    Odd sound after shutting off

    I agree with Racenut, I got the same noise after installing my CAI. Haven't figured out what is was but haven't experienced any problems either. Noise only last for about 10-15 seconds and just sounds like air releasing on top of the motor, depressurizing? Hope this helps.

    tranny only shifting to 2nd while on the gas

    I hope i'm not stealing your thread, but it almost sounds like the same issue your explaining and I still haven't gotten mine fixed. Mainly because I don't know what is causing it either. I was recently pulling a 10' trailer with about 50 - 18" pavers and an ATV on it. I had to slow down...

    Nerf Bars or running boards?

    I like my Nerf bars way better. The bars gave me more clearance for my bigger tires. Also, the running boards collected a ton of mud in the summer and snow in the winter. I always had ice sickles hanging from the wires to the running board lights. Since I removed the running boards I used the...

    My Expedition will not start

    I had the same problem with my 97 xlt. When I would try to start it I could here the solenoid ?? on the firewall clicking when I would try to turn it over. I too tried jumping it, cleaning connections, checking fuses, ETC. What finally got mine running was using a pair of pliers I had to tap on...

    Squealing from the front of 97 Expy.

    Ok, now I feel dumb. I was looking at the front right wheel yesterday after listening to the squeal and decided to check the other side. Wow, I could freely spin the front wheel a lot easier than on the right side. I have come to the conclusion that my right front caliper is not releasing...

    Squealing from the front of 97 Expy.

    Well I climbed underneath the expy last night and it is not the U joints they feel really solid still. with no grease fittings.. ha ha. Any ways I jacked up the front of it and hand spun the 33x12.50s as fast as i could and sure enough I could hear a slight squeal. There is no cracks or rips in...

    Squealing from the front of 97 Expy.

    Yea that makes sense. A friend of mine who hasn't heard the noise asked me if it was my u-joints needing greased or going bad. He told me in his 87 Ford, the universal/driveshaft will squeal if they start going bad or need greased. To check for this he said to get under the truck and see if...

    Squealing from the front of 97 Expy.

    Ok, will take a look when I get a chance. Also, I don't hear the noise until it warms up. This morning I was listening for it on my way to work which is about 25 miles and I quit listen after about 5 mins of driving but when I got to work I could hear it. I was kinda leaning towards wheel...

    Squealing from the front of 97 Expy.

    I just noticed this last week. While driving the vehicle I can hear a squealing noise coming from the front of my 97 Expy. I thought it was the belt getting worn out so I put a new belt on this weekend and the noise is still there. I can hear it better bouncing off buildings in town, and I would...

    Rear coil spacers for 97-03 Expy's

    I got my spacers on and twisted my torsion bars all the way up. I ended up renting a strut/spring compressor from Advanced auto. I jacked up the rear, took off both tires, unbolted the struts and the sway arm from both sides. I was then able to use the spring compressors on each side to smash...

    Rear coil spacers for 97-03 Expy's

    I got the 3" spacers and I am going to try and put them on myself, with some help from one of my friends. He suggested we get a spring compressor. Do any of you guys know if I just unbolt my strut and trailing arm(or?) will it allow my axle to drop enough to allow me to put the spacers under...

    Had a similar starting issue with my 97 XLT yesterday. Drove it for an hour strait. Shut off the truck and 10 minutes later tried to start it, but it wouldn't start. All of my lights worked inside and out.Checked all of my fuses and battery, even tried getting a jump from a friend of mine...

    Cold air intake

    Well I got this CAI from the guy. Along with some other parts. It looks like it is going to work pretty well. It has a completely enclosed box that fits snug against the side fender well where the intake tube attaches to the factory box. As soon as I get the filter cleaned and oiled I will...

    Rear coil spacers for 97-03 Expy's

    Ok, thanks KWT and Lane! I will be ordering a set then. I apologize if this is a dumb question but what holds the spacers in place? Is it just the weight of the body? What keeps the spacers from sliding off the spring or vice versa? I have never lifted a vehicle only lowered them by smaller...

    Arm rests?

    Does anyone know how or if you can remove the armrests on the front seats? It is a 97 XLT. I thought there should be a zipper on the bottom but I don't see one. Possibly, is there a tool to remove these? (retaining clip like the old manual window cranks?) Edit: Found this on on another site...
