    Obsolete Body Parts (Rust Repair Sheet Metal)

    Just came back from the local Ford dealer. No steel stampings available. Apparently this is a "thing" that the crew behind the counter were aware of as I guess it gets asked every now and again these days. They did check inventory in the hopes of new re-pops but no luck - didn't say no out of...

    Obsolete Body Parts (Rust Repair Sheet Metal)

    Hmm, so used to scrounging it never occurred to me to try the dealer directly. The public online interface says NLA but I don't know if that actually looks at individual dealer shelved inventories. Thanks, will try that. Failing that I'll have to make something I guess. Btw, have you welded...

    Obsolete Body Parts (Rust Repair Sheet Metal)

    Hi All, I parked my 2001 Expedition during the pandemic and now I'm working towards getting her back on the road. Made the mistake of parking on grass, lots of extra rust to deal with now. I've been looking for OEM body parts but seems like most stuff is no longer available. I'm planning to...

    1997-2002 Expedition Radiator Support Replacement

    If I was to do it again this is the approach I would take - just replace the cross member either by cutting up a new sheet metal radiator shroud or bending up some raw sheet metal to the correct shape.

    Dyno'd New Engine

    Hardly. Load up a 5k popup and leave the centre of the continent to go to either coast to catch a ferry or meet up with others in your convoy. Oh, and you only get two weeks to get the travelling done AND enjoy the destination(s). It's not for everyone. Remember that your use case is not the...

    Dyno'd New Engine

    NVH Towing a trailer for 8-14 hours a day for several days at highways speeds with the engine spinning at 3k+ RPM sucks. Not recommended if you value comfort at all during your road trips. 2¢

    Dyno'd New Engine

    3.73s or 4.10s. Take a look at what the rpms are when the trans is in direct drive for towing. I kinda hate towing with my Cherokee (32s and 4.56).

    typical windshield leak hitting electric

    Take it to a body shop and get it fixed properly. Local shop here did it for ~$400 including windshield. Leaks are gone.

    Overheating problem solved.

    Fatique wear / breakage due to crap materials. Guessing vane(s) came off first and jammed the impeller and the drive ripped/ peeled the impeller from the shaft. Assuming this was a no-name brand part and not Motorcraft or similar quality part.

    What's the story with the 928? It's looking a little unloved.

    What did you do to the expy today

    Yes, exactly. It's a city car. If I lived and worked in a dense city I'd consider one for going to work or something of that nature. I'd still have a "real car" for anything else.

    AirBag Light Code 42 Fix

    12-13 years on original brake lines? If you are in the salt belt then that's pretty normal.

    1997-2002 Expedition Radiator Support Replacement

    The rad support I got is adequate. Like you said, it will need some hammer massage to get everything lined up. Mine still isn't done (didn't get it finished in the fall and I need to work outside). I need to sand, treat, paint, etc the support and doing that in poor weather is a waste of time so...

    So the Dealer said: "You Need a New Engine"

    Yeah, a lot of dealers are the absolute worst place to get a vehicle diag. If it doesn't fit a normal wear item replacement pattern on a newish vehicle they are lost it seems. Sad but that's been my experience. Local dealer tried to get me to do a $2K timing chain replacement on my A4. Indy...
