    Pulling the engine

    You don't have to pull the body to get the motor out, it's only on the Powerstroke diesels in the Super Dutys that they have to lift off the cab.

    exhaust options?

    Hey, headers are legal in CA. I run a set of Gibson ceramic's and they're CARB legal. Came with the sticker to go on the door panel and everything.

    exhaust options?

    The flowmasters sound good on the old push-rod engines, but I think the modular Tritons sound better with Magnaflow's. I'm running a cat back true dual with an X pipe and dual 24" Magnaflow's. I decided to keep mine a little quieter but you can definitely hear it when I'm on the gas. If you want...

    squeaky windows

    My front driver's window makes the sound going up and down regardless of what the weather's like. It has "character." haha. I'm going to pull the door panel and lube everything and let you guys know how well it works.

    99 XLT 5.4 Triton

    The factory tow package already comes with transmission and oil coolers. Take a peek behind the front bumper and infront of the radiator for them. As for the WDH, I'll let wiki explain: A weight-distributing hitch is a "load leveling" hitch. It is a hitch setup mounted on the tow vehicle...

    99 XLT 5.4 Triton

    It should be 5000/500 and 8000/800 with weight distribution. Look on the tow hitch bar. It should have a tag on it that says the exact weight rating.

    99 XLT 5.4 Triton

    Does it have the factory class III towing hitch below the rear bumper with a 7-pin connector or just the hitch mount in the rear bumper? If you have the towing package your tow rating should be 5000 lb (500 hitch weight) and 8000 lb (800 lb hitch weight) with a weight distribution hitch. This is...

    2011 Expedition

    On the diesel; Ford has already made two seperate attempts at putting diesels into the Expedition, one for the 2005 model with the 4.5L Powerstroke V-6 and again for the 2010 model with the 4.4L V-8. Both times Ford decided that, due to low gas prices, diesels were not in high enough demand to...

    To all 5.4L guys. a warning from my mechanic

    Hey guys, I just had one of my plugs blow out of the cylinder. I have just over 130,000 on my 5.4 and the plugs were all replaced by my shop when my coils went bad a few thousand miles ago. At first I thought it was my valves rattling and I was dreading what it would cost me to get a valve...

    Diesel swap into an Expedition. Would it fit?

    The swap into the Bronco would just be a lot easier, all the running gear from a pre-Super Duty F-250 would bolt right on. But don't think Betsy, my beloved Expediton will be forgotten. I'm feeling a stroker kit I found: make her 5.4L into a 6.3L or maybe a Procharger Centrifugal Charger. But...

    Diesel swap into an Expedition. Would it fit?

    Thanks for all the help guys! I've been doing a bunch of research and I think I've decided to slap a diesel and F-250 running gear into a Bronco (same front clip as the old square-body F-250's, some even come with the 7.3's tranny) and then I'll tub out the Expedition and make it into a desert...

    Diesel swap into an Expedition. Would it fit?

    The few people that have diesel excursions tend to hold on to them for a long time, and the reason I'm considering a diesel swap is because I currently lack the funding for the diesel Super Duty I've always wanted. Haha.

    Diesel swap into an Expedition. Would it fit?

    That's a great point. I'd have to completely redo the entire front end. Makes the 4.5L sound a lot more appealing, now I just have to find one! I'm told it's actually the same motor Ford was planning to tweak and drop into the Expeditions and F-150's (I still cry myself to sleep because that...

    Diesel swap into an Expedition. Would it fit?

    Thanks KWT2000, I have heard of a lot of Ranger guys swapping for the I4 Cummins but the power and torque figures I've heard for it leave much to be desired, plus, I want to try to keep it Ford if I can (or Fordish haha, even though Ford does owns part of Cummins). Have you heard anything about...

    Diesel swap into an Expedition. Would it fit?

    Hey all, I love my '99 with the 5.4L, but I have always been a huge fan of diesel motors. I'm seriously considering a diesel swap into my Expedition. I know that the 7.3L and the 6.0L Powerstrokes both fit in the Bronco engine bay, but I was wondering if anyone had heard about one of those...

    Who has the most miles on the odometer of their expedition?

    Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! I just hit 130k with my '99 and I though that was a lot! The only major problem I've had is having my tranny go out at 120k.

    If the Expedition had the following engine options, which would you choose?

    The 6.0L unfortunately wouldn't fit into an expedition, it would be amazing though. As for the 4.4 L diesel, I'd kill to get my hands on one. It's a huge let-down that Ford decided to shelf the project. It would have been a sweet engine swap for my truck. My trusty 5.4 is getting tired.

    where do I start to make my expedition water ready?

    The plugs and coils on the Triton's are extremely susceptible to water! You need to make sure the coils are well protected from water otherwise they'll short out and get destroyed. I've fried mine just by driving on the highway during heavy rains. Do what Tonydiv said to do, but double and...

    tire sensor

    Pull the gauge cluster and put a piece of black electrical tape over it. I know it's ghetto, but it works. Haha. My buddy has a faulty check engine on his old Rodeo and he just slapped tape over it. It hides the light without standing out. (I however DO NOT suggest putting it over the check...

    Cold Air Intake

    Not to beat a dead horse, but I agree with everyone, I've over-oiled the filter and had the sensor get gummed up. Just put a minimal amount of oil on the filter and let it sit for an hour or so. If there is a white spot, put a little more oil there and let it still for some more time. There...

    01 4.6 Expy severe misfire after rain

    You can power wash it, but everyone I have talked to told me to eith only get the sides of the valvecovers or pull the coils before I do it, then blow out the spark plug wells with air and let it sit in the sun just to make sure its dry. I'll be doing this soon, and I'll change the spark plugs...

    Looking to LT

    Last I checked, Fabtech offers a long travel kit for the rear, but they're been discontinuing a lot of kits recently. You might be able to find some on line. Check out truckaddons.com They have really good prices.

    Ny to toronto Ca to Anchorage Ak and back

    Not bad at all! My '99 is about to break the 130k mark and she's as strong as ever!

    Which fog lights?

    Take a look at my front bumper in the picture in my signature. Your bumper does not have the holes for the lights or the brackets for them. You'd have to buy a new lower valence like he said, or mount lights behind the grill like I did.
