    '00 EB 4.6L/2WD Rear Axle swap compatibility

    Hey John, thanks for the response and advice. The very best mpg's I got with my 3.31's was 16.5 on a road trip. I've NOT been able to duplicate that since-even on the exact same trip!!! I avg about 14.5 now, hwy. City mpg is abysmal. So my 8.8 backing plates/rotors, etc. will bolt on to a...

    '00 EB 4.6L/2WD Rear Axle swap compatibility

    I STILL would like to know WHAT were the Ford engineers thinking in mating a FACTORY-size 32" dia. tire WITH 3.31 gears?!?!?!?!? By all that's Holy, I can't understand why they'd do such a thing and I haven't been able to find a satisFACTORY answer anywhere. I'm thinking I'll stick with the...

    '00 EB 4.6L/2WD Rear Axle swap compatibility

    Thanks for the response, Yager. That's a great idea going up the 9.75 vs my 8.8.

    '00 EB 4.6L/2WD Rear Axle swap compatibility

    I'd like to swap out my 3.31 geared rear axle for a 3.73 or 3.90 from a standard suspension Expedition. What years are compatible/interchangeable with my 2000? My thinking is, it's a lot cheaper and simpler to swap the entire axle vs re-gearing. I can't get a gearset purchased and installed...

    Random misfire on 4.6

    I was having the very same issue with my '00 EB 4.6L. I can "feel" a slight miss or uneven idle. It's very slight and hard to detect, but I can feel and hear it. I've replaced COPs, plugs, and switched injectors to no avail. Took it to a Ford "specialist" who claimed they had Ford scan...

    My AutoCool III Electric Fan Conversion

    How's the amp draw??? What brand and amp capacity alt did you buy? Is the rated amp output for your new alt, at idle or 2-3k rpm? Thanks.

    I'm Stumped

    Based on the symptoms you gave us-it ran, but now it cranks with no start, let's assume that you have spark, HAD fuel, and it has air, I'd start with addressing the fuel angle.

    New headlight bulb recommendations?

    Sorry to be such a clueless moron but what does "HID" stand for and what are the part #'s for Expedition's? Also, how much brighter are they vs factory bulbs? I know that the answer is rather objective, but for poop and laughter's sake, HOW much brighter are we talking-night and day, or just a...

    NEED Recommendation for LEGIT, HONEST shop in So. Cal.?

    I have an '00 EB Expy, 4.6L 2V that I need to have diagnosed WITHOUT paying dealership prices. My engine feels like it's missing, no power, stumbles upon acceleration, however, idles ok. The problem is-NO CODES!!! NO PENDING CODES, either. I'll get it to operating temp, drive it around the...

    Service Engine Soon light

    All great suggestions. Just be aware that "some" AutoZone employees will try to "diagnose" your DTC to sell you a COP or whatever. I'd NOT buy anything until you've researched the code(s) and the remedies.

    '00 Expy/4.6L slight miss @ idle NO CODES

    My Expy has a slightly, almost undetectable, rough idle. It's a bit more pronounced at higher RPM's. BUT NO CODES. I'm a bit stumped as I've replaced all my COPs, due to earlier misfire codes in multiple cylinders. I've also removed the injectors and cleaned them. Also, I've taken it to my...

    2002 Ford Expedition 5.4 XLT Cylinder 5 Problem

    Is the connector clip NOT holding the COP harness in? They are known to break easily-especially if you've removed them a few times. I had to buy a set of new harnesses for my '00 EB/4.6L as some of the harness clips broke while I was chasing a P0305.
