    Bearing noise in a4wd?

    I’m noticing a noise similar in sound to a bad wheel bearing in a4wd. Mostly noticeable at lower speeds under some load. I have a switch rigged to kill fuse 104 (awd) under the hood. When I turn the switch off, the noise goes away completely, so I’m certain it’s not a wheel bearing. It does...

    99 4x4 steering and handling..

    I got to drive the girlfriends Jeep (07 Grand Cherokee) (no snow tires) in some fairly harsh winter conditions. I was amazed at how much safer it felt than my 99 Expy 4x4 with brand new snow tires. I've put so much work into this truck over the last few years, so rather than ditch it for a...

    Remote Start help

    Truck had a compustar CS600 start unit in it when I bought it. It's been working fine for a few years. Recently, I did a stereo/backup cam install and while I had a lot of the dash off for paint, replaced a few pieces. After putting it all back together, the remote start doesn't work. It...

    Lights flickering

    Has anyone else experienced lights flickering? It's mainly noticeable with the interior lights when it's dark out and you open the door, but it's also noticeable in the headlights or radio/climate control display. This problem seems to go away completely when turning headlights off. Turning...

    interchanging 98 transfer case

    I'm in the market for a transfer case for my 99. Does anyone have any experience with replacing the transfer case from a 99-02 to a 97-98 to get the actual 2wd setting? Would it require much other than the 4 position switch and the transfer case? Assuming it would work, would there be any...

    Whining noise (speed dependent)

    This weekend I changed my fuel pump (replaced with new motor craft part) and while the tank was down swapped out the transfer case motor. The old motor worked fine but was almost completely rotted away. Also swapped out the transfer case fluid from a cheap ATF to Mobil1 ATF. First trip out and...

    Steering Grind?

    I'm getting a light grinding noise, most noticeable when turning the wheel very slightly in either direction while stopped or maneuvering around in parking lots etc. It definitely sounds like a power steering pump, but after replacing that, the noise is identical. I've also done upper control...

    illuminated entry with remote start module

    Looking for some info on how I can make my illuminated entry (running boards and interior) lights come on when unlocking with my remote starters key fob. Unlock is setup for driver priority with a 2nd press being setup for unlock all. Unfortunately when unlocking it in this manner, the...

    idle surge in drive only

    Started noticing this issue after a bunch of work, so not sure if it is related or just something else that popped up. Car idles fine in Park. When in drive and stopped with foot on brake, I'm getting a bit of a rough idle and barely noticeable surging. The rpms aren't surging so much, it's...

    New shocks?

    99 Expedition, 130k miles 5.4 awd without air suspension. Honestly, when I bought this truck I was really looking for a range rover (99-02). It turns out all range rovers from that era are over priced and in rough shape and repairs costs are ridiculous for almost everything. One of the...

    99 5.4 rebuild

    I bought this 99 with 127k on it about 3 months ago. When I got it I hardly knew anything about these expys and have since learned quite a good deal. So I have 2 leaking head gaskets . It doesn't effect how it runs and Blackstone labs just sent me a fairly positive oil sample result. Still I...

    Steering Wheel Compatibility?

    Does anyone know if the Explorer Eddie Bauer style steering wheel works on the Expedition? I had this wheel on my Explorer with the same stereo and wondering if it is a direct swap.

    Driver side running board lamps

    Before I crawl under the truck and try to figure out what's going on I thought I'd see if anyone else has encountered this. Passenger side running board lights work, driver side is out. I swapped a bulb from driver side to passenger side and the passenger side still works, driver side does...
