    I'd love to drag home a rolled 3rd gen expy and just swap the body over

    98 Expy 5.4l planning a engine rebuild, want more power!

    I'm looking to do something similar here but what I'll say is that I think you'll be better off with the PI motor. I have a 2003 F150 that's complete and driving and I am going to swap that engine and trans directly into my 97'. I also figure a little bit of a regear will give me the "umph" I'm...

    Electrical Gremlins

    A good circuit tester will be worth it's weight in gold if you have these issues

    Gear Ratios

    That's awesome info man I appreciate it. I feel like the 4.10s will give me just enough RPMs to be able to tow the stuff that I tow over mostly flat ground and it not feel like its hunting for gear. I feel like 4.10s is the move with 33s.

    Gear Ratios

    So I was pulling a 8x16 enclosed trailer and first off the truck really didn't seem to like that haha but this got me thinking. I have 33s on my truck now and it seems to now be searching for gear. The truck would kick down back to 3rd with the slightest head wind. I feel like if I had a few...

    Transmission or transfer case??

    Can you identify where the griding noise is coming from? ATF look or smell burnt?

    My Tow Pig Revival

    Not much of an update but after replacing my head unit and all 4 door speakers I decided I wanted to get the subwoofer to work to really round out the sound of the truck so I pulled out the sub woofer and I am going to just install a new 8 in sub back in the factory box and get a new amp. Stinks...

    Overland Window Storage

    https://www.vanagonlife.com/vanagonshop/vowdriver So this is what I'm curious about and I have not seen much in the way of these window replacements but I love the idea. Is the rear quarter glass just held in at these three locations? What is stopping me from replacing these windows with...

    Rear leveling kit

    Yeah a 2in lift is not going to bind anything up I would not hesitate to install one if that is what you want. Another option if you want is to lower the front with the torsion keys if you have them.

    Running Boards Removed

    I never knew that you could just get universal rock sliders! Just measured my running boards and they are 79” so a set of 80in rock sliders might be in my future!

    10th Gen F-150 parts compatibility

    https://www.f150online.com/forums/v8-engines/384613-easy-swap-non-pi-5-4-pi-5-4-a.html Looks like it’s easy to go from the NPI 5.4 to the PI motor. That’s awesome news for me lol

    10th Gen F-150 parts compatibility

    Right now it looks like I will be buying a 2002 F-150 from my Brother in law. He wrecked this truck and is selling it to me. I was thinking that I would use my older Expy to fix the body damage and swap my front diff to this truck then I'd just shoot it white with bedliner after tracking down a...

    Diesel Swap

    I wonder how that new 3.0 Powerstroke would fit in the engine bay of the expy :think:

    My Tow Pig Revival

    Only update I really have on this truck is I got some Tread Wright mud lord 33s on it and I’m absolutely loving it so far. After driving it like this I don’t know if I really need 4.11s or not. Truck has been great, just pulled a trailer up this wet grassy hill and I felt that LSD working so I’m...

    Gen. 1 and Gen. 2 brake rotors interchangeable?

    You'd have to change a lot more than brake rotors. Short answer is No do not try it.

    Rusted brake line

    Yeah, nothing wrong with a gravity bleed, I've done it many times. Plenty of ways to bleed it out by yourself. If you can get a rubber hose to fit on the brake bleeder you can run that hose into a can of brake fluid and then make sure you keep the master cylinder full you can pump the brakes and...

    97 expedition went crazy

    Are all these electrical gremlins present with the key off or even out of the ignition? Could be a short to power somewhere that is powering on the lights on and off with the fan motor. I know it's not much of a clue but if you can visually check the wiring and make sure a main harness somewhere...

    Upgrade brakes

    Is the hydroboost worth it? Does it give a noticeable improvement to braking? I'd love to optimize my braking performance as much as possible especially with towing (although fixing my trailer's brakes would probably help this but not all of my trailers have brakes).

    My Tow Pig Revival

    As for an update on this, the factory airbox is back in, LOL! I knew I shouldn't have slapped that cheap intake on there. Regardless though I am still tracking down whatever is causing my lean code. I see a smoke machine in my future. This though, is giving me terrible ideas. Like new PI heads...

    My Tow Pig Revival

    So I think the radio only supplied enough power to blow the poor dry rotted speakers in this truck. I installed these Kenwood speakers and for $80 shipped to the house I have no complaints. Now this has me fired up to fix the Sub in the back with a new amp and speaker. I have the RCA outputs...

    98 Expy pcm

    I have installed brand new alternators that do not charge, I'd take that back to the place you got it from if you are sure it is not putting out 14 volts
