    Where does the oil go?

    I have 1999 EB 5.4 with 207K miles. It "uses" oil, meaning I have to add oil between changes, sometimes up to 1.5 quarts. I keep hearing that my Expy is "using" oil, but not sure what that means. 1. The ground is clean under it - no drips, no nothing. 2. There is no smell of burning oil...

    Proactively Replace COP (Coils) ???

    I have a 99 Eddie Bauer with the 5.4 engine. It has 193k on the odometer. I will be taking it to the local Ford dealer (no comments / bashing please) to replace the spark plugs soon. Given that almost all of the CoPs on my truck are all original equipment (I replaced #5 last year), should I...

    Ground Clearance

    I have 1999 EB 4x4, and I was looking up the ground clearance specs, and it appears to be 7.5 inches, which is less than my wife's Subaru Outback... how can that be? Am I getting bad data? What is the ground clearance for the 4x4s?

    Clunk in Idle "Crawl"

    Today in carpool, I was creeping along in idle and notice a clunk (felt like once per revolution of something)... I felt it going straight and while making a slow turn. I do not notice anything with any sort of power, but perhaps it is happening so rapidly (many RPMs) that I don't notice it...

    Upgrade Front Diff

    Is there a way to put lockers in the front diff of a 99 Expy with the 5.4? Not trying to make a rock crawler, but trying to make it more sure footed off roading...

    Pulling From Snow

    Saw a Minivan was stuck in the snow today. Ended up pulling it out, my first rescue not in a Jeep. Question: I used 4wd Hi - it seemed do well, the rescue was a good one, but I was not sure if I should have used 4wd Lo and used less gas pedal. I did smell some rubber, assumed it was the...

    Charging Light under WOT

    1999 Eddie Bauer 5.4 with 136k on it. Under WOT, at about 4500 RPM, the charging light will come on. As soon as it shifts or drops RPMs it goes off. Any ideas???

    Suspension Replacement

    I have a 1999 Expedition Eddie Bauer 4x4 with 134,000 miles on it. The suspension is mostly original - I had a replace a couple of ball joints, etc. I am planning to replace the suspension with upgraded parts, but likely won't do a suspension lift (may do body lift). Was thinking about Energy...

    Overdrive / Gear Shift "Issue"

    While I was on travel, my wife somehow broke the end off of the gear selector (think where the smooth part of the black end piece meets the grooved part). She glued it back on (kids told on her... bus drivers. :) )... however, since then, the OD "OFF" has not worked. I push the button...

    ABS Light AND Error Codes - Need More Data

    All, My ABS light came on yesterday while in traffic. It was quite weird, dry pavement, not going very fast (15 mph or so, maybe less) and I started to break (some yahoo cut me off). I felt the brake pedal shudder (ABS engaging), came to a complete stop. As soon as I started moving...

    Tires are 12 years old :(

    I bought my 99 Expy used, and the tires looked brand new (all slicked up, etc.) and had almost 85% tread remaining on a set of Micheline MTX L/S tires (darn things are $230+ EACH)... I was ecstatic. NOW: I started noticing the rubber looked old, which I attributed the pollen, etc. around...

    To OD or not OD

    Got your attention :) I read a post the other day where Thermo stated that the "sweet spot" in the power band for the Expy is around 2000 rpms. During my commute, I have the occasion to be "cruising" at around 45 mph (about 1400 rpms in OD). Any time I have to accelerate, it is not quick...

    High Pitched Whine - Help Please

    All, I have a high pitched whine coming intermittently from the passenger side of the engine, near what appears to the evaporator. The truck is not currently malfunctioning in any way, so it makes it a little harder to troubleshoot. Also, when I turn on the defroster or A/C, the whine...

    1999 Eddie Bauer 4x4

    Thought I would I start a "build" thread - won't really be a build thread, but more of a here is what I did to my "new" truck. There is some duplication, as I sort of posted all over the forum in my initial exuberance... this is the link from the "General Discussion" section...

    Spark Plug Issue / Preventative

    All, Did some searching online, as well on this forum specifically, and it does not appear that Ford stepped up and did the right thing regarding the "spark plug ejection". Did I miss something? Was a recall issued, or was the class action suit settled? Also, has anyone preempted this...

    Newbie from North Georgia

    Just picked up a 1999 Eddie Bauer 4x4 with only 70K miles on it. Looking forward to enjoying my new truck. Is taking some getting used to, as I am coming out of a Fusion Hybrid (I know - my gas mileage MAY see a hit... :signs8: )... had a 2004 Expy, but it was a 4x2... I hope to be able to...

    1999 Eddie Bauer 4x4

    I am looking at a 1999 Eddie Bauer 4x4 with only 70K miles. Is there anything specific I should look for? The truck is a Georgia truck, so there is no rust on it, but I am not sure what else can go wrong. I have read on here about the transfer case, and that seemed OK - although it was hard...
