Stock suspension rebuild a DIY?
I did a quick search before posting this and only found one thread that was related but it didn't fully answer my questions. I have a 97 xlt w/o air ride and I'm thinking about doing a total suspension rebuild (front and rear) including bushings, shocks, ball joints, tie rods, etc. I've read...- 97ExpGuy

6 CD Changer
Does your '99 radio/head unit have an actual button that says CD on it or an option to switch to the CD input? If so, and the connectors match, I don't see why it wouldn't work. On the 97 & 98 models, we actually had a CD button on the head unit. However, I wouldn't pay too much for the unit...- 97ExpGuy

'98 Expedition 5.4 Code P0171
This code for me was an O2 sensor. You need to find out which one though since there are four.- 97ExpGuy

stock axles
Just open your driver's side door and look at the tag. It will list the Axle code on there and will let you know what gear ratio you have and whether or not it is limited slip. As an EB, more than likely it is LS in the rear in a 9.75" housing but you won't know the ratio until you get the tag code.- 97ExpGuy

Ground Wire
Really? Is it a heat issue with the factory ground cable after upgrading the sound system? Just a thought: Wouldn't grounding to a bolt that secures the back seats to the floor be acceptable as well?- 97ExpGuy

spark plug got spit out
As long as the insert is an actual machine insert and not a helicoil you'll be good to go. If you decide to change the plugs yourself be sure to post here or PM me. I've done the job twice and know the difficult areas and solutions to doing the job. And realistically I'd be glad you have the...- 97ExpGuy

spark plug got spit out
I disagree somewhat. A proper tune-up will include new plugs and coils. And with new coils, the boots and springs should be replaced with new as well. However, you can get away with just changing the plugs. Did you change them yourself or have a shop do the work? If so I'd quit driving the...- 97ExpGuy

spark plug got spit out
The only way you are going to know is if you can re-thread the spark plug back in the head or inspect the threads yourself. Inspecting them by sight is a bit challenging because you will need to use a mirror and a bright light. Even then you may not be able to see the threads well. Another...- 97ExpGuy

Door Speaker Suggestions
I have Infinity Reference speakers with the swiveling tweeters in the front and back doors and have been very pleased and quite content with the sound quality and available bass. Any aftermarket speakers will be an upgrade to the factory 6x8s - especially when driven with an aftermarket headunit...- 97ExpGuy

Just bought a 1998 Expy E.B
That's all in a used car. I found and old french fry and crumbles of food around the driver's seat after I bought mine. It might be worth your time to remove the center console and get access to the carpet underneath and around it. There's a guide on this forum on how to remove it (less than 10...- 97ExpGuy
