    AutoZone brakes

    I believe most of the time, the old adage that you get what you pay for. Being their gold they should have better braking than their silver or basic pads. Personally, I have used them in the past and never had a issue of their fault. That being said, most problems are from installations of pads...

    00 XLT RWD pulls to the right

    First, I would rotate/switch the two front tires temporarily, to eliminate the tires being the cause. You can do this temporarily, even if they are directional tires for testing purposes. If they are new and the problem, you may be able to exchange them at no cost to you. Eliminate the easiest...

    Longest-lasting vehicles: SUVs are way ahead - Expedition Unstoppable

    They did not have to tell me this. I already suspected it! If you’re looking for a reliable vehicle for the long haul, a big, sturdy SUV is hard to beat. Full-sized utilities account for half of the 14 longest-lasting cars – those most likely to pass 200,000 miles – according to auto research...

    Can a fuel pump go bad after Expedition sitting for 6 months?

    Sometimes, I have found that beating on the tank can get pump going temporarily. When replacing it, draining the tank, before dropping it, can make things easier and safer also.

    Third brake light replace bulb to LED

    OK, the old cracked, faded and melted light. Removed lens, sockets are still serviceable, so no need to replace harness as it would require accessing the connection by removing upper inside door trim as far as I can tell. I put dielectric grease in socket before inserting 3 new 194 red led...

    Tune Up - 1998 Exped XLT 4WD

    Anne, Find out what is causing the engine to run rough. Could be as simple as a dirty air filter. Take the Expy to your local Auto Zone, Advance Auto, Car Quest or equivalent in your area. They should be able to read the codes to pinpoint your issue and what action to take.

    Hey Patrick or Craig. I really like the look of your third brake lights with the lights all the way across the lens. :happy107: I would like to obtain one like them in black and smoke lens for my black 2000 Sport Expo. Couple questions I have. 1) Does the lens set up higher in relation to the...

    Third brake light replace bulb to LED

    Another option is obtaining an aftermarket LED third brake light as others on this thread have. They vary on the number of LED's in them as well as lens colors of red, clear and smoke and chrome and black trim. Reason being as long as you have one good socket for bulb on end of your original...

    Third brake light replace bulb to LED

    Thanks Dick to offer the harness. The assembly I purchased has them included. Maybe someone here can use them. After researching, I bought several 194 Superbright LED pictured in my earlier post in red, white and green. Going to try out extras in other locations. Once installed will post results.

    Third brake light replace bulb to LED

    Thanks. Superbright leds.com confirmed 912 bulb. They recommend 194 LED in red at $2.95 each. I guess the socket ends of 194 are the same as a 912 bulb. 912 has the same T5 wedge base as a 921. Wattage and amperage differ.

    hood lifts not strong enough....help

    OK, thanks. I knew it wasn't steel as the magnet didn't stick. Should of known it was metal though. I am going to try the stronger strong arms. Let you know how it works out.

    The struts are made by Strong Arm. Just don't want to need strong arms to close the hood. :D

    hood lifts not strong enough....help

    Will the hood struts for the steel hood work on the fiberglass hood or will they be too strong? They seem to be the same size but are half the price of struts for fiberglass hood at Avance Auto Parts. Thanks
