    High Flow cats with stock mufflers or Dual exhuast

    If at all posible when doing the cat back try to get rid of the factory Y and run a dual in / single out muffler. The factory Y is really restrictive and for the little extra money you will see a large increase in performance along with a small increase in fuel economy. The factory Y is...

    Could Torque Convertor issue really be the GEM unit?

    ? how many miles are on the truck? Given the year I would say at least 100k? Alot of people do not change out the coils and plugs for: 1. Ford says it dosn't need to be done until 100k 2. They are a bit of a PITA 3. If the old owner had heard the stories of plugs being "spit out"...

    Could Torque Convertor issue really be the GEM unit?

    Under acceleration is when you need the most spark and if the coils are going out ( something is causing a missfire we know this by the blinking CEL) you will not have the power needed and the truck will begin to shudder, buck and jump around. Think of it this way what happens when you are...

    2000 ford expedition

    Sounds like you my friend have the infamous windsheild leak. I will leak in the top corner and run down and drip on the GEM module. Look under your dash for water spots and if you see them have your windsheild resealed!

    towing with P rated tires

    The lower rated michilins have a max air pressure rating of 44psi so I would run them at 40psi if I where you. I had seen another post of yours saying that you thought you where at 30-35psi. If you run them at 40 will be up at the top of your load carry capacity, and also get better fuel...

    towing with P rated tires

    It depends on the size that you got but you should be ok since you will not have much tounge weight with that little pop up. Here is what I found on the load capacity from tirerack.com, just look for your size and it will give you what they are rated at...

    Could Torque Convertor issue really be the GEM unit?

    As far as the Tq converter issue I have seen stranger so I would not rule it out just yet. But then you mention having the CEL flashing at you at times. When the CEL is flashing, it means that you have a missfire on one or more cylinders but it is random and not steady enough to SET the CEL...

    High Flow cats with stock mufflers or Dual exhuast

    I am not to sure what all Magnaflow offers, but I am running the Flowmaster Big Block 70 series and it is not very loud until you step on it (it is just as long as the factory muffler but more free flowing)! Otherwise it is just a nice mellow tone. I was able to find these catalytic...

    how will it run with gutted cats

    well the non foulers are actually for the spark plugs but alot of people say that they space the o2 out far enough that they won't throw a code(never tried this so couldn't tell ya if it works). As far as the eliminators, they are a small box that plugs into the harness ( basically a resistor...

    how will it run with gutted cats

    yeah with the o2 sensors unhooked the computer will never come out of "open loop" (basically it is running on factory defaults stored in the computer) this being the case there are a lot of enviromental factors that could be messing with the way it runs (ie: altitude, temp,humidity and so on)...

    Wheel Vibration

    The easiest way to check your u joints is to get under the truck with it in park and try to "twist" your drive lines back and forth. If the u joints are bad you will see the bad one right away. If the drive line moves a little but you cannot see a bad u joint then it could possibly be slack in...

    Headers?

    Yeah the biggest price increase is when you pick the muffler(s) that you want you can easily add another $100 or more to your price depending on what you go with! My Big Block 70 series ran $150 (Oreilly's price matched Autozone) and it is a DI/SO that same muffler was quoted at just under...

    Rewiring factory fog lights

    What ever lights you go with just convert them over to HID not only will they be brighter, but the factory harness will handle the wattage since it is lower. There is a thread somewhere on here for converting the Hella 500's over using an H3 HID kit pretty easy to do and alot more light output...

    what have you done for your expy today?

    Well since it is the middle of winter in AK then I would say that your odds are pretty high! JK that does suck man hope you get her back soon!

    Headers?

    That would depend on the type of muffler(s) that you want to go with, and also if you can do the welding yourself or have a buddy that could do it. For a shop probably around $500 + (parts & labor) just depends on what you want to do. I did a rear cat delete, removed the factory Y and...

    load leveling

    Those systems work really good, and the nice thing is that it get's rid of the "floating" feeling on the front end as well. The 1 thing that I would recomend thou is if you have the money make sure to pic up an on board compressor as well it makes it so much nicer because you have constant...

    Towing capacity for a 1997 4X4

    You are correct that the Expy will haul it with out a problem, BUT since he stated that it has a RESSE hitch that makes me think HE DOES NOT HAVE THE FACTORY TOW PACKAGE! If he starts putting on that kind of weight with out making sure that he has a class IV hitch he could be putting lives...
