakfast this morning. They had a few Explorers but no serpentine....there was one '97 Mountaineer and some of the brackets etc were on the ground...but missing some pulleys and other parts so not a very productive trip. Gonna try and hit up some of the other yards this week.

Thanks to Rox Crusher and a buddy.....they pulled the entire assembly from an Explorer at the Aurora Pick & Pull today. I just ran up there an got it. It's complete other than mounting bolts, the idler belt pulley, and the timing chain cover.
Thanks Guys!!

I may check that pick and pull I went to yesterday...but I did find the Ford part numbers and schematics for those bolts...
