    Advice on Exhaust Mani Replacement?

    Hey fellow Expy drivers, my 97 Expy has developed a pass side exhaust leak and after further inspection I saw that one of the studs broke off on the manifold. The manis look bad so I figure im just gonna replace them both to save myself time later on down the road. Any advice on what I should...

    Hey say what you want, but all I know is when Clinton was in office, gas was a $1 and some change a gal, when Bush came along the country got hit with 9/11, went to war, economy got thrown out of wack, and gas prices sky rocketed!!

    Cold Air Intake

    I like mines!! I went with the Chrome so my Beast would look good when I popped the hood. You will notice slight increases in HP and acceleration but nothing major. Like others have said a intake alone is not enough to get major increases but its a piece of the puzzle when it comes to gaining...

    Eddie bauer molding does it come off?

    Yeah I think there are holes. You can always pull one off and if it does have holes just reapply it using some double sided 3m tape or moulding adhesive.

    99 4.6l Running Rough

    You get the best results from Seafoam when you inject it through your brake booster line. Adding it to the fuel tank does clean injectors and stuff, but you almost feel an instant difference when you add it through your booster line. Plus thats how you get the famous Seafoam cloud of smoke!!

    Just Brought 98 EB $500 With Engine Noise

    Thanks for all the input guys. It doesnt sound like a tick, my XLT had an exhaust leak so I know that sound. When I had the oil changed today, I had them inspect the oil and they said it looked great and didnt find any shavings. Does the dreaded piston slap sound this bad? This clanking/knocking...

    Just Brought 98 EB $500 With Engine Noise

    Thanks guys. Engine is a 5.4L with 106K on it. Like I said the truck runs great, accelerates good, but that knocking noise just drives me crazy. I will invest in a stethoscope and try to pin point the exact location of the noise. It definetely sounds louder towards the bottom of the engine but...

    Just Brought 98 EB $500 With Engine Noise

    Hey guys I just picked up another 98 Eddie Bauer for $500 bucks from this old lady but it has some engine noise. I made a video and was wondering if you guys could take a look at it and tell me what you think the problem is. If need be, I know a place that will rebuild it for about $1800 bucks...

    Just Painted My Lower Valance

    I think the paint codes are the same. I only found one exterior paint code on the door jam so im guessing they are the same. But if you had a Eddie Bauer it would probably have two different codes for the body paint and another one for the trim pieces if the trim is a different color than the...
