    5.4 Triton engine = ???

    I pooped today. In a thread full of random, nonsensical comments leading nowhere and spiraling into obscurity, why can't I contribute to its demise?

    New solution for reverse lights now with pics

    This is my first vehicle with a back up camera. Growing up we plowed snow, had to use mirrors. Used heavy equipment for snow removal during the winter, had to use mirrors. Learned how to drive heavy truck on a 1974 Mack with a 200 Cummins and 16 speed twin stick with manual steering, had to...

    Rear differential swap

    Someone said the new Navigators come with 4.10 LS rears. Also the SSV Expeditions are 3.73 LS according to those with mo knowledge than me. If you aren't 4wd it makes life easy, you don't have to match gears for the front diff.

    Rear differential swap

    Another Expedition or a Navigator which is IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) The F150 is a live axle (straight/full length axle) and would not fit without serious modification to the rear suspension.

    Rear differential swap

    Swapping the carrier is the very difficult. This involves dissasembling the entire rear differential (removing axles stubs, removing cover, removing the carrier, removing the bearing mounts, removing pinion gear and assembley) then applying the differential of your choice and gears of your...

    Rear differential swap

    Its way less of a pain to swap the entire rear axle out for a junkyard unit if you are doing it yourself. You can swap it yourself but its not a simple job. If you are going to pay someone, less work to have them swap the carrier out. This will also give you options to change gears to ones you...

    what's the best tires?

    For a little more aggresive and better looking, try the Hankook Dynapro ATM. Ran them on the wife's exploder with no issues and see several Expys around here with them

    F150 trailer brake controler in Expedition

    Edit: Answered my own question. The OEM Ford trailer brake controler is integrated into the stock computer, the master cylinder and the dash display. Soooooo its a no go. Looks like it will be a custom install of an aftermarket tbc. I like the look of the built-into-dash trailer brake...

    cool story bro...(share it with us)

    We made our own to go on the 4wheeler back in the day. Couple pieces of angle iron, some heavy gauge sheetmetal a couple bolts and a welder. Used the winch to raise it up and down. For simple purposes like plowing just your driveway a manual "up" lock would work fine.

    New reverse light solution with pics

    The picture of the light spread against the house is a little bit misleading; my driveway slopes up to the house hence the splash directly behind the truck. To be honest I never thought about utilizing the puddle lights, thats a pretty good idea. I imagine you would have to add a relay from...

    New reverse light solution with pics

    Thats what I plan on doing to the wife's Exploder. I did similiar on my old Dodge pickup, but wasn't worried about aesthetics with that old hunk of iron. My brother is about the add those lights into the bumper of his 04 Cummins for plowing.

    New reverse light solution with pics

    I tried that and was still unimpressed with the illumination. The other issue with high mounted reverse lights that are extremely bright is if you are backing up with a trailer using your mirrors the glare off of the trailer can be blinding. Thats why I wanted to go as low mounted as possible.

    New reverse light solution with pics

    Cross posted for expanded distribution I like to see where I am going, especially at night. Its an understatement to say the factory reverse lights leave alot to be desired. I wanted more light, but I prefer subtle looking. I didn't want to hack holes into my bumper, I can't stand lights that...

    Thank you. Someone makes LED mudflaps but they were expensive and not vehicle specific.
