    Oil Pressure Gauge

    Change your sending unit. It's easy. BTW, that gauge does not show oil pressure. It acts only like a warning light - it's either in the middle or on zero. My bet is sending unit. It will take 15 minutes to change.

    leaking transfer case vs. Blue Devil oil stop leak product

    The transfer case in my 2000 Expedition LTX has been leaking for 10 years, but the repair would cost as much as a remanned new transfer case. My question is if anybody used the Blue Devil oil stop leak on a transfer case? The write up lists "gear cases" as one of the uses, but I do not want to...

    ac occasionally blows hot air in front but rear ac remains cold.

    Did you replace the heater core the same way, i.e via cutting into the box from the glove compartment? If yes, did you have to remove the air bag?

    2000 Expy broke both condenser bolts

    Maybe later. Tek screws worked for now. If they pull out, I'll come back with really long thin bolts and bolt it through the entire radiator support.

    2000 4.6L ac hoses and condenser replacement - what a PITA!

    There is not enough space between the bolt and the frame to fit ratchet. Had to use a small flat 10 mm wrench. It took 20 minutes to get that bolt.

    2000 4.6L ac hoses and condenser replacement - what a PITA!

    First, both condenser bolts broke off. fixed it by screwing condenser holders into the radiator support (on top). Now, I found out that to remove the manifold, the whole compressor needs to be unbolted. Not a problem, except I cannot get to the upper bolt. Simply not enough space for a ratchet...

    …1999 Expedition rear heater core bypass???

    makes sense. BUT, I would still get someone to fix it.

    …1999 Expedition rear heater core bypass???

    I understand all that, and yes, replacing the FRONT core costs you over a $1,000. But replacing the rear heater core (or hoses) is VERY easy and can be done really fast. I think the rear core cost me $40, and it took 90 minutes to replace. I'm not mocking you, just telling you that replacing it...

    2000 Expy broke both condenser bolts

    OK, overdrilling the bolts did not work. I drilled holes in brackets below the bolt holes. Tomorrow, I will drill them in the radiator support (where the original reinforced holes were), and will try attaching with tek screws and strengthen with zip ties. And pray.

    Anybody has bright idea or three? other than overdrilling the bolts...

    …1999 Expedition rear heater core bypass???

    Why wouldn't you fix it? I replaced the rear heater core and it took 90 minutes start to finish. In the dark. Outside. Probably easier and faster to fix the leak than to try bypassing.

    2000 4WD 4.6 L - AC condenser removal

    Hi! Is there anything attaching/holding the SC condenser at the bottom? Or does it just sit in a tray/holders?
