    Expy/Lightning Videos

    Was bored today so decided to make some new video in HD of course.. Basic videos of me driving my expy/lightning. It is currently running very well and Drive-ability is near perfect. Cold start, hot start, open loop, closed loop, throttle response is very linear. Goes from pullling fairly...

    Accel Super Coil Packs?

    My father (electrical engineer) was a car nut as well so I frequently bounced ideas off of him. Once I asked him about the Higher Voltage ignition coils and he basically told me that 'the voltage is determined by the resistance of the spark plug to fire. Higher voltage coils is more or less an...

    erroneous oil dip stick readings

    Must park vehicle on level ground. Shut off motor wait several minutes. Pull dipstick and wipe down as oil has sloshed around it will read incorrectly. Re-insert dipstick and get new reading. If it is still high there may be oil still in dipstick tube that has not drained out yet... wipe down...

    2003 Navigator P0175

    If the intake had strong fuel smell, or puddling of fuel I would check fuel pressure regulator vacuum port. The diaphragm can rupture or get pinhole in it leaking fuel into the vacuum port thus intake. I say this because I had this happen with my mustang. A quick test would to supply vacuum...

    4.6 vs 5.4

    It does rate higher in mpg. Fuel Economy of 2000 Ford Expedition 4WD With the extra torque down low the 5.4 needs less throttle input to get the mass moving so depending on how you drive the 4.6 potential savings in fuel economy may not be realized. I would think the HWY mileage would be...

    2015 Expedition released

    :biggrin: I might put it a bit higher on the list but kind of depends on the size of the lotto. I would probably build a 1200+ hp 9 second expedition just because...

    uncontrolled acceleration

    With the 2000 expedition the only thing that can apply throttle other than the driver is the cruise control. I would disconnect the cable as suggested to see if it still happens or goes away. When you say uncontrolled acceleration to what degree do you mean?? Like w.o.t. or slight increase in...

    Great deal on a paxton novi 2000 kit old 2v

    :hmm: Seems like a good deal.... Yep... the novi 2000 is capable of some serious boost if you so desire.

    Official Photos & Info: 2015 Expedition

    That's why I posted the above videos. It seemed to do quiet well towing 10,000 lbs up the mountains. The ecoboost performs well in the torque dept...

    Removal of oil pan 4.6 2wd

    Even if you remove all the bolts you need significant clearance to remove pan due to the crankshaft counter weights and oil pickup tube. Oil pickup sits approximately 1/2" off the pan.

    How tall is my truck?

    Yep.. plutonium is not available in your local grocery. You need to get yourself one of these:

    Official Photos & Info: 2015 Expedition

    I still think having a 5.0 as an option or as the base engine would be better but don't hold the same opinions as others here towards the ecoboost. I can tell you I have seen many run quite strong at the track for being stock. Yeah a V6 will never have the rumble of a V8. They do sound a bit...

    Official Photos & Info: 2015 Expedition

    The ecoboost is a logical choice for a heavy suv because of its very broad torque curve. The random loss of acceleration issue many owners have reported would be my concern. Hopefully ford has remedied this problem by now?! Ford's 3.5L EcoBoost V6 vs. Typical V8s - YouTube...

    Playing in the snow...

    Very Cool!! Gotta love the blower whine! :) Obviously in 2wd... Do you have 4wd videos as well??

    Here is a stupid question

    Cold or hot my oil level remains consistent but you have to wait a few minutes after shutdown for oil to drain to oil pan. I like to keep mine full. Between the 2 marks usually equates to 1 quart of oil in my fords. 1/2 way - 1/2 quart etc.... makes it easy for me to add the correct amount...

    How tall is my truck?

    I would suspect that they post the lowest clearance in the garage including pipes etc. where the vehicles travel. I would assume they give a little buffer to insure the posted height would clear. Think they could be held liable for damages otherwise. Of course I have no way to confirm. I did...

    rear diff staying locked

    If the diff locks up the inside wheel should spin on tight turns!! Same speed as outside wheel. If you are saying the inside wheel is locked up, as in not turning, the problem is likely elsewhere and not the differential. If the inside wheel is spinning its the clutches not releasing. I would...

    How tall is my truck?

    Parking garages?? I measured mine before venturing in some parking garages in downtown Baltimore. It clears by a few inches according to their posted height limit but hits the bar as you enter. I still feel as if I should duck driving through it..:eek:

    What did you do to your expedition today?

    It's not quite that bad but close.... lol. I believe the factory speed limiter is set at about 100mph. So unless you have a programmer or tuner it will hit a wall there.

    What did you do to your expedition today?

    I really don't have a problem blowing it out every now and then... :biggrin: Hell.... if I could make it through a tank of gas without doing it at least once it would be a miracle.

    Stainless Exhaust INSTALLED!!!

    If only stainless steel really was stainless !! I have complete stainless steel exhaust but it takes work just keeping the tips polished.
