    wheel hub replacement, stripped bolt head

    I don't have any idea how you got a grinder in there, let alone a sawzall. There isn't any room for a socket, let alone a huge grinder. Did you just cut vertically through the old hub and remove the bolt, or what?

    wheel hub replacement, stripped bolt head

    So what the hell am I supposed to do now? Because Ford are idiots and design stuff to operate like shit, one of the damn bolts that holds the wheel hub assembly in place in the front is completely stripped (the head) A screw extractor isn't going to work because the bolt is seized into the hole...

    Code p0140 and p0147

    I think I have the right codes, I am getting them on my 97 expedition, 5.4l. 02 sensors bank 1 and bank 2 running lean. It also says if both codes are triggered, suspect MAF. I replaced the maf with a used replacement that was known to work prior. Still throws the CEL. I have no performance...

    sticking tailgate handle

    Is there somebody here who has experienced the problem with the rear tailgate handle being extremely hard to turn? I can turn it both ways to open either door or glass, but it's very hard to turn, and sometimes it requires ALOT of force either way. Also, I am not sure if it's supposed to return...

    p1041 and

    My truck recently got both p1071 and p1074 codes. Diagnostics said if both are set suspect MAF but here's the thing. A few months ago only one o2 sensor made cell. What's the likelihood that its actually the maf and not both o2 sensors? I'm not just gonna replace all three as that's 200$ thrown...

    97 EB Exhaust Manifold Removal

    I have a 1997 eddie bauer edition with the 5.4 litre v8 in it. The passenger side exhaust manifold needs to be removed so that the studs can be replaced in it, but the bolts holding it in are all rounded off (From the previous owner). What is the easiest way to get to them to cut them off...

    Fuel Economy

    Okay, some questions. I have a 1997 expedition, eddie bauer edition. It has a 5.4 v8 in it. The odometer thing says it's getting anywhere from 11-12 mpg, does this seem right? It seems kind of low, even for that big of a car. A full size hummer nearly gets better than that. Also, over the...

    Installing amp and subs

    hmm that one looks like it has to be spliced into the original wiring harness, too. I was hoping i could use a solution that didnt require messing up the original wiring harness. Do you know anything about the 1997 ford expedition? How does the amp hook up to the radio? I had read somewhere...

    Installing amp and subs

    Is that something that will work on the stock head unit or only for aftermarket? What I am wanting to do, is replace the original amp and subwoofer with the aftermarket ones in a box in the back of the truck. I don't think the stock woofer would sound nice next to a couple JL subs. Do you...

    running board wiring

    So my running board lights aren't working, so last weekend I climbed under there, and found out that the wiring coming from the main harness to the running boards on the drivers side was completely broken. Upon further investigation, I found out that the wiring was completely corroded inside of...

    Do any of you guys know of any of the interchange parts for a 1997 expedition allowed an in-dash GPS navigation system, or a drop-down dvd screen from the back (Near the rear hvac controls)? Looking for one, or both as my kids are complaining about wanting to watch tv while we travel, and if...

    99 electrical problems

    yes, ive tried two different batteries, both brand new and working fine in the vehicles they came out of. I was doing some research last night, and it looks like many people are experiencing the exact same problem I am having, and their solution to the problem was removing the fuse box and...

    Electrical gremlins

I am having the same problems as everyone else (With the blower motor coming on, and the automatic climate control center in the dash coming on and off intermittently with the key out of the ignition), but the starter also keeps trying to engage...

Whether they key is in or not the heater assembly keeps turning on and off every few seconds, the dash lights flash randomly, and when the car is started, the starter keeps trying to engage over and over every few seconds. If I remove...

    I have a buddy who has a 98 navigator that somebody destroyed the wiring in. He wants to see about getting the wiring harness that connects all the components under the dash so he can replace the wiring. Anyone have a good one from a parts car? Its the harness with the 16awg starter wires on it.
