    Walk away or should I pay?

    Pretty low miles for a '97. Make sure to get a vehicle report if you do buy. Ask about the sparkplugs too... If there isn't any history of them being changed, I'd make that my first priority after the buy. Test drive it, and make sure the 4x4 works. Listen for sound of bad joints. If it all...

    spark plug questions

    Ha, Just think... One model year newer, and it could of been a real PITA!

    Hey! Noobie to the forums :)

    I used to own a 98 black EB just like that (except stock), before I sold it in Grand Junction. I wish I would of kept kept it now though, seeing how good yours looks!

    what to do with a destroyed expedition

    That's a toughy.. You have quite a bit of options. Personally, I would keep it, and turn it into a toy. From the 2nd row seats back, I would cut the top off. Kinda like old Broncos. Since the front is messed up, I would do a custom facelift too. Bunch of crazy things you could do lol.

    '98 Eddie Bauer ZF5 swap

    This was a great read! Sometimes, I dream about doing a 7.3L swap, and going for a manual tranny... That would be the perfect Expy. This post just reminds me of the possibilities lol

    Welcome! Most people end up here via googling something along the lines of "Ford expedition ______ problem". After coming here enough times, that's how I ended up joining, along side continuous searches for other customized Expeditions. Tons of info and advice!

    Oil viscosity change question

    I went ahead and did some research on it, and found a great explanation. These guys break it down Barney style, and even provide charts for comparison. Check em out -> Motor Oil Viscosity Grades Explained in Layman's Terms

    Oil viscosity change question

    Yep, pretty much. I totally read your question wrong at first by the way, sorry for any confusion. 5W30 performs the same as 10W30 during operating temp, but is slightly better during startup because it's just a wee bit thinner when cold. I've always seen it the same way as you, "5W" = cold...

    Oil viscosity change question

    I'm no oil expert by any means, but I've always believed the difference between 5W30 and 10W30 was only during cold measures (not a huge difference, though). They both perform the same when the engine has reached normal operating temp, but 10W30 is (just a tiny bit) thicker, or slower during...

    Lets play a game... WTF does this go to??

    Ha! After doing some reading, I found out its the Suspension Diagnostic Connecter. Totally useless in my case, since I don't have air suspension. Just in case anyone is ever confused, it connects to nothing, except a diagnostic tool. Hooray.

    Lets play a game... WTF does this go to??

    Putting my dash back together, and found this unplugged... Now, for the life of me, I can't even remember unplugging it, or find out where it could possibly go to. Even dropped my steering column, and still can't find anything... Any ideas?

    Frontend Noise......Help

    Well, take it to a tech with an ASE patch then. I have no idea what the sound you're hearing is, since I haven't heard it myself. If you are claiming it's not the new all terrain tires you have, then I have nothing else to suggest. Sorry, bro. Keep us updated when you find what's wrong though...

    Frontend Noise......Help

    Road noise over 60 mph with the Wranglers is normal. Any MT/AT will make noise due to the tread.

    Frontend Noise......Help

    Okay.. Goodyear. What type of tire now? (MT, AT, Winter etc.)

    Frontend Noise......Help

    Is it making any noises around corners/turns? And what kind of tires do you have?

    What did you do to the expy today

    Replaced my Heater Core. Since this was my first heater core job, it took quite a while, and a ton of patience. Honestly surprised I didn't break anything, or set my truck on fire lol. Sure as hell beats spending $700-$1000 at a shop though.

    How do I find a Transmission builder? PLZ READ

    Not sure of any in TX... But check these guys out: Welcome to Monster Transmission | We Build More Than Transmissions, We Build Relationships ... I've heard great reviews about them, and apparently they offer some pretty beastly stuff.

    3D paint job

    Uhm... I think they painted an Audi with the "3D paint" you're talking about. It's made by applying a grooved film with a pattern, then painting over it. I guess it kinda looks cool IMO. But to paint a whole Expy? You'd better have some damn deep pockets!

    Fire extinguisher mount/placement?

    Center console is where I keep my ccw, so that's a no-go lol. I'm thinking about just mounting it in the back, close to the lift gate within arms reach. So all I gotta do is open up the back, and boom. It's right there in front of me. I might of been a little picky at first, but I figure having...

    6.8L in 2006 Expedition

    It has been done once before. The owner of that expedition is now an idol lol. If you DO accomplish such a task, make sure to post pics, videos and plenty of info!

    No bass

    You might have better luck asking one of the veteran street kings, like 6K-Watts. I hardly have any audio experience whatsoever, but I'll go ahead and help the best I can from personal experience. I owned a '98 Eddie Bauer, and sometimes the stock subwoofer in the back would lose power. I...
