    03 Expy EB - Backup Aid and Mirror problem.

    No joke, I beat on all my sensors firmly with my hand or rubber hammer and they started working right again.

    tire pressure

    That would depend on the tire. Standard load tires are 35psi. You get into C rated and up and they will vary from 50# to 65#'s or more. I had Nitrogen put in mine last week and it seems to ride a little softer and won't vary on psi from season to season.

    06 XLT Towing

    I pull a 6800# dry camper and always run without the OD on. Unless you are on flat land running the cruise will work the engine and tranny to death. The computer will always be running full throttle to keep your programmed speed. I find it much better to "feather" the throttle. I like to gas it...

    What its worth

    6k ballpark. SUV's are dead right now with fuel prices high. But they are dropping in some areas. Thin rubber turns me off when buying unless I can realy steal the vehicle. I like turn key without new tire worries.

    Eddie Bauer vs. NBX

    The NBX comes only as a 4x4 with 17” wheels, skid plates, and specially tuned off-road shocks. The Eddie Bauer model is one of the more popular choices with buyers. It is equipped with dual-zone climate, power adjustable pedals, and heated side mirrors to name a few. The head honcho is the...

    Limited Slip or non-limited slip?

    I have a heavy duty Equal-i-zer hitch made by Lindon Hitch. It has solid steel bars instead of chains. It claims to equal four standard sway controls if using chain type hitching. It has almost zero sway during crosswinds and high speed big rigs as they blow by. I know if I upgraded to 8 or 10...

    rattle at start-up?

    Is a slight rattle that lasts for two seconds or so normal at start-up? 2003 5.4 with 50,000 miles, 5w30 Penzoil with Motorcraft filter. Fresh oil change did not help.

    Is this normal?

    I have paid big money for Michelins before and never got a pefect balance. It is possibe that you have had a wheel weight fly off. Just go to your local tire store and have them rebalanced. I recommend a type of balance called "Road Force" balance. This is a high tech machine that applies a...

    Front end hop

    Ditto on bad balance, try rotating tires and see what happens.

    Which tire pressure gives the best handling?

    I've been told to never exceed the max psi that is stamped on the sidewall. Heat from the road raises air pressure and could cause a blowout if tire is over inflated. I think my 18"'s call for 44#'s and I run 40#'s. If you over inflate the center of the tire will wear quicker, too low of...

    shitty gas milage

    I went from 11.5 city to 13.2 by getting rid of my K&N filter. And yes it was nearly new and not over oiled. It proves that K&N's only benefit some vehicles.

    Deactivating Keypad Locks

    I was told the same, factory code stays and only new ones can be added.

    shitty gas milage

    Funny you should ask I'm wondering the same. Our '03 4x4 5.4 373 gears@ 45000k gets 12 with 90% stop and go around town never getting over 50mph. Our trip to Bristol produced 19mpg. on cruise at 72 mph. Coming home using my foot gusting between 65 and 85 with an all around average of 75 mph it...
