    Ford make aluminum wheels 1st gens?

    Make your rim/hub mating surface is clean. A little rust or corrosion will make the wheel wobble.

    Should I change my transmission fluid?

    It's a real messy job. You need something twice as big as the pan, to catch the fluid. I am sure there is stuff available, but I don't know of a pan that large. The transmission takes about 7 quarts of synthetic fluid, after dropping the pan. It's not cheap. That leaves 6 qts of dirty fluid in...

    3.31 vs 3.73 gear ratio

    I swapped the factory, pathetic 3.08 gears on my 1993 5.0l Mustang to 3.55. It was around 1400 rpm @60mph with originals and went up to 1800rpm with the 3.55. It really woke the car up 0-40mph. Fords make good power in the mid band. I was recommended the 3.73 and they would been fine. Some say...

    Cold start rattle in the turbo

    3.31 vs 3.73 gear ratio

    Dealerships lie, do your homework. I once was told by a salesman, they 'located' a vehicle, two states away. They wanted me to have it swapped to my state(for $150). I found one, 6 miles away, at a local competitor, on the lot. The payment for exact vehicle, was also, $20/a month less. Remember...

    Cold start rattle in the turbo

    I want to drive the d I want to drive the GMC Yukon diesel and been looking for a low mileage 2017 or newer Escalade. I also want to drive the 450hp Navigator. My current Expedition only has 110K miles. It is in good condition and it has so many new parts, it's a shame to change. However, I...

    Cold start rattle in the turbo

    I am pretty sure the phasers on 5.0l Mustang are torque actuated and have little to no problems. Most of these are run pretty hard. The V6 Truck/SUV phaser are hydraulic. I am not sure why Ford would have two designs. I am guessing, it has something to do with towing vs high performance. My last...

    Tuning the ecoboost

    The 2011-2014 Mustang GT are notorious for not passing smog, when tuned. I am dealing with this now. When plugged into DMV computer, show two inspection monitors 'not ready'. The HEGO, O2 and O2 heater are the offenders. They are tied into the LTFT(long term fuel trim). Socialist, NY State...

    Coolant flow restrictor

    The previous owner of my old 99 Town Car, had put a new intake on it. I could hear water sloshing, under the dash. The temp gauge seemed too low. The heat worked, but not that great. The coolant level was at full mark. After I added coolant into the crossover, the noise stopped, the gauge went...

    Coolant flow restrictor

    I had a Town Car do this. How is your heat and temp gauge? Are both low? Mine were and it had air in the system. I found a plug near the crossover on the intake. I removed it and saw there was no coolant in the tube. I only added a small amount and filled to the top. Your vehicle has a different...

    Bought a 2000 Expedition 4x4 within about a minute...now i'm nervous!

    A low mileage, rust free 1st gen would be a score. Check Florida or Texas. They sold a ton of them and still many on the road. They sell cheap.

    Short oil life?

    I have ran pads down. I then had caliper pistons that drag or don't release,with the new pads. In the northeast corrosion is a problem. If the exposed part of the steel piston, gets any roughness they drag. I have replaced both front calipers twice and both rears. Ford uses phenolic pistons on...

    Bumper

    I changed my 2000's front bumper. I went from a chipped up painted, to a chrome one. The whole assembly, has 8 bolts attached direct to the frame rails. The actual chrome bumper had a top cover, lower valence and a fog light panel. The 97-98 were all chrome. I am pretty sure, the bumpers are...

    How to install a real oil pressure gauge in a 5.4 (with pictures)

    Here's my gauge install. You can see my battery is 12.1V and needed to be back on the battery maintainer.

    How to install a real oil pressure gauge in a 5.4 (with pictures)

    They make a gauge pod for the A pillar of the F-150. I installed a oil pressure and volt gauge on my zero turn tractor. It runs about 28psi idle and 40psi while using. The volt gauge is nice for checking the battery.

    01 ford Expedition XLT 4x4 rear left caliper

    I had the same issues, with both sides. Both had sticking pistons. Ford used steel pistons on this model. The slightest bit of rust, they don't release. The only fix is replacing. The second issue was the emergency brake. The cables and brake shoes rust and don't release. The 'drum in hat' rotor...

    Cold start rattle in the turbo

    Take it to the dealer. Why are you messing around 'unplugging'? The wategate relieves excess pressure. It seems to me, an bad wastegate would set a code.

    Oil Level Gauge on 2019 Expy

    Any ford Any forced induction engine is hard on oil. The compressed air gets heated and absorbs moisture. The engine on boost uses more fuel. The extra fuel, compressed air and moisture create blow by. The oil gets contaminated with fuel and moisture, through the pcv. The oil goes through the...

    Oil Level Gauge on 2019 Expy

    Excuse me, do the 2019s have a 'oil level' gauge? It's not a bad idea, something like fuel gauge or is the OP looking at his Ford fake 'oil pressure' gauge.
