    Torsion Bar Questions...

    Where did my sound go?

    Hi all, I had a system in my Excursion that is almost identical to the one I have now in my Expy. Yet I am not getting the full range of bass "tones" I used to get. The hard hitting, low bass, and the "midrange" bass are fine, but in a rolling bass song, I just won't get the right sound...

    Need a lift in NJ!

    Alright, I've had a 3in. body lift kit in the backseat of my 98 EB for about 2 months now, and I can't stand it. I've been hunting for a good shop, but everyone is gouging me...the prices are insane. Anyone know a good, inexpensive place? Or want to make some money and do it themselves?

    A/C sensor...where is it!?

    I have no A/C in my 1998 EB 5.4L. The fuses are good, the lines in and out have pressure, the schrader valves aren't leaking, and the compressor pulley will turn for a second and a half, then stop for a full second...continuously while the A/C is switched on. My Dad, who was a Dodge mechanic...

    Ticking while warming up/accelerating

    Hey all, my 98 EB will every once in a while tick while I'm warming it up, then tick faster while I accelerate. This only lasts for about 200 feet, then stops for the rest of time I'm driving. Should I be worried? BTW the fluids are all normal and brand new oil. Thanks

    To all 5.4L guys. a warning from my mechanic

    I've heard a few people tell me this happened to them, and now my mechanic basically promised me it is an inevitable problem. supposedly after about 150k miles, Ford's 5.4L engines,from 1997-2001 will blow spark plugs out of the head. He said my best bet is to get the best plugs I can find, get...

    Rusty rocker panel/door fix?

    Hi all, Quick question. I have a pretty bad rust problem with my rocker panels, wheel wells (fenders) and when you open the doors, the metal "step up." I am going to cut out the rust, grind it all down, and bondo/paint it. But I was noticing that most later model XLT/EB's have plastic fender...

    Maaco Paint Job?

    Hey all, Maaco is offering a $300 "royal" paint job in my area. It includes primer, paint, clearcoat. I know they just tape up the car, and don't paint each part individually. Which is fine w me. My question is, has anyone seen or experienced Maaco's paint jobs? Is it going to peel off at the...

    Need a lift! '97 XLT

    Hey all, I want to get a 3 or 4 inch lift on my Expy but have a few questions. Can I buy the lift kit and bring it to my body shop for them to put it on rather than paying more for buying it through them, or is that a bad idea? Is there a kit to be avoided, like some bargain basement one that...

    DIY third row seating

    A while ago someone had asked about installing third row seating in their expy. I have a '97 and found the seat and mounting brackets from 2 separate sellers on ebay. I pulled up the carpet in the cargo area and saw that the floor already had loong ovals where the metal is usually cut out at the...

    Engine Ground and Blown Fuses

    Hey guys, Got a big problem here. I keep blowing 30A fuses in my fuse panel. 3 different fuses that do not effect the performance of the truck as far as I can tell. I have heard that if the engine "ground straps" have corroded or rusted, the engine not being grounded will blow fuses. Is this...

    Chips/Shift Kit will it save my trans?

    Hi all, I've heard the electronic shift regulators, the ones you can set to shift at a certain point, are the miracle way to save your transmission. Ford being Ford, I know the trans will be a problem almost as quickly as it would be if I owned a Dodge, so i want to do everything I can to save...

    Can't tell which wire is NEG/POS on speaker wires

    Hi guys, I just installed 4 Alpine Type 'S' 5x8 speakers in my 1997 4.6L, but the color coding on the wires is really odd. Each door has it's own color system, blue w/ white line, yellow w/ green line, etc. I know usually the wire with the line is ground, but all the wires have lines. I'm...

    NO power going uphill, truck holding back

    Hi all, My 1997 4.6L XLT just is not happy. When I am going uphill, I feel like I have to hit the gas more than I should to keep a steady pace. The RPM's are normal, and the oil was just changed, also no trans slipping. When I want to go from around 55mph to 70mph, I basically have to floor it...

    Goodbye Excursion, Hello Expy

    Hey everyone, Just recently lost my baby...a 2003 EB Excursion 4x4. Tried to find another one, but did not have the funds to replace her. I DID find a 1997 Expy XLT 4x4 in pretty good shape though. It's been a hassle figuring out the wiring problems, shorts, etc. But it's always good to have a...
