    CEL Code 1450, can't find the issue, help

    Thanks. I already had all of that info. I also have 3 10 hour workdays until I leave for my trip which is why I said that I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'll grab a new gas cap from the dealer first.

    CEL Code 1450, can't find the issue, help

    I have the P1450 code right now in my '01 4.6. No CEL, just stumbling on acceleration which I attributed to a bad COP until I had the codes run. COP is a 5 minute fix for me, but I'm not sure how to handle this one. This sucks because I have a trip to Chincoteague, VA this week (6 hours each...

    for those with a CCW, where do you keep your sidearm?

    Freeway, check out a Milt Sparks holster. I've carried a Milt Sparks Summer Special for years. I'm a abit of a gear whore and have tried everything from Unce Mike's basic nylon stuff up to custom leather gear. For IWB, I prefer Milt Sparks, hands down. For outside carry, Andy...

    fuel filter

    Easily done on your own. My 14 y/o daughter helped me with mine, just to have some dad time. The filter was $6 or $7 at Autozone and the tool was about the same. Pull the fuse for the fuel pump, disconnect the lines going to and from the filter and snap in the new one. Took me ten minutes...

    2001 Expedition push bar

    This may work... Click me for a good time. The problem is the fact that most of these police style bumpers are designed for 2WD trucks because police package SUVs rarely come in 4WD. PA State Police supervisors run Expeditions, but everyone I have seen is 2WD.

    Check Engine Light

    My '01 has CoPs. I changed the factory ones out with Accels last year and have had them go bad intermittently on me. Drove up to West Point last Friday (a little over 750 miles round trip). Truck ran beautifully on the way up. Had lunch with a few friends and when my buddy and I went to leave...

    New expedition owner

    Yep. That is the standard for locking them. Sorry, I should have mentioned that.

    New expedition owner

    Immediately after you hit the code, hit the 3/4 button. This will unlock the rest of the doors.

    If you want to try the Plasti-Dip, check out youtube for dipyourcar.com or go to their site. Very informative and lots of how-to videos.

    Tow ball equipment for 2001 Expedition, what to get?

    You need a hitch mount to fit the trailer you are pulling (keep the trailer level or near to level). I have a 3.5" drop on mine currently for the 2 horse trailer I pull. Since I went to 33s, I should probably get a 4.5".

    What's your GAS price in your town?

    $3.79 for regular here in southcentral PA. Made the mistake of filling up when my light went on. $94.01 (Because the damn numbers run so fast, you can't get it stop on the .00 anymore)

    What do you guys think about this?

    The bottom of the ad says that they are greasable, so I should be good to go. Thanks.

    What do you guys think about this?

    So, my Expy is closing in on 170,000 miles and I ran across this on Ebay. For the price, I'm thinking about just doing everything and having it all new. I would most likely get my local mechanic do it. Ebay Link, front suspension components Do any of you see anything that screams "don't...

    Need HELP with indash DVD

    Freeway, if you search YouTube for "Avic D3 bypass", you'll find several videos. I installed the 3200BT in my '01 last spring and used a YouTube video for the bypass using a relay. Took less than 5 minutes to do and it works great. The Pioneer units need that split second delay to be sure...

    2001 Expedition coil issue

    Coils are fairly easy to replace on my '01, although #8 can be a real PITA. My 12 year old son and I replaced plugs 1-4 a week ago. Just need to get 5-8 done here before too long. He has never worked on a vehicle before and I've never done plugs on the Expy. Took us a little over an hour...

    Questions on selling my 2003 Expy...

    In my experience, KBB is good for the dealer to post on the window of his vehicle so that he can boast about how he is selling it to you for "thousands under blue book!" Most of the time, KBB prices are pretty hopeful. Edmunds.com's True Market Value has proven alot more realistic for me...

    Pump stops before I'm full

    Around here, we have a convenience store chain called Sheetz that uses both a "Pump First" card and a "My Sheetz" card. They both allow you to swipe it at the pump and then pay inside when you are done. Most other places around here, particularly the truck stops, limit you to $75 on your card.

    Picked up some new tires

    I just put Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/70R17's on my '01. They don't rub and I think I could have gone up to the 285/75/17's with no issues as well.

    Need input!!

    Panda's right. I had this issue once or twice in the past year. The GEM (generic electronic module, IIRC) is getting wet. Each time it happened to me, I let the truck sit for a while and it dried out with no problems. Strangely, the past few months, we have had much more rainfall than...

    Tires

    I just had the Nitto Terra Grapplers put on my '01 yesterday. Did them in a 285/70 17. I've only put about a 100 miles on them, but I am loving them so far and they look great on the truck. The shop that put them on remarked about how straight they were. All four of them balanced almost...

    Look what I picked up today...

    '01 XLT here...no sunroof and no vent windows. I'd love to have the vents, but don't need the headaches (and leaks) of the sunroof.

    What should I call this thing?

    Mine is simply "the truck" or "Daddy's Truck" if my two littlest ones are around to tell you what it is, especially since our other vehicle is a Montana van. My wife doesn't mind calling it a truck because she says she hates the way it rides. "This thing rides like a truck." Duh!

    Sulphur smell from A/C?

    Disregard. I took a closer look at the battery. The negative terminal had some movement to it. Replaced the battery with a new Duralast Gold and the smell is gone.
