    Headlight swap done. Pleasantly impressed.

    So I finally got fed up with my poor night vision from my yellowed headlights. I've tried the whole restore thing but still they weren't clear. So I bought some cheapo eBay housings $80 and a heavy duty 9007 wiring harness (I suggest that for everyone even with stock housings). I got the Philips...

    4.6 to 5.4 swap. Logical??

    So my 4.6 with the leaky head gasket, 260k, leaks oil etc. is staring to worry me. I feel it won't be long and a rebuild or replacement will be necessary. I can pull the 4.6 and rebuild myself to save some $$ but I recently found a rolled 99 with a remanned 5.4 with 12k on it. He has paperwork...

    Like a proud Expy father today.

    I've owned my 99 Expy for about 5 months now and haven't really put any miles on it (probably 800 miles so far). I recently sold a boat and was offered more money to deliver it about 250 miles per way. I was supposed to borrow a truck that I knew would not give me issues as I really haven't been...

    This 0300 code is pissing me off!!

    So I've been dumping bookoos of money into this thing (which most is general maintenance stuff anyway) and I'm still getting my 0300 (random multiple cylinder misfires) code. I've replace plugs, wires, coil packs, did the EGR port clean out, replaced a leaking exhaust manifold, and did a new EGR...

    Interior lights supposed to turn off?

    I've had my '99 for a while now and just last night while waiting for fireworks I noticed that the interior and running board lights stayed on the whole time my hatch was open (kid were in the back). Is this normal for these trucks or should they turn off after a while like most other newer...

    Just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

    So I did the EGR port clean out on my 99 4.6 which cleared my P0401 code. Now when I take off under hard acceleration I feel a definite miss and my CEL light blinks but goes off. So I ran it on my scanner and got a p0300 code which is random misfire and doesn't really lead you in any particular...

    Fixed my 0401 code. Now I got 0300. Any ideas?

    So I have the p0401 code which was EGR flow insufficient. I took the throttle body apart and sure enough the ports were stopped slam up. I held the EGR port vertical and filled the pipe with carb cleaner and not a drop came out the other end (2 smaller holes). Got that all cleaned out good and...

    Help!! 4wd won't disengage.

    So last weekend I did the brown wire Mod which went flawlessly. Today I had to use 4 low to pull a boat out of a rutted up field. When I got done I tried to put it back in (A4WD) which is 2WD with my toggle off and it won't come out of 4 low. Any ideas? I even switched my brown wire toggle...

    Any way to disengage AWD?

    So I have a 99 Expy 4.6 AWD and I believe under acceleration and when pulling my boat that the AWD is engaging and disengaging. I get a jolting and while going around turn the tires chirp. Is there anyway I could disengage the AWD just to test my theory?

    Temporary head gasket oil leak

    Well after finding out that I definitely had the infamous oil weep from the passenger side head I considered replacing the gasket but I'm still not sure this truck is worth all that so I was contemplating just living with it like so many do. I got thinking about it and many times on our racecars...

    Best head gaskets????

    So I have the infamous oil drip on the passenger side of my new to me 99 XLT 4.6. I can stand it for now as it's not dripping bad but I want to start compiling parts to do the head job. What's the best head gasket for the job? I'll get the heads machined and pressure tested and all. Is there a...

    No wipers, fuses and relays good

    I just noticed after owning this truck for 2 weeks that my wipers aren't working. Front or rear. I've checked the fuses and relays and all are good. The washer pumps work but even when pushing those the wipers still don't move. When I turn them on I can hear the relays switching but no signs of...

    Oil smoke from back of motor STILL!!

    So I changed the valve cover gaskets on my 99 Expy 4.6 and I'm still getting smoke bellowing out of the rear of the motor especially after hard acceleration. I put new valve cover gasket which after i removed the original ones I had suspicions that this was not my problem as they were blue...

    Valve cover gasket replacement, advice wanted

    Well I just got done putting new plugs and wires on my 99 4.6 Expy and noticed the valve cover gaskets leak a little. I ordered some today, should be here tomorrow and I'm just looking for any tips on doing these (other than let a stealership do them). I got plenty of extensions and swivels and...

    New member in Va.

    Hello gents and ladies. I recently acquired a 99 XLT Expedition through a barter. I traded a 1986 Toyota 4Runner project that I had much blood, sweat and tears into but I never drove the thing and I hated seeing it sit. Also I was in need of something I could easily put the wife and 2 boys in...
