Yes you are correct, I only was able to get the console, I'm guessing the wiring maybe there, but I bet the sensor is no where to be found. That's why I'm wondering if anyone else has tackled this before.
Thanks for the reply.
Before trying all of this try using tooth paste and some elbow grease.
I know you think I'm being stupid, but try it before you knock it.
BTW don't use a gel.
I have a 98 Expy that does not have the temp or compass in the overhead console but I have another spare console with it in and would like to install it. I don't have any thing else but that, no sensors or additional wiring. Any one attempted this themselves?
Thanks
That's one thing I thought a I might have to do. Might not get enough air/fuel to the bigger motor. Going to dry fit everything up to make sure I don't have any more surprises.
I'm guessing I will have to buy a 5.4 knock sensor and replace the connector from the 4.6 sensor to make it work...
So now I'm thinking I have a 5.4 bolted up in the truck now. Besides the sensor that I will have to replace with the 5.4 what else am I maybe looking at now for this? From what I can find the heads are the same between the 4.6 and 5.4 so my headers should work. I'm guessing the elctronics...
I have an issue with installing my remaned 4.6 Romeo motor in my 98 Expy. The knock sensor from the old motor has a way bigger thread than the remaned hole. I checked it out the best I can and I don't see where Ford used 2 different sized knock sensors in the 4.6. Could some how the reman has...
I know deep down inside that there can't be a big issue if I toss in a Windsor instead of a Romeo. I knew about them being built in different plants. I've looked up the rebuild kits for them and they are different. I also keep seeing different info on the Romeos that some say it was used only...
Rebuilding it isn't the issue except for about 300 bucks or so I can get a remand from out of state with a warranty. Finally found some that might interest me. Now I'm wondering about how some of these places like cores in pieces?
Hey guys I am in need of some help. I have a 98 Expy with the 4.6 motor. I thought the head gasket was out because it was running rough when first started and burning antifreeze badly. Than I had some more issues and decided to tear it down.
Here's what I've got so far....
Follower...
I go to CR a bit, live about an hour and a half north of there. Live out in the country around the Manchester area.
When you move this way if you have nicer weather bring some with you, you're not going to find much going on here.
Hi everyone...My name is Don...live in NE Iowa and own a 98 Black Expedition XLT with the 4.6 (which I am tearing the heads off for the dreaded head gasket issue) American Racing wheels, Cooper STT tires, gray leather interior.
Hope to learn a bunch more from you fine folks and your forum.
