    Lug nut removal

    “Ford Ugggh! nuts“. 2 remaining. Tin jacket on lug nuts: destroyed Multiple WD-40 soaks: done Hexagon shape: long gone This is the first time in my life that creating enough torque with a hammer/chisel didn’t work. Suggestions for my horror story?

    Transmission compatibility: 6R75 vs. 4R75E

    I was wondering if it would just work in gears 1-4. Thanks for the reply @JExpedition07

    Transmission compatibility: 6R75 vs. 4R75E

    Are these two transmissions swappable, by chance (i.e. will an Expy 6R75 work in an F-150 King Ranch of the same model year)?

    Lug nut removal

    I have same issue. I have been carefully chiseling off the tin jackets on the lugs that won’t budge, so I can get to the actual lug.

    Convert truck to mini-camper

    @Deano_1 et al., I’m making a towable camper. Removed all seats except I’m keeping the 3rd row. Cutting out front floor pan so, I can stand up on the ground (tarp protects for weather) and firewall (engine box is bed #1).

    Converting Expy to a hunting camper - idler wheels

    @sjwelds , any issue with bolting the rear wheels directly to the bearing/hub face (as opposed to the brake rotor face), you think? Looks like my wheels would just sit inboard a hair. Less inertia should be good :)

    12v switched radio

    @bobgriner , it looks like the Grey/Violet (i.e. GY/VT) wire in our factory harness (Connector C240A) is the “mystery feed” from our Smart Junction Box (SJB). See pic.

    Anyone got the the radio wiring diagram for a 2007 Expy Eddie Bauer?

    I just discovered that the State of Michigan gives public libraries free access to all automotive technical manuals (includes wiring diagrams). Go to your library and have a librarian pull them up for you. Gold mine!
