    New Toy! 1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

    Little update. Bought some 35” tires for the expy this week. And did an oil change finally. Found out I have a remote oil filter behind the bumper which is kinda cool. More too come!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Toy! 1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

    Jim Brown welcome to Expys and AZ off roading. I grew up Off roading in AZ and have had all different kinds of toys from a Baja Bug to a couple pickups and Jeeps. They are all fun and rewarding in their own way! So I have been trying to read my trans temps but my OBD2 reader doesn't seem to...

    New Toy! 1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

    Hey guys its been a while. Have done a few things to the expy since I was on here last. I pulled the Tcase and resealed it and did the transmission filter. Stripped a damn transmission pan bolt while I was doing it (hasn't leaked yet, knock on wood). And now the battery took a crap. I tell ya if...

I got home this evening to find a pool of red fluid under the truck... got under there to take a look and it looks like its coming from between the transmission and transfer case. Wonderful my first thought is the tranny so I go pull the dip stick wipe it off reinsert...

    New Toy! 1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

    I had another thought tonight. My wife has a 2011 XLT Expedition and I was looking at her radiator fans. I think with some minor modifications a set of Electric fans from a 3rd gen would fit a 1st gen. Measurements are close I would just have to come up with some mounting brackets. Anybody ever...

    New Toy! 1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

    Finished the Gotts mod today. Haven't taken her for a spin yet. I will sometime this weekend. Turned out pretty good I think. Belt sander made all of the difference helped to hog off most of the PVC. I even pulled the inner fender to make sure I didn't stick the pipe in too far and cut off air.

    Stepcajun just planning on doing springs instead of spacers. Only looking for 2.5-3”. I’m going to get them. I’ll be sure to document when I do it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Toy! 1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

    Hey guys. So I found a guy that has some F250 front springs for really cheap out where I live. I've read that these can be used in place of the spacer for a 2.5" lift in the rear. Has anybody done this or have any info on this? I've tried searching but couldn't find anything. Debating on...

    Rob are your torsion bars sagging? Or like ball joints and other components? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New Toy! 1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

    Well time for an update. Couldn't find the Hy-poxy alumbond stuff but I did find a JB weld that said it was for aluminum. Tried it out and it worked out OK. Slowed the leak but it still has a small drip. Might try to re clean it up and add some. We'll see, not sure if I want to buy two more...

    Looks like JB Weld for Aluminum! That should work. Ill see if I can find some local this week. And 2 more quarts of Transfer case fluid.

    New Toy! 1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

    Well I think I found my leak! thankfully not the transmission like I had thought. But it is the transfer case. Looks to me like there is a crack around the drain plug. Any thoughts on how to fix this guys? My first thought was to drain the T-case (again) and JB weld that crack. Think I should do...

    Stepcajun did you do both top and bottom? If so when you did the top did you just do the whole control arm? I know that’s how most folks do these. Have you guys found any heavier duty ball joints that work well? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
