    Brake pad suggestions

    I have heard that ceramic pads create dust, you just can't see it as you could metallic or semi-metallic dust. And the Ceramic pad dust "eats" chrome faster. This is only what I have heard pro-trucks near Pittsburgh, not personal experience. They recommended semi-metallic with drilled and/or...

    Slipping Transmission or Ignition Problem?

    Not to steal a thread but It would seem we have several on slipping tranny's. This tread most closely matched my problem.. Not sure what problem is but.. I just took my 97 with 110K to the garage last night. On my way home the tranny seems to be slipping or something. When going up a hill...

    Removing brake rotors

    Wow, that method looks way too easy. I haven't had to pull my rotors off yet, but when I do, this is going to be the first thing I try. Thanks.

    my 2000 expedition

    Nice looking expedition. I like any vehicle that is not stock, lifted 4x4s or lowered 2wds. Are you thinking of adding a body kit to it?

    1997 5.4 questions...

    What I have heard is you will not get better gas mileage with a smaller engine. Because the Expy's are so big the smaller engine has to work harder. My assumption would also be that if you have been driving a 5.4 and switch to a 4.6 you will not be happy with the decrease in performance and end...

    My 97 5.4L XLT

    Yea, good idea, I got some spider wire in the basement. Thanks Walnuts.. I love this forum. I can clearly see I am going to run out of money before I run out of idea's to customize my ride.

    My 97 5.4L XLT

    I will keep that in mind, but the after market trim is about $13 new at advanced auto. It is only the stick on, not one piece molded. I will be picking up a heat gun from a friend of mine to loosen the grip of the 13 yr old tape.

    My 97 5.4L XLT

    Yes, they are hooks that bolt on to it, they are rated at 10K lbs. I hated losing my recovery hooks (looking at longer bolts to put them back on). After I get my lift/leveling kit and tires I will let you know if they hold up pulling me out.. :D I am just going to keep the chrome grill guard...

    My 97 5.4L XLT

    Thanks all, The more I drive it around and look at it the more I am starting to like it (until its wash time.) :rolleyes: My thoughts are now that I should paint my header panel and get the billet grill inserts along with some headlights (mine suck).

    My 97 5.4L XLT

    Just got the brush guard installed about a week ago along with some after market black & clear tail lights. Washed it at my friends house and took some pics. I am thinking about spraying the guard black with bed liner, any opinions?

    quick parts

    Small but annoying, I need the round plastic bezel on the shifter knob that goes around the O/D on/off button. Also do any of them have factory fog lights? I would be interested in the fog lights and the head/fog light switch with the plug for the fogs? Floormats, good shape, front or rear...

    Fog lights to factory switch?

    Ok, I didn't take off my current switch yet, but will I need a wire harness for the fog light part of the switch? I understand how the switch works just not sure if the fog lights require a different plug to the switch than mine has on it already. Since my XLT was not factory equipped with...
