    P0420 booooooo

    Yep, I'm not gonna worry about it. I'm just gonna put some electrical tape to hide the glow of the service engine light

    P0420 booooooo

    After I posted this I went to clean my TB and found both breather hoses disconnected! I dunno if this had anything to do with the code but I re-connected those, cleaned my MAF and IAT, and the light is still on but the truck runs a lot smoother. I passed emissions right before this code came on...

    water leak

    Lots of info on this if you search the ol Google machine. Likely need to take the brain out and cross your fingers that drying it out works.

    P0420 booooooo

    Driving home today and my truck threw code P0420. It's a 2000 EB 4x4. 161k miles. New tranny, new cat, one new O2 sensor, new plugs and coils. Truck still drives strong and I don't notice anything amiss. I just passed emissions a month prior so I don't have to worry about that. I know this is a...

    2002 Expy stuck in 4High

    Start at the basics. Have you checked your fuse?

    Just picked up my first! A few questions...

    My door seals all look to be in great condition. However, I checked my sunroof drains and I think they're both clogged. I couldn't get a wire to go very far down them and the wire end came out with dirt on it each time. So, I considered how often I was actually going to use the sunroof (never)...

    Thanks everyone. I was hoping not to have to sink money into replacing the windshield but is hasn't rained here so we'll see. In the meantime I'm checking all the other areas mentioned.

    Just picked up my first! A few questions...

    The windshield still has the Ford logo and all so I'm operating under the assumption it hasn't been replaced - unless at the dealership I suppose. I checked the door weatherstripping when I detailed it and everything looked good but I'll be checking it again more closely, along with checking...

    Just picked up my first! A few questions...

    The liquid did not have a smell. I used to have an old Cherokee and always the dreaded the infamous heater core leak. Are there coolant lines running near the driver side floorboard area? Yep, I do have a sunroof. Haven't opened it yet to check the drains but that'll be my next step.

    Running Rough

    Did the check engine light come on? Take it to any local auto parts store and borrow their code reader. It plugs in under the driver side dash. Then post your codes here or search them on Google.

    Just picked up my first! A few questions...

    Thanks! I got it for $2k which I think was a steal. The owner paid $5k for the transmission plus install. I was under the impression the windshield leak causes the driver side to be damp. Can it affect the passenger side as well? The driver side is a clear liquid but it isn't water. I'm...

    Just picked up my first! A few questions...

    So I just got my first Expy. She's a 2000 Eddie Bauer with 161k miles. The last owner had her for ten years. I just gave her a full detail (after this pic was taken, sorry). I know there are a couple very slow leaks (not enough to leave any drips on the ground, just slow seeps that burn off) but...

    Do you trust your first gen?

    I'm possibly picking up a '99 XLT 4x4 with the 5.4 and 139k miles today or next week. I'm selling a car I financed because the allure of going back to no payments is too strong. I need a rig that is reliable enough to commute 40miles a day four times a week, haul a couple kids and a dog over...

    1999 XLT 5.4 or 2005 Tahoe Z71

    Not sure where you live but that isn't the case where I live. $3k is on the high end for older, used Expeditions here but all of them are somewhere between $2-3k as long as they have a clean title and aren't beat up.
