    Power Inverter

    Generators around here seem to be still expensive even used ones around 5-600, plus the storage unit does have issues with noise. And most generaotrs ive heard are pretty darn loud. But ill keep searching.

    What would cause this?

    this is a tough situation being an intermittent problem. but my first quesiton would be how the engine died? Did it spit and sputter and try to keep running or just straight cut out (like something electrical just killed the ignition)? figure those questions out and it can point you closer to...

    Bluetooth OBD2 Adapter + Torque App for Realtime Info and Fault Codes

    Torque is a great app and inexpensive! However an app i happen to like better but it is more pricey is DashCommand. this one has a much nicer looking screen and better layout in my opinion but its 9.95, the problem is it has advanced parameters per vehicle manufacturer that's an extra 9.95. I...

    Possible Engine & Tranny ...

    I am not 100% sure as previously stated. I would try it but I wouldn't be surprised to see a small change in something like sensor location or different type of sensor all together. My best example of this was with Jeep Grand Cherokees ( I know not ford) but I had a 1997 obd-II with I-6 motor...

    Impressed! COP quesitons

    ok I`ll give it a shot this weekend I think. Also the reason I purchased this particular expedition, the previous owner claims to have had the cylinder head work done in the time he owned it. however I have no receipt to prove this. What is the torque spec for the plugs?

    Possible Engine & Tranny ...

    the 02 engine might not work as well in the 98. the block will be the same im sure but i can bet sensors are different and there will be different plug ins that they did not have in 98 also going form 4.6 to 5.4 will require Engine, Harness, Computer, and miscellanous other differences. im going...

    Timing Chain

    So i was just curious on my 2001 expedition 5.4 4x4 what is the timing chain change interval for this motor? or is there even a recommended interval? i like the dont fix it if it aint broke theory but with timing chains i prefer to catch them before a catastrophe happens. ( my truck has 262K and...

    How many miles do you have on your Gen 1?

    i bought my 2001 xlt 4x4 with 260k halfway through a 2000 mile road trip. only problem i had was coming up through indianapolis i lost #5 coil, i realized after the 10 minutes it took to replace it just how lucky i was that it wasnt a cylinder 4 misfire.
