    headers

    does anyone know of a shop in Central Texas that would install headers in my 2004 Ford Expedition 4x4 SSV (police package)? thanks for your time. jg

    My Stock EB Expy to Overlanding 4X4 Build

    I've lost track of what thread I'm on, so this may not make a lot of sense. Someone, somewhere, did ask me to post updates as the work progresses. My next upgrade would have been the headers, a lift, underbody armor including rock sliders, moving the spare and installing an aux fuel tank, and a...

    Tuners

    I'm curious about shift points. I understand the advantages of changing the shift points, but what are the disadvantages? Does changing the shift points wear out the transmission sooner, or what?

    Special Service

    if you look up the VIN, it'll come back as an SSV. the so-called police package for the Expedition is mostly increased electrical capacity, wiring and cooling. BUT, finding a more capable alternator has been a chore. go figure. the brakes are bigger and the suspension has a higher payload...

    door jamb sticker codes

    i was very nice asking for help. i'm out of patience with time wasting answers like yours. don't post just to be online. if you don't add value, go away. being a moderator, super or otherwise, do not grant you superiority. or wisdom.

    Heavy Duty Radiator upgrade

    I'm especially bothered that Ford won't be clear and unambiguous about this. if there actually is a HD radiator upgrade option, then how is it different and what is the ordering information, including cost? if ford has one, then it knows this information. why not just say so?

    SCT tuner

    yes, but it's not tire size, it's "revolutions per mile". I forget where it is, but it wasn't hard to get to. As for SCT Tech Support, they do not actually have tech support. they do have tech "support" - apparently an abused skate boarder in an australian basement with one rotary dial phone...

    Shocking discovery about base curb weight - for true payload calculation

    obtw, - good decision on the VW with the hidden compartment. I've heard stories of police charging people who bought a car from the government, that had a hidden compartment in it, with some kind of law that forbids us common people from having compartments in our cars.... if anybody has more...

    SCT Tuner review

    my expy is my DD; I will eventually build and tow an offroad trailer, and I'm prepping it for offroad as a SHTF bugout vehicle. I would not recommend the tuner I got unless and until you're ready to make some significant improvements to the engine, such as headers, intake, heads, etc. Until...
