    What is a Romeo engine?

    All the "Romero" means is the plant it was assebled at. It will either be "Romero" or "Windosor" as far as most newer Ford V8's go.

    Oil Change

    I run the 5w20 with the Lucas additive ( 1 qt ) and either a motorcraft (if on sale) or a regular fram. I have an afftermarket tripple pillar so I can keep an eye on my trans temp, water temp, and oil pressure with actual numbers and cold startup 90psi @ 800rpm hot is 45-50psi water temp 220...

    Ahhhh ... that new exhaust smell

    For me it was less than a week, but I frequently drive 175 - 250 mile round trip on the interstate at 80Mph ( 3-4 times a week )

    Oil Change

    I agree with Tonydiv I also use the Valvoline Maxlife and it works great, the only thing for me is since I have 90 - 100 degree temps for most of the year I like to throw in a bottle of the Lucas Full synthetic additive as well.

    CHT Error Misfires....

    Well if you have the money and are set on swapping the motor, I would definatley go reman over used. At least that way you have a 0 mile motor with warranty and you know you wont have any surprises down the road.

    01 expo 2wd sitting on the fender wells :(

    Check this thread post #4 it gives you the compressor test instructions. http://expeditionforum.com/showthread.php?t=6944 Like I said it is your choice but I love the air ride and I will never go with springs. It may be an expensive system to fix, but well worth the comfort to me. One...

    CHT Error Misfires....

    A head gasket is a lot easier and alot cheaper than a complete R&R of the motor. Using any type of block sealer makes it alot harder to clean the surfaces if you decide to do the head gasket, so I would recomend checking prices and how much you want to spend before you use any block sealer...

    2000 Expy Air Suspension Just Quit Working

    I don't know if the control board is the same on the Navi but I would say its a pretty safe bet. You have almost ruled everything out the only other things in the system are the control board and the ride height sensors.

    01 expo 2wd sitting on the fender wells :(

    If you do a google search you will find other brands for this conversion, a lot of people have gone that way and are happy. The kit will alow you to tow a trailer, but you may get a little sag to the Expy. I prefer the air ride for one the comfort and for two the load leveling when towing, but...

    A Slew of Problems All At Once

    The door ajar switch needs to be replaced, or the wiring to it is broken somewhere. When that switch closes ( grounds ) it completes the circuit therefore turning on the dome lights and shutting off the radio, but if the switch is stuck (open like if the door was closed) nothing will come on...

    Glad I could help. If you have any other questions throw 'em out there.

    rough idle/lack of power

    Yes replacing the cats does involve welding and there are 4 of them. The low idle problem sounds like another alot of people have experienced with the PCV valve and line, the rubber "elbows" will actually rot and colapse on them selves or give you a really bad vacumm leak causing this.

    WTB tires and rims for 1998 expedition...NY

    Actually the '97 - '02 expeditions use the 5 x 135 bolt pattern ( All 1st gen.) and if I remember correctly the f150 used the same pattern thru '03 on some models.

    Which is the resonator on the stock exhaust?

    I am guessing by your name that you have an '01 if so the big one under the passanger seats is going to be the muffler and the smaller one at the tail pipe is the resonator ( basically a second muffler just to keep it quiet ). You can get rid of the resonator with out getting a CEL here are...

    DRL trouble

    If fuse #9 in the under hood box only dissables the fog lights, then it sounds more like an issue with the Auto lamp feature or a relay. The factory DRL system gets it's only power feed from fuse #9 under the hood and the only two circuits on that fuse are the DRL if equiped and also the fog...

    DRL trouble

    From what I remember there are a few things to check. The first ( not trying to be an A** ) does your headlight switch have the two dials one for panel dim and the other for auto lamp? if so have you checked to see what the time interval is set at for the auto lamp? Other than that for DRL's...

    2003 5.4 cranks but won't start

    Glad it helped, hope you can get that wiring harness traced out. One good thing about playing Mr. mom for a while, is I have all kinds of time to sit in front of the computer :D ( Had surgery on my wrist and still healing so I am out of work for the time being ) That and I get to spend a lot...

    07 Stock DVD player question

    If you can't find a remote, or you want to get it back to normal before the remote gets to you. Unhook the negative battery cable for about 30sec then hook it back up. All settings will convert back to factory ( only thing is sometimes the way it is set is the factory setting ) I am not sure...

    Front Bumper Brush Guard

    I have not seen one on an expedition, but I have had plenty of experence with the Ranch Hand bumbers on the super duty ford diesles and they are one hell of a bumper. They are built solid and made to work.

    New shoes...

    I do alot of towing ( car trailer ) and don't want to take a risk with such a small sidewall. I like the look but for towing I think the 22" will do better. Have you done any towing with the 24"? If so how does it do ( ride / handling ) ? I would also like to run a TPMS system when I do...

    Where do i put freon in my 2001 Expdition

    No idea why Ford put it there it is a pain to get to, but once you know where it is it's not bad just kinda time consuming. The last time I pulled the bracket off I had a full arm cast on my right arm so doing every thing with my left was not fun but I was still able to do it.
