    Squeak when shifting at high acceleration

    I have definitely experienced the same thing in my '03 EB. Only happens when Im really giving it the beans. Does have high K so shifts are a bit hard at high RPM which is when it squeaks, but so far no issues at all. I did however replace by serp belt recently so I guess there could be some...

    "Humming" Noise at Speed Driving me NUTS (25mph - 60mph)

    I haven't done the hub yet but I have a strong feeling that this is probably the case for me. Regarding the link to provided to the axle kit, is that the correct one with the bag of grease? Doesn't the axle kit include the bearings and stuff? I really REALLY dont want to rebuild the diff, but...

    Aftermarket Radio

    BUMP for crappy generic Chinese decks that will leave you disappointed... :P I had a Power Acoustic double din in my Delica which I only bought cause the van was Right-Hand Drive and the stereo had the buttons down the right side which was convenient and ergonomic. It certainly did everything...

    "Humming" Noise at Speed Driving me NUTS (25mph - 60mph)

    Just a little update. Jacked up the truck again last night to check the drive shaft input into the diff for play. Also while it was up I gave the passenger rear wheel a shake side to side and it was tight. Jacked up the other side to check the drivers rear wheel and... clunk clunk clunk, has...

    "Humming" Noise at Speed Driving me NUTS (25mph - 60mph)

    Thanks for the affirmation. Stupid question but, is there any possibility of being able to grease the half shafts without disassembling everything?

    lets see your rides

    My old Delica and my new '03 Expy Out with the old: My 1994 Mitsubishi Delica 4x4 - Right-hand drive Japanese import (very common in western Canada). Low-range 4x4 w/factory locker. Love and miss my old camping roadtrip mobile. Best part about it was the reactions from other drivers south...

    How long will my expedition last?

    Almost EXACTLY my situation! I picked up a 2003 EB with 190k miles for $2000 a few weeks ago. Good shape and everything works except for the drivers heated seat (which ****** me off) and the traction control light is flashing... but oh well it was cheap! Mine was very well maintained by the...

    "Humming" Noise at Speed Driving me NUTS (25mph - 60mph)

    Hey guys, figured Id just start a new thread seen as how all the others I have read don't really fit my issue. I have a very annoying intermittent humming noise which "seems" to be coming from the front end but then sounds like the back end at speed. Its not that bad, but quite audible...

    PCV questions!

    Ok so small update, I went out and got greasy on my coffee break and followed the steps above from the other post... I pulled the valve out of the valve cover and held my finger over the tip. Nothing. No suction. Then I pulled the hose off the top of the valve and TONS of suction...

    PCV questions!

    Thanks a lot! That sounds like a good approach. The truck has 306,000km on it now so I think I might just opt to replace the valve if not the whole thing, as I have a 2000km roadie to go on over Christmas. I also found this post on another forum that looks very helpful in case anyone is...

    PCV questions!

    I guess I've developed a little oil leak on my '03 5.4L, and oil ends up on the headers/exhaust on the right rear of the motor and smokes up a little. Thought it might be something difficult to isolate (I hate troubleshooting oil leaks). Any way, I just glanced under my hood after reading a...

    Brake/Caliper Sticking

    Brakes/Calipers I'm planning on doing my pads and rotors after work today. Got a sweet setup from Maxxbrakes here in Canada for $100 all in (fronts). Once I get in there, what is the best way to clean/treat the calipers? Would it be best to give them a good soaking with brake cleaner? Is...
