    Torque Steer?

    Check sway bar bushings and tie rods too. When you say alignment is perfect, do you mean an alignment shop said it is aligned perfectly or drives straight going down the road? These aren't always the same thing.

    "HD" tow package 2005 Eddie Bauer

    No i dont know him, he just happened to post very recently and it only has 82k miles which was surprising. Picture 2 and a little piece of 11 on the craiglist ad show rocker panel, at least way more than mine. Drivers door and other angles aren't available though I admit, but i bet if you ask...

    2003 Expy XLT: Rear sway bar bushing bracket/holder bolts spin.

    Do the end of the bolts have a hex head on it? It looks like you could put a box wrench on the nut, and a socket or wrench on the end of the bolt to prevent the bolt from turning. Otherwise soak it with a penetrant and try an impact wrench. I too upgraded to a Belltech, replacing the whole sway...

    Need advice: Keep or sell

    I must be missing something here... How do you remove and replace valve covers and then the rockers in less than an hour? Maybe if the motor was pulled already?? I agree with your sentiment either way, just more curious about the 'less than an hour' thing than anything

    Can't get a reading from ODB port

    Test fuse 41, probably 20 amp. Your owners manual should list it as 'OBD II diagnostic connector' or maybe something about 'data link'. http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/04exdog3e.pdf

    Odd 4WD problem

    Hey Terence, a few quick questions.. What model year is the expy? Do you mean A4WD instead of AWD? I didn't think you could have AWD and 4x4 both, but I learn something new every day. What road the road conditions, are you driving in 4x4 on dry pavement?

    Vacation - Battery disconnect ?

    Hey MrSticker, as you discovered yes you should charge a new battery after purchase. They slowly discharge just sitting on the shelf. Glad you've got it all solved.

    Misfire count

    Welcome to the forum John! Yea the cat is toast, but it doesn't seem clogged yet, power still seems good, but I'm sure that's eventually coming for it. My misfire rate is low, something like 1 or 2 misfires per 1,000 cylinder 'events'.

    Misfire count

    Thanks for the extra info John, check out my post (#25) on page 3 to see my O2 graphs using the Forscan for iOS app. The bank 2 catalyst looks pretty grimm... That's a good tip on the propane, I have not used that method yet.

    Misfire count

    Moose, unfortunately the regulator is integral to the pump on the 2003. Unless you're saying I can somehow replace just that part on the pump assembly?

    Misfire count

    Toby - yea Mode $06 is where I've been tracking the misfires. No misfire codes are being thrown, I'm only chasing the misfires because of the P0430 light that came on (but hasn't been back in a few days now). When I changed the COP's I reset the computer (removed positive cable from battery &...

    2004 VIN plate locations?

    Looking at the link MrSticker provided, it looks like a mechanic employed by a dealer or a police officer can verify the VIN. Maybe the dealership would do it for free, I've read that others have had success with that route.
