    CEL Code 1450, can't find the issue, help

    Thanks. I already had all of that info. I also have 3 10 hour workdays until I leave for my trip which is why I said that I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'll grab a new gas cap from the dealer first.

    CEL Code 1450, can't find the issue, help

    I have the P1450 code right now in my '01 4.6. No CEL, just stumbling on acceleration which I attributed to a bad COP until I had the codes run. COP is a 5 minute fix for me, but I'm not sure how to handle this one. This sucks because I have a trip to Chincoteague, VA this week (6 hours each...

    for those with a CCW, where do you keep your sidearm?

    Freeway, check out a Milt Sparks holster. I've carried a Milt Sparks Summer Special for years. I'm a abit of a gear ***** and have tried everything from Unce Mike's basic nylon stuff up to custom leather gear. For IWB, I prefer Milt Sparks, hands down. For outside carry, Andy...

    fuel filter

    Easily done on your own. My 14 y/o daughter helped me with mine, just to have some dad time. The filter was $6 or $7 at Autozone and the tool was about the same. Pull the fuse for the fuel pump, disconnect the lines going to and from the filter and snap in the new one. Took me ten minutes...

    2001 Expedition push bar

    This may work... Click me for a good time. The problem is the fact that most of these police style bumpers are designed for 2WD trucks because police package SUVs rarely come in 4WD. PA State Police supervisors run Expeditions, but everyone I have seen is 2WD.

    Check Engine Light

    My '01 has CoPs. I changed the factory ones out with Accels last year and have had them go bad intermittently on me. Drove up to West Point last Friday (a little over 750 miles round trip). Truck ran beautifully on the way up. Had lunch with a few friends and when my buddy and I went to leave...

    Yep. That is the standard for locking them. Sorry, I should have mentioned that.

    Immediately after you hit the code, hit the 3/4 button. This will unlock the rest of the doors.

    Blacked out

    If you want to try the Plasti-Dip, check out youtube for dipyourcar.com or go to their site. Very informative and lots of how-to videos.

    Tow ball equipment for 2001 Expedition, what to get?

    You need a hitch mount to fit the trailer you are pulling (keep the trailer level or near to level). I have a 3.5" drop on mine currently for the 2 horse trailer I pull. Since I went to 33s, I should probably get a 4.5".

    What's your GAS price in your town?

    $3.79 for regular here in southcentral PA. Made the mistake of filling up when my light went on. $94.01 (Because the damn numbers run so fast, you can't get it stop on the .00 anymore)

    What do you guys think about this?

    The bottom of the ad says that they are greasable, so I should be good to go. Thanks.

    What do you guys think about this?

    So, my Expy is closing in on 170,000 miles and I ran across this on Ebay. For the price, I'm thinking about just doing everything and having it all new. I would most likely get my local mechanic do it. Ebay Link, front suspension components Do any of you see anything that screams "don't...
