    Broken Motor Mount?

    Hi, I have an '04 Expy (4.6). When I was changing my oil I saw what looks like a broken motor mount. It's on the drivers side and I believe it is under the exhaust manifold. You can see where it looks like there was a part of the mount that poked through and the hole is clean like it happened...

    Tires

    I like my BFG's. If you get some, make sure you get the TA KO's, not the regular all terrains. I have a little over 70,000 miles on my current set and they look like they will probably last another 10,000. I drive slow though, so that's probably why I get so many miles out of my tires. I keep...

    03 molding

    I've been wanting to paint mine but what bugs me is that I see alot the panels on the doors (mine included) that are warped. It looks crappy to me to have warped, painted moldings. I've been thinking about getting the paintable moldings just for my doors and possibly the small pieces next to...

    removing cats questions

    I'm not sure if it will work the same on an Expedition, but on my Saturn I just removed the 1st o2 sensor (the one before the 1st cat). My saturn had very little power, wouldn't go over 30 mph, the rpms bounced around, and it stalled once. I removed the first o2 sensor and it drove great...

    30 mph and less

    My Saturn was acting the same way and was also low on power. I finally figured out it was my catalytic converter. Try pulling out your front o2 sensors and see if it solves your problem. Don't drive around too much with the o2 sensor out though because it will run rich. A clogged fuel filter...

    Help, I'm colorblind

    That's what I was thinking. Maybe too much sun fades them turns them green. Nothing else really makes sense. Thanks

    Help, I'm colorblind

    Hi, I am colorblind to greygreen. If I remember right, something like 3 out of 5 males are also. I want to replace my grey leather center console lid for my 2004 Expy. I found an add selling a grey lid that said it is actually olive green up close. Ford ONLY put out grey and tan, right? Are...

    Airbag light - new seats

    I figured it out. In case anyone else has this problem, heres the solution. if the seats your installing were in an accident, the seat belts latches were extended. If you swap the seat belt latches, the airbag light goes out.

    Airbag light - new seats

    Hi, I have a 2004 Expedition XLS. I bought a set of leather seats on Ebay to replace my cloth ones w/ the 60/40 in the front. After installing the seats and connecting the plugs, which matched up, I now have an airbag light warning. It blinks 3 times a few times and then stays on. Are the...

    PCV Valve Replacement

    I don't know about the op's 5.4, but the 2004 4.6 has a PCV valve. Autozone just doesn't have one that they sell. Check on Napa's site or on a Ford part site.

    Early build or Late build?

    Hi, I have an '04 Expedition built in 11/03. I want to flush my coolant and I found that early and late build have different capacities. If I remember right from when I bought fog lights, the cut off was around March? Is an Expedition built in 11/03 an early build or late build '04? Thanks

    Ford Expedition Rollover video.

    Rollover I knew a guy that rolled an old Suburban and the roof was smashed all the way to the steering wheel. He lived because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt and was thrown in the back. I'm suprized at how well the Expy held up. I bought my '04 because it had the best crash test ratings that...

    265 70 r17

    I got BFG all terrain TA/KO's when I had 6,000 miles. They now have 67,000 miles on them and I think I'll get around 80,000 out of them. I drive slow though. Easy accelerating and easy on the turns. I had the same tires on a Jeep Wrangler that I would use to go rock crawling. You can tear...

    best way to change spark plugs??

    I replaced my plugs and boots at 70,000 miles and I figured I'd change them out + the coils at 140,000 Do you guy's replace the coils every time you change the plugs? BTW, the pics on Ebay show the coils w/ the boots attached but the descriptions all say that you are buying the coils and don't...

    Cladding, black trim, etc.

    I've used a few different products. The best I've tried yet that blew me away how awesome it is you can find at chemicalguys.com in the vinyl and tire dressings and it's called Extreme V.R.P. Dressing. It's unbelievable how one thin layer looks so good. After putting on a second layer i was so...
