    Been a while since I've been on here, and I apologize. New issue and it's weird. No ck suspension light. Ass end is sagging, bad. Compressor is Not running at all. I'm pretty sure water is getting into the gem module. Any ideas, hints, tips, etc? At a loss here.

    Did you guys have to manually adjust your shift points, or does the programmer do it for you?

    Another Programmer Question

    Been reading up on these programmers for a while, seems most everyone is getting up to a maximum of a 3mpg incgrease. But my question was, is when you set those programmers to performance, what kind of hp/torque gains are you all seeing?

    truck running rough, advice needed

    Mine was throwin the lean codes, and it ended up being a intake manifold gasket that was leaking on the back of the block. Problem was, when it warmed up all the way, it ran fine, just a CEL. I spent 3 weeks trying to figure it out, shop had it for 5 days before they could figure it out.

    A shudder not like what ive read yet... PLEASE HELP!!!

    I had the same issue, it was a fouled plug, and since I heard the coils went bad, I replaced all of them, when I did the plugs. Haven't had an issue since.

    Engine cutting out while driving

    Look at all the most common problems we've all had. Clean the IAC, check the pcv valve and tube, change the fuel filter and go from there. I think the fuel filters are supposed to be changed every 50K, and depending on the type of fuel ur running, and how low you run your tank. If I remember...

    Octane rating!

    What octane is everyone running? I'm runnin 89, took care of some chitty-chitty bang, bang, noises during startup. I read another post awhile back, and another guy was having problems with his engine making a lot of noise when it was cold out, so he ran 89 for 5 tanks and it went away. He said...

    Brake Rotors

    Yeah I started at 12 on a saturday, didn't get finished till mid day Sunday. Started with a ball peen, moved on to a framer, then a demolition, and finally a 5lbs sledge. Surprised I didn't knock it outta alignment. Trust me, I had it checked, too.

    Valvoline max life. 5w-30. Affordable, reliable, used it in all my vehicles. Never an issue.

    Expedition runs terrible after 1/2 throttle

    That almost sounds like a bad plug or coil. I had the exact same issue going up a hill or when the engine was under a load. Have you guys checked those recently?

    MAF Bolts

    Alright, after all the debates on the gotts mod vs. a CAI, I decided to try both. I'm currently running a MAC CAI, and I've got all the parts ready to install for the Gotts mod,......except the stupid bolts that hold the MAF sensor inside the original air intake, (must have misplaced them when...

    Brake Rotors

    Yeah, I had heard about that method AFTER I had already done mine. Haven't tried it. I even read about people cutting them off, too. Do yourself a favor, and when you put the mounting bolts for the caliper mounting bracket back on, MAKE SURE THEY'RE TIGHT. One of mine was just barely loose, and...

    Why do you drive an Expedition?

    Exploder had exploded, and the price was right. Bought mine about 5-6 years ago, dealer wanted 18,5. I drove off the lot for 11,9. Nobody wanted her. It was right when gas prices sky rocketed.

    Tinking noises in front engine bay

    Does it go away once the truck is reached normal operating temp?

    Brake Rotors

    Nah, rotors and pads are fine. The hard part will be getting the old rotors off. If they've been on to long they can seize on there. Make sure you have plenty of time to work on them, and use plenty of penetrating fluid like PB Blaster and a really big hammer. Took a day and a half to get my old...

    Voltage Spiking

    Sounds like the alternators shot. Run it up to your local auto parts store. They will check the charging system for free. Mine did the exact opposite. And in my opinion, skip the remanufactured junk and just get a brand new one.
