    07 EB Expedition lag/hesitates under WOT with K&N CAI?

    I would also try just resetting the computer to allow it to relearn the new fuel air mixture. Just unplug the battery and turn the key and plug it back in. Let it idle for 5 minutes and you're good to go

    I want the best tire for my application

    Cheap is all relative too. I bought my cooper for about 225 a tire, and I didn't think that was a bad price. And I do A LOT of snow driving. I would definitely buy them again

    CEL goes off without fixing the problem?

    I'm guessing conditions were just right and the downstream o2 got a good reading for once. See if it stays off when the weather changes. The computer stores the codes even after the light goes out so unless you unplugged the battery, they should still be there.

    What are the differences between a 1997 5.4L and a 2011 5.4L?

    I think the main difference is the cam phasers. Real nightmare in my opinion and would keep me from ever buying a 3v 5.4L. But if the price is right, what the heck, it's the same block so as long as you have the correct computer to run it and a wiring harness to plug everything in, no reason it...

    Performance Mufflers

    If you are going for quiet, cutting out cats is not helping the cause. I have a glasspack dumped at the axle with all 4 cats still and it isn't super loud. The cats are like a whole other muffler

    Grinding noise help

    What's the year and model? Can you tell where it is coming from? Also can you hear it from outside the truck as well as inside (have someone walk along it as you drive slow)? It might be something with the magnetic clutch in the t-case. Put it in 2wd and pull the t-case fuse to see if the...

    2WD Expy 4.6-Slow Acceleration

    My money's on plugs and coils. Unless the cylinder is missing every time, the truck will not throw a code. Old plugs can run fine at idle but still crap the bed once you put a load on the motor. Sent from the Pocket Computer

    Exhaust manifold

    My dad's truck pretty much has the manifold hanging loose on one side. Sounds like a tractor but still drives fine. We tried to do the other side on his last winter but the main problem we ran into was not having the room to weld a nut onto the studs that snapped off. Also it is very time...

    Weak Brakes - Please Help

    Easy way to decide if it is electrical or mechanical is to pull the ABS fuse. If it still does it, then you know it is a warped rotor or sticking pad somewhere. Also check the parking brake for issues inside the rotor. If it stops, then you know for sure something is of issue with the ABS...

    Expy project!

    Look into samrider777's threads. He did a solid axle swap and it turned out really cool. That will look good! Sent from the Pocket Computer

    Video of my 5.4L with Loud buzzing -- not alternator or vacuum

    Power steering is usually only when you first start and when you turn the wheels. Also makes more of a screechy sound. I don't see why that insulation is necessary. Mine is uninsulated and it has not melted through... Sent from the Pocket Computer

    Low fuel light

    Oh I totally understand. I've been at the light too for the same reason. The pig can hurt the insides to fill sometimes haha. I was just afraid the OP might be running it to the light a lot hence wondering how much wiggle room he has. Sent from the Pocket Computer

    2003 Expy Catalytic Converter R/R

    Without access to a hoist, the cats are gonna be tough. With that few miles, I would just leave them. They will be good for at least another 100k. Or install the exhaust yourself and have the shop just address the cats. Find a shop that only does exhaust, they are out there and will know what...

    Sometimes won't start in park : Where's the two Torx screws

    It's actually fairly easy to get to them under the dash as long as you lie on your back. It's kind of awkward but not too bad. Of course size of upper body would play a roll in that... Sent from the Pocket Computer

    Low fuel light

    My truck has a very fast last 1/4. Like less than 60 miles from quarter to light. Be careful running it that low. It's also hard on the fuel pump since it uses the fuel to cool itself Sent from the Pocket Computer

    ABS problems

    Have you tried pulling the abs fuse to see if it is driveable? Not really sure that it will be but turning the abs system off completely might at least allow you to drive it. I have had my fuse pulled for almost 3 years and never had issues other than the dash light always on Sent from the...

    Is your shifter really loose? I only had problems when the screw came all the way out and the shifter was flopping all over. Sent from the Pocket Computer

    Terrible knocking noise

    It would really depend on what the knock sounds like. If it is true rod knock then the motor is probably already toast... how many miles on the new motor? Change the oil regularly? Is the oil pressure gauge reading anything.

    Just got my leveling and 285/75r17s with step ?

    It looks like the running boards were replaced. I'm pretty sure all the EB's had beige running boards from the factory Sent from the Pocket Computer

    Wheels wobble

    Ah I see. I read over that part and just saw drivers wheel wobbling. In that case it definitely needs to be aligned. Also make sure the castle nut is tightened all the way down. You need an impact or very large pipe to get them tight enough. Sent from the Pocket Computer

    Problems at the gas pump..

    My truck does that if I put the nozzle as far in as it will go. (Get your mind out the gutter...) but I have found if I pull it out about 2 inches it fuels just fine. Just a design flaw in the filler tubes I think. Sent from the Pocket Computer

    Wheels wobble

    Otherwise is it balanced? When you say it wobbles, do you feel it in the steering wheel or more so through the entire truck? Does it get better or worse during turns or with higher speed? EDIT: I see now you are probably talking about the steering wheel wobbling. Not to insult you, but are the...
