    Are there any Issues with Replacing the Spark Plugs in my 2003 with the 5.4 Engine??

    Most of the time, it's not an issue. Most of the time. But, there have been enough problems that Ford is catching hell for their stunning lack of support. Apparently (and I could easily have this exactly backwards) the 2V engines don't have enough threads, and they are soft and easily stripped...

    they don't post relevant dimensions for any of their mounts on their web site. when I asked them for a measurement, this is the answer I got: From: BuiltRight Industries Support <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 21, 2020 7:39 AM To: xxx Subject: Re: Form Submission - Contact Us...

    Crazy Expedition to Cargo van idea?

    Making the wild assumption that the “rear” seats are the third row, mine came that way. I bought it from a fire department. They had a rack in back for their gear; it came out easily enough. Then i had a flat space from the second row all the way to the hatch. FWIW, the third row, had it been...

    Ground Clearance

    Yeah, that’s what I’m about down to. I just hate that kind of solution, but in small sizes it’s usually ok. I’ll probably wind up going with that.

    ipad tuning software

    LokiWolf, thanks very much for your quick response. I don't have the ecoboost. i have the 04 5.4L2V, so I think I'm good there. The HP tuner, though half the cost of the SCT, seems dangerous to me in the hands of an amateur. I get the impression it’s a great tool for the professional, but not...

    aux fuel tank

    I didn't know where else to put this. i want to put an aux fuel tank in the spare tire location of a 2004 4x4 Expy. does anyone know the available dimensions for that location? I'm physically disabled, so measuring it myself is difficult. your help is appreciated. thanks jg

    33" in spare tire location

    no.

    Transmission cooler

    nope, that doesn't follow its own rules. if that were the case, then why the X in the Std. Expedition column? I think they may have meant what you said, but they were at least inconsistent about the application. Makes me wonder about what else they might have F'd up.

    33" in spare tire location

    all valid considerations, but based on previous experience with an F150 2WD, I think it'll be ok. It is something to look out for, though. EDIT: based on the front axle capacity, your guesstimate of an increase of 200 lbs on the front axle, and the vehicle's payload, I guesstimate a remaining...

    Got some leaks

    this appears to be a systemic issue with Fords. I've owned 2 fords that leaked like a submarine with a screen door. an F150 that leaked at the rear window, and a Mustang that leaked behind the glove box.

    15-17 Owners just get the SSV transfer case skid plate. It costs $35 including hardware!

    so that skid plate will NOT fit an '04 4x4 Expy? I'm looking for real one (not fiber, etc.) for my 04. anybody got any idea where to look?

    Anyone have the 15-17 transfer case skid plate part #

    7.3 Godzilla into 3rd gen? Anyone?

    before going to that level of expense, time and labor, I'd give some serious thought to dropping in one of the million mile 12V Cummins engines.

    cross bar

    I'm looking for a crossbar for a 2004 Expy roof rack. The former owners (Fire Department) took one of them off, apparently to make room for antennas. I may have posted this already, but I'm darned if I can find it now. thanks jg

    34" tall tire

    You're right, I should have said. I was hoping to learn whether anyone at all had ever installed any 34" tire, as a start point for my research. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on 34" Nitto Tread Grappler GT2 285/75/17. They should be in this week. l bought from Discount again despite the...

    Transmission cooler

    I must be missing something. What is the difference, in the chart above, between (Std.) and "X"?
