    dual exhaust pics

    Can't see why you would say that. I logged 21 mpg on my last trip to Dallas at 75 mph But then I have the 4.6 with 3:31 rear end. But 23mpg would have been easy at say 65mph. Maybe its all those Mods that eat the rest of Yalls gas,,,rofl

    factory alarm

    Not true at all. One push of the lock button produces a chirp (pause) chirp. Two push's just produce more chirps. Disarm or the unlock button also produces a chirp. And it is very annoying. Anyone know how to make the chirps go away (without disconnecting the siren or the horn) Please...

    Shudders at Idle

    Common on who's expedition? First I have ever heard of that. And I would never buy a truck that this was a common problem on. At least they are footing the bill for you. My dealership covered the cost of my problem for me as well even though it was out of warrenty.

    Rough Idle 2003 5.4 - Anybody else?

But in the f-150'2 ( I had a 99 and a 2000) There was an electrical line that ran next to the AC acumalator(sp) that used to short after it warmed up. This produced the exact same symptoms that ya"ll are discribing. Only started after 10k...
