    Ran out of gas. Is fuel pump damaged?

    Looks like I need a special tool to remove the fuel filter.

    Ran out of gas. Is fuel pump damaged?

    I ran out of gas, is fuel pump heat damaged? Or can they withstand this happening a time or two? My 1998 ford Expedition is running fine after it was refilled. I was literally 20 feet from the pumps. I got out, pushed it in and had gas flowing in less than a minute from when it ran out...

    What oil weights can you run?

    Thanks 87! Anyone else have experiences with slightly thicker oil? Positive or negative I would appreciate hearing them, thanks.

    What oil weights can you run?

    I looked back at the previous owners records and I see the Exp. has had Pennzoil 10-30 its entire life. I know the '98 owners manual specs 5-30 (not 5-20), so, 10-30 "should" be fine. I am thinking in my climate and with my driving style I can use 10-30 for our very mild "winter", and maybe I...

    What oil weights can you run?

    I got a ton of oil almost free from a convenience store close out. Over 200 quarts! So, out of my huge selection of oils, what can I safely run in my 4.6L 1998 Expedition? I have 5-30's, 10-30's, 10-40's, 15-40's, 20-50's, SAE 30's, and SAE 40's. I need to use up the 5-30's in my newer...

    Synthetic oil extended interval

    NP is a good choice for extended intervals, N gold works well too up to 7500 miles.

    MPG difference between 4.6 2WD and 5.4 4x4?

    Please do. I will be quite interested in your findings. BTW, how fast do you intend to cruise at?

    MPG difference between 4.6 2WD and 5.4 4x4?

    My '98 will be coming out of storage soon. I will drive it 80 mile round trips, 4X a week, all highway interstate. After the initial tank of old Stabil treated gas burns out, I will clock a few fills and see if the 4.6 2WD on a steady 70mph cruise across open flat land can deliver upper teens...

    MPG difference between 4.6 2WD and 5.4 4x4?

    I am just curious, how much difference in MPG's between a 4.6 2wd and a 5.4 4x4? Thanks.

    97 XLT engine and transmission rebuild/replace options?

    Get rid of it ASAP! Don't dump good money into an OLD truck. Even with a new drivetrain, the rest of it is worn out. Sell it and step up into a newer ride.

    Just for fun, a what would you do question!

    Buy two tanks of gas.

    New to me 1998 XLT

    Thank you all. Its been in storage, with 2X Stabil in the gas, and its started and ran up to temp 20min. every other month. When I bring it out, I am going to run out all the old gas and put double dose of Regane in the tank. Does the 3rd seat remove? If so I'll take it out, air all the tires to...

    New to me 1998 XLT

    Hello all, I am new to this forum, and looking to learn about my "new to me" 98 XLT. It was my MIL's car, who, well, drove it like an old lady for years. She puttered around maybe once a week, so, the truck has low mileage at 115K. Its a base model with the 4.6. The oil has been changed very...
