    Aftermarket Tail lights

    unfortunately aftermarket parts aren't super easy to come by for the 2nd gens. If you're decent with google you've probably found the same things anyone here would, but hopefully someone else can chime in! Good luck!

    Repurposing Suspension Air Compressor

    That's what I was thinking. It'll be tucked up right behind the rear diff and crossmember. So I should be fine, but I was thinking that the crossmember is pretty much in line with where the wheels contact the ground. So if I'm on a big rock, straddling another tall pointy rock that could...

    Repurposing Suspension Air Compressor

    Definitely. I went to Amazon and bought some in line fuses already. I'll make sure the fuse is on the forward side of the firewall lol.

    My Stock EB Expy to Overlanding 4X4 Build

    Thanks!! Hope they stand up to the abuse I'll be throwing their way! Still mulling over the best way to attach them to the frame. Im thinking some 3/8 steel plate, something like 3x3 welded onto the frame, then weld the 2x2 square tubing onto that so they arent attached directly to frame and...

    What does a loose spark plug sound like?

    Check out some local shops that exclusively work on transmissions/diffs. $4k seems pretty high.

    Repurposing Suspension Air Compressor

    Small update, bought a 5 gallon tank. Dimensions are appx 21x12x10. Any ideas of where to mount it?? Was thinking of where the spare used to be, but that spot seems susceptible to being dropped on a rock when I'm offroad. Unfortunately both of the arm rest/wheel well areas beside the third row...

    My Stock EB Expy to Overlanding 4X4 Build

    Alright boys and girls, this post is long over due. Had the rock sliders done for a little while now but I have tons of pictures from the whole process, and these forums don't really have an integrated album option. I'll post a few pictures and describe the process here, but the full album can...

    Repurposing Suspension Air Compressor

    Alrighty, first step done! Way easier than expected too. Just took out wiper fluid reservoir, disconnected the main plug to the compressor that had the + & - wires, and wired it up straight to the battery for a quick test run. I've already removed most of the push-to-connect air lines from...

    Repurposing Suspension Air Compressor

    I plan on putting at least a 3 gallon tank in the truck, if not bigger. That way I can run the compressor intermittently when I'm on the trail heading back to the road and fill up the tank to 150 psi or so, and be able to fill up the tires pretty quickly from the tank and not have to worry about...

    Repurposing Suspension Air Compressor

    Quick question for anyone who has jumped the compressor before.. there are four wires coming off the compressor, I know two are the hot/gnd wires for the compressor itself, but was wondering what the other two wires are? Looks like it is maybe the vent solenoid assembly, but I thought there was...

    Repurposing Suspension Air Compressor

    Starting to work on this project now that I finished up my rock sliders. I'll update my other thread with pics of that process soon. I drained and removed my windshield wiper fluid reservoir, although I dropped one of the bolts that secured it between the compressor and the wheel well and...

    Front vents low air flow.

    The cabin air intake is in the footwell of the passenger seat I believe. Could be some sort of blockage or could be a bad vent actuator. Unrelated but I cant believe ford decided to not include a replaceable cabin air filter for the 2nd gens. Weird design choice.

    Im trying to lift my expedition

    @mbtech2003 is right. You're not going to get more than 3in out of the front. At least not without replacing upper and lower control arms, brake/abs lines, and maybe the cv axle if you lift it enough. I put Rancho quick lift struts on mine which gives 0.75 in over stock height, and I put a...

    Cold air intakes

    @svt_amg did you get rid of the cat when you put the straight pipe in? Also is there a heat shield for the air filter or is it just sitting in the engine bay like that? Any noticeable HP gains?

    My Stock EB Expy to Overlanding 4X4 Build

    @MrBlargMan Finally changed out every fluid in the truck and went to my local OHV park to test it out. Took it easy but had a blast! I'm definitely going to need to trim my bumpers, I did a little bit already but at full deflection it was still rubbing. That while line on the bottom image is...

    2nd Gen Fluid Change Mega Thread

    @Al Steel Alright apologies for the delay, coolant change has been done for a month but I have had almost no free time lately so I'm just getting around to posting. This should take you about 45 min - 1.5 hours, and will probably make a bit of a mess, so try to do this in a place where you can...

    2nd Gen Fluid Change Mega Thread

    Coolant change is the last thing on the list for me, I'll be posting a more in detail write up with pics soon. In the meantime, I thought I'd make a comment on the oil for our trucks. Ford went with the 5w-20 spec due to what many people in the know believing that Ford was trying to bump up...

    My Stock EB Expy to Overlanding 4X4 Build

    Really happy with how they turned out! Barely rubs at all at full lock, and thats only the lip of the front bumper. Im either going to trim it or remove it completely and fab up a metal one. Maybe when prices of steel come down a bit lol. I feel like I could even fit 37's on there! Although I'd...

    2nd Gen Fluid Change Mega Thread

    Just finished up doing a power steering fluid flush, and did it a bit differently than how the shop manual above says to do it. Fordtechmakuloco on youtube recommends removing the crankshaft position sensor instead, which is located on the underside of the engine towards the front: Then...

    Need to replace brake line from antilock to rear brakes

    I have a pressurized brake bleeder kit and after using it a bunch honestly I don't even use it when doing brake flushes anymore. Only use the catch cans now. Just top off the reservoir, crack one bleeder ***** at a time, making sure that the level in the reservoir doesn't get too low. Rinse and...

    SCT Tuner review

    Awesome, thanks for the info man appreciate it! Would be super cool to have those gauges and was the main reason I was even considering, but after spending a few grand on wheels, tires, suspension, and the increased price of metal for my rock sliders/bumpers I want to make I think I'll save my...
