    It's Official this Expedition HATES ME

    Okay so seems I am always fixing little things here and there after I had some major stuff done in the past (rear end, ac system, heater core, replacing entire ignition system). So the other day I went to start it and instead of it firing it simply went "clunk" (a bit louder than a click from...

    Pillar post cover removal

    I am sure everyone but me knows how to get the pillar post on the drivers side off by the windshield so please enlighten me. No screws and I am a bit scared to just start tugging on the cover not knowing if that is the right thing to do.

    Pissed me off enough to make a video

    I admit I get mad pretty easy over issues that I feel are just wrong and I tend to not let it ride or let it go, yes its a not always good but at times it may help others and I hope this is one of times it might help others save a little. Over Priced Parts From O'Reilly's and they DONT CARE...

    New tires today

    Got my new tires put on today and so far I am pleased. For a 10 ply tire the actually ride out pretty smooth, far better than the ones I took off (MAXXIS BRAVO 751) A lot more quiet on the highway, smooth even on the gravel roads and best of all since they are a bit shorter than the 285/75/16...

    Love the 1st Gen looks but want that Ecoboost

    I wish there was a way to swap that ecoboost into the 1st gen Expedition. I really prefer the looks of the 1 generation Expeditions over the rest but that ecoboost engine just flat spanks my little 4.6 V8 in torque and HP. If there was an adapter to bolt it to the current transmission and...

    Is it a differential or a transfercase or both?

    I have been dealing with what sounds like a rear diff howl. The warmer it gets the louder and mainly under acceleration with a more like growl as the speed reaches 20mph or less under deceleration. Now why I have shifted my mind to the transfercase as an option is #1 when I have had pinion...

    4.6 vs 5.4

    So as near as I can read about these Ford motors it seemed the 4.6 was pointless for the Expedition. It seemed to drink as much fuel, little to no towing ability so why??? Maybe what I am reading is wrong on MPG? Again I have had Chevs prior to this minus a brief time with an old f150...

    Catalytic converter dump

    So 1999 4x4 EXP with 4.6 V8 I was told these things have 4 cats on them 2 per side then go into a muffler then out to a single exhaust. I can I or can I have the exhaust come down, become a single, go through like a single magnaflow or flowmaster CAT then through a single magnaflow of...

    Bypassing the Heater Core

    So I most likely have a failing heater core up front. Light coolant smell from vents, goes away after a bit them as you drive every so often it will have that poof of coolant smell from the vents. (heater on of coarse) So being old school thought maybe at least for now I could cut the supply...

    First Time Expedition Owner

    Okay I was a diehard Chevy Suburban fan, last one was a 1996 2500 4x4 with a 454 and I kept seeing the Expeditions and it kept calling me. I have a 1999 Ford F150 Ext cab 2wd with the 4.2 and love it so figured why not 2 Fords instead of a Chev. So bought it today about 3 hours ago, a 1999...
