    Gas Saving Tips for Expy Owners?

    In this day in age, gas prices are so high, I might as well just buy a bike or just walk to where ever I was going. If there is anything you can do to your Expy to save gas prices, please post them. Thanks!

    Help (Towing Question)

    I just checked all the fuses they seem to be fine, there is no power going to the trailer marker prong on the 7RV outlet. Any suggestions?

    Help (Towing Question)

    I have a Ford factory hitch on my Expy and its a Ford 7RV blade on my outlet. I am using a 7RV to 4 pin adaptor connector and the brake and blinker lights work but the running lights dont work on the trailer. Im thinking its a blown fuse. I looked on the Ford fuse diagram and doesnt tell me...

    1997/1998 Coil Pack (spark plug)

    It all depends on which motor is in the truck, the 4.6's had coil packs and the 5.4's had coil-on-plugs. Usually the white milky substance under the cap is moisture from cold weather. I know there are several others that have thought the same thing thinking its the head gasket but its not...

    Flasher Relay

    If the flasher relay is anything like the other expeditions from 03-06 it would be on the underside of the driver's side on the right side like halfway up the dash. There should be a little box with a cover on it, the best way is to turn on your turn signal and feel for the ticks. But I had...

    CEL flashing after thermostat change

    Ok so I pulled the COPs on the side where the thermostat was...all are dry. One thing I found very peculiar was that the top of the #4 COP and connector were covered in antifreeze. Completely opposite side of the thermostat. I found that the hose with the T-split in it has a hole in it...

    CEL flashing after thermostat change

    Thx guys, these are relatively new COPs...but I would have to wait till Friday to get them changed out and I have to coach my kids football so I cant really wait around to get them fixed :)

    CEL flashing after thermostat change

    would it be worth it if I took out the COPs on the thermostat side and dried them and blow out the spark plug well with compressed air?

    CEL flashing after thermostat change

    I decided to change my thermostat cause it was stuck open, so I changed it and now I have a flashing CEL and sounds like it is missing. I think I may have got the COPs wet, is there any way to rectify this? thanks!

    Parking Brake question?

    I have a broken parking brake cable, it may be the front cable that snapped but I have been noticing a slight drag on my Expy, my thought that it may be that the parking brake is slightly engaged thats causing this drag. Is there any way of disengaging the parking brake by the equalizer (the...

    Alternator? (with pics)

    Thanks man, I just wanted a base reading to see if it was below 12volts. I find it awfully weird that it would run at 13.5 volts and when I ramped the rpms, it hardly moved. When I turned on the lights, it would drop to 12.8v....Im thinking it may be a bad voltage regulator but the battery...

    Mach Audio System

    I have the stock encloure in mine with and aftermarket Lanzer 8"...seems to work fine and puts out good bass. But the real question is.....can you hook up the factory amp to run that woofer? I have a small amp pushing it right now but would like to put back in my stock deck.

    Alternator? (with pics)

    I just discovered that I may have a faulty alternator but I'd just like to confirm and see what it may be. I have a 97 EB with 170K miles, 5.4L. Everything works fine, just kinda wondering whats going on. Here are some pics. Initial reading, with the engine off: Engine off...

    Location of EVAP cansiter purge solenoid?

    well the electrical problem was for the ECM and wasn't grounded properly but that wasnt throwing the code. The vacuum lines were bad and were causing it to do this hesitation going up hill and making it flash the CEL and stood on afterwards. Took it to a shop and they replaced all the EVAP...

    knocking noise at start up

    Mine does the same thing also, but I also noticed if I add a fuel additive with 89 octane, it doesnt do it until the next fill up.

    Still Missing....5.4L

    Mine is kinda doing the same thing still, it had the same issues you described, but couldnt find the culprit yet. Do you get like a little hesitation at 35 mph? Im thinking mine just needs a trans fluid change and filter. But anywho, did you replace #8 with Accel and left the others...

    Slight shuder at WOT

    A couple of questions: Is the shudder coming from the rear or from the front? When was the last time you did a rear diff fluid change?

    04 Expedition Not starting, electrical/fuse/pats issue

    I thought the relay is on the passenger side fuse box with the 6 larger relays on it? If that doesn't do it, hit the fuel pump reset button. I think changing out the fuse box is a bigger PITA then checking to see if its a blown relay IMO.

    04 Expedition Not starting, electrical/fuse/pats issue

    Just curious...did you check the Relay 3 for the fuel pump? If that relay is blown more than likely that will cause fuse 09 to blow, that is the relay for the fuel pump.

    2000 5.4 Expedition w/limited slip trans. stalling

    Check the vacuum lines on the EVAP solenoid to the EVAP canister in front, I had the exact same problem when you floor it going uphills, it would cause a lot of hesitation and throw a CEL My advise to check if it is the EVAP line, just barely touch the gas and get it up to speed, then once its...

    TPS Question

    Well I'd like confirm that there is a dead spot in the TPS I pulled today which causes the pulsating or vibration at 32-35 mph. If anyone is having the same issues I'd advise them to pull the TPS and replace it. For my situation, I pretty much did everything you can do to make the pulsating go...
