    New front end.

    Nice. I just did the same. New ball joints, control arms, pitman, idler...She rides like a dream! I have those same tires, BTW, and they are GREAT. Good traction and they last forever. You'll love 'em.

    brown wire mod, revisited.

    it absolutely feels different. full lock turns don't have the binding or pushing that they did when it was AWD. i think you definitely are feeling drag in AWD. my 4x4 engages just like all my manual hub trucks have. 4 hi is on the fly, stop and put it in neutral for 4 lo. i have not had any...

    brown wire mod, revisited.

    i have an 01, and last year i did this mod, after reading about it here. no switch is needed at all. i cut the wire, capped both ends with quality wire nuts, and promptly spun the rears. 4 hi and 4 lo work just like they should, and 4 hi is still usable on the fly. gone however is the horrible...

    P0171 p0174 codes please help

    I have that issue with my 01. I did actually need to replace my EGR valve to clear my CEL, and now I only get one intermittently on cold mornings. It reads p0171 and p0174 everytime. I bought a BAFX scan tool from Amazon, and a paid Torque Pro app from Google Play, (BEST 25 DOLLARS EVER SPENT !)...

    COP questions....

    So...changed COPs and plugs. Disconnect battery to reset CEL. The pig is running great all the way to work. Leave work, CEL comes back on. Think maybe I didn't leave battery disconnected long enough. Try it again. 30 more miles, light comes back on. Busy at work, time goes by...2 weeks or so, I...

    COP questions....

    Coils from Araparts, and 8 NGK Iridium plugs for 135 shipped to my door. All the reviews I read on the web and F150 forum were positive for Araparts coils. Hoping I get a good batch.

    Pricing Question

    so i did the same thing...got a quote at yourmechanic.com...did a little research...spoke with an actual human on the phone...my price at 331 was quoted with only ONE coil. explained that my engine has 8 COP's and 8 plugs, and price quote jumped to over 900 bucks. Definitely make sure that they...

    COP questions....

    2001 XLT 4x4, 4.6, 151k miles. Just got a rough idle a few days ago. Scan shows P0308 cylinder 8 misfire code. From the looks of the COP's under the hood, they're either factory, or were replaced at dealership as they're Motorcraft, and they look old. My question is if I can replace just the...

    Brown Wire Mod

    So I did the brown wire mod this week. I LOVE IT ! It's so refreshing to be able to whip this pig sideways with a flick of the wheel. The feel in the wheel on the street is different too. Definitely feels like there's less friction in the system. Now I just need about 400 more horsepower. Heh.

    01 Expedition leans a little bit...

    Hello everyone. Just bought a used 01 Expedition. 4x4, 4.6 L. Rides smooth, no rattles or squeaks, but I've noticed the right rear seems like it's just a little lower than the left. I've noticed the front wheels are off camber too. Maybe a 4 wheel alignment is in order ? Are the torsion bars...
