    Hello Again

    I've been away for some time. Finishing out the last requirements of my Bachelor's degree had me very distracted... The expedition is at 244k now and knocks like all hell from the top end but still seems to run fine. I think the timing chains are making noise though :( I am in the hunt for...

    Steering Rack

    Has anyone had to replace the steering rack in their 2nd gen? My mom has been complaining of stiff steering in her 2004, and when I finally got around to test driving it, it was like the steering was missing a tooth. It would get hard, then easy, hard, then easy as i turned left and right...

    Do I have ESC?

    So I need to replace the master cylinder of my mom's 2004. I went to O'Reilly last night and I guess they sell two different types of master cylinder, one with Electronic Stability Control, and one without. I would imagine it would have ESC, but it is an XLT so it might not. Anyone know what...

    Useful Video

    Hopped into my truck this weekend and my shifter had randomly become looser than it ever had. Like night and day difference. Barely could get it to accept park, let alone select reverse or drive. Found this video and thought I would post it in case others have a similar issue. After...

    Clicking in Dash

    So my folks have an 04 Expy, and recently it started doing an odd thing. With the climate control knob all the way to the red, something in the dash clicks. Not very fast, maybe 1-2 times per second. It sounds like it is coming from the right side, so I am thinking possibly blend door. The...

    Transmission Overflow?

    So I have had this shutter for about a year. It happens when you hit about 35-40 mph and let it hit overdrive (4th). I figured it was misfires but after replacing coils and plugs, it is still there. So next step is the transmission I figure. Read plenty about torque converter shutter, so I...

    Wiggly COP?

    So this weekend was spent changing out the spark plugs in my truck. I did new Motorcraft plugs and Accel Supercoils. I noticed one coil is loose despite the bolt being down as far as it will go. I did not think to give the old coils the wiggle test before pulling them out of there. The...

    Raptor Grille Lights

    Well I figured I may as well start the thread and add to it as I go. Saw this on a different forum and thought it looked pretty sweet. Raptor style LED grille lights-install pics - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans So far I have 3 of the 4 mounted. Thunderstorm rolled in so I am...

    Painted the Bumpers

    Finally got around to painting the bumpers. I have a new grille in the mail, but I decided not to wait on the bumpers. I think I will do the Expedition emblems as well, but ran out of time this weekend.

    Lower Ball Joints

    Alright so this is a question regarding my dad's 04 Expy 4x4. We tried to press out his lower ball joints today, and we could not get the cup from the press to sit squarely against the arm. It keeps coming at an angle and therefore does not pull evenly downward to press out the ball joint. I...

    Scary Moment of the Day...

    So the last couple of days, I have had this awful sounding dragging noise from the front left of the expy. Thought maybe the caliper was hanging, so I thought I would investigate. Today was the first day I had off work since it started so I decided to pull the wheel. What I found was quite...

    Car Tape Cassette Adapter Auto-Reversing

    Okay so I don't know how many of you use these adapters that allow you to plug in an iPod or something with an mp3 connection, but if you have then you probably have had the problem of it trying to auto-reverse and then eventually spitting back out. I have been dealing with this for quite some...

    Polaris Decal

    I am wondering if you guys can make me a vinyl decal that says Polaris. I don't need the logo at the beginning, but if the "O" in Polaris could keep the star logo that would be sweet. Also I don't know how it works with registered trademarks, but if you could leave off the "r" logo at the very...

    Egg Smell in the Exhaust

    Driving home from a snowmobiling trip last night and I noticed my truck smelled like rotten eggs. My old man says he thinks it could be that a cat is plugged up. Does this sound right to you guys? I don't really want to hollow them out if I can help it because I already don't have a muffler...

    Taillight Tinting

    I am wondering what those who have tinted their tails have used, as well as their process (# of coats, how long between each one, sanding, etc). Only product I know of is VHT Nightshade, but if you guys have used other stuff, feel free to pass it along. Obviously this is something I can't...

    Fuel Economy Decreasing

    So I have noticed recently that my fuel efficiency is going the wrong way. Used to get around 11 mpg's through the city, but the last few months it has been more in the high 8 low 9's. I am slowly changing out spark plugs and COP's as they go bad, but otherwise the truck runs just fine. I am...

    January EOTM Submission: WHACKIEST PIC

    FordandPolaris: January EOTM Submission Joke I did for Halloween a couple years back. Not terribly whacky but it certainly got quite a few double takes as I drove through parking lots haha.

    What All Does the GEM Control?

    Okay so we picked up a 2000 Expedition for my mom a couple weeks ago and it has many odd electrical faults. I am wondering if anyone can point me to a thread that might tell me what exactly that GEM controls. Google hasn't pointed me to anything of much help. I am confident that it is the...

    Momentary Hesitation

    My truck started acting kind of funny while doing highway driving a couple weeks ago. As I am cruising along at about 70mph, it feels as if the engine skips a beat at times. Its started and stopped as fast as I can say "whoa." It only happens if it is on an uphill part of the highway. It...

    Humming off and on

    I know there are plenty of threads with things related to this, but this is one is odd to me. It just started today. Basically as I hit 70 mph it sounds like a hum is coming from the front of the truck. I was thinking it was my wheel hub going bad, but both were replaced maybe 40,000 miles...

    Front end clunk

    OK so last night I was driving on the freeway, and my truck started to clunk really bad from the drivers side from the wheel. Also, it only does it while hitting bumps. At first I thought it was my outer tie rod end, so I removed the one on the drivers side, but it did not seem loose at all...

    Exhaust Question

    OK so I have had a c-bomb glasspack on the truck for about a year now using the stock tailpipe. I plan on redoing the exhaust this summer after I start my new job, but in the meantime I would like it to be a little louder. If I dump the exhaust with a turn-down right after the glasspack, am I...

    Driver Side Window Issue

    So I have been having problems for about a year now with my driver's side window. Originally it started by randomly rolling itself down as the interior of the truck would warm up. Also, it only seemed to occur when the weather was cold. I figured this was a short of some kind with the...
