    21 miles to E my A**!!!!

    I must be one of the lucky ones, I can go to 0 for about an extra 10 miles or so. I dont like pushing it that far, but when $$ is hard to get at minimum wage, you squeeze out all you can.

    Shaking 99 XLT

    Even if it hasnt thrown a code yet, try and get it scanned at an auto parts store. You can get a basic OBDII scanner fairly cheap at Harbor Freight for $40ish.

    Incase anyone is new to brake pad replacement

    Neat video. One concern for safety would to be to put a jack stand under the axle and lift the jack to the frame as a back up support. That little jack could easily fall on its side if the weight shifts or the axle tube slide off the little pad on top of it. Other than that, great job having a...

    If the Expedition had the following engine options, which would you choose?

    Diesel is the only way to go. Sure the new smog laws are trying to get rid of them, but when it comes down to just efficiency and power.... you cant get much better than a Diesel. Plus with the options of using Bio-diesel or Waste Veggie Oil, or even Propane injection, you can get some very nice...

    '00 Expy vs. '03 Expy 4x4's, EB's towing/payload and ball joints

    The 2000 Expedtion will have a solid rear axle vs the 2003 having an independent rear axle. Both axles will have a 9.75" ring gear which is plenty strong. Both trucks will have the 260 HP 2v 5.4L engine. Even with a towing capacity of 6900 LBS, a car hauler will weigh in the neighborhood of 1500...

    Exhaust manifold leak

    I am planning on doing this job in the near future. Not only did some studs break off the engine, but the studs that hold the manifold to the y-pipe deteriorated. With the truck up in the air and supported. There is enough room to remove the wheel and have access through the wheel well. You can...

    Spark Plug Change on 3V motor

    Platinum plugs like yours do not have a large electrode like traditional copper core plugs, yours look fairly decent for their age. The gap on them looks a little bigger than .054" One trick you can do when replacing plugs on a 2v version is removing the fuel rail. Use the schrader valve to...

    So where to start?

    If you are planning to do any towing of a camper, or any trailer, get some air bag suspension in the back. The stock springs are weak and will look like a dog dragging its rear on the carpeting. I am only speculating on this, but since you have 6 children, I am sure you may be on a tight...

    Creaking sound from front drvers side wheel area.

    I have the same creak in my truck, it is the sway bar links that connect to the lower control arms are loose. It is a good idea to tighten or replace them.

    High rmps

    The newer Expedition are "throttle by wire" This means there is no longer a mechanical wire connecting your accelerator to your throttle body, it is controlled by electronics. This is a very similar situation to what Toyota is going through right now. Take it back to your Ford Dealership and...

    Cant figure it out ?????

    You "fixed" the arms? Please explain that a little better. How did you replace the bearings? They are a unit bearing and must be replaced as a whole. With everything you said you did, an alignment was not one thing you mentioned you did. Most likely your "fixed arms" and tie rod replacement...

    Another Expy owner

    Basics - 97 Expy EB edition of tan leather interior and maroon exterior. Purchased it with 113K on the odometer for $7000 in Jan 2006. I've had a trailer come off the hitch and smack the tailgate to leave a dent, replaced 3 coil packs, PVC hose, front brakes, had it broken into and had to...
