    Need to replace brake line from antilock to rear brakes

    Main Problem now is trying to get all the air out. There must be an easier way than pulling fluid through with a vaccum hand pump and catch cup. Any better methods ?

    Need to replace brake line from antilock to rear brakes

    Inline tube's kit arrived, tried to figure out the connection points and positioning before ripping the old lines out. Not easy at all, wasted a whole Saturday looking for a gender changer for one of the lines. Sunday had limited time to mess with it as well. Seems the diagram has the position...

    Need to replace brake line from antilock to rear brakes

    Well I purchased the kit from inline tube .com for brake lines, Stainless will be less of a worry later on. The line running over the fuel tank is still going to be " delicate surgery " and tank straps. I got though the cooling system and side window, the electric problems will take a bit...

    Need to replace brake line from antilock to rear brakes

    After "Doing My Own Research" here on the Expedition forum there was a suggestion to buy from "In Line Tube" (inlinetube.com) kit number SFRB0203. Has anyone dealt with these folks? Price was not bad for Stainless line. I have a feeling that other lines may have joined the rust club as well...

    New engine or new vehicle ?

    Question should center on 'how is the rest of the truck'? The engine is a biggie to replace. Is this a work vehicle? Anything special that is hard to move to another vehicle? I stopped anything newer for me at 2004 due to the engine going from 2 valve to 3 valve (far less reliable and...

    Need to replace brake line from antilock to rear brakes

    Hello folks its been awhile. I had a short road trip and used the brakes hard to make an exit. Brake light came on 'bout a mile or two down the road. Checked the brake fluid, none in the plastic tank. Made it to a Walgreens and bought nearly all the cans of fluid (four total). Needed three...

    2003 Expedition Front passenger side axle falling out differential????

    Well, my favorite source - youtube: May give you a starting point and some heads up on working in this location. I lost a c-clip on a rear differential of a Ch-vy Bl-z-r before trading it in. Almost lost the axle and tire if it weren't for the rotor holding it in. Get a new clip and...

    Seat rebuild kit?

    My seats are also beat with the electric base not working to good. I shut off the adjustment when entering and leaving the truck. I was hoping for a good (not new) replacement from a salvage yard, haven't been looking too hard since working from home.

    Transmission fluid

    I normally just drop the pan, replace the screen and replace the gasket. I notice Ford tried to have a reusable gasket but mine ended up breaking apart. Typical amount of fluid is 4 - 5 quarts. Use exactly what is spec. out. If you notice more than a drop of garbage on the magnet consider...

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    Still need to re-install the interior parts but since I still don't have a working lock for the tailgate (I can still operate it manually) I'll leave those parts off until I trace the electrical fault.

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    After window was replaced, tried to clean the sealant off with "spray can wrench" stuff. It helped but not all the way clean.

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    Cleaned and ran a bead of sticky stuff from NAPA, "window sealant" that wasn't cheap ($33 if my memory is correct).

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    More pictures of what is under the plastic trim and roof. The pictures of the clips ended up being a good reminder. I started replacing the fasteners on the window without them. Double checking the pictures led to the OOPS.

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    OK, here is the highlights of the window repair/ replacement. Opening up the interior so that the bad frame can be removed.

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    OK, today (Wed.) I picked up the window. The Salvage Yard (T&E Auto Wreckers, Avenel, NJ) took out the whole window, frame and tossed in the motor as well. The close up is what failed on the vehicle, the two glue spots just stop gripping the window. Now this weekend I'll have to start...

    Tune up or leave alone?

    You can look back on my plug change on a 5.4L, the driver side bank was find. The passenger side the front two spark plugs were almost loose enough to back out by hand. If I had waited any more one of them may have tore through what was left of the threads and punched a hole through the hood...

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    Over the weekend I went window shopping at the local Salvage yards, bought the window from one, it will be Tues. or Wed. to get it out of the truck. I'll let you know how that went Thurs. or Fri. The idea of a mixing nozzle on the epoxy is to do just that mix. How well it mixes is another...

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    I had bad experiences with eBay, I'll only spending an amount of money I'm willing to lose. Now, times are such I'm not willing to lose a hundred bucks. I'll live without the window until I see what I'm buying first hand. The Loctite adhesive is an industrial product, I would look at this...

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    Update, did not find a window yet. Will call and look in nearby part yards this weekend. Has anyone had experience with 50ml cartridge epoxy that looks like the squeeze things in hardware stores but need a mixing nozzle and special feed gadget or caulking gun adapter? The adhesive I'm looking...

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    If the most reasonable fix is to get a plain part of glass from a salvage yard I would need to know what glue to use (normal epoxy is not going to do it nor Black Max superglue). The old one is "cleanly" off the two metal flexing hinges so no clue there. Next is the other end which needs a snap...

    Side vent window "fell out", Where to buy replacement ?

    Hello folks, Had an unexpected problem. Driver side rear window became unglued at the hinge. Had no idea this happened. Had a funny rattle while driving at slow speeds around town, pulled into a parking lot to see what was loose. Thought the side window was half closed, decided to open and...

    Weird stuff in the 2003 Eddie B. Expedition I bought.

    I found some loose wires and some gadgets in the truck. I'll post pictures if someone recognizes the things. I would like a heads up on the amount of rewiring I may be in for getting the things out or re-using them.

    2003 Eddie B, No power to tailgate lock

    Im the guy that had the over heating adventure, this is an area (wiring) that normally is not my friend. Now this is another project, since I bought the truck the trailgate was locked up. I manage to break the locking slider part of the latch and unlocking the latch. The latch part worked...

    2003 5.4L recent purchase is overheating after sparkplug change.

    It happens too fast like running over a pothole. I'm planning to change the screen and add Mercon V since the drip stick list it. Is motorcraft a must or would Valvoline be OK?
