    new here and have questions

    doehunter, if you are getting the P0171 and P0174 codes (both at the same time), I want you to check something. Look on the passenger side valve cover. You will see the PCV valve there. Follow the plastic line that runs off the top of the PCV valve and follow it to where it taps into the back...

    What Sets Your Expedition Apart From Others?

    Gee, with my truck, I think the easier question is what doesn't make my truck stand out. I am the only one I know of running neon green pin striping, I have a lot of color matching done on the truck (cowl, rear corners between the side vent windows and the rear glass, access handle for the rear...

    Bypass for a chipped key

    What most guys do is to simply take a key that is programmed to the truck, open up the black plastic portion of the key and remove the glass cylinder that is inside of the key. Then you can open up the steering column and tape the glass cylinder to the top of the key tumbler and be all done...

    1st Gen (2000) Expy XLT 4WD Standard Suspension Spring Rate

    What are you attempting to do? that may help us figure out a solution for you. Also, the front doesn't necessarily have a "spring rate". torsion bars have a different rating (pounds/degree). I would have to do some looking, but if you truely need the numbers, I am sure they are available...

    Who off roads a Expy?

    I off-road Nukie. With the 37's, who needs a locker. Hell, I leave the truck in 2WD most of the time just to make it challenging. Now, I do have the limited slip rear, so, that does help. The only time I really think about 4x4 is when I am looking at sand. So, I have not seen a need for a...

    97 expedition mirrors

    May want to do some looking. But, if they fit F-150's, they are going to fit on your Expy. The regular cab F-150's use the same mirrors as the Expy. the only thing that I will caution you on though is that the early Expy's had a few quirks about them that they had slightly different things...

    Trading My expy

    If she is interested in an Expy that will definitely get her through the winters in your area, let me know. Nukie is for sale. For a 97 probably not the cheapest thing out there, but at the same time, not many are fixed up like Nukie either.

    Door Switch Harness Plug Part #?

    Scott, not to be the bringer of bad news, but odds are, if you are going to get a new plug for the switch, you are going to end up getting all new harnesses for all 4 doors (assuming he did this to all 4 doors). You can not buy just a plug with some pig tails on it. Not even straight through...

    These fans any good or are they trash?

    NC, before you buy them, ask if they are 1840 cfm each, or is that a total CFM pull. You are wanting atleast 3,000 cfm with the fans running. Less than that and you can have issues with overheating when it stop and go traffic. Now you will just need a good controller (or two) for them. Stay...

    shock question

    sinfulrides, if the shock has the coil on it, yes, it will cause the rear of the truck to sit a little higher. Also, keep in mind that because you are adding those shocks, you are also effectively raising the spring rate in the rear of the truck. What you are going to experience is more bumps...

    difference in motors

    Angel, the motor internals are identical. The only difference is the amount of boost.

    Need Help FAST!!

    Yes, you will have to either remove the fan shroud or notch the shroud. This is one of the "issues" with a body lift. You can try remounting the shroud, but that may prove to be a little more interesting than you think. Personally, I would say to invest some money into an E-fan kit and...

    Aftermarket Hood

    Yes, a 2002 F-150 hood will fit on your Expy. On the flip side, a 2003 F-150 hood will fit on your 2002 Expy, but not on a 2003 Expy.

    '01 trying to max mpg

    Shadowless, if you are needing a truck to get through downtown NYC, let me know. I'm sure my truck would do wonders down there. It is for sale. I have been asked when I hit bumps what they were. I normally respond "Rabbit, VW Rabbit".

    '01 trying to max mpg

    Andrew, the big thing that is going to affect your mileage is your right foot. To maximize mileage, you should not drive the truck at a constant speed with an engine RPM over 2200 RPM. Kinda like, if you are accelerating, try to position your foot so the RPMs come up to about 2500 and then the...

    flowmaster dual kit

    silverback, choosing a muffler is kinda like asking what your favorite color is. Everyone has a different opinion on what is good better best. Having all 4 cats still installed is going to open up your options as you can go with a slightly freer flowing muffler since your cats are going to...

    No Brake Light, Turn Signals, Or Flashers

    jbrunsvig, replace your multifunction stalk. That is a common problem with our trucks and based on your indications, that is what is causing your problems. Not to ask a silly question, but do you raise and lower your steering column a lot. If so, you may need to modify the wiring harness that...

    Winch electrical connection

    Chibrew, you can tie strap them to the hoses. The only things I will caution you on is to make sure that the cables will not rub against any high spot in the hoses (where 2 may meet or on a support bracket) as this will more than likely cause the cables to ground to the body of the truck and...

    Electrical issue with dash indicators and shifting?

    WECole, what you are seeing is the power being cycled the Tranny computer. This is causing the system to go through a reboot to estabilish a baseline of where it needs to be. When I had this problem, it would occur every time I would shift the truck into Reverse. In my case, it turned out the...

    my turn... no electrical power

    Walnuts, keep in mind that the PATS system does not turn off in the truck. It is always sucking a little bit off of the battery (same with the GEM module). if you do not drive the truck for a month or so, that little bit of draw adds up and it will be enough to kill a battery. Just something...
