    Does the gear selector cable on the right side just pop off? I don't see a bolt or anything that is holding it in place. Just want to make sure before I make the problem any worse. Also where does the other end go...?

    I am about to do this repair myself. Glad to hear the Vista-Pro works well...was thinking about spending the extra $$ didn't want to cheap out. So when my heater core died I cut the inlet and outlet hoses and coupled them together. Did you happen to do this. If so could you point me to the...

    shifting gears

    Here is what I know...about a year ago the truck had the issue where when you make low speed turns there was a chug and vibration in the rear end. So I had the transaxle fluid replaced both front and rear. Tada no more chug and vibration to low speed turns. I also know that earlier this year...

    shifting gears

    No I understood his question! I just have a issue where I have tried while in AWD to shift from P to 1 and can't. I know I should be able to. But was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light.

    shifting gears

    Not to thread hijack here but what would be wrong if you were unable to go from P to 1? I have a 99 where this is happening?

    Compass display not working correctly.

    @Roxy - I hate to sound like a dick but I dont have a owner's manual. That is just one reason why I use resources such as this forum. Maybe if you have one you could post up the procedure on how-to re-calibrate it! That way the whole forum could gain from your knowledge. @Big Green Ford - Oops...

Just about 2 days ago the passenger rear door began intermittently not locking and now has stopped altogether. At the same time the Door Ajar light has come on and what I believe is related...

    Does anyone have any information for doing the bench seat to captain seat conversion on a 1st Gen Expedition? Would like to do this in mine. If anyone is interested would be willing to trade my bench for your middle row captain seats.

    Black wheels

    Instead of plastidip, I am thinking about applying RealTree All Purpose wrap to my rocker panels, fender flares and door handles (basically anywhere there is tan). http://www.autowrap.co/images/RealTreeAllPurpose_Large.jpg

    Heater Core Issues

    Ok so as a temporary solution I cut the inlet and outlet hoses and coupled them together with a radiator flush kit 'T'. After a couple weeks there is no coolant/exhaust smell in the cabin and my windows are not fogging up nearly as bad. Still a few more weeks until the weather warms up enough to...

    Heater Core Issues

    So my wife and I just bought our 99 Exp EB 5.8 a couple of months ago in order to move to MN from WA this winter (1700 miles). The heat in our 99 Exp EB worked fine the whole way. However, after being in MN for about a week the cabin started to fill with smoke from every nook and cranny in and...
