    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    when you say "counts tire size increase" do you mean because of the tire size increase?

    *********** TPMS module reporting in your Expedition (ForScan)

    ha! I've got to chuckle at this. I had these rims and i swapped them out for the hd steel rims. because mine was used for some ranking bureaucrat weenie with access to our tax dollars, they bought mine with the fancy wheels. which I've been trying to get rid of for a few months, but no one...

    dual in, single out? (04 4x4 SSV 5.4L 2V)

    this is every tank since I bought it. the jump in octane in the middle is when i loaded a high octane performance tune. My next step is to look for a vacuum leak. the last 93 octane tank, at the bottom, is because they were out of regular.

    dual in, single out? (04 4x4 SSV 5.4L 2V)

    Eric, thanks! I'm no exhaust expert. everything I'm writing here I'm getting from research. the point of exhaust velocity is to assist the engine in emptying the cylinders effectively. slowing the flow down with a big pipe interferes with that. Or, so I've read. I've already figured out that a...

    dual in, single out? (04 4x4 SSV 5.4L 2V)

    I've looked at the Gibson offering. I'm not paying over 500 bucks for what amounts to a replacement pipe and a better muffler. EDIT i just did some math, which i either did wrong, or not at all. either way, a 3.5" pipe does not double the area of a 2.5" pipe. that would require a 5" pipe...

    Built 5.4

    I'd be interested in 5.4L 2V engine upgrades that increase that "insane torque" even more. so far, all I've found out is shorty headers. any advice? I'm looking for more low end torque. thanks jg

    dual in, single out? (04 4x4 SSV 5.4L 2V)

    thanks! that's the kind of info I needed. I am dropping the spare; it's going to a bumper mount, probably on the front.eventually, I'll be installing an aux fuel tank in that location. if i did the math right, a tank the same volume as the spare, considering the spare as a square, (height x...

    dual in, single out? (04 4x4 SSV 5.4L 2V)

    looking for input regarding an exhaust setup for my 2004 SSV 4x4 XLT Expedition with the 5.4L 2V. I have a tuner on it already, and I have the FORSCAN adapter and SW but I've yet to use it. I'm running the 87 octane tune on it - it is barely better than the OEM police tune it had, and mileage is...

    should I trust a ford dealer to install my engine

    no, it does not require a new engine. that damage is repairable/rebuildable. question is, what does that cost compared to a replacement engine? Prices for both vary wildly across the country, so it depends on where you are. I've been messing around in this business since I was a teen. whether...

    Shocking discovery about base curb weight - for true payload calculation

    i think the point about hidden panels, etc., is valid, but having said that, I don't think a difference of about 6% is too much to write off to different variables, such as the factory fuel load, tires, etc. - the things you were trying to account for. You're on the right track, but I don't...

    Upgraded rear dif cover?

    The ones I’ve seen are not that expensive; they can’t hurt, but I’ve never heard of anyone having an issue because of overheated diff lube or not enough diff lube.

    what about "Oil Catch Can" ?

    oh, great, somebody else that lies about what's posted. I never said they don't catch oil. you implying that I did is a lie. YOU SAID there's evidence "... your engine runs better.". what real people call "improved performance". so either produce that or STFU. stop playing games.

    Recomendations for Wheels & Tires for 33's?

    are you sure about that 33" max? I got 33.8 on my 2nd gen with no mods at all- it put my 04's ground clearance up to 10". FWIW, it's an SSV (police package) but I don't think that had any lift on it.

    Exhaust for 2nd Gen

    i was just at the magnaflow site. their second generation "performance exhaust" solution is over 700 dollars for a pipe and a muffler which still needs to be installed. not doing that.
