    It has nothing to do with your year 4.6. The 3V ('04+) is the engine with the plugs getting stuck. Anything earlier had the blow-out issue. '04+ had to do with the plug design used that caused the break off into the head. Previous to '03 is with the plug blowing out of the head taking the...

    No, no issues other than a little patience and multiple length extensions to get the rear out. The hardest part of the exchange was getting the boots off the plugs. But after getting the 45 degree pliers out, that became a easier task too. Over all it took me about 25-30 minutes to change all 8 out.

    Well on Saturday I went and got some AutoLite plugs and installed them. I decided against the E3's as I did not get any feedback on here on them. The old plugs seemed to be the original plugs. The new plugs worked out great on the road trip to my parents house yesterday. I achieved an increase...

    Whistling sound comming from under hood

    Have you added an aftermarket air intake cone filter in place of the stock air box? Those torpedo chrome cone filters from the auto parts stores make a whistling sound when the gas pedal is applied. It is created from the inner chrome torpedo head inside the tunnel of the filter.

    Surco 6ftx4ft Safari Rack

    This may be a stupid question, but I have seen that term used many times on here. What is a EL Expy? A trim package or a longer Expy or something?

    2 interior door lock knobs

    Here is a throw into the wind. Does anyone have 2 tan interior door lock knobs? I am missing 2 of them on the passenger side, one each door, and are universal for any specific door.

    coil spacers...

    The spacers for the F150 would be for the front and you would have to measure the center hole circumference to see if it would mount on the back of the Expy, and not only that but the overall diameter of the spacer to see if it will accept the rear Expy Spring. If the center hole is too small...

    About to do a complete tuneup before I head up to my Fathers house this X-Mas weekend. Question for you all, anyone using the E3 plugs in the 4.6? And if so any real difference for performance and economy as they are advertised? Or should I stick with the stock plugs?

    long wheel lugs

    The spacers are working as they were intended to do and that was to bring the rim out further away from the brake calipers. But to correct your statement on the lugs, the lugs are the same either stock lugs or the lugs used with the spacers, and that being said the lug nuts needed were the same...

    Ask Thermo

    Well I think that this is great for the most part. But to be honest, as I should be, and input should be given and I as a moderator on another site, and I have experience in these types of ideas. If you want members or users to forward their questions only to Thermo for instance, then you may...

    LED lights for mirrors

    Well everyone should do a stress test on the sheet metal. Just take a ball peen hammer and go around your vehicle and rap on the sheet metal, the sound should be the same all the way around the Expy, if you hear or notice a difference in one certain area, then time to replace that portion of the...

    I thought with giving more than $20.00 for supporting the site that we were to receive EF stickers to put on the Expy? Where are they? :bawl:

    The y-pipe is still up in the air on purchase as the exhaust shop I get my work done has made y's and the sort on many other vehicles in the past for me. So I am going next week to see how much for them to make it for me with 2 downward hi-flow cats. Then I will make the decision on how I am...

    LED lights for mirrors

    I thought the 1st gens came as a option with signal mirrors? The owner manual in mine says it did, and if that to be true, then why not get them from the JY? If yours is not equipped, then you still would have the wiring stuffed down in the door to hook them up.

    Guess what im finally getting?!

    For last few months I remember him stating in other threads of the 35's he is getting but then I see these instead of the 35's :shrug: Panda why would you need or want the spacers with those small tires? Seems liek a waste of money.

    I really want something like this for my truck

    One of the secrets I learned along time ago was if you want nice bends, fill the pipe up with sand before you start your bend, the sands does miracles when trying to bend piping without wringling or crushing a bend.

    I really want something like this for my truck

    Well, to save on money for labor, you could buy yourself a pipe bender from harbor freight and buy the piping and build it yourself and then find a welding shop to weld it together. http://www.harborfreight.com/12-ton-hydraulic-pipe-bender-32888.html
