2004 epedition door hinge cracks
How I fixed door hinge cracking In my case the inside hinge plate was separated from the skin enough to leave a gap between the two surfaces. I took off the inside door panel so I could have a look inside to make sure I would not drill through something I did not want to drill through. Then...- CR_Magruder

Attn: guys that have done a ZF swap
Here is how I did it on my 2003 with an M5R2 transmission. You need to get a wiring diagram for your 1999, then you should be able to do something similar. The diagram below is for the DTRS-- the digital transmission range switch. Hopefully you had something similar on your '99. The DTRS is...- CR_Magruder

Diesel swap
The most complete build-up thread is on the 4BTswaps.com site: 2003 Ford Expedition You have to create a user name and log in to see most of the pictures. I now have about 40,000 miles on the swap. So far, so good. CR- CR_Magruder

November EOTM: DIY Projects
CR_Magruder, Nov 2013 EOTM I swapped out the 5.4L gas-sucker in my 2003 EB for a 1980s era Cummins 4BT diesel-burner and manual trans. Did all the fab work, wiring, planning, and plumbing myself. I traded lunches for some machining. Take out the 5.4L: Insert 4BT: Add clean air...- CR_Magruder

Needs suggestion for 2003 expedition
So far, so good. It has been just over two years now. It is still a hoot to drive and the fuel savings is close to paying for the swap. The injector pump was leaking a little, so I took it off and re-sealed it with new o-rings. Kind of an intimidating job since I had never done one before. I...- CR_Magruder

Who has Children as an Expedition Owner
Four kids, the oldest is 19 and 6'-6", so we love the room. Here we are, finally at our destination of a family trip to pay homage to the worlds greediest mouse (aka Disneyland). Most of us are happy that we are finally at the hotel. One is not too happy about being in a photo, and sitting next...- CR_Magruder

Who Used their Expeditions to go and get a Christmas Tree?
Just did this today. $5 permit and our pick of trees less than 12' tall in the entire Deschutes National Forest. Great family activity!- CR_Magruder

If the Expedition had the following engine options, which would you choose?
Diesel is my first choice. Seemed like such a good idea that I went out and bought an Expedition with high miles and a good body to swap out the 5.4L for something more to my liking. Works for me! I don't know why Ford does not take the hint and put a small diesel in the Expedition and...- CR_Magruder

EOTM Theme for June: Most MODS!!!
CR_Magruder: June ETOM Submission Re-power mods should count... or so I'm thinking; maybe the moderators think differently, so I will defer to them. My Expy is stock "except" for being re-powered. Stock wheels, suspension, paint, sound system, etc.. Here is the list of mods done so far...- CR_Magruder

May Theme for EOTM
CR_Magruder; May EOTM; dirtiest OK, since there are so few entries I'm going to submit mine as the dirtiest since it will not meet the clean combustion requirements that all of your gas engines will meet. Well, most of them anyway. Besides, look at all that dust and the dashboard clutter!- CR_Magruder
