    Painted grill insert

    After trying several things to try and bring the grill color back, I gave up and painted it instead. I had originally wanted to take just the insert out, remove the ford emblem, and paint it that way, but it would have just been too time consuming. I ended up just leaving it on the truck, and...

    simple tests to do if you get stalled

    Never had to hit one that hard before, but I wouldn't doubt it for a second. Maybe I should have said hit it with something that isn't sharp enough to puncture it...lol

    simple tests to do if you get stalled

    Just a tip that I haven't seen mentioned yet is if you don't hear the fuel pump "whine" when the key is turned forward, get someone to TAP on the bottom of the fuel tank while the other person tries to crank it. Sometimes this trick will be enough to get it running, and get you home, or at least...

    ABS Control Module/Hydraulic Control Unit R&R

    I'm glad you posted this. My pump started doing the exact same thing a couple months back and I just unplugged it. My only question is, did the computer recognize the new part with no issues? If not, I'm gonna grab one from the junkyard on my next trip. Because I unplugged mine, I have no cruise...

    trying to decide on a 2000 EB. price/issues

    With that mileage it is probably getting close to the infamous "intake manifold crossover coolant leak" if its a 5.4L with the plastic intake manifold. Do a google search for more info. Its out there. Just went through it myself. BTW I'm in Ga. and I gave $3500.00 for my 2000 EB Expy earlier...

    Need engine part identified

    Yeah, the aluminum piece the hose attaches to that your referring to, is attached to a black plastic intake manifold. You can google search 5.4 plastic manifold and get all kinds of info on them failing. I replaced mine with a Dorman plastic manifold because they redesigned it and made it better...

    Need engine part identified

    I feel a little dumb admitting this, but I found my mistake that made it throw the code. I went back through the photos I took as I worked on it today and noticed I had accidentally put the red vacuum line that should have attatched to the fuel rail on to the egr valve, and the green vac line on...

    Need engine part identified

    Got her all back together, but have one issue. she lopes like it has a cam at idle, smells like sulfur at the exhaust, and is throwing a PO402 code. I know I crinkled up the egr valve gasket a little, but wonder if that could cause that code? other than that, everything went smooth.

    Need engine part identified

    Well, in my quest to see where the crossover pipe seals failed, I didn't notice what caused them to fail. :( Went back out to start cleaning parts and that's when I noticed the plastic lips were cracked on the manifold itself. (see attached pics). Just can't catch a break sometimes. Looks like a...

    Need engine part identified

    The intake manifold is plastic, but my crossover pipe is aluminum. On my 1999 250 super-duty, with the same motor, the crossover and manifold is one aluminum piece.

    Need engine part identified

    Finally got the manifold out and the crossover pipe removed. Both sides had failed, but only the one side was leaking bad. Evidently someone who owned the expy before me had put some stop leak in the system before. You can see the traces of brown where it had been leaking for some time. Gonna...

    Need engine part identified

    Wow, this isnt going to be quick or easy as I had hoped. One bolt on each side holding the crossover on is unaccessable. Going to have to take everything off the top of the intake manifold and remove it to get the crossover off.

    Need engine part identified

    Those pics are PERFECT! They still wont be fun to get at, but at least now I can see what I'm up against. Hope to have the two seals before lunch tomorrow, and get to work on it.

    Need engine part identified

    Maybe this new pic will help a little. The crossover is leaking on the backside of the left side where it attaches to the plastic intake manifold. I circled the area in red. After a few lengthy phone calls I found out the part is called a water crossover. there is an o-ring at the connection on...

    Need engine part identified

    2000 Expedition with 5.4L Been having a very slow coolant leak that I couldn't find till this morning when it started steadily dripping while running. Bad part is I have no idea what this part is called so I can get a gasket, o-ring or whatever it needs to be fixed. I attached a photo of the...

    Tranny cooler

    Long story short, my 2000 expy does not have a tranny cooler, and I would like to add one. Never installed one of these so I'm looking for some expertise on what size and type to use that I can buy new at any local auto parts store as a kit. I dont do any heavy hauling, but I do tow my boat...

    vacuum leak

    After a LOT more reading and research I MAY need to put new o-rings on the back of the EATC. Problem is, the thread I found on the subject is old and the picture links no longer work. Does anyone have any pictures of the back of an EATC and the o-rings that need to be replaced?

    vacuum leak

    Started having issues with my dash vents defaulting back to the defrost vent on long uphill runs so I decided to try to find where the leak was coming from. Traced it to the small hardline that goes through the firewall into the cab. Was hoping for an easy fix, but once I dropped the glove box...

    will regular mercon cause shudder?

    My expy had a bad shudder appear about a month or so ago during the 3-4 change, and at converter lockup. Changed tranny filter and filled her up with merconV. Shifts like a new tranny now. Mine is a 4R100 btw. Pretty sure merconV is also recommended for the 4R70W, but I will leave that to the...

    which fluid to use?

    Ended up going to multiple stores and bought 18 quart bottles of the same brand of merconV, and a new filter. Was happy to find out the fluid had been changed at least once before because the dipstick plug wasnt in the pan. Was also happy to find nothing more than a little sludge on the magnet...
