    2004 replacement ABS speed sensor

    I'll be looking into those - thanks for the link. What kind of prep is involved with the slip ons?

    2004 replacement ABS speed sensor

    Yep - rusting away. Typical Minnesota Expy. With 180k miles on it, i'm not sure it's worth the $$$ to have them replaced.

    2004 replacement ABS speed sensor

    The stance of the Expy in your profile pic is awesome (I'm assuming it's yours)!!! I'd try to copy it if I still had rocker panels.

    2004 replacement ABS speed sensor

    I went with the 3-year NAPA hub. Finally found the connector after removing the inner fender liner and feeling around on the bottom of the inner fender.

    2004 replacement ABS speed sensor

    I ended up replacing the hub. Got everything installed, but spent the last couple hours hunting for the harness connection for the abs sensor, but can't find it. Does this thing tend to go into hiding?

    2004 replacement ABS speed sensor

    I purchased it locally. Unfortunately it can't be returned because my son-in-law used a hammer and screwdriver to 'convince' the sensor to fit. I'd normally do the work, but injured my thumb and am benched for awhile. I'll use the VIN on a search to see if it mkkes a difference.

    2004 replacement ABS speed sensor

    I forgot to add that the sensor bottoms out on the ring inside the hub and can't be tightened down. I also verified the part number earlier today.

    2004 replacement ABS speed sensor

    I'm replacing the LF abs sensor on my '04 XLT. It turns out that the pickup on the old sensor is completely different from the new one - the old one is a cylinder, the new one is about 1/4" longer and rectangular. The cable length and rubber retention points are the same on both old and new...

    Front HVAC temp

    Thanks for the info!! Can anybody tell me if there's a semi-easy way to see the actuator and blend door without dismantling the dash (flashlight and mirror)?

    Front HVAC temp

    I have an 04 XLT with manual climate control. Adjusting the temp control has no effect on the air temp out of the vents with or without the a/c engaged. Using the Max a/c setting does put out cold air. I don't hear any noises under the dash when adjusting the temp control. Based on what...

    2004 rear different cover removal

    Thanks for the info. It doesn't sound too bad to do - I'll get started when the garage floor warms up a bit.

    2004 rear different cover removal

    My 04 Expy has a slow leak from the rear diff cover gasket, and I'm finally getting around to doing the repair. Searches haven't given me any info on what's involved in removing the cover. Could somebody give me an idea of how much of a headache I'm in for ? Thanks
