    New (used) 2004 Expedition that has aftermarket keyfob and want to use factory.

    Hello, I purchased a 2004 Eddie Bauer that came with an aftermarket keyfob. I do not know the extent of what this keyfob does other than locking and unlocking truck. There is an antenna about rear view mirror. Keyfob has no markings as to brand, etc. I did look underneath dash and I see a...

    Just picked up 2004 Expedition.. Have questions about a few issues.

    Anyone know what this second picture is? It is located below drivers seat area. It appears to be a bracket but for what I do not know.

    Just picked up 2004 Expedition.. Have questions about a few issues.

    Here are some extra pics. Included is the rear glass with defrost cable. Took some pics of the rear spring on drivers side. I cant get over how clean it is under this car. It has 224,000 miles. Still has stickers on the frame.

    Its no big deal really. I just didn't know if you were coming unglued. As far as the fan, this is something that I have been researching and may do this. How are you able to get the computer to control this or do I need to use a manual fan switch? I am going to attempt to mess with...

    Just picked up 2004 Expedition.. Have questions about a few issues.

    I will take a couple pics later when my wife gets home. From what I saw, the cord is hanging down with the connection that is suppose to be connected to the glass. I do not believe I have the suspension because I looked in the side behind rear seat and looked into the opening that has a...

    Just picked up 2004 Expedition.. Have questions about a few issues.

    Whoa.. Settle down pal. It was just a question. The 2005 NBX that I owned averaged around 16-17 mpg. This 2004 that I have is getting around 14 mpg. It was just a question...

    Did you notice a difference in gas mileage when you lowered your pressure?

    Thanks for the reply. It does not have air in the rear. At least I didnt think so. I checked for the switch in rear and couldnt find it. I had to new tires installed yesterday. I cannot believe how much tires cost of them things. They had BFGoodrich Rugged Trail installed and I had...

    Just picked up 2004 Expedition.. Have questions about a few issues.

    Hello all.. I have been a member on here for a while but haven't had an Expedition. I became a member so I could find out what I needed to know before making a purchase. Today I picked up a 2004 Eddie Bauer. It has high miles but you would never know it. 220,000 to be exact. I got a...

    v10 swap into 2000 Eddie Bauer

    Would you throw in a set of cams or stick to the stock cams? I may consider putting either a lightning blower or kenne bell on this.

    v10 swap into 2000 Eddie Bauer

    Would you forget about the Patriot heads? I would hate to go to the trouble of rebuilding the bottom end and putting new rings in pistons without doing something with the heads. It would be a lot easier to do something at that point then to go back 6 months later to upgrade heads. 350 horse...

    v10 swap into 2000 Eddie Bauer

    I just found a Kenne Bell kit that was used on a Lightning. I assume its a complete kit and he is asking $1000 for it. That sounds like a reasonable deal. As far as a lightning engine goes, from what I have googled, it appears that there isnt any difference between a 99-03 5.4l and the...

    v10 swap into 2000 Eddie Bauer

    I have been thinking about what my best option should be. It has 92,000 miles on it and I think for resale purposes I shouldnt go with the v10. If it had 192,000 then I would be thinking differently. This leaves me to either the Navi motor or go with some hi flowing heads and cams for the...

    v10 swap into 2000 Eddie Bauer

    Thanks for the suggestions. nvycrmn, you are from Reed City? How long ago? I have lived here all my life. I am wondering if I should steer clear of this project then. I havent seen much information regarding this swap but it does sound interesting. My thought was to pull the engine and...

    v10 swap into 2000 Eddie Bauer

    I have been trying to search as much as possible regarding this swap but have come up with very limited information. I know many would say why but why not? I have the opportunity to purchase a 2000 Eddie with 92,000 miles. It has a bad engine. They want $1500. for it and its in very good...

    Engine choice for 98 Expedition Eddie Bauer

    I have not found any information regarding the exhaust when swapping over to a DOHC. I am unsure if the exhaust manifolds are the same between 2v and 4v. Also, I would imagine the mid pipe would need to be swapped from a navigator?

    Engine choice for 98 Expedition Eddie Bauer

    So it sounds like maybe I will stick with the idea of going to a 5.4 DOHC. I am debating if I should rebuild it or find a lower mileage one and drop it in. Anyone know of what the best bang for buck improvement I can do to a 5.4 DOHC while its out? I hear the dohc has less torque off the line...

    Engine choice for 98 Expedition Eddie Bauer

    I understand where you are coming from. That is why I was unsure as to what I should do. I would almost rather have a 5.4 dohc but again I wouldnt mind sticking with a 5.4 2v with a set of ported heads. Decisions Decisions Are Partriot heads as bad as what people claim?

    Engine choice for 98 Expedition Eddie Bauer

    I am looking at a 98 Expedition Eddie Bauer that is originally from Arizona. The Expy has 212k on it. The issue with the truck is a spark plug that came out and was repaired by owner. He is unsure how long the repair will last. I am able to pick it up for $1500. I am seriously considering...
