    2001 XLT no power to OBD, stalling, runs like crap

    Had this truck for 50K miles, (out of 170,000) Last year I replaced the intake due to water at cyl #4 Never ran quite right after that. First problem, there is no power to OBD port (and cig lighter) can't find fuse. online is no help. I checked every fuse, can't find it. Yes, the owners...

    AWD / 4wd? manual transfer case conversion ? 2001 XLT

    Like I said, I probably won't do it but I like mechanical things and I think it would be cool. And, where I live I think it would improve resale on a first gen beach beast. But further research says there is no practical way to convert this transfer case. The best solution would be to use a...

    AWD / 4wd? manual transfer case conversion ? 2001 XLT

    Thanks. It's looking more like it would be easier to get a manual transfer case- Pick N pull is 50% off this weekend

    AWD / 4wd? manual transfer case conversion ? 2001 XLT

    I've been doing some research and just find the question but no answers. Apparently the electric shift transfer case in my Expy "Borg Warner BW4406" comes in a manual and electronic version. Anyone deeply familiar with these things? can it be converted by replacing the motor with a lever...

    grill/bumper combo 97 f150 to 2001 expi

    The front of my 2001 Expi is a mess, 2001 grill, bumper from a 98. big gap between bumper and grill- UGLY. Local junkyard has a 97 or 98 F150 with a nice chrome grill and bumper. Looks like it will all match but i'd like to avoid surprises. In researching the match bumpers and grills change...

    any restoration stories (with photos)

    I have a 2001 XLT. It was quite nice when my wife bought it 6 years ago but she lost interest and it became my car and gas was expensive so I just neglected it and beat it and let it deteriorate. Now I finally have a garage and I successfully replaced the intake and I am chasing down other...

    6 lug conversion?

    I searched around the F150 forums for an answer as i am curious about this myself. Actually converting the hubs to six lugs is pretty impractical unless you have a donor vehicle and can take EVERYTHING so you might be left with wheel converters. As for the safety of steel versus aluminum, I...

    1997 expedition engine swap

    Is there more to the story? Besides the CEL what made the mechanic suggest the engine is bad? SOunds fishy. With these engines the moving parts tend to be the last thing to fail. It's all the stuff that moves the air and fuel and coolant that causes all the problems. I am fighting with...

    troubleshooting fuel problem

    Don't you hate it when someone posts a question, gets all kinds of help from the group and then doesn't come back to tell what happened? In my research i found lots of threads like this going back several years but none had useful conclusions. I had fuel at the rail but not enough. I...

    troubleshooting fuel problem

    The frustrating thing is that i don't think it's long list of could be's if i could just connect with some expertise. I think someone who really understand this system could match my symptoms to a failed component. It starts quickly and idles smooth for about four seconds. I've ruled...

    troubleshooting fuel problem

    I don't have a fuel pressure gauge but here's what I got so far; changed pump and filter. Filter was definitely constricted but it made no difference in the problem The truck will start, struggle to find idle, run for a few seconds then die. Someone suggested clogged cat but can it...

    troubleshooting fuel problem

    It's raining hard here and the truck is parked over huge puddle. Normally I would be out there trying a bunch of things but it's pretty miserable so I'm hoping to get some smart suggestions so i can be ready when I get a break in the weather. Truck died and would not restart, thinking fuel...

    2001 XLT won't start after sitting.

    Hey, I'm back. THanks for the insight. I actually got some very useful PMs Here is the conclusion for some future use who comes looking for insight into fuel pump problems. The iniertia switch is really handy for troubleshooting. Once i found it i was able to check power to the pump...

    hot wiring an inline fuel pump?

    Yeah, I was really hoping for an electrical solution. I traced everything back to the iniertia switch. I could hear faint noise in the tank. Opened the fuel line behind the fuel filter (still hoping)

    hot wiring an inline fuel pump?

    So it turns out that what I thought was an inline pump is a replacement for the in tank pump but without the reset of the assembly- Amazon.com: Autobest F1482 Electric Fuel Pump: Automotive This old truck is nothing special so i may cut an access hole under the carpet. I've found mention...

    hot wiring an inline fuel pump?

    dunno. but $200 for the pump plus $150 for the tow truck, yes, really, i don't know anyone with 4wd who could yank it from the bog it's sitting in. versus $30 for a pump that might get the truck out on it;s own power. I do hope it will pull though the bad pump.

    hot wiring an inline fuel pump?

    My 2001 XLT needs a fuel pump. DOn't really want to spend $200 on it and I can't drop the tank where the truck sits now. And i would need a tow truck to move it to a dry spot. So, can I just put a cheap inline pump behind the fuel filter and hot wire it? What kind should i get? What...

    2001 XLT won't start after sitting.

    I praked the truck six months ago, it was running perfectly. I used it a couple months ago to unstick another truck It was nearly out of gas. Now it will not start, I added five gallons of gas, it's parked on level ground. Raw fuel poured in the intake got it run for a few soconds...

    2002 blower fan internmittant

    I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the blower. It comes on occasionally. Those occasions usually include either bumps or switching the selector to "PANEL". So I think the vibration or the airflow gets the motor moving and then it works until I shut the truck off.

    Looking for hard to find part.

    Not sure myself, if i had a garage I would not park the car in it but the openers typically have a single big button and and the pocket has a post or two that would mash the button when you push up on it Meanwhile, the pocket in front of that one is for sunglasses.

    about those fog lights 98 XLT

    I got a 98 parts truck to take the grill for my 2001 XLT The 98 has a taller bumper with fog lights To turn on the fog lights you pull the light switch with the headlights in the on position. I've never had proper fog lights on a vehicle but i thought the idea was to have these low...

    Anything better on a 98 vs. 2001 ?

    I bought the 98 XLT parts truck to replace the bumper, grill, a window and some lights on my 2001. FIrst thing i noticed is the 98 bumper is taller with a lot more metal and a lot less plastic. So that got me wondering if there might be other things that were downgraded between fist...
