    Suspension Upgrade

    Update: Monroe Quick Struts are going to be replaced very soon for something of higher quality. I have almost no damping. For a while I have been diving right under braking which I am 99% sure is from a bad strut. They were fine for a few months but now the truck does not handle well. May get...

    Ford F150 & Expedition Front Hub and Bearing Replacement

    I replaced both front hub/bearing assemblies with abs sensors in an attempt to fix my advancetrac issues. I am stilling getting code C1122, faulty front left wheel speed sensor input voltage. My abs kicks on randomly under normal braking or even no braking at all. I believe either the new sensor...

    vibration in gas pedal

    Just want to let anyone else with this issue know what I found, Had this problem for a week or two. The pedal vibrated when the throttle was slightly open (maybe first half inch of pedal movement). Turns out the throttle cable has a clip to keep it connected to the cruise control cable. This...

    tires are wearing on the inside

    Tom, What brand did you go with for the steering parts? On rockauto I can get Moog problem solver tie rods (inner and out) for $114, and could get Motorcraft for $175. I am also looking into detroit axle.

    Lean Code

    P0174 Changed out pcv valve. Fuel trims are still high for bank 2. Can not find a vacuum leak anywhere, but I swear I hear a hissing. This is driving me nuts.

    Lean Code

    Im sorry, I believe the "fuel" line is actually a coolant line. I am not totally sure, but regardless I still am having trouble removing the clip holding the PCV valve. Thanks

    Lean Code

    Pulled a lean code off bank 2 sensor 1. Replaced this sensor a year ago so I figure this code is from a vacuum leak somewhere. I couldn't find a leak anywhere and figured I'd change the PCV valve while I had stuff apart. The valve pulls right out of the crankcase housing, didn't even need to...

    Lucas Oil Complete Fuel Treatment

    Figured I would let you all know about this stuff. My uncle used this in his 98 XLT 5.4 religiously. I was getting bad mileage in my truck (2004 EB 5.4 160k miles). 14.7 mpg over 200 miles on flat highway in upstate new york (I90). I started using this lucas oil treatment about a week ago...

    Suspension Upgrade

    Yea, got alignment. You honestly have to. The new suspension will give it a very slight lift which will throw off the steering geometry.

    Suspension Upgrade

    For anyone interested The install was a alright. Tie rods had to be torched to undo. Once I got them off it was not too bad. I was able to do rears without taking tie rods off, just had to muscle new parts in. Would have been much nicer if it wasn't 20 degrees out. Ride is amazing. Being...

    Suspension Upgrade

    Thanks 2004XLT I ordered the Monroe's last night. I understand what you mean, lots of bad roads! I live in CT so I am frequently blasting around winding hilly roads... but I still have an expedition, not a BMW. Future plans are for a 240Z so I will save the German products for then. I...

    Suspension Upgrade

    I just took the tires off and looked some more. The coils are coated in a material which is starting to rust off. I know this will not affect the strength of the spring initially, but as the rust evades into the actual spring it will weaken it. I will replace everything. Now the question is...

    Suspension Upgrade

    Hey guys I am new here, first post. I have a 2004 Eddie Bauer 4x4 with about 160,000 miles. No air suspension. My father handed it down to me a while back. It is due for new shocks and possibly coils. First off, how can I determine if I need new coils? Is it simply whether or not the truck...
