    Valve covers!!! Need info!

    The new ford racing 8 thread count heads are all romeo.. May be the reason why it now has romeo heads. If I was going to go through the effort of porting the 2v PI heads I would want to start with some 8 thread castings. Don't like timeserts or helicoil type fix in boosted applications. Have...

    Valve covers!!! Need info!

    Romeo heads have the cam girdles. Windsors do not. You might be able to look through the oil fill cap and tell?! They do have different bolt counts as well but do not remember off hand what they are. I believe the cars generally came with romeo heads. Mine are windsor valve covers. If...

    lightning swap with eaton m122

    :drool2: I have a 2003 10 row factory intecooler core myself. Sure you know the earlier 9 row coolers are prone to leak. I know there are a few aftermarket cores available but really have not heard anyone raving about any particular one. Where and how much did you end up paying for the alt...

    Do I have ESC?

    If you read wikipedia it leads me to believe that ESC was first introduced as an option with the 2nd generation expeditions. Ford Expedition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I can tell you without a doubt my 2000 XLT does not have it. I have fishtailed mine with no signs of stability...

    IAT sensor

    Correction. After reading the link bedrck supplied it is located just after the mass air sensor in the corrugated rubber tubing. If memory serves the mass air sensor is located inside the air filter assembly but its been awhile sense mine was stock so...

    Yellow lubricant from drivers front wheel

    I agree with Bedrck. I would take it to a qualified a/c shop or dealer. They can pull vacuum on system and refill with proper amount of R134a and lubricant. I added an killer chiller to my a/c lines to aid in cooling my water to air intercooler setup. When I did this I had local shop evacuate...

    Exhaust Videos

    I think my exhaust is now quieter than most with the exception of bone stock exhaust maybe. Dual 3" custom exhaust. Dual in & out magnaflow. Two resonators (mini glass packs). 2 High flow cats (front) and 2 - 3" replacement cats (rear) from higher gvw vehicle. Then 1/4 wave resonators as...

    4.6 swap into a 5.4 expy

    Just speculating but I believe the 5.4's come with the heavier duty trannys (4R100) and 9.75 rear. The differences in trannys may require different wiring harness so a simple pcm swap may not work. My guess is it would need custom program to perform well unless you swap the complete...

    Intake manifold Plastic or Aluminum?

    It should be fairly obvious when viewing. The plastic intake manifold has an aluminum runner across the front for coolant crossover so its easy to tell the contrast. If you are questioning it, its most likely aluminum.

    New guy intro, and

    I don't really know enough about the a/c system but there is the high pressure (hot) liquid side and a low pressure (cold) gas side to the freon lines. I believe the conversion takes place at an orifice located near the passenger compartment. The drop in pressure is what makes it cold. When the...

    New guy intro, and

    :welcome: Just a guess but maybe your hearing the a/c lines pressure equalize between the high and low side.

    Sct x4

    If you want to mount for monitoring different parameters I would suggest going with one of the higher end sct's. I have the X3 which is the older version of the X4 and I cannot see how it could be mounted in an visually pleasing manner. Lol Can't comment on stock tunes as mine is custom.

    Throttle body spacers

    To put in nicely they are pointless in modern fuel injection engines. They have their use with carburetor engines (Carb spacers). Possibly even the older throttle body fuel injection but this does not carry over with modern multi port fuel injection.

    Lightning Supercharger Swap in an '04 Expy write-up

    Just looked.. When I purchased new through Mike I paid a little over $30. Someone is trying to make a buck based on limited supply and demand. Its going to be a lightning only item I would bet. Means limited supply.

    Lightning Supercharger Swap in an '04 Expy write-up

    My guess is they discontinued it.. Parts are getting harder to come by because I don't think they are making them anymore. Limited to available stock.
