    Yet, another torsion twist question

    Alright, back to the torsion twist. Is it best to have the Expy on the ground, or to lift it up then crank? Measure from the ground to the highest point of the wheel well while on the ground? 2000 Expedition Eddie Bauer NO AIR RIDE, strutmaster conversion. Any advice/ help would be awesome.

    Expy Mechanics

    Been a while since I've been on here, and I apologize. New issue and it's weird. No ck suspension light. Ass end is sagging, bad. Compressor is Not running at all. I'm pretty sure water is getting into the gem module. Any ideas, hints, tips, etc? At a loss here.

    Another Programmer Question

    Been reading up on these programmers for a while, seems most everyone is getting up to a maximum of a 3mpg incgrease. But my question was, is when you set those programmers to performance, what kind of hp/torque gains are you all seeing?

    Octane rating!

    What octane is everyone running? I'm runnin 89, took care of some chitty-chitty bang, bang, noises during startup. I read another post awhile back, and another guy was having problems with his engine making a lot of noise when it was cold out, so he ran 89 for 5 tanks and it went away. He said...

    MAF Bolts

    Alright, after all the debates on the gotts mod vs. a CAI, I decided to try both. I'm currently running a MAC CAI, and I've got all the parts ready to install for the Gotts mod,......except the stupid bolts that hold the MAF sensor inside the original air intake, (must have misplaced them when...

    Gas Cap= better mileage

    Just wanted to give you all a heads up, was struggling a little bit trying to figure out why my mileage was lower than it was when I bought my expy, and it finally dawned on me.

    Opinions Welcome

I get a lot of compliments on her and most of them are that they can't believe it's a 2000. I've had a couple people offer to buy her off me, too. I'd like to know what you...

    yet another muffler question

    All rights everyone, I'm really having trouble here. Been reading posts, watching youtube and visiting exhaust web sites, cannot find the sound I'm looking for. I really like the deep, hollow, throaty sounds of a mustang with a great exhaust, I'd like to duplicate that sound. I'm going for deep...

    Popping noise when braking

    Alright guys, I may just be thinking way too hard about this, but I just finished installing new pads on my 2000 EB, and I now have a weird popping noise coming from the front end when I hit the brakes. It doesn't do it every time, usually when I just change direction, forward or reverse. Any...
