    Miles per gallon MPG 2012 Model

    I was just looking at a Buick Verano with a friend the other day and noticed that on regular gas it had an estimated range of 400 miles on a tank. Using E85 that range was estimated at 290 miles. The bottom line for me. E85 sucks. Actually, I think that an lpg conversion would be a great way...

    2WD Off-Road Expy

    There's no reason for it, all the 2wd F150 front end suspension parts fit the expy. The biggest thing to do to make it work off road is to get some kind of a selectable locker in the rear diff to send power to both wheels.

    4x4 questions

    The truck should be running when you're doing these tests. You'll get more accurate results.

    spray foam in a can

    You're far better off using a product that is specifically made for that purpose. Lizard skin spray on soundproofer, dynamat, etc. Spray foam is just going to cause rust and rot, as it will hold moisture.

    4x4 questions

    Your truck has integrated wheel ends, so when it is in 2wd the front axles, differential and driveshaft should not be turning. When you put it in to 4wd, vacuum locks the integrated wheel ends and the transfer case motor switches the transfer case in to 4wd and sends power to the front...

    Spongy Brake Pedal

    If you are absolutely sure that there is no air in the system, then I would look to the booster / master. Look for fluid coming out of the back of the master. If it's dry then it could be the booster or the booster check valve. The booster and check valve are easily checked with a...

    Mpg display on dash at 11.8 - 12 mpg is this normal?

    Are you running the stock size tires? I would just do the occasional manual calculation on mpgs to see how accurate the computer is. Also, remember that the truck is as aerodynamic as a brick.

    Alternative fog lamps?

    Clear lens lights are cheap and available on ebay. I had them in mine, back when I had the stock bumper.

    My Master Plan!!

    Dixon Brothers also make a long travel front suspension with similar specs, if you can't get hold of that one. edit... Also $700 cheaper and includes the axles. http://www.dixonbrosracing.com/content/view/13/3/ I wouldn't even consider the 33"ers. The decision should really be between a 35"...

    Question about awd

    That's why I suggested to search for it.

    Battery drain - repeated dead battery

    If you get a decent clamp multi meter you can easily measure the current flow while the vehicle is sitting. Remember to disconnect the under hood light, or it will skew the results. On newer vehicles, you also may need to wait 10 or 15 minutes for the truck to really go to sleep. Once you...

    4 speed vs 6 speed

    I don't know that it makes a huge difference. But I would say that if you want rugged, look for one with the heavy duty towing package.

    Question about awd

    Search for 'brown wire mod' I think that's what you're looking for.

    CV Axle Seal leaking

    I'm pretty sure that it isn't a gasket, it's a seal. And like all seals, they need to be pressed in. Usually, a big socket and a hammer are all you need.

    sockets

    You can pick them up at any truck and trailer shop or most decent truck stops. They will be less than half of the price of the dealer.

    shocks for lifted expy

    I'm sold on the Rancho RS9000 adjustables. They have an application for trucks with a 4" lift, it should be fine for your application. If you want to go with something cheaper, any 4x4 shop can set you up with shocks for lifted trucks.

    Got in a crash and looking for a different bumper

    N-fab probably makes one. Of course I am partial to the Tactical Armor Group bumper.

    97 Expedition is ******* me off!!!!!

    I wouldn't rule out more bad cops. I ended up replacing all of them a month before I sold the truck. The last one that acted up didn't throw any codes at all.

    Pic/Info request 1st gen Rancho 4" lift

    Got the myride when I ordered the shocks. There was some kind of a deal, if I remember correctly. People balk at the price, but it was totally worth it to be able to set the truck up to go from the highway to a trail ride with the push of a button. It was also great for towing. Believe me, I...

    front suspension questions

    I wouldn't take it back to that same shop. They should have easily picked up on the problem wheel hub. If it's that loud then it is probably also loose and wobbly. Sounds like they are just parts changers and not actual mechanics.
