    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...

    98 odometer on a 2001?

    Like a lot of these trucks, the odometer blinks on and off (mostly off) on my 2001 XLT. The 98 parts truck has a mechanical odomerter which i would like better. Is it mechanically driven? WOuld it be really impractical to swap the instrument clusters?

    bench seat options?

    This truck (2001 XLT) would be a much better family car if it had a bench seat instead of the large mostly useless storage box/armrest. I assme one from an F150 would be pretty simple to install. Has anyone tried this or bench seats from other big luxry cars?

    98 Expy with 5.0 l ? IS that rare?

    I just bought a 98 parts truck to get body parts for my 2001. The engine is a 5.0/ I'd only ever heard of the 4.6 and 5.4 going into the Expy. Is this rare? I'll be parting out the truck when I'm done with it. Is there anything special about this engine?

    Anyone put a six spd in a 1st Gen expy?

    Can it be done? of course, anything "can be done" but is it a reasonable mod? I love my 2001 Expedition. We tow a big trailer and I have no interest in trading in the truck. But apparently that transmission in the later F150's would greatly improve towing performance so it's something I...

    How do your brakes feel?

    We just took delivery of a 2001 XLT. We're pretty happy with the truck but the brakes lack a certain neck snapping bite that we'd like. But I'm driving a Civic and She's driving a Chrysler minivan. Is it the weight and the ABS? Should I be able to lock it up? On wet pavement it...
