    Loud metallic clanging noise from drivetrain?

    To add to the mystery... I was driving home from work this morning and it was real loud. Sounded worse than ever. At 55mph steady it lightened up and then kind of sounded like I was going 3mph with an occasional metallic tink. Accelerate a little and it's tinking away again. So I turn off the...

    Loud metallic clanging noise from drivetrain?

    Definitely not nails. It's much louder than that. Like there's a gremlin under there lol. I was thinking maybe hubs. I suppose ill jack it up and spin the tires to see if I can replicate it. Could be something in the CV but I've always found that as more of a loud thud/clicking noise made...

    Loud metallic clanging noise from drivetrain?

    Hi guys so I have a new problem with my 98. It sounds like so one put a nut in a can and is clanging it around under my truck. This happened once this past spring and went away as soon as I hit 55 mph. It came back the other day and is getting louder every time I drive. It is definitely...

    Grill question

    Thanks guys. I really didn't see how there could be a difference between 4 and 2wd on the grill. Wonder why the sellers are labeling them 2wd or 4wd only. Sent from the Millennium Falcon using Tapatalk 2

    Grill question

    Hey guys. I've decided I want to replace the grill on my 98 expedition. Looking on eBay I see some grills that are marked 2wd only less marked 4wd only and the majority not specifying which they're for. So my question is, is there actually a difference between the two as far as mounting and...

    IAC high idle help!

    Sounds like it could be the notorious cracked PCV valve return line boot. It's located up behind the top of the intake. Follow the tube from where it comes out of the PCV and you'll see the boot that connects to the intake. Put your hand there and see if you feel a vacuum leak. There's a post...

    Whats it worth?

    I think your being overly optimistic. Most people looking for a rig like you built probably aren't looking for an Expedition and the miles are certainly going to be a turn off. If you found the right buyer, like a young kid with money to burn then I'd say maybe 4k but the markets flooded with...

    projector headlights anyone?

    I didn't notice these ones are even cheaper than some of the others by using halogen. The new big thing on eBay with the Chinese projectors is they're using LED bulbs in the projector as the actual headlight instead of halo or HID. It's not legal but then none of these lights are as they're...

    projector headlights anyone?

    Those are LED angel eyes not HID. I'd look for a set of true HID angel eyes or get some the LED strip ones without the angel eye and add your own HID's. As stated above LED do not emit enough light to work well. Last I knew LED bulbs where not approved by the DOT as headlights. Fine as...

    Ex chevy guy

    Still own a chevy but I'd take an Expy over a Tahoe any day. Much better ride and just better built.

    Really strange new issue... Help?

    Just wanted to update this in case anyone else has this issue. This was one of those things were fixing one issue created another. Replacing the broken belt tensioner allowed my belt to actually run tight instead of half slipping like it was when I got it. Replacing that started the squeal...

    98 premium sound no Mach question

    So there is a factory amp on just the premium sound version then? It doesn't really sound like it so I wasn't sure. Any idea where it is? I'm installing an aftermarket amp with new speakers. I'd really prefer to use the factory speaker wire though to save some agrivation so ill have to cut...

    98 premium sound no Mach question

    I'm trying to purchase this head unit from amazon but I don't know what adapters I need. According to crutchfield I need scosche OEA-4 to get the speakers to work? Is this true with non MACH?

    Body Lift inquiry

    Does the lift kit come with new front CV shafts? Your stock won't work with that kind of height so I would think it would but figured I'd ask. Honestly these things are so top heavy I'd not want to go that high for fear of rolling it on a corner if it was my daily driver. Of course I also tend...

    Most Cost Effecient Programmer

    Amazon has some nice DVD head units for a a steal right now. I'm ordering the Pioneeer AVH-x5500 today for 379. You can find the 3500 for around 299 though if your broke. Takes a little modification to fit one in but well worth it when you consider the price of a single DIN unit in...

    01 expy 5.4l engine removal help

    Could always replace the lifters but its not entirely nessacary. Could also change the oil pump while its out but again... Not nessacary if your pressure is good. I'd definitely do all new gaskets and timing chains as was mentioned. Might also want to considering having a machine shop...

    Installed my NEW $99 Bull Bar

    That was from 2011 so I'm guessing they're gone lol. You can still find the mirror polished SS ones for 99 bucks though. They're mostly from china but shipped from California. The reviews I've read on eBay have been mostly positive.

    Service Engine Lite came on randomly, why?

    Have fun with this rear ones. It's a blast like was mentioned. The hardest part is getting the coils off of them IMO. Be sure to have two universal joints also. The ball joint style work best but the knuckle ones will get the job done. Oh and while your doing all this if your egr valve is...

    Misfire/ poor running Eddie Bauer

    This is actually good information to know. I didn't realize some manufacturers where coating them in zinc now. About time they realized steel and aluminum don't play well together.

    Misfire/ poor running Eddie Bauer

    Like panhandler said you'd know if it blew a plug out because it would just be sitting there not screwed in. I don't think they all blow as spectacularly as his did but you should be able to notice. As far as stripping the cylinder head it's always a possibility with aluminum heads. I...

    Service Engine Lite came on randomly, why?

    Search YouTube for a how to video. There's a ton of them for the 5.4 because its also in the f150. You don't have the two part plugs in yours so if you see those videos about the nightmare it is dont worry. If it where me I'd do all coils and plugs. They're going to start to go bad with the...

    Yet another lightbulb question....

    Wish I could use search from my phone.. It's a bulb 74. Took me a bit of hunting but I tracked it down on here. Order them up off of eBay. Hopefully will be in from Hong Kong next week... Wishful thinking but maybe.
