    automatic locks engage options

    Maybe turn them on? Perhaps the previous owner is like me and detests that feature, so turned it off... That was the first thing I did when I brought the truck home, even before checking the oil or tire pressure...

    Power cord hanging out of my front grill

    Have a sound system in your expedition?

    I'm rocking the OEM 'premium' AM/FM cassette system that it came with from the factory. Still deciding what I am going to do with it, but will probably throw in my Alpine HU, PG & Orion amps, and PPI components this summer. Not sure what I'll do in the way of subs though, I may do without so...

    major stumble/hesitation

    What is the code you are getting? Most parts stores will read the codes for you for nothing. I must say though, it sounds like you are getting the same behaviour from you truck that I did (The rough/crappy idle, stumbling on acceleration, and feeling underpowered) before I changed out my PCV...

    Who has Children as an Expedition Owner

    I didn't vote, as I could not honestly answer to the intent of the question. I have children, and I have an Exped, but it was not purchased with passenger capacity in mind in any way. This is just my winter/drive to work/cargo/towing beater, and nothing more. Indeed, since I brought it home...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Crawled around the wreckers today picking up parts for the old girl. Managed to pick up a grill, grill mount, bumper, and assorted bit and pieces. Now I need to spend the next two or three weeks cleaning up the parts and prep'ing them for install. Unfortunately the only grill I could find...

    What would be involved in adding heated mirrors to my XLT?

    Thanks for the info, I have been somewhat curious about that myself. Unfortunately the link does not seem to go anywhere useful, is this perhaps the right place?

    Should I buy 1999 XLT for $1500?

    Overheating could be as simple as low coolant, collapsed/blocked rad hose, bad fan, or stuck (closed) thermostat. I doubt it's a bad head gasket, unless he ran it long while being overheated. In which case there is far more difficult (expensive) things to be concerned about. Only way to...

    Looking for help on purchase

    by the way, I like that grille guard a lot, have you figured out what brand it is? And looks like you have the same winch I do too...

    Looking for help on purchase

    Ford Expedition Gear Ratios I believe you are correct. Yours has the same codes are my 97, which has the 9.75" 3.73 Limited slip and the 4R100 trans. If you lant to verify the rear end, crawl underneath and check the tags attached to the cover. The size is easy enough to verify just...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Thanks guys. I agree, it does look sooooo much cleaner than that convoluted mess that is the original. The install was actually dead simple, not much more than an hour all told. Toughest part was that bloody IAT sensor. The supplied grommet was extremely tight and I kept ending up...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Replaced the bloody nightmare PCV line. Two nasty skinned knuckles and a sore back from reaching and contorting, but it's on there. Went for a couple of blasts following that, and no codes yet. Before the change it would throw a P0171/4 each and everytime I drove it. Oh, and finished...

    let's talk about power gains...

    Don't really know if I gained any power, but it sure cleaned up the engine bay and will give a great foundation to build a custom cold air set up this summer... 3.5" Ceramic coated Aluminum Velocity tube. Bolted up to the factory air box so no need to move the MAF or change to the much...

    Rough idle? P0171, P0174? Here's what you need to check first!!!

    Yay, finally got this accomplished. Thanks for the heads up on the hose. I had no end of grief getting this done myself, mostly just finding the ends of that bloody hose. For those of you that may be having difficulty locating both ends of the hose: The top right is on the back of...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Washed it the winter road grime/salt/cr@p off it and now that I can lean over the fender without getting overly muddy I am going to see if I can't resolve the durned annoying P0171/4 with a new PCV and intake tube...

    quick questions

    You bet an S/C will work on the truck, just a question of effort and $$$ As for transmission, check the code on your door plate. If my google research is right (I am new to the Expedition game/family myself), there were 2 different transmissions available - the 4R100 and the lighter duty...
