    Michelin ltx a/t2

    I have a set of AT2's for mine. They grip great in the snow and look aggressive while being almost silent on the road. They will wear faster than the regular M&S 's though. I got 40k out of my first set. Just put my 315's on for winter though.

    Need help diagnosing a problem(s)..

    It could be a bad fluid level sensor in the brake master cylinder reservoir or it's just on because the ABS light is on...

    Occupations.

    Started out installing commercial signs 1'-130' tall, did that for 18 years. Next I was a Service Manager and tuner at a dyno and custom tuning shop (mostly Mustangs) and currently I'm a Service Manager at a regional tire/auto shop. Working on the ground and indoors is a much better gig ;)

    To all 5.4L guys. a warning from my mechanic

    I run a repair shop and I can tell you it's pretty common. The last one we had was an E-150 loaded with tile. My own personal experience was riding in my buddies lightning and it chucked one out at 80mph under about twelve pounds of boost....it was very dramatic :)

    Need help diagnosing a problem(s)..

    A bad or loose hub assembly (bearing) could trigger a false ABS activation and/or cause the light to come on.

    Is your Expy parked lately? Mine is....

    If Clinton had taken care of Bin Laden when he had the chance, we wouldn't have had 9/11. Of course the .com economic wave couldn't last forever anyway. Anyhoo. I'm still driving mine everyday.

    Buzzing sound pass side of engine

    You might use some carb cleaner and check for a vacuum leak. An auto stethoscope would be very useful..

    Best location for sub box?

    I have a single 12" solo-baric L7 behind the 3rd seat and still have room for detailing supplies. The amp is mounted in the side storage area. All the sound with all the seating is nice.

    A new look...

    The black one is in the $300 range. It's more in chrome, but I would doubt you'd want to love tap anything with it.

    A new look...

    I love the AT/2 's ! I'm a Service Manager at a tire dealer. I could have any tire I want, but nothing beats Michelin. Thanks to all for the kind comments. Our dying bolt pattern doesn't allow many wheel choices, but I'm pleased with the outcome.

    98 Expedition running very rough

    Try cleaning the MAF. Sounds like the problem starts about the time it goes into closed loop.

    Alpine add-on head unit amp

    Alpine press release On Alpine's site it says it's compatible with 2005+ Alpine decks. It's 45w rms x 4 that simply plugs in between the harness and the head unit itself. This should solve some problems of full range speaker amp location. I spoke with the Alpine rep at my local shop...

    Muffler swap- OEM for 18in Maggy

    For those looking for less interior resonance, the Magnaflow (straight through) type muffler is a better choice. I've always had Flowmasters on my Mustangs, but they drone too much for the rear seat passengers in an Expy imo. I have a Flo-Pro MAX Stainless muffler on mine, it's a carbon copy...

    Clicking Noise at 5 MPH HELP

    Mine clicked at slow speed... It was the hub nut retainer ring behind the l/f center cap. I thin ring if black silicone fixed it.

    Detailed the Expedition

    Yes, I use the low-tack blue painters tape around the trim. You can also lay an old sheet or bath towel across the windshield and cowl area. I keep a damp towel on hand to immediately wipe off any splatter.
