    Compass not working correctly

    Don't be afraid of the calibration procedure, it's essentially just driving in relatively slow circles.

    SAS swap

    A 5.4 4x4 will have the Ford 9.75" rear end which should be fine for them big meats.

    SAS swap

    This kit is really only a small part of the entire project. As stated above, you are certainly going to need the front axle, drive shafts, the rear lift to match, gears (I certainly wouldn't want to turn anything larger than a 37" tire with 3.73 gears) and then all of the "may as well's".

    longer drive shafts?

    Well the front diff is stationary, so no on that one. With a standard 6" lift the rear shaft is still fine. I would forget the spacers and torsion keys and just put in a 3" body lift. You're going to all the trouble of installing a suspension lift that keeps all the geometry in line, and...

    has anyone relocated the hitch 3in higher with the body lift?

    I'm not aware of anything stock that could just bolt on. Of course you could always fabricate something. Just keep in mind that you're going to need a really big drop ball mount to actually tow something. I liked having the hitch at the stock location, it was at the perfect step height to...

    Blew out #2 plug. Questions inside.

    I think the Ford dealer charged me $250 when I blew a plug. Since you're not dumping any fuel in to that cylinder, I think you should be safe to drive it to the shop.

    2003 5.4 wont start on first try..?

    Have you tried to put the key in the 'run' position for 20 seconds or so and then try to start it?

    Small utility trailer towing

    Depot and Tractor Supply and Harbor freight all have decent ball mounts in 2" and 4" drops. Tractor supply also has the bigger 6" & 8" drops. (as well as the adjustable ones) Best thing to do is to set the trailer level (or maybe a bit nose high) and then measure where the tongue is off the...

    Small utility trailer towing

    I think you'll find that towing from the bumper may be too high for a small utility trailer. The back of the trailer may drag. My 5' x 8' bike trailer (with 12" wheels) needs a dropped ball mount to stay relatively level, even when towing with my brother's stock height Sportrac. I used an 8"...

    97 expedition xlt overheats when the a/c is on

    I agree with Tom. Next time the truck is completely warmed up, turn it off and then give the fan a spin by hand. It shouldn't want to spin. (the clutch engages when it's hot)

    yet more 4 wheel drive problems

    Selector switch could be bad. I would also check that the center axle disconnect lever on the axle will move. It's a steel rod going through an aluminum housing and sometimes it will corrode and stick.

    Ordered my new bumper

    Mine was $1010 shipped to Ohio. Tactical armor group (.com) has pricing on their site for all the available options. The base bumper isn't that pricey, but it adds up quickly when you start optioning it out.

    decode my rear differential tag

    That was also 8300 lbs when it was new. Heavy towing with a 14 year old truck is going to reveal any weak points or deferred maintenance. Trans cooling is one of the main limiting factors.

    Radiator??

    I agree, you really do need to check the trans fluid (and engine oil) for signs of moisture. If you didn't replace the radiator, what exactly did you do to fix the problem?

    reputable wheel source

    It just takes some leg work (ok finger work, on the computer) to find wheels. It's not a popular bolt pattern but it's certainly not impossible to find wheels. A small start up company isn't the answer. Think about it, a small company with limited resources is going to have to make a wheel...

    Mystery component, in DS rear frame rail

    That's what you need to replace when you're filling up at the gas station and the fuel doesn't want to go in and spits back up the fill tube.

    is it just me or do these trucks just try to steer where they want to?

    I think having full ps boost on the highway would make the truck even more 'darty'.

    What stereo do i have?

    Ford never missed an opportunity to place logos on items. If it doesn't say Mach... It ain't.

    Anyone here ever relocated the reverse lights and put turn signals in their place?

    I guess the real issue isn't adding the turn signal bulb (that's easy), it's stopping the original turn signal from working without compromising the brake light function.

    rear brakes not working

    Don't the rear calipers adjust by cycling the e-brake? (Anyone, I can't remember ) Can you verify that rear caliper pistons aren't moving at all when the brake is applied? Can you see if a brake line has been crushed or bent?

    Help oil choice for 05 Expedition 5.4L 3v 180k miles

    It can't hurt to move up to a slightly thicker oil for the summer. I love Valvoline MaxLife for high mileage motors.

    Expy vs. F250

    If you're towing, you really do need to pick up a programmer (edge, my preference). It will drastically improve shifting, and make towing a much more enjoyable experience.

    3/4 ton differential swap

    Doesn't that already have the 9 3/4" axle under it?
