    99 eddie bauer lift

    From the dealer. There are some stiffer torsion bars. They are a heavy duty torsion bar that comes off 2001 f 150 HD the bars are label as 7700. I think from the dealer they may cost up to 200. With these torsion bars. They should be perfect replacements. You can go with a stiffer spring...

    1998 Expedition 5.4 Triton

    On my 99 xlt 5.4l. I have a tap on the passenger side that sounds like a valve. I have done allot of listening and looking to find that mine comes not from the valves, but from the first bend on the exhaust manifold. When the engine warms up it will " echo " the sound of the internal pop. Odd...

    Lets talk about lockers!

    Detroit all the way. Just install and forget it. Yes you WILL chirp a tire. It WILL unlock and lock. It WILL go bang and scare you sometime. Guess what.

    Catalytic Converter Question

    I would not recommend removing all the cats and straight pipein it. You loose low end and over all the performance SUCKS. I went from factory set up getting 14 mph IN TOWN to 9 mph IN TOWN, tranny was constantly shifting out of over drive. Just take out the 4 of them and install 2. one on each...

    Check this out, Ive shown you this now how about this?

    What Ford needs to do is to take the 99 expy body style and put 1 ton axles under it and put the old 7.3L turbo diesel under the hood and a good auto tranny that wont destroy itself. They would have something. I think they over did it with the excursion thing. Body was just WAY to big.. And...

    Hesitation under slight acceleration

    Just as easier to replace all the plugs and coils then to dork around with stealerships or one at a time deal... HEAR I would look at a quick look at my local parts store for what I replaced on mine..

    Hesitation under slight acceleration

    The best way to see what is really going on, is to take ur truck to dealer and spend the $60 to $150 for the to tell you which one is fouling up. Or just drop the cash to replace all of them with new plugs while your their. Another thought is to get one coil pack and start with one and drive...

    New here; need help with a low idle issue

    Just a side thought. There is a little rubber hose and a 90 angle off the valve cover. I would try there. the other one I can think of is to clean the mass air flow sensor, the intake air temp sensor, the throttle position sensor, and replace the pcv valve. yes the coils are hard to get to...

    Fire Extinguisher and flash light placement

    I have a rear cargo bag that my wife used in her old jeep before it got totaled. It would not fit in the rear of her durango due to the rear 3rd row seat. It fits a good amount of things. A foldable shovel, a heavy coat, oil, water, other stuff. Fits in the back and does its job very well....

    Brown Wire Mod

    To sum up the thread. Brown wire mod: all this does is kill the power from the computer to the clutches, so that it will not engage the awd or a4wd. There still is power being applied from the transfer case to the front end, but not enough to do anything. There should not be any front wheel...

    Gotts Mod question

    On the drilled holes in the plastic fender well. I really don't think it would really matter as to were you put the holes. I would think near the engine, and not the top portion would be fine. Make like say two lines from front to back. Two holes high about an inch apart. then ten holes down...
