    My 97 5.4L XLT

    Well I was going to start a new thread but I decided against it. Anyways, long story short, selling the Expy today and picking up a 2008 FX4 super crew (I felt I got a really good deal on it.) I'll try to post a picture of it when I get her home. My wife and I were both sad to see the expy go...

    Possible slipping

    Mine is started doing the exact same thing about a month ago. Taking OD off it feels fine. I mainly notice it keeping the speed limit as you described (in OD letting off the gas then just giving it a little bit). I took it to the garage and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. I was told...

    Which spacers are better?

    I too have the 3" Billet Aluminum ones. As a side note from experience, once I installed the spacers I NEEDED shocks. Mine was the original '97 shocks and it made the ride "unforgivable" over even small bumps.

    Transmission Jerking Hard

    I think mine just did this over the weekend. It didn't jerk hard though. At first I thought it was a miss but I tramped the gas and it took off and no jerk or hesitation. But I noticed going uphill slightly if I just keep it under 1500 rpm it will give a little jerk. Only does it once in a while...

    1st Gen Rear Axle close to Pennsylvania

    Hmmm... I had taken it to the garage that works on my expy when I can't (I didn't have the time or garage to tackle this myself.) He had ordered a "different" / "larger?" bearing for the side that was leaking. Not sure of the terminology of this, but he said 9/10 times this fixes the...

    Shocks for 2" Lift

    Well I have done some research for the shocks I am having put on this week. I had to take it to a garage because I couldn't get the bolts off. And the garage had to cut them off anyways. Stock shocks in Pennsylvania winters for the past 14 years. :) Pro Comp shocks on my 97 Expy with TT and...

    Some chick parked beside me the other day...

    The person driving the expy probably went to pull in to that parking space and then seen the little guy setting there so parked beside it.

    Some chick parked beside me the other day...

    Yep Dib is right. They are the XD Spy 797 series 18"x9". And thanks for the compliments guys. I want to put a 3" body lift on it but we are expecting a baby next week... The wife is only 5' so she is not excited about it.

    Some chick parked beside me the other day...

    Looking to add a brush guard... help & pic request

    I have a Go Rhino! brush guard on mine and no tail light covers. I haven't hit anything with my expedition yet so I am not sure how strong it is. It also has tow hooks on the front of it but haven't had the opportunity to use them yet either. Overall I am very happy with mine. Also, my headlight...

    Crank t-bar vs. Leveling keys???

    I was told by a 4x4 shop to make sure the place doing your new alignment does it "old School" , actually taking measurements and not letting a computer align your front end. The computers are programed to factory settings and with cranking the torsion bars and spacers your not factory any more...

    I'm from central PA, near Raystown Lake. I would be up for it.

    Which Leveling Lift Kit?

    Yea i agree, with my 97. I did the leveling/lift and put the rims/tire on the same time and noticed at least a 4 mpg decrease.. :eek: I went from 265/75/16 Cooper Discover ATR to 33x12.5x18 Nitto Grappler A/T. Granted it didn't get good gas mileage anyways..

    stuck between 2" & 3" spacers

    Well that kinda answered a question of mine. I have read on here that with the torsion bar twist and rear spacers that you can use factory shocks. So I went to Advanced and got prices for the Monroe ??? shocks they are $44 each, front & rear same price. Are they worth it? Sounds like no.. Thanks...

    Light bulb size interior and exterior

    Ok, I will go with the white ones for the dash and AC. Guess I will have to deal with the High beam indicator. The lights and 4x4 switch should be ok their stock color, blueish/Green. And yea I have PATS, Thanks for the info. I probably would have disconnected it. Thanks again.

    stuck between 2" & 3" spacers

    I recently put the 3" rear spacers and cranked up my torsion bars in the front. It sits level, well looking at it from the side, I didn't measure it. while putting the spacers on I noticed my shocks looked like stock (97). Sure enough while driving it I now get the bumping noise in the rear end...

    Light bulb size interior and exterior

    Wow, thanks! Where did you get the 78 bulbs from I don't see them on the autolumination.com website. I haven't taken out my instrument cluster yet as I wanted to have the bulbs in hand to replace them. I was going to do the white or Amber if i could get all of the "green" lights off of my dash...

    Light bulb size interior and exterior

    I thought this was a good link for finding out what size light bulbs any of your vehicle takes. It lists interior and exterior light bulbs and the size. I was looking to replace my dash lights with LED lights and found this site. Hopefully this helps out everyone looking to replace bulbs on any...

    Remote car starter

    I'm not sure about the bypass module but I'm pretty sure you do. I had to get an extra key made for my 97 because it had a python remote start system already in it when I bought it. The extra key was because it has a one of the factory keys under the dash in a box that tells the PATS that there...

    Slipping Transmission or Ignition Problem?

    Fixed perfectlly, I have put another 5K on the transmission and it shifts better than before. Best $140 I have spend on the truck. I was really doubtful that the flush with the machine would help, but I was so wrong. This maybe a different issue, but when i was towing a trailer this past...
