    Not a mechanic need pictures if possible 99 Expedition

    Can't speak for the '99s, but sure as heck my 97 does... And for purposes of this discussion, ignore the big silver tube, non-stock.

    What transmission

    check out this link for more info on the door sticker. Not sure what year this is for exactly, but gives you a better idea what each one of the codes means.

    What transmission

    There is a sticker on the drivers door jam that contains the codes of the major mechanical parts installed on the truck; axles, transmissions, paint and interior colour codes, etc. It is the same one that shows tire sizes and pressure. Look at the bottom of the tag and find the code under the...

    Wiring Rigid LED lights to high beams?

    It is pretty straight forward actually, the toughest part is routing the wiring neatly so it does not get abraded (away from sharp edges), and splicing the 'trigger' wire. For what you want to do, it should be easy. Splice a wire from the highbeam circuit to the coil terminal ( terminal 86...

    Spare tire options

    Yup, that's what I do. the plug kit rides in a small tool kit I keep under the back seat, so is always with me and ready to go. Just be sure you also have a valve stem tool, my last 3 slow leaks were not completely fixed by the plug (which is temporary anyway), the stem had backed off just...

    Wiring Rigid LED lights to high beams?

    I am of the same mind as Stamp and CanEx and strongly recommend not adding additional load to the OEM wiring harness. I have read more than one account where people have tested the ability to deliver enough power for even the basic OEM headlamps and have found the wiring is not even up to...

    '97 2wd electric locking rear diff?

    NOt sure I have much in the way of recommendadtions, but I gotta ask - how are you measuring effectiveness? No, the LSD will never lock up solid, but neither should it let you do a 'one wheel peal'. If it is acting like an open diff, then definately look at a rebuild, should be much cheaper...

    How to Enable/disable the auto lock feature.

    heh, that was literally the second thing I did to my truck (the first thing I did ws stop at the parts store on the way home and buy 2 tail light bulbs, 3 signal bulds, and a headlight bulb to replace the burnt out ones) when I bought it last year. I do not remember the exact procedure I used...

    2015 navigator out today?? Expy has to be right behind??

    Beat me to it Freeway, yet again. Absolutely correct. The v6 EB is perfect for a light vehicle application, like a Taurus (though it would be better in a focus... :wink:), my opinion is that it is not well suited to a truck application. Personally, I would not own a EB in a truck. Well...

    What did you do to the expy today

    I don't suppose it is something as simple as a fuse/relay? Have a look at these diagrams #F2-37, in the first image according to the chart

    What did you do to the expy today

    Thanks for the tips, much appreciated. Might take another shot at it this weekend if it is warm enough out. Stupid lack of garage at home...

    What did you do to the expy today

    I've thought of doing that very thing myself, but never got around to sitting down and figuring the wiring. Sounds like another spring project for me... I remember you saying that (more than once) before, and I had a nice selection of extentions, swivel extentions and universals ready to go...

    What did you do to the expy today

    One other thing I did accomplish yesterday, changed out the broken rear DS tail light assembly. It had a chunk taken out of it when the previous owner went 'off road' with it (un-intentially, I believe). So in went a brand new light assembly I received as a gift at Xmas. My father was tired...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Started to change the #3 and 4 plugs and COPS to resolve the 0304 codes I've been getting, but found my hand is too big, my arm is too short, and can't see. Even after removing the battery, moving the heater hoses and various wiring out of the way I can almost see what I am doing until I get my...

    Window regulator question

    Diesel swap

    The issue with tank location is not in the case of an accident as such. If the tank blows, which is highly unlikely, you will be a goner whether the tank is in the trunk or underneath between the frame rails - a bit of sheet metal between the tank and your body would be meaningless. Just for...

    Diesel swap

    With no other changes to the engine, going to LPG will actually lose you a bit of power and mileage (a guy tends to lean on the pedal harder when power is down). Back in the day I drove a courier van here in the city that I had converted to the stuff (was 5-15¢ a litre when gas was going for...

    Weird Idle Noise

    Any check engine lights, or other symptoms? Based on that very brief description, could be a great number of possibilities, but I must admit that a simple misfire comes to mind. that is just a blind guess and shot in the dark without more info...

    Snow Tire Recommendation

    when it comes down to it, any snow tire will perform better in the snow and ice than an all season. While my truck currently has all seasons on it currently and I know that it would e better with snows, it is good enough to get me around safely. I had Hankooks on the last car I had, and...
