    overdrive off light on the shifter

    I have a 1997 EB with 130,000 miles. Last night when I got in and shifted into drive the overdrive off light came on. I pressed the button twice and it still stayed on! My biggest question was when the transmission was shifted into overdrive when the light indicated it was off. This is probably...

    anyone towed a 35' travel trailer?

    On your first question about the tow package : I think the Fx4 has the package. If you had a hitch and wiring setup, a transmission oil cooler and a engine oil coller you have the towing package. I also think it's standard equipment on the 5.4L. I have a 22 ft camper now I have no problems. I...

    Radio/CD changer not working.

    I had this problem with my 1997 EB and the radio had to be replaced. My biggest problem was that I could'nt find a wire harness to hook up my 6 disc changer to my new radio. Ford wanted over 500 bucks for a new radio so I bought a after market instead. I looked all over for a used one and had no...

    Rear Differential Whine

    Hey RevFlash, our 97 EB is going to the shop tomorrow with the same type of noise you speak of in the rear end. We just put all new brakes and emergency brakes on the rear end hoping that would solve the problem but no go, it's still there. Our 97 has 127,000 and still counting. However I thing...

    bulb size for instrument cluster

    Like I said, I was trying to avoid taking the dash apart, get the bulb, put it back together, go and get the bulbs and then come home and start all over again. I've always had good luck here with tips for my 97 EB so I figured I start here first!!!!!!!!!!!

    bulb size for instrument cluster

    Does anyone know the bulb size for the instrument cluster on the 97 EB? I went to the ford dealership and they told me the size bulb they showed was'nt the correct one. I'm trying to avoid taking the dash apart 2 different times.

    Tune Up...

    We just tuned up our 97 at 110,000 and used all Motorcraft parts and also drained the transfer case, front/rear differential and transmission service. Since we turned over 75,000 miles we have used Valvoline MaxLife 5W30 oil and are EXTREMELY pleased with it. On 115,000 miles now, it still...

    4.6L Coil Pack FRUSTRATION

Take WD-40 and spray all door latches, even the back glass and door. OPen the dorrs 2 or 3 times and that should do it. At...

    Running out of gas

    I've never had this problem with my 97 expo. Did you buy your expo used? Maybe it's a fuel pump problem, if the previous owner always run it under a 1/4 tank on a daily basis, that can damage the fuel pump. Remember that the fuel keeps the pump cool inside the tank and when it's always low the...

    Switching to Synthetic Oil??

    I use the valvoline max life 5w30. 111000 thousand miles and counting. It dose'nt use any or smoke when started. I use nothing but motorcraft filters. Does the synthetic stop or reduce the ever famous piston knock in the morning until the oil gets to the top of the motor?

    Front brake replacement

    Kal, I did'nt replace the bearings and seals. But I wish I had, I have'nt had any problems at all, I just did'nt think about it. However I'm not real happy with the brake pads I bought so they might get replaced again in the future. The brake dust is terrible!!!!!!!! I'm thinking about...

    Change the spark plugs

    I bought our 1997 EB and it had 45000 on it. It now has 110000 and I'm going to change the plugs this weekend. All the records mine had never indicated the plugs were changed and it was serviced every 5000 miles. I would say unless you have problems let them go to 100000.

    Front brake replacement

    If anyone is going to do the front brakes on your 1997 and think your just going to get the rotors turned, have fun. The rotors DON'T come off easy. I ended up replacing the rotors. When they were designed the factory did'nt give the rotors very much of a gap between the hub and rotor and over...
