It sounds like the battery may be going bad since it requires a lot of power to turn the starter, have you had it tested? You can do this at a local auto parts store. Let me know the outcome and whether you have any more questions.

What do I have to do to replace disc break drums
to start with there are no disc brake drums. There are disc rotors and brake drums and the two are as chalk and cheese. Most disc rotors just require the removal of the wheel and ( some have retaining screws for the wheel hub) pull the rotor off the hub. Off course you will have to remove the callipers before removing the disc
Brake drums on the other hand will require the removal of the wheel and loosing off of the brake adjustment. Some again have retaining screws /bolts and may require hitting the axle flange section of the drum to allow the drum to come off the axle studs. require . I strongly recommend that you get a workshop manual relevant for your vehicle before you think about doing it yourself.
Fuel gauge is not reading properly 2006 Mercury Mountaineer
Fuel gauges are not meant to be precision instruments. You might want to fill up a 2 gallon can and drive the car until it runs out of fuel to see how low the gauge will go before it's really empty. Use the 2 gallons to get back to a filling station.
I once spent three working days trying to get a 1972 Chrysler to read full when it's full, half when it's half and quarter tank when the tank has a quarter amount of fuel. The customer did not want to accept anything else, but in the end all I did was to get close, not exact.
It is possible that the fuel float in the gas tank is "drowned", that is, the plastic float might have a slow leak and some fuel found its way inside. This will cause the float to submerge slightly and give you a low reading. To check this you will have to remove the float unit from the tank.
In any case, if you feel up the job (not easy) remove the float unit from the tank and manually move it up and down while checking the meter reading. You can bend the wire holding the float to correct misreadings.
Personally, I wouldn't bother, just be aware that when the reading is low, feel safe that you still have enough fuel to get to the next filling station.
I have a 2006 mountanier, has there been a recall on the transmission?
A Mountaineer is not a van--it is an SUV
You go to a dealer-- to ask about recalls
I doubt there is any recall & the transmission is
almost 9 years old & about done
Time for a rebuild
$3,500.00 at a trans shop-- will get your going again
Start changing all your vehicles trans & power steering
fluids every 3 years
