    whats faster with/without overdrive

    Think of Overdrive as a fourth gear. Having it on or off does nothing for off the line driving. Here's some easy reading on the subject. :) http://auto.howstuffworks.com/automatic-transmission.htm

    low pressure port on AC?

    I guess if he had IN WRTING from a mechanic (or himself0 thta all it needed was re-charging then maybe you'd have some grounds. As I see (read) it, sounds like the guy just made a wrong mechanically diagnosis. _______ At FTE you have free gallery space. Upload your pics and then link to...

    New Expedition XLT Owner

    WOW! 23K on an 05! Someone musta lived in that thing! :D Ford ESP is really the only way to go if you ask me. You pay more but you don't get any hassles about claims. Well worth the $$ in my book if you plan on getting any type of Extended Service Plan. If you picked up your Expy at a...

    low pressure port on AC?

    I find that using both fulfills my "activity" needs. :) What's wrong with the layout over at FTE? Maybe I can get some changes to happen.

    Fuel pump noise after start up?

    How many miles are on the truck? the fuel filter? I would start with replacing that inexpensive part prior to doing anything else. ----- Detailing Q... What is the best way to hide/remove rock dings on the painted from bumper cover? Last time the detailing guy waxed the truck it...

    Transfer Case

    Why can't you just pull the front driveshaft off? It wouldn't hurt anything to do that. ------- How are you verifying that you are indeed stuck in 4HI? If you are indeed stuck in 4HI then pulling the driveshaft will not solve the wheel binding issue you'll have on dry pavement. You'll...

    My review of a carbon fiber dash kit

    I don't wipe it down with cleaner. I only use water. :) The adhesive side is pretty strong stuff! I imagine it'll be there for the rest of the truck's life.

    Advtrac QUESTION, please help

    Have them keep the repair order open until you hit the 200 mile mark. Problems that are being worked on under warranty that still have an active work order open must be completed regardless if the truck's mileage or age push it out of the warranty period.

    Gas Milage

    Not having to look us in the eyes when he types it?? :p

    Gas Milage

    Well japato, I would say 14.8 is pretty good given you don't see much, if any, highway time. That is about what I get with my 03 5.4L 4x4 all the time. We do not have highways here on the Big Island.

    You can add your own code but you can never overwrite the factory code. :)

    Keyless entry codes (change factory?)

    1-2-3-4-5? If the dealer says that it cannot be changed (within financial reason) them I would assume that it cannot. It would require a new or totally reprogrammed PCM or GEM. I don't know what to tell ya other than most folks don't even see it on the truck where it is, so theft may not...

    What's the GAIN?

    You probably got about 30-40 more HP to the rear wheels @ 5200 RPM. (WAG) Curious...why would you make all those expensive exhaust mods but keep the stock muffler and tailpipe?

    Discolored Side Panels

    Yes, many people have. That's why Ford is replacing them for FREE! Go visit your dealer and have him pull the TSB concerning the faded panels. :)

    Rear Seat Audio Controls

    I updated my post. I had it in a confusing "order". Do you think my suggestion of unplugging the rear audio controls will work for you?

    Rear Seat Audio Controls

    Unfortunantly it will reset itself to ON each tiem you re-start and there is no way to defeat that unless you make a new circuit board for the radio. Try unplugging it instead. Pull the rear console panel off. There are two torx screws at the top. They are right under that back...
