    5.4L 5 Speed Conversion

    One more thing you need to budget for is a body lift. I do not think the zf will fit without one. I am not a fan of body lifts, but the bright side is that the 315/75/16's look pretty good on the expe.

    5.4L 5 Speed Conversion

    The shifter question I do not understand. The zf I bought came complete with the shifter. If I recall correctly the shifter itself bolted to a stub shaft that was part of the shift fork/top cover of the transmission. I also used the complete slave/master/reservoir/line set from the super duty...

    5.4L 5 Speed Conversion

    Well I am not sure about the MPG because the one flaw with my conversion is no speed sensor. The expe had it in the output shaft of the trans, the super duty had it in the transfer case or rearend. Therefore I have not had a speedo for about three years. It is slightly better than it was with...

    5.4L 5 Speed Conversion

    I too put the zf 5 speed in my 01 expe 3 years ago. It was fairly straightforward. I used the original crossmember and just made a plate to connect to. As far as the driveshafts go I had a local shop shorten and lengthen the originals.

    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    Clydesdale, I googled DP Tuner and it looked like they only offered diesel tuning. Are you saying that a computer from an f-250 even if it is from a similar series should only be used as a temp fix while I am getting mine programmed?

    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    All I had to do on the x-member was make a plate because it was only a couple of inches off. I would like to do something with ECM though. I think it is detuning the engine because it is confused and in limp mode. I read that I could use one from an f250 but it had to be the same series of...

    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    I installed a ZF5 in my '01 expe. Used the pedals out of an f-150. Bought the clutch slave/master all together for the F-250. The pushrod for the master was too long so I found one for the F-150 and it worked well. The output splines were the same, so the factory t-case bolted right up. The...

    5 speed expedition?

    Hey nvycrmn, Here are a couple of pictures of the ol bronco. She is not much to look at but she is quite the trail rig. Until I get the expe done she also is my daily driver. It is a good thing that I live close to work (bad road manners).

    5 speed expedition?

    nvycrmn, Not much off-roading of the expe, but I use it to tow my off-roader, a 74 bronco. I just hate automatics. Think about how much fun it would be to bang gears in that big ol ride of yours. tonydiv, I am not certain what you mean, a stand alone ECU. I could buy an ECU from a manual...

    5 speed expedition?

    Hey All, I just ordered a ZF5 that I plan to install into my 2001 Expedition. I already have a pedal set, and it looks like the expe tranfer will bolt right up. What I need to figure out now is the computer. Does any one have any thoughts on how the computer is going to react to the lack of...
