    Fun with brakes

    Finally got around to installing the new line. 20 minutes worth of work. I used the old clips to sort of secure the new line to the cross beam. I used the 60 inch line on the drivers side caliper. Just carefully fed the line over the gas tank and gas tank hoses/wiring. Threaded the...

    Fun with brakes

    So from another site I was able to get some part numbers to build the rear left to right line. I picked these up at Advanced Auto. Please note that PA (used to be PAX) in the part numbers is the American (standard size) . PAE is the European (metric) 1 pc PA-360 (60 inch brake tube) 1 pc...

    Fun with brakes

    I have the same issue right now. Thought it was the rubber hose but turns out it's the steel line. It appears that there are two steel lines. One coming to the caliper and what appears to be a return. I will post my findings as I take everything apart.

    Fan shroud mounting hardware

    Fan shroud mounting hardware

    Replaced my water pump and AC compressor and lost the bolts for the fan shroud. Anyone know what size bolts so that I can just run to Home Depot and pick something up. 1997 XLT 4.6 4x4

    I found these chunks in the motor, can anyone tell me what they used to be?

    Plastic pieces There is a plastic plate under the intake manifold. It becomes brittle over time and disintegrates like that. I know because I had to replace the heater tube that goes into the intake manifold and in order to do that job you have to remove the entire intake assembly. Didn't...

    Rear lower trailing arms not lining up

    Trailing Arms You will have to use ratchet straps or a come along to pull the axle back. I actually used ratchet straps to hold the axle in place before removing the trailing arms and only did one at a time.

    99 Expedition Problem #1

    I can't help with the part number right now. I have the service manual at home for 97 - 2001 Ford Trucks. Will send a note to you on Friday when I get home. If you get the size of the bolt you can order something similar from Fastenal. Cheaper than the stealership.

    99 4WD 5.4L Eddie Bauer siezed engine?

    a/c pulley locked up I had something similar happen after driving 1400 miles. Next morning got in and the truck made a small attempt at turning over. Took the serpetine belt off, turned the key and she started right up. My a/c pulley have seized. Easier to pull the belt than it is to pull...

    Stumbles when it is wet/raining...

    radio noise suppressor is a possibility. There are two, one on either side of the front of the engine. It rusts out and causes stumbling when they get wet. Hope this helps

    Another rear trailing arms thread

    Tell me about it Bad Ronald. When I got the drivers side out with little problem and all the nuts came off easy, I thought I was home scott free. I guess I can't complain, she is a 97 with 189k miles all in CT.

    Another rear trailing arms thread

    No problems jacking up the tank. Went extra slow though. The fear was cracking or puncturing the tank. Jacked up enough to slide the bolt out. Doesn't have to be jacked up much just make sure the jack is not in the way of the bolt. Don't ask how I know... Fastenal did not have the bolts...

    Another rear trailing arms thread

    So couldn't find the lower front bolt anywhere locally. Decided to try something crazy. Used a jack to push up on the gas tank and it was enough to remove the bolt without cutting it. Finished the drivers side in less than 1/2 hour for upper and lower. 10 minutes to finish passenger side...

    Another rear trailing arms thread

    Thank you Splintrcel. I'll have to do that. I was living in Connecticut and 17 years of winters combined with CT being great at treating the roads have taken it's toll. Have replaced brake lines, tranny lines and now trailing arms. I guess not a lot considering no car payments.

    Another rear trailing arms thread

    Here's the deal: New England vehicle, now in Florida. Rear trailing arms need replacing, both uppers and lowers. Ordered and arriving tomorrow. I now need to order the bolts, washers and nuts as they did not have them with the kit. I know I can get them at Fastenal or Bolt Depot. Here's...

    Strange sound from engine

    Sounds like a/c compressor bearing. Mine sounded like that and would disappear after a minute or so after start up. Siezed up after 800 miles. Expy has 189k miles on her. I have decided to replace the entire compressor and water pump while I'm at it. Like everyone else has said, remove the...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Removed the fan shroud and mechanical fan. Installed a new water pump. Next is the a/c compressor along with associated components. Have decided to do the electric fan conversion. Need to also do the trailing arms.

    Update on my Satin Black Paint job and on the Zombie Response Unit!

    Survival, great looking Expy. I just moved to Orlando from Connecticut last year and just drove the "Black Widow" (97 Black XLT) down hauling a trailer with my bike and tools 2 weeks ago. She made it all the way down to Orlando, backed the trailer into the garage and died right there. Turns...

    Cylinder 4 misfire and events

    Just posting my experience. I had the same issue (97 4.6). Turned out to be a loose #4 plug. Tightened it and the problem went away. Several months later the problem returned. I could not figure it out. One day she started bucking hard and the CEL started blinking. Then steam came from...

    What did you do to your expedition today?

    Ordered a new a/c compressor and component kit. Moved to Florida and drove the Expy down from CT. She started making noise around New Jersey. Got me all the way home (24 hours) safe and sound. Backed my trailer carrying my motorcycle and tools into the garage and that's when the compressor...

    Intake coolant tube

    Thanks JeffNoel. I will definitely be careful. It's been cold here in CT so no progress. My garage is full of crap so I can't get her in there and work in a heated space. I do however need to get this done this week as the car that I am borrowing goes back to the owner next weekend.
