    99 EB - factory amp/sub with aftermarket HU?

    I have a double din head unit I want to put in my 99 EB, which currently has the 6 disc changer and factory amp/sub. Is there any way I can re-use the factory amp for the subwoofer? I definitely want to keep the sub box, and I have already replaced the blown stock 8" sub with a RF one. Would it...

    More head unit/navigation install questions

    I am starting the process of installing an Alpine INE-S920HD into my 99 EB, but I have a few questions. I've installed plenty of aftermarket head units before, but never one with navigation/DVD features. I've already got the speaker and power wires soldered up to the adapter harness, but I'm...

    Aftermarket head unit with factory amp/sub?

    I'm looking at installing a double din aftermarket head unit into my 99 EB, but I'm not sure what I will need to keep the stock amp and sub working. Is there an adapter harness I can buy that will allow me to use the pre-amp outputs on the new head unit?

    New tires installed

    I finally got around to getting some new tires today, after installing my daystar 2" rear coil spacers, and cranking the torsion bars up 1" in the front. The tires are 285/70/17 Thunderer M/T, E load range on navigator wheels.

    Overheating

    My 99 EB 5.4 overheated last night, and I'm not quite sure why. I just replaced the radiator, water pump, fan clutch, thermostat, and radiator hoses over the weekend, and it was driving fine all week until last night. I was driving down the highway doing about 60, and I noticed the temp gauge...

    Factory sub replaced

    So I managed to replace my blown factory subwoofer yesterday, using info I've found here and around the web. It wasn't too bad of a job, I spent about 3 hours on it. The hardest part was getting the third row seat out, and getting the rear plastic loose enough to get the sub box out. Instead of...

    Torsion bar lift, how much before CV problems?

    I'm considering doing a small torsion lift on my expy, but I've read about people having problems with CV boots tearing from the increased angle. How much can I raise the front end before this is a problem? I'm not looking for a huge lift, maybe an inch or two.

    Navigator wheels installed in my 99 EB

    Navigator wheels installed on my 99 EB So I found a good used set of 1st gen Navigator wheels at a local tire shop today, and since I really don't like the stock wheels (5 hole turbine style), I bought them and had them installed. Since I was going from 17" to 17", I was able to keep my tires...

    Valve cover gasket replacement

    I have finally traced the source of my oil leak, it's coming from the back of the passenger side valve cover. Has anyone replaced these gaskets before? I have replaced plenty of VC gaskets on other vehicles, but none were this hard to get at all of the bolts. I'm tempted to just pay a shop to do...

    Plug behind bumper on driver side?

    While working on my truck today, I noticed something unplugged behind the bumper on the driver side. There's a little white box it appears to plug into, does anyone know what this is?

    How can I find out what options my truck has?

    Does Ford put all of a vehicle's option codes somewhere on the vehicle? I'm used to GM vehicles, they put a sticker in the glove box or center console that has all of the vehicle's RPO codes. It would be nice to know what towing package, rear axle ratio, etc. that the truck is equipped with.

    Stumble/hesitation when taking off

    Well, I've discovered a new problem with my truck. I noticed when driving it today that it will stumble/hesitate when taking off from a stop sign, but only if I come to a stop and immediately try to go. If I wait a second, it takes off just fine. It idles smooth as butter, and the CEL is not on...

    Just bought a 99 EB Expedition

    Hi all, I just picked up a 99 Expedition Eddie Bauer, and I'm starting the process of fixing it up. It has 142K miles on it, runs and drives well, and so far only seems to need a few minor things. The air ride has already been replaced with coil springs, but it seems to either be sagging in the...
