    Overhead Temp and compass.

    Yes you are correct, I only was able to get the console, I'm guessing the wiring maybe there, but I bet the sensor is no where to be found. That's why I'm wondering if anyone else has tackled this before. Thanks for the reply.

    How to restore your plastic headlight lens

    Before trying all of this try using tooth paste and some elbow grease. I know you think I'm being stupid, but try it before you knock it. BTW don't use a gel.

    Overhead Temp and compass.

    I have a 98 Expy that does not have the temp or compass in the overhead console but I have another spare console with it in and would like to install it. I don't have any thing else but that, no sensors or additional wiring. Any one attempted this themselves? Thanks

    Knock Sensor replacement issues.

    That's one thing I thought a I might have to do. Might not get enough air/fuel to the bigger motor. Going to dry fit everything up to make sure I don't have any more surprises. I'm guessing I will have to buy a 5.4 knock sensor and replace the connector from the 4.6 sensor to make it work...

    Knock Sensor replacement issues.

    So now I'm thinking I have a 5.4 bolted up in the truck now. Besides the sensor that I will have to replace with the 5.4 what else am I maybe looking at now for this? From what I can find the heads are the same between the 4.6 and 5.4 so my headers should work. I'm guessing the elctronics...

    Knock Sensor replacement issues.

    I have an issue with installing my remaned 4.6 Romeo motor in my 98 Expy. The knock sensor from the old motor has a way bigger thread than the remaned hole. I checked it out the best I can and I don't see where Ford used 2 different sized knock sensors in the 4.6. Could some how the reman has...

    Need help with some 4.6 issues

    I know deep down inside that there can't be a big issue if I toss in a Windsor instead of a Romeo. I knew about them being built in different plants. I've looked up the rebuild kits for them and they are different. I also keep seeing different info on the Romeos that some say it was used only...

    Need help with some 4.6 issues

    Rebuilding it isn't the issue except for about 300 bucks or so I can get a remand from out of state with a warranty. Finally found some that might interest me. Now I'm wondering about how some of these places like cores in pieces?

    Need help with some 4.6 issues

    Hey guys I am in need of some help. I have a 98 Expy with the 4.6 motor. I thought the head gasket was out because it was running rough when first started and burning antifreeze badly. Than I had some more issues and decided to tear it down. Here's what I've got so far.... Follower...
