    Question concerning rear door locks.....?

    Yes I think my 2000 Expy is cursed. Everything works great except for those door locks. The driver door seems to be the worst in my case, so I bought an actuator (it's still on my workbench, haha). And what is up with the child locks putting themselves on? My rear passenger door does it...

    Which speed sensor?

    Well I don't know if this helps much, but if your speedometer is working then the differential sensor should be good. I know from personal experience that when that sensor fails your speedometer will go wacky. Also cruise control won't work and the o/d light may flash. Since you don't have...

    3rd row seat question?

    Well that explains why I have the setup and the OP doesn't. Mine is just like the TonyRay photo. Sorry about that! So it sounds like the seatbelt method may be the way to go? seems strange that Ford would have designed it that way.. but I am not an engineer.

    2000 exp w/code P0174 runs roughly and stalls constantly help?

    In the interest of full transparency, a shop actually replaced the coil and plugs. Should have said "I had the coil and spark plugs replaced" instead of "I replaced...). Also, in the shop diagnosis they said they swapped the 8 coil pack with the number 2 pack. A new code was generated to...

    2000 exp w/code P0174 runs roughly and stalls constantly help?

    My 2000 Expy and I were up in Washington state when the same thing happened to me. It wouldn't stall out completely, just was running very rough. I went to AutoZone and got the same story you did. It was the same code P0174 and the guy told me exactly what the guy told you. Cylinder 8...

    3rd row seat question?

    It seems to me it latches somehow. It's been so long since I had the seat in the vehicle. It makes a nice garage seat though. Seriously, on page 102 of my 2000 Owners Manual it has the answer. Tilt the seat forward. You lift the latch up out of the center of the floor so it is vertical...

    2000 exp w/code P0174 runs roughly and stalls constantly help?

    My 2000 Expy 5.4 was recently reporting the same code. It was running rough. It was indeed the #8 coil pack, I put in new plugs, cleaned the MAF sensor. Running great now.

    Severe misfiring on 5.4L

    I just went through a severe misfire problem out on the road that got me stuck in Wenatchee WA for three days awaiting service. Turned out to be mainly a coil pack failure on cylinder 2. Replaced the single coil and all of the spark plugs and my rough idling/misfiring/SES light flashing all...

    Sumitomo Encounter vs.Pirelli Scorpion Verde vs. Falken Wildpeak HT tires

    My experience with the Pirelli Scorpions is they seem to wear prematurely and I have had two Pirelli failures (albeit on another vehicle). On the other hand they handle great. I'm thinking of Falken ATs next time as I do occasionally like to get off the pavement. Because of my towing needs I...

    It never ends

    Moose you're not alone. I bring my wife's Subaru in for a recall (the dreaded Takata air bag) and when I get it back, my wife tells me that the Low Tire Pressure light is on. I had just changed the oil and checked the tires about a month previous. I check it out and all four tires have 25 lbs...

    What’s you’re avg. mpg in your expy

    I don't know about city/highway figures yet, but I am averaging 12.6 mpg. 2000 EB. This average includes about 200 miles of recent towing (3500 lb travel trailer). I drive mostly in the burbs, 35-45 most places. Funny thing is trailer towing didn't seem to bring down my average. It's like...

    2000 Eddie Bauer Road Trip - Maintenance

    My 2000 EB is also green, and this thread is important to me too. Lots of good reminders. I'm going up to Fairbanks, AK and back to Sacramento next month, a 6000 mile round trip, towing a 3300lb trailer. And three passengers. My Expy has 150k miles. I just had the rear diff resealed, right...

    2000 Eddie Bauer Road Trip - Maintenance

    If your tires are ten years old or older, definitely replace them according to the DOT, tire manufacturers say six years (of course). I was driving my F-250 on 17 year old tires (! it didn't get driven much for a long time) and had a blowout on the rear at 55mph. Sounded like a shotgun went...

    Front end dips on stopping

    Thanks for the Midas tip, I think I'll have the alignment checked. As for the dipping front end I am sure a set of kybs will fix that. I've never been a big fan of Monroe shocks but they sure make a lot of different shocks, from ridiculously cheap to very expensive. Maybe they make some good...

    New to us 2000 Expy Eddie Bauer with 5.4L misc issues. Advice please.

    Welcome to the EB 2000 5.4l club. I just got here too. If I had a Chilton or Haynes manual I'd check the wiring diagrams and see which wire feeds the light. Did all EBs come with air suspension, or was it an option? Mine looks pretty normal with regular shocks (which I need to replace, but...

    Front end dips on stopping

    That's funny, I bought my Expy in San Jose (but I live near Sacramento). It's rarely seen 4 wheel drive either. I think I'll check into new shocks and report back. Thanks for suggestions. I am still learning about Expeditions but have a lot of familiarity with Broncos (5.0, 5.8) and my 92...

    Front end dips on stopping

    Thanks, yes I prefer KYB myself. I've always been happy with them. I think its replace the crummy shocks and then have the torsion bar adjustment.

    Front end dips on stopping

    I just bought a 2000 EB 5.4, 150k mi. It had new brakes done recently and new shocks (Monroes) put on. It stops great but at the very end of the stop, the front end does a little nosedive - once - and then stops. It's not dramatic but you can definitely feel it. Now, I would normally suspect...

    2000 Expedition CD Changer problem

    The stock Ford cd changers are well known for being problematic as they get older. The previous owner of my 2000 Eddie Bauer replaced everything (head unit, cd changer, subwoofer, speakers and amp) with Alpine components. It looks like it was definitely done by a pro. The 6 CD changer works...
