    Time to park it?

    I have a 2000 XLT 5.4 4x4 with 360000 miles on original engine. Other than new intake manifold no major engine build.

    Is a 2001 Expedition the right truck for us?

    I have a 2000 XLT 5.4, full time AWD with 352K miles on the original engine and tranny. I pulled a 4000Lb boat and trailer for years in hilly country with this truck. It has the tow package and is perfect for heavy hauling. As mentioned in this thread, these are easy to fix and inexpensive to...

    The problem is the ANTILOCK brake module/servo that sits on the brake ma automatically or by the brake master cylinder and pumps the brakes to keep you straight in a skid. The one in my 2000 Expy did the same thing years ago. I simply pulled fuse 102 and to this day pump the brakes my self.

    2000 Expy, 5.4 Full time AWD 327k Miles. I replaced my cracked, coolant leaking factory manifold with the aftermarket Dorman in 2011. In addition to COP ignighters NOT shorting out, I got a better running 5.4. The larger size and air volume flow makes a noticeable improvement. 6 years later and...
