    Newb question Re: 4x4

    Ok thanks. I am surprised though that a dealership would replace it for free with just a TSB rather than a full recall. Learn something new everyday. I will check out my 97 and see what I have.

    Newb question Re: 4x4

    What did that cost to have the dealer replace the front X? Was there something going wrong already with the original?

    what price did you pay for your expy?

    $750 Runs great! Had to replace tires, heater core and blend door along with some other work but mostly a great runner.

    New 2 me 1999 Ex 4x4

    I know that with Explorers there is a recommended 2" lift limit, or somewhere around there, with the torsion bars. Exceeding that places the axles at too extreme of an angle and it induces wear on the CV joints. I haven't read anything about this for the Expy's but I would think that the same...

    Towing lights not working

    There are 3 different circuits going to the trailer. Park, r turn, l turn. If none of them work, I would bet its a grounding issue. There is only one ground wire and they all use it.

    2000 XLT expedition rehabilitation thread

    When I unlock the doors with the remote the running board lights come on and also when I open a door. They do not come on with inside and turning on the dome light with the dimmer switch. They are not on with parking lights. My connectors are fastened to the truck frame and a wire runs to the...

    Overdrive light blinking sensor??

    Can't say on Expys but in Explorers the blinking OD light is an indication of impending transmission troubles. Better get it checked before it's too late. Edit- This is from the owners manual of a 97

    1999 EB 5.4 4x4 weird issues

    Prior owner may have done that for gas mileage.... who knows. Glad you got it sorted though. At least that transfer case shouldn't give you any issues!

    fog light wires

    Yea I had to do that to unlock the assembly when removing the cluster. I figure its a switch as well though. Will have to check for an extra set of contacts in there sometime. Thanks

    You need to pull the codes. Anything else is just guess work.

    fog light wires

    When the lights are on, the light switch pulls out a bit. Is that how the fog lights are turned on? I have the XLT package but no fogs either. Also, is the wiring there for the overhead console ya think?

    Stuck bolt on throttle position sensor

    Something like THIS might help you too I have also had success sometimes cutting a nice slot in the head of the screw to fit a large straight blade screwdriver that I can put vice grips on the shaft for extra twisting power. Thats after the phillips has been ruined. I am not sure how fragile a...

    EGR valve

    As a follow up..... I ordered and received these hoses. They are a bit thinner wall than stock but they fit just fine. I had to cut a couple inches off. The price was definitely right! (around $10 delivered)

    My 97

    Thanks for the link. The best I found was rated ~ 000 and A ~ about 1.5 hours away for $300. The southern one I was talking about was about 40 minutes away for the same price and they get them regularly there. That's their business. I will keep looking though.

    1999 EB 5.4 4x4 weird issues

    Since gears can be changed and thus ratios, I wouldn't trust any markings anyway. Doing the rotation is the best way. then you know what you have.
