    trouble shooting a bad coil pack (or more)...

    I bought a bluetooth dongle which can be had from $20 up to $100 depending on quality. Then I bought the TORQUE PRO app for Android. It is a code reader. It can also read PENDING CODES which often is how coil misfires start. It also has virtual gauges you can use. I actually have an old...

    Ignition Free Spin

    If the ignition just spins around, then it's faulty. If you pull it out you can see how it works with the key. It shouldn't just spin. With every neutral safety switch I've ever dealt with, it wouldn't even engage the starter. That's the point of it. It will only start in neutral or park...

    Block heater

    In previous winters we've had temps at 5 degrees F with windchill making it -10. At those temps, I'd start the truck and it would shut off after a few seconds. I'd do this 4 or 5 times until it would stay running on it's own. I try not to move until Engine temps hit 80F. Yesterday when I...

    Custom Or Aftermarket Seat Divider !!!!

    Mine has the seatbelt brackets like I said, and 4 screws in the bottom that basically just bite into the carpet. Mine is for prisoners, so I also have plexiglass wings on the side.

    Custom Or Aftermarket Seat Divider !!!!

    I do but I switched phones so many times this year, I'll have to look for them. I can also take some new ones. Any specific detail you want to see up close?

    30" Light Bar

    I had a buddy get pulled over for his 12 inch LED light bar. First the officer said it had to be covered. My friend should have let that go and took him to court. It only has to be covered (like KC lites) if it's above the head lights. His is on his push bar. So he told the cop that. He...

    Working on engine- what do you stand on?

    I'm 6'3" but I've always wanted one of those topside creepers. My driveway is slanted, so I park the truck with the front tires on the street to sort of "tip" the truck forward. I've also used ramps under the rear wheels to do the same thing. Not a HUGE difference, but it helps. My issue...

    I think my key lost it's programming, how do I get the truck started?

    Yep. Monday I plan to stop by and get another key cut. I guess I can put the road flare back in the garage. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

    extra key... oh yeah, I need one!

    I bought a cut transponder key from the dealer UNPROGRAMMED for $16. He even cut a blank that I had. So if it's for your third key that you can program yourself, thats one option. I didn't think it would be so cheap from the dealer.

    I think my key lost it's programming, how do I get the truck started?

    SHE LIVES! A buddy put me in touch with a Ford Technician. He borrowed the scanner from work and checked my system. The key I had wouldn't accept programming. Everything else with the system was fine. He had told me to get an unprogrammed PATS key from the dealer to have ready for him to...

    I think my key lost it's programming, how do I get the truck started?

    I'm not exactly sure what this is. I did pull the column plastics off and remove the lock cylinder. I cleaned the contacts on the lock,and inside the socket with an eraser,but they didn't look that dirty to begin with. I couldn't try to start it because the battery is low from sitting . I...

    I think my key lost it's programming, how do I get the truck started?

    I didn't get to do anything with this all weekend. I'll try this one tonight. Along with checking fuses and taking the column cover off to check out the transponder ring.

    50" Curved LED lightbar

    I wouldn't say it's a "cheap light option" unless it's the Chinese knock-offs. What about mounting it between the roof rack rails, down low, so it blends in? You could even put a light layer of window tint (or spray tint) on the lens so it's not as obvious for POLICE, yet will still produce...

    Trailing arm replacement.

    You do not have to drop the tank. use a grinder or saw and cut behind the bolt head. I could only get in a little bit, so I turned it and cut in from 4 sides. Then put the nut back on, and used a ratchet to snap the head off. Then I replaced it with a new bolt.

    99 Expo rear window mod

    Yeah, I believe it's because of the notch in the door for the rear wheel well. So in theory, a Suburban and an Excursion should both be able to go the whole way down.

    I think my key lost it's programming, how do I get the truck started?

    Thanks for the reply, I did leave the battery disconnected for 20 hours, I forgot to mention that. Also, mine is 2000, which I think needs 2 keys.

    I think my key lost it's programming, how do I get the truck started?

    Some more info that might help. I do have the door keypad, and the remote FOBs. Using those to lock and unlock hasn't had an effect. I also did the "turn key from off to run 8 times" which is how I programmed the remotes before. This is supposed to make the locks cycle so you know it's in...

    I think my key lost it's programming, how do I get the truck started?

    The motor cranks, but won't start. The THEFT light flashes rapidly with the key in the RUN position, and if left alone for a couple minutes, it flashes once, then pause, then 3 times. I read somewhere that means "Code 13" and that it means key failure. I have an aftermarket key from walmart...

    Is there a new source for coils (COPs) on the block?

    When I replaced the coils on my previous Expedition (98, 5.4L) the go to was the two sellers on ebay that charged $100 for 8 COPs with lifetime warranty. NOw I see a few sellers with the YELLOW body coils, 8 pack for $40. Is this a legit deal, or junk? EXAMPLE...
