    mileage on your expeditions

    I have 123K and will likely keep it until it dies. With 4 kids and a family that travels, I can't find anything better.

    console power points inoperative

    Is the ignition on when you tried using them? I wonder if they're a switched source of power. Just a thought.

    bulletproof suspension

    I've never heard of them, so I went to their web site. It's a pretty useless site, but the picture of the Expy looks pretty tough.

    what can i do about this?

    One question, is the air hot or cold? I think I have an answer. Anybody who can tell me I'm wrong, please chime in. The AC compressor comes on to dry the air for the defrost. I think it is normal. I hope this helps.

    enlgine light

    I had the same code , hose to the PVC valve had collasped. Check for leaks. I agree, the engine is getting unmetered air from somewhere.

    Is this normal?

    BTW, I can believe the truck is blue, and I really like those wheels.

    Is this normal?

    I guess to better answer your question, it's all a crap shoot. Sometimes you get lemons, sometimes you get lemonade. I've got 114000 on my 99 and have had very little trouble out of it (knock on wood), but some owners of 03's have had nothing but trouble. My Expy replaced a Grand Voyager minivan...

    Is this normal?

    Sounds like a tire out of balance.

    the Ex needs more power!

    Usually, anything to improve airflow will improve MPG, if you remember to keep your foot out of it.

    Front end hop

    Not to get off the subj,ect, but I've got 55000 miles on my set of Goodyears. BUT, I've heard that they are notorious for causing thumps, bangs and bumps. Try rotating them. If the bump moves to the back, you know it's a tire.

    Front end hop

    Just to brainstorm a bit.... it could be tire balance. That's why it starts and stops at certain speeds.

    flex fuel, what vehicles from ford are capable

    Fill us in. Unfortunately in NC there is only about 10 stations that carry E85, and the closest to me is about 50 miles away. Never the less, I'm interested in what you've learned.

    AWD bypass in 99?

    If my memory is correct, it's fuse 104. Anyone out there confirm.

    flex fuel, what vehicles from ford are capable

    As far as I know, there are no Expeditions that are flex fuel. Flex fuel is the ability to burn regular gas or E85, which is 85% ethanol, 15% gas.

    Repair or Replace 2000 Expedition

    The way I see it; will the Expy be worth the money you put in it? It's always cheaper to keep her. Do you have anything else to pull your boat?
