    Productive Day today

    Right! I finished up the work on the Expedition, then went to fire up the grill. Bad idea. The temp dropped about 30 degrees in am matter of an hour, and the wind was nasty.

    I did some things over the past few days

    I just did my Overhead console today as well. Pretty easy....if you take your time. As far as the "Brown wire Mod" is considered, what exactly does that do? Do you have a link that you can post? I've heard of it, but when I do a search, it brings up a long list of posts mentioning it, but I...

    Overhead Compass and Temp Problem

    This forum is great! I'm always impressed by the knowledge that I find here when I have an issue. My 2002 overhead console display is out and this should be the fix I need. Thanks everyone.

    97 XLT 5.4 Starts, revs high, then dies

    Hello everyone, I have a 97 XLT with the 5.4L with 183,000 miles. I installed all new coils (Accel) and plugs about 30-35K miles ago. Yesterday I drove the truck all over, about 100 miles, and everything was fine. Today I tried to start it and it started, revved high, some where around 4K RPMs...

    Need some exhaust suggestions

    If I delete the rear cats, will that case any emissions issues? Are the rear o2 sensors still in use? I think I would like to do true duals for the most power and sound. What did it cost you to get that done?

    Headers on my 98 5.4L

    I bought shorty headers from summit last year and they came with new studs. Your's didn't? Maybe cause you bought them off ebay? Call summit directly, the studs should be pretty cheap. As far as installation, PAIN IN THE ASS! Take the wheel and tire off and the inner fender well, grab yourself...
