    Ignition Coils

    i have a whole list of things to replace and spark plugs are one of them. I dont know how much they would be from the junkyard and have thought about the fact if they are good or not. This is why i was wondering about trying to get them from a newer model. Where did you get them from on ebay...

    Ignition Coils

    I am in the process of preparing to do a tune up on my 97 with a 5.4 and will be replacing all 8 ignition coils at one time. I already replaced one and i believe that it is going bad already. This was about a year ago. My question is if i went to the junkyard to get the coils off of a newer...

    wheels for 97 EB

    I have been looking around the different wheel places and apparently i cant find many choices for the 97 model. Where have people been getting their wheels from? Tirerack has off the wall stuff i dont care for. I dont really care for the fancy big eye popping wheels. I would just like a nice rim...

    Do you have any pictures? what did you do to secure the HU into the dash to prevent it from moving around or theft for that matter?

    Painting trim pieces

    Has anyone ever painted the trim pieces around the windows and on the back corners? I have a 97 and they are looking pretty bad. It looks though that it would require some sanding first but im just curious to see if anyone has done and the results?

    Factory NAV Setup in older expy

    I have been wondering if it is possible and if anyone has ever installed a newer ford hu with navigation and all the bells and whistles into an older expy. Mine is a 97 EB with the mach system. I would like to upgrade to one with navigation for my wife but I dont want a aftermarket one since...

    This is getting old quick!!!

    Have you run codes yet whether the light is on or not? I had a similar problem and it wound up being a bad coil pack. Whens the last time a tune up has been done, fuel filter? Just trying to rattle off things to look into.

    2000 Ford Expedition Door lock problems

    Mine have been starting to do that and its a 97. Ford was never well known for good durable door lock motors. I would take the door panel off and lube all the linkages and pray. I know in my mustang the motors are about 80$ brand new. I just havent had the time to break into my doors on the EB...

Did you make sure to do the reset in an area that had...

Not just due to rust but to time, contraction and also i heard that ford used the wrong hardware anyways. So good luck. I did...
