    35" tires

    it may be true that "many people" think of ground clearance in that way. many people are wrong.

    what trans?

    I have looked everywhere I can think of. where did you find out? I'm not arguing about how the 4R100 is built, I believe you. I just want to know the source for your assertion that 44E code means the 4R100 trans. I have absolutely been unable to find that out. I'm hoping to learn something here...

    what trans?

    thank you, thank you, thank you!!! you would not believe how difficult it has been to find this out. Now, can you provide a source for this? does Ford publish it anywhere? thanks for your time. jg

    Dual Exhaust on 2003 not possible

    just wanted to point out that if you run two pipes down the same side of the truck, it's still duals.

    Larger Fuel Tank???

    so far, I've done the tuner, wheels and tires. I've got the hitch, waiting to do the install.

    All Repairs

    In my younger days, I did all my own work, short of rebuilding engines or trannies. Now my heart limits my strength and endurance so I farm out almost everything. last couple of jobs I did were a coil pack and an alternator; both of which kicked my ass. I've been meaning to do my rotors, but I...

    2nd gen throttle body

    what is the size, or capacity, of the OEM throttle body on the 04 5.4L 2V? I'm amazed that I cannot find that anywhere.

    Show your Lifted 3rd Gens

    how? specifically, how? if the bottom of the differential is still the same height above the ground, how is that an increase in ground clearance? how do these puck spacers move the differential farther from the ground?

    Stupid Crappy Underbody Protection!

    'nother Texas person here... but I've lived above the frost line. It might melt, but then again, it might build up and freeze up until it puts the squeeze on something significant. depends on which way the temperature goes.

    Cost of New Brake Pads and Rotors

    from all my research, the "best" rotors for daily driving or towing are the heavy, solid rotors; they will carry a higher heat load before developing issues. drilled and slotted rotors are best for constant brake use - they dump heat faster than others, forestalling issues such as fade.

    Water Fording - 2017 EL?

    I've seen an Amazon kit that extends those tubes as you suggest.

    35" tires

    I apologize in advance for the rant. Some of this is getting old. Sometimes the best thing is to keep my mouth shut, but I don't always do the best thing. There is one way, and only one way, to get increased ground clearance, and that's by installing taller tires. Or vertical lift jets, like...

    police interceptor air intake

    I've read elsewhere that the Ford Police Interceptor engine horsepower increase is mostly from opening up the air intake. can anyone comment, verify, etc.?

    4.6 Police Interceptor 2004

    here's a thought: rather than replacing the manifolds, I wonder whether it would be possible to take the computer out of the police car and put it in the Expy?

    storage dawers in a 1 st gen 1997 - 2002

    The store bought solutions cost more than a car. The fascist Youtube has multiple howto videos showing how to do it yourself. I haven’t seen a metal one, but seek and ye shall find - it’s the internet.

    $1100 tail light

    Once upon a time, in Texas, my car was totaled. I was offered chump change for it. The other party was at fault; I was talking to their insurance company. On advice of a LEO, I went car shopping locally and documented several like vehicles, and their prices. The insurance company wound up paying...

    Hauling cargo on top of the 2nd row bucket seats

    What to look for when buying a gen 2 expy

    "Triton" is a product name - it's branding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Modular_engine. Apparently Ford used it through 2010. Most Ford models changed from the 2v to the 3v at the same time; I have no clue why. It's not the first time they've done something like that (look up the 7700...

    Intake Manifold -5.4L 2v

    although i have no experience with this, from what I've read, I wouldn't use a dorman on a bet.
