    P2198 after all new O2's and Cats

    Thanks guys. I thought I'd read something about the dummy light coming on after deleting the rear cats but it's been a bit so I wasn't sure. No emissions tests thankfully as I'm in Ohio. Moose, as far as I can tell there isn't any exhaust leaks , I'm going to climb under and take a look. It's...

    P2198 after all new O2's and Cats

    So, I love my Expy but the wife is starting to get frustrated with putting money into it. about a month ago we had the local shop cut all four cats off, weld up two new fronts and delete the two rears as well as change all four O2 sensors. It ran amazing and still seems to be but this morning...

    Do I need a steering stabilizer?

    Figured I'd post an update just in case others might think they can save a few bucks and get by doing an alignment themselves. Save your time and have a shop do it. Had it done professionally and the front end feels better than it did when we got it a few years ago. Thanks again @Hamfisted for...

    Do I need a steering stabilizer?

    Thanks for the quick input Ham, I've been thinking about taking it in, just wanted to see if anyone thought it could be anything else first.

    Do I need a steering stabilizer?

    So, I replaced the upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods and sway bar linkage on both sides about 7 months or so ago. Now it feels like every time I hit a bump or pothole my expy wants to drive itself off the road or into oncoming traffic. It also seems to want to drift left or...

    2003 EB Expedition help with overhead DVD player

    I had asked a similar question a few years back. My problem tho was that the dvd in the overhead unit wouldn't eject but the Kenwood head unit i installed in the dash had dvd. I ended up running my own wires from the Kenwood and just hooked the rca's into the aux input on the overhead unit. My...

    P2195 P2197 rough idle after warm up

    I kept the original hard line, just made my own boots or elbows or whatever their called. The hose I made the elbows with is thicker than what the factory had on it so should be just as good, if not better.

    P2195 P2197 rough idle after warm up

    Instead of replacing the boots on the vacuum hose with boots, the only store that listed them close was out, I just bought some heater hose with elbows bent on the end. It ended up not being as tight a fit as it should've been so I put hose clamps on it. I then followed this YouTube vid to...

    P2195 P2197 rough idle after warm up

    I hillbilly smoked it with a cigarette thru the brake booster line. Is there another route that would be a straighter shot to the intake?

    P2195 P2197 rough idle after warm up

    Well I replaced the elbows and it's not wanting to die no but still idling rough while in gear. It's idling around 7k when in park and doesn't seem to go down any when in gear but almost seems like a miss and the exhaust smells horrible. Gonna borrow a friends code reader later today and see...

    P2195 P2197 rough idle after warm up

    I smoked it and the elbows on the line running from the passenger side valve cover are shot also. Hopefully I can get my hands on a couple today. Thanks again for the info guys.

    P2195 P2197 rough idle after warm up

    Hello all, my 03 4.6 has had a rough idle after warming up for months now, at first it was barely noticeable but all of a sudden it went from barely noticeable to the point of wanting to die at idle. A few days ago the CEL came on with P2195 and P2197. It's fine for about 3 minutes after the...

    03 XLT Standard Suspension

    Hey everyone, just wondering if there is two different sizes of upper control arms on the 03 XLTs? I ordered a suspension kit and didn't measure the control arms. The listing said standard suspension 9 1/2" bushing to bushing. I got the stuff and the control arms are not wide enough. Everything...
