    Gotts Mod vs. Hot Air Intake

    i took I380 from downtown Cedar Rapids, IA south to HWY 30 and then turned around and went back north. I had driven about 20 minutes around the city, so I believe the engine was plenty warm. There are only a couple hills to speak of, but I believe it to be a fairly level drive, from beginning...

    Gotts Mod vs. Hot Air Intake

    Plugs/COP's

    +1 on the o rings. I changed my plugs last summer, didn't notice one had fallen off, and was SPRAYING gas when i turned the engine over. Spend the $5, you're under the hood anyway.

    Gotts Mod vs. Hot Air Intake

    I don't have a pic at the moment, so I apologize off the bat. I created my own hot air intake (if that term makes sense) that is essentially a drop in K&N performance filter, and i cut up the factory housing (retained mine, bought one to cut up from the scrap yard) to make it higher flow...

    What type did you get? Everything I'm finding shows them being connected to cross bars.

    At least around here I get them at Menards (like a Home Depot) and Ace Hardware or NAPA Auto Parts. You can also order online from dipyourcar.com

    Roof Rack

    http://cedarrapids.craigslist.org/pts/2809274089.html Should I buy this? Can't see the harm in a $75 gamble. I'm a total noob to this, so if someone could advise me also, do you just bungee strap stuff in or what? Put a tarp over anything not waterproof, or just only put waterproof stuff...

    Proud new owner of CAI

    I've never heard of a CAI alone getting anywhere near to a 5 mpg boost. I get about 17 on my 1999 without the CAI... maybe just let up on the lead foot a bit for the test drive?

    Dedicated Snow Tires

    I was unable to find a thread about those of us in the snow belt who switch out for dedicated snow tires. I've been reading reviews on tirerack for several tires, but none seem to be written by expedition owners. Got our first big snow of the year today, love the truck in the snow but feel it...

    Water Pump

    No, you're right about the so far stock cooling system. Guess I'll stick to a stock or near stock replacement. Don't want to upgrade things that I won't notice, thanks guys.

    Water Pump

    So I've been reading some threads on here about the cooling system, and am looking at replacing the water pump. My question is about these "performance" water pumps. Are they worth the money? Will I notice a difference. An example of what I'm talking about I'm mostly concerned about the...
