    Supercharging my 05' 5.4L 3V

    Whipple, Edelbrock and Rousch supercharger kits available for 3V 5.4? Not a lot of stuff available for 3V 5.4 compared to 2V. Still looking for SS shorty headers. Only one made, I think. A Gibson. But some confusion, because the F150 is mostly mentioned in catalogs relating to 3V engine...

    rear wiper slow or stuck

    Rear wiper slow or stuck. What he says. Good advice. Moisture seeps through that "O" ring. White metal housing that wiper shaft goes through swells up with corrosion, seizing the shaft. Ford probably didn't put adequate lubrication from new. Bronze bushing is usually OK. After removing...

    Roof Rails Care

    The roof rails on my '05 are plastic. So I'm thinking all future racks remained plastic. I swapped them out for the aluminum sliding rail system of the '97-'02 and '03-'04. The mounting holes in the roof are the same spacing for both. I did this because I have all the roof rack gear for the...

    Cargo area cover?

    I still have the cargo shade that came with my old '84 Z28. Alot of hatchbacks in the 80's could be ordered with one. When not retracted, you pulled it back til it attached to the rear window/hatch. There was enough of the shade so that it would pull open with the hatch. When you didn't need it...

    2V or 3V

    That looks like a 2 valve 2nd gen. Lots more speed equipment for 2V's, but it would be nice to have a supercharger available for the 3V. I know they have a few, Edelbrock, Rousch and Whipple, for 3V, 4.6 Mustang.

    Transmission cooler line to radiator disconnect tool

    It's scary to think that you can ruin a $3000 transmission by driving down the road unaware that your cheaply made transmission plumbing has sprung pinhole leaks, losing your transmission fluid. Luckily, this didn't happen to me. Caught it in time. In this environment here in the North East...

    Not ANOTHER Engine Noise Thread

    If you haven't reached a certain mileage level yet, I think 125K, Ford's got a warranty on faulty phasers damaging engines. Check into that. I have that bulletin that came with my '05 when I bought it in '12, but have no noise@70K, knock on wood. If I didn't have the protection of that...

    Transmission cooler line to radiator disconnect tool

    Mac Tool# TD960, two piece for 3/8" and 1/2" lines OTC Ford# 307-441, two piece for 3/8" and 1/2" lines Like phone chargers have been, there are tons of quick disconnect tools out there.These are two I found that will work. They are both plastic. There may be other types out there. They...

    Intake

    Not the intake. I was talking about Solisimo's old post not recommending shorties- exhaust headers. Unless you have an oxy-acetylene torch and a few extra hands, no way to remove exhaust manifolds and install any kind of header on a ten year old Expy in 15 minutes. Don't think you meant that...

    Transmission cooler line to radiator disconnect tool

    I have the problem on my '05 Expedition of not being able to pull the rusted and leaking transmission cooler line from the radiator. I need a tool for 3/8 dia. line. I have a ton of them. An assorted kit from Mac Tools and a set of plastic ones from OCT. Problem is that there is not enough room...

    How does the Expedition fair against rust?

    Yeah, forgot to mention that I had my '97 on the outer beach alot for the first five years that I owned it, living back on Long Island. It rarely came in contact with the salt water. I used to wash the undercarriage when I got home. The beach use probably helped to disintegrate the stamped rear...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Well, like I just complained in another thread, found pinhole leaks in the rusted out elbow of the transmission cooler return line coming out of the radiator. For some reason it's hard to find the rigid/flexible hose assembly going all the way down to the side of the trans for an '05 when...

    How does the Expedition fair against rust?

    I had a '97 and the motor/trans outlasted the body @ 225K. I'm in upstate NY so that didn't help. You have to look at rockers and center door pillar. Driver floor up behind peddles had to be patched on mine. I've got a 2005 now, with the radiator support and bubbling tailgate issue. What's more...

    Sticky worthy??? Quick fix for rear wiper motor turning but not moving wiper arm

    Maybe you guys in warmer climates don't need them, but they're essential up here. This is a fix for 1rst gen. 2nd gen's have their own problem. My '05's pivot bearing is seized. Motor's fine, but need to find better bearings when I see this thing apart. My 1rst gen '97 never had a rear wiper...

    bubbling paint on liftgate?

    Don't know if it's worth the aggravation for me to bother with Ford. Sort of like the 3 piece spark plug issue. Real stupid flaws on an otherwise great truck. I've got the bubbling tailgate problem on my '05. In the northeast where I live, I can walk up to 7 out of 10, 2nd gen's and they will...

    Snow Tire Recommendation

    Bridgestone Blizzaks, hands down. Trick is to run them on a set of dedicated wheels, at least -1 from what would be your other spring/summer wheels. I would run them on the stock 17's and the other road tires on 20's. Less chance of ruining low profile wheel/tire combos with winter potholes...

    Which one of you guys is this?

    I would have done the lower cladding and over the wheel arches in Camo.:yucky: Chip Foose, eat your heart out.

    Diesel swap

    There is actually a Ford diesel that was made for the Expedition and F150. You can thank marketing- the suits and bean counters, for not making it reality. That engine is a 4.4liter turbodiesel V8. It could be found currently as an option in Range Rovers over in Europe. Ford thought it too...

    ABS light is on

    I stand corrected. I had both. 3sensor information was for '97-2002 1rst gen. I now have '05 with same ABS issue. 2 in front and on newer IRS, 2 in back.

    ABS light is on

    Test sensors. One at each front wheel and one at rear differential. Test procedures at YouTube. And welcome to the forum!

    2003 Expedition XLT auction project

    Yeah, if you don't have rear controls for heat/a.c. located somewhere because of the console delete, that's the only electronics in my console besides two accessory plugs in the front and one in the back. So if the truck was a basic model w/o rear a.c./heat, bolt the factory console in that you...

    Turn signal mirror insert revisited

    I got just the puddle light. Black plastic's around it and not the amber turn signal. I thought I read somewhere here that you can buy the amber turn signal insert which will already have the puddle light in the middle and just swap it with the black plastic/puddle light blank at the bottom of...

    Hey Guys, need help...........

    What sgtowing said. But with air compressors and such going bad, I think you should go with the coil overs, especially at that high mileage. Just isn't worth the cost. If you really want to see this type of opinion, you should go over to the Range Rover forums. Everyone there will say the...
