    Swapping transfercase

    Is there any reason the manual BW4406 wouldn't work in place of the TOD BW4406? For the sake of discussion, the year and drivetrain are the same. I've looked under my F150 and Expedition, and I can't see why mechanically it won't be a bolt on with driveshafts, etc. but would the VSS be an...

    BW4406 TOD to manual BW4406.

    So after being let down for the last time this past weekend, I'm seriously looking at swapping the current transfercase to a manual one. Assuming I don't care about making the dashlights work (because I don't), what is keeping me from making the swap? I'm assuming the driveshafts should bolt...

    Anyone in the forums still on 37s?

    I've noticed some of the older members (Thermo, Babysilk, etc.) who had 1st gens on 37s no longer post. Anyone else running bigger tires (37s or bigger)? For how long and any issues so far?

    1sr gen: Best shocks for washboard roads?

    I realize the options are limited for the first gen, but has anyone used reservoir shocks? If ao, which ones? Or what do you recommend for a little more high speed driving?

    Broken front axle tube

    Has anyone else had this problem? I'm 2 for 2 in the last 6 months. The first one, it appeared to he a stress break near the mounting point. On this one, it appears to be a stress break, again, all the way around adjacent to the differential. Did some google fu, and it seems there's quite a...

    Running 37's. What to look for?

    I've been lurking for a while and doing quite a bit of reading, but haven't found any good write ups. The inspiration for my Expy is Babysilk's, but I haven't seen any recent posts about his vehicle. From what I gathered, he had a TT/3" with a 3" bodylift, but haven't found the nuances of what...

    Brown Wire Mod and stuck in 4Hi. Ideas?

    Quick Synopsis: 2000 Ford Expedition 5.4L Eddie Bauer. Did the brown wire mod almost as soon as I bought the Expedition. I used a lighted switch so I could tell when GEMS was engaged and when it wasn't. Haven't had a chance to switch it into 4hi and 4lo for about 6 months (give or take)...

    brown wire mod, revisited.

    After noticing that the front axle appears to be live all the time, I went off to Google to research. During said research I came across a post either here or on F150forums which alluded to the fact that while the switch is disabled (or in the case of mine, the brown wire is simply cut), 2wd hi...

    Torsion bar interchange: which ones?

    Like the title states, which bars fit the Expedition? Form what I've read so far, the 7700 bars are the stiffest, and the 55.25" is the correct length, but which trucks have the appropriate length for our trucks? The reason I ask: I am going to do some preventative maintenance to the front...

    Stock foglights to LED lightbar

    Has anyone tried wiring a small lightbar in place of the stock driving lights/fog lights? I was looking at the amp draw of this set, and I don't think it will be an issue. Any pros/cons/opinions are appreciated. 8" LED lightbar

    JKS manufacturing shock conversion

    I was going through the pepboys website looking for Monroe's 58518's to replace my front shocks and while looking at the compatible parts for the Expedition, this came up: JKS Manufacturing shock conversion kit I looked up the company and they seem to be Jeep specific. Now, I know there's...

    New guy from Texas

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been looking for a decent SUV for long trips and mild off reading. After much searching I found a pretty decent 2000 Eddie Bauer model with 177000 miles. Aside from the minor annoyances (stuck sunroof, stuck rear gate), it's a really good specimen. It...
