    Idle Problems??? -> The Solution!

    If I remember, it was somewhere between $50-$70.

    Go Rhino Front Bumper Guard Installed

    I would think that keeping the tow hooks is important. Is this a matter of having longer bolts, or does this installation make this simply impossible?

    Dirty Fuel

    Although I sincerely hope that this is the case for you, I doubt it. A quick internet search finds that all gasolines (at least here in the US) have about the same level of sulphur (~350 ppm). There is a big push to reduce it, but it will take a while. In the mean time, we all have the about the...

    Rear Brakes 03 5.4 expy

    I would check a little more. I have been told by a reliable source that that there is (at least on my '98) a drum brake that is hiding underneath the rear drum rotor for the emergency brake. That would rule out a problem with the emergency brake ruining your disc brake pads and rotors. I...

    Rear Brakes 03 5.4 expy

    Update: I found the section in my manual about the parking brake, and it says that I have a DRUM brake system, which resides inside of the DISC brake hub???? I have to check this out!!! Seems weird, especially since I have been all other these areas (but never changed the brake pads...

    Rear Brakes 03 5.4 expy

    The question was, does the Expy stop well? If the front calipers were not working, of course you would have a good deal of pad left! If the Expy stops well, does not veer to one side or another, etc., then the fron calipers are probably not the problem. I am not sure of your '03, but my '98...

    Rear Brakes 03 5.4 expy

    One of my first questions is wether the Expy had been stopping OK before you noticed this? The reason I ask is: - Either, the Front Calipers were not working, in which case the Expy would have a NOTICABLE increase in stopping distance (this is because the front rotors do 70+% of the stopping...

    2000 Exp tow capacity

    Another thought.....does your Expy have the factory tow option, or are you going to put a hitch on? The reason I ask this is that the factory tow option includes both tranny and oil coolers (as well as other nice extras) which are good things to have when towing frequently/large loads. If...

    Major A/C mishap

    Sorry, I don't. I was not with Enron, but the Enron collapse hit the power sector pretty hard. I was actually with a pollution controls firm, making ESP's, ammonia generation equipment for SCR's, etc for coal power plants. Enron's collapse, along with Bush's COMPLETE AND TOTAL disregard for...

    Major A/C mishap

    FYI - might want to consider cladding the vessels with duplex stainless (2205) if the chemical issues can't be solved. I was in the power industry as well (i was a post Enron purge at my company), and we made all of our pressure vessels out of duplex...

    Major A/C mishap

    Well, it seems that I was pretty close to the fianl diagnosis!!! In any case, I would surely try to get reimbursed, but I would not hold my breath......:( In terms of damaging the compressor, the only thing I would make sure off is that the repair shop recharged the A/C system with oil...

    Major A/C mishap

    Yeah, is was an A/C mechanic a few years back. I was trying to make sense of your issues from the description, but to me it sounded like the dealership found the compressor shot - a hole in it. Now, I have never heard of that before, and to me I thought that maybe the high side connection to...

    !2 volt plugs

    My Owners manual has a section for the fuses, so I would think that yours would as well. Another option would be to pull each fuse and look at it.

    DO I HAVE {AWD or FULL TIME 4WD}

    I believe that in the '01, the A4WD is the same as in my '98, in that the term means "Automatic 4WD". In this mode, the center diff clutch will automatically engage when it senses slipping in the rear wheels. This is what the factory manaul says about it: "In A4WD, the generic electronic...

    RS9000X Rancho Shocks

    The torque specs are in the docs I sent!! No need to get more bolts or anything, just reuse what you take off, no big deal.

    I, the Master of the Obvious, have determined that the post with my experiences is located a couple of posts up on this thread!! No need to search for it.

    RS9000X Rancho Shocks

    OK, find the .pdf files from the OEM CD manual I have about replacing them. Also, do a search on this site, as I have posted my experiences with changing them. No big issues except for the rear left one. Good luck!

    Goofy tranny or tach?

    This sounds like the Overdrive kicking in and out. Try turning the overdrive off and see if the tach stabilizes. If it does, then it is the transmission. Couple of questions: 1) Is this a recent problem, or has this always happened, or maybe steadily increased in frequency? 2) Did you...

    anti lock brake light problem

    The system should not feel any different, as the ABS system only comes into play when you lock up wheels when stopping, such as on ice or wet roads or emergency stopping, etc. The ABS light being on means that the computer has sensed an error, and my first guess would be one of the wheel...

    Cleaning Lower Panels on 2003 XLT

    check out: http://www.303products.com/main.php?infopage=home You can order online, but the great news is that you can try before you buy. I just went there and they have a link on the homepage to get free samples. I am going to give them a try, but the nice thing about my '98EB is the lack...

    Remote Oil Filter Kit

    What r u talking about, with or without the remote filter setup? I have the remote filter setup as factory stock on my '98 EB, and it is nothing but a dream to change the oil filter. On my previuous trucks, pulling the oil filter from the block meant that oil would go everywhere....except the...

    what differentials do i have?

    OK, this is an easy one as well. Look on the differential itself. There will be a little metal tag that is on one of the diff cover bolts. The second number from the left should be the ring gear size - either 8.8 or 9.75.
