    1998 limited slip

    For the rear, there are many choices for limited slip and locking differentials. You don't need to change out axles though. If you have an open differential in the back, you may be able to find a 'lunchbox locker' for the rear. It installs easily in the existing differential carrier and you...

    While it's "On the Rack" what else would you recommend?

    If he is going to remove the radiator to get some extra room, it would be a good time to send out the radiator for a recon.

    Suggestions for fender trim or flares... Rust coverup!

    Why not spend that money on repairing the rust instead of a short term cover up?

    How to Swap a rear Door

    It's probably better to leave the hinges on the door. Be prepared to spend a bit of time lining everything up. You may have to tweak it a few times to get all the shut lines even. You'll also want to have a friend or two around to lend a hand. Of course, I swapped out the liftgate by myself...

    E vap system

    If you can locate the canister, check it to see if it's full of water. My brother's sportrac had this error and that's what it turned out to be. It's an issue that usually happens when you get to 150k+ miles.

    raptor rims

    You want to make sure that they are 'hub-centric" meaning that the center hole of the adapter fits tightly against the center of the hub. This avoids vibration issues.

    Missing Prop Shaft???

    Nope. It sounds like the previous owner replaced the dash with a 2wd version. The entire system would need to be checked out to see if there was a problem that forced him to remove that driveshaft. There would be no benefit to removing it (fuel economy, etc) so it begs the question 'why?'

    Tactical seat covers

    If they don't fit perfectly, any decent canvas guy or upholstery shop could modify them to fit.

    Significant Drop in MPG need help!

    Have you checked to see if you have any vacuum leaks? (especially the elbow on the back of the throttle body) Is that an oiled filter? Those can mess up the mass air sensor. A decent scan tool will let you look at the various sensor outputs, which can give you an idea of what is going on.

    Airbag light is on how to turn it off

    That light means that the airbags are disabled due to the fault. You really do want to get this fixed. You at least, need to get the code pulled to see what the fault is. It could just be a coincidence and the fault lies elsewhere.

    Swaybar rubs to the axles when cornering.

    The swaybar links may be generic replacements that are too long (or too short) again, we need pix.

    Airbag light is on how to turn it off

    It would seem that either something came unplugged when you were working on it or a wire became pinched. The only way to turn off an airbag light is to fix the problem that caused the light to go on in the first place. Remember those airbag systems get data from many different places. Seat...

    Need headlamp replacement "how to"

    I put in the Lightning / Harley edition headlights and was very happy with them. Most of the projector type headlights suck. I hated mine.

    Super white led in cluster

    If you're going to all that trouble to pull the gauges, why not get one of those overlays that have built in EL illumination? Something like this USA 99 03 Ford F150 Expedition Blue Glow Gauges Face Overlay 00 01 02 | eBay

    I think I just F'ed myself with PATS

    You could send the ecu out to a place like 150tunes.com and they can disable the PATS. Of course that's going to take a few days and cost $150. Probably not any cheaper of faster than towing it to the dealer. Not that it helps, but the moral of the story is to always make sure that you have a...

    Body Control Module

    Ford calls it a GEM (generic electronic module). If you do a quick search on the forum for GEM, you'll see plenty of threads about it.

    A little help please? loud humming

    You'll notice that the vacuum disconnects the wheel end. So if you have a vacuum leak, the wheel end will engage, either fully or partially. Fortunately, it's easy to test the wheel ends with a small vac pump (like in the video).

    Suspension renewal?

    Energy suspension makes a kit that has all the bushings in it for the front and rear. Doing this in addition to the ball joints will really help take the slop out of the suspension. You can also get a knocking noise from worn unit bearings (wheel bearings) in the front. If these haven't...

    Airconditioning refrigerant charging

    It's really worth having a pro do this. First, the system needs to be evacuated of all air / refrigerant / gunk. This also tests the system for leaks. A pro can put the exact amount of refrigerant in the system that is required. If you do it yourself, you are just guessing based on pressures...

    Top bumper plastic removal?

    Try to do that project on a warm day, with the truck sitting in the sun for a few hours. Those clips can be brittle.

    using bed liner on trim or rims?

    The bedliner is much more permanent than the plastidip. I used bedliner spray on the fender flares and it held up fantastic.

    4-Wheel drive upgrades.

    I looked for ages trying to find a way to change the front end over to locking hubs. Nothing short of doing a solid axle swap will make it work.
