    Lift spacer thickness

    I can take a look and see if I can pull dimensions off of my setup. Stay tuned.

    tow hooks on 2wd 2005

    Found this on eBay... just to show the nut plate that goes inside the frame.

    tow hooks on 2wd 2005

    Sorry for the crappy picture but it's the best I had. This is what folks are talking about. If you look at the inside of the frame end you can see the nut plate. The picture shows the front bolt coming up from the bottom and screwing into the front nut. I actually don't remember if they're...

    I knew someone here that ran 37" tires. https://www.expeditionforum.com/posts/318261/

    Sorry to hear about the issues you encountered but glad you persevered. Looks great so far!

    Frustrating random stall

    I just re-read your post and saw how your battery would drain in 12 hours. I never had that so probably not related to my issue unless you've got two different things going on.

    Frustrating random stall

    I've got a 2003 with about 220K miles. My story... Over the past year or so I've had my engine cut out on me while driving down the freeway. All's good when suddenly I lose all power. I lose speed, lose RPM's, and at some point while I'm still coasting down the freeway, the power comes back...

    Anyone remember the Expedition with tips (4) out the trailer hitch hole?

    Was it like the Corvette exhaust?

    Rear differential fluid change?

    No, that's what you're saying... and like you said, it's a bunch of baloney :). What I'm saying is ford has control over their design, part quality, and processes. Based on their testing they feel the proper interval for changing differential fluid is 150K miles (unless towing and other severe...

    Rear differential fluid change?

    You mean the difference between factory gears installed at the factory vs third party gears installed by a fourth party? I can think of a short list of things. That said, Nitro gear has specific break in instructions for their gears. For seemingly good reasons and that's why I changed the...

    Rear differential fluid change?

    It's settled... based on opinions, you should either change it or just leave it :). You're choice. I didn't change mine until I had the gears changed. That was at over 200K miles. Then changed it again some miles later as recommended because of the new gears (and lockers). If not for that I...

    1st Gen LSD Eaton Detroit TrueTrac Info

    Hearing your CV break was painful! I've heard you can do that if spinning your wheels too hard and then when one side grips, the momentum of the other wheel/tire spinning can be enough to break things. You weren't spinning your wheels too hard at all. So what do you attribute the breakage to...

    not a recovery point

    I'm no expert but doing a quick search and seeing what's being said in some of the 4x4 forums, sizing the breaking point of the kinetic rope for 3-4X the gross vehicle weight seems to be the way to go. These are very cool to see in action. I've never used one, only used tow straps. But yea...

    Show your Lifted 3rd Gens

    I thought Navigator and Expedition suspension parts are the same. Checking Rock Auto, the coil over part numbers are identical. Since the spacers mount to the top of the coil over, the Expedition spacers should work no problem.
