    Stock wheel question

    I have a 1999 5.4 Expedition. It came with the 16 cast wheels. I would like to get another set, one for snow one for summer, but I guess Ford changed the lugs in mid year. How do I know if I have a 12MM or 14 MM offset?

    Torque converter taking a dump?

    The tranny in my 99 expy has been acting a little funny, but has gotten worse in the last few days. I noticed when I lift off the gas at freeway speeds it kinda lurches and the RPM's don't drop way down, they just slowly go down. During normal acceleration it seems like it has 5 gears as...

    No cold air

    Just started this year, the AC blows nice and toasty, if I switch to vent, the air is cooler, but not cold. I can hear a fizzy sound from what I think is the rear compressor. Could this be a blend door issue? 1999 expy with manual controls

    Goofy tranny or tach?

    I bought it last year from an elderly couple that past away. It had 19k on it then. Its really from my winter driving and k9 transporting. The tack dropping is relatively new but the hunting issue has been around a while. I will try a power flush next!! If I recall it does it even with the...

    Goofy tranny or tach?

    I noticed the tranny "hunting" while travelling about 30-45 mph even with the cruise set. I have changed the fluid 3x now with the same results. I have now noticed under moderate acceleration as the speedo goes by about 50 I can watch the tach drop a few hundred RPMs and then jump right back...

    lubricant for front/rear axles - differentials

    The front is easy to change, I have the lube for the rear but it also calls for a "Friction modifier" as well.

    Starting Woes

    Just a few days ago my 99 Expy has gotten moody on when it wants to start. When I turn the key I get one click and then nothing. If I do it a few times it will usually start. I checked the Haynes book which said to jump the ignition connection on the starter relay to the pos. term and it...

    Cleaning injectors

    I do agree, it seems as though the heads themselves get more junk in/on them instead of the injectors.

    Cleaning injectors

    The picture you see is a device that connects to the fuel rails and cleans the injectors. There is a injector cleaning system on EBAY for about $300 right now. It is the same kind that hooks into the fuel rails.

    Cleaning injectors

    I haven't seen anything new. You can make a homemade rig, like I did for my GTP. This is what it looks like for mine: This unit threaded onto the schreaver port on the fuel rail and you ran off th can. I haven't played much with the expedition since I started porting my GTP heads.

    Lube locations?

    So, nobody takes care of lubrication on their vehicles?

    Cleaning injectors

    Has anyone ever used an injector cleaner, not the kind you pour in either. I do my Pontiac by disconnecting a vacuum line which sucks the cleaner in and you shut the car off and let it sit. You start it about 20 minutes later and it blows all the crap out. Anyone do this with the expedition?

    Lube locations?

    I have been doing my own maint. on my 99 5.4 liter but I can't find all the lube points. According to the Chiltons there are like 4 or 5 but I have only been able to find one. How many are there?

    Tranny Hunting?

    I will indeed check. I did do a fluid check, all but the brakes and rear diff. It says it is a sealed system therefore not to change the rear. Besides that I don't know where to get the "additive" by Ford or how much it will be. I bought the vehicle off a deceased old couple.

    change fluid (how to)???

    On my 99 XLT with the 5.4 motor I was able to drain the pan and I also removed a rubber stopper that covered access to the torque converter. After rotating the crank there was a small bolt, like 8mm or so that after undoing drained the converter. This allowed me to do almost a full service.

    Tranny Hunting?

    My tranny seems to have an issue "hunting" between gears. I bought it used with 22k on it. It now has 33k on it and it seems that while cruising around 35 to 40 mph the tranny hunts between gears. Now this could have something to do with slight inclines, however it is very annoying. It...

    Swapping manual climate controls for a digital one?

    I checked the old threads and didn't see anything on this. I am used to my 00 Pontiac GTP having auto climate controls. I know they are available in the Expedition, however my XLT did not come with it. Is it possible to swap them out, I know people in the GTP world have done it, however I...
