    Sport Package Fender Flare Color?

    Hey all, does anyone know what the paint color code is for the 2000 XLT Sport Package fender flares? I went to my Ford Dealer and they didn't know what color they were either. I checked my VIN and the color comes out Black (UA), as well as looked around the forum and couldn't find any leads. Any...

    Headlight Replacement Suggestions Please-2000 XLT 4X4 Sport 5.4L

    Stay clear from the 'one piece' projector lights and really all projector lights for 1st gens. Take it from me, I've owned several sets of aftermarket headlights from the Spyders to the ANZOs and all in between, and I would say without a doubt that all the Projector headlights on the market for...

    Brand New 4R70W Trans Squeaking Sound

    UPDATE : Fixed + Fantastic Story So it only took 7 weeks for the shop to resolve the issue. Thank god I'm able to work from home. First off, earlier the shop swapped my Transmission with a brand new one in July to resolve the loud squeaking that reverberated from where the Transmission meets...

    Brand New 4R70W Trans Squeaking Sound

    Well I took it into the shop on Aug 19th and they're still trying to figure out the issue, took the Trans apart and the clutch plate is undamaged and the Harmonic Balancer is fine. I'll keep y'all updated as I receive more info.

    Brand New 4R70W Trans Squeaking Sound

    So about a month ago I replaced my Transmission with a brand new 4R70W from Ford on my 2000 XLT 4x4 with the 4.6 at 212k, it was running and shifting smoothly almost like a brand new truck, then 3 days ago I noticed a very small leak from the transmission on my driveway where the tranny meets...

    Why, What are you doing Ford?

    That Ecosport will likely be replaced by the Puma once it makes the trip over the Atlantic next year. So worry not, for a better looking Subcompact SUV is on the way. As for the Manuals, I know its blasphemy to say this but Manuals are becoming a thing of the past... Less than 14% of the C7...

    3 Catalytic Converters?

    If you're gonna go through that much trouble cutting and replacing each one individually, all the power to you. But I'd humbly suggest just grabbing a Direct Fit CAT System, Comes with the both sets of CATs with the connected piping that make the Y-Pipe. =ENGINE|4.6L']Flowmaster has a great CAT...

    3 Catalytic Converters?

    This is strange, I can attest that all 1st Gen Expys came with 4 Cats, 2 Front Bends (that come almost directly off the Exhaust Manifolds) and 2 "Fat Bois" directly behind the bends but before the Y-Pipe. Could you specify which one is missing? Front or Rear Passenger Cat? You could also get a...

    Won't start and locks/unlocks the doors

    Well this update is a little bit late but I think the issue was the sensor in the key. I swapped to my secondary set of keys and I haven't had this issue since. Kinda shaking my head to think that a key could cause such a fuss.

    Liftgate Rust Issues

    So I'm sure that the majority of you have dealt with rust with the 1st Gen Expys seeing as they're along the lines of 20 years old now. That being said, the lower end (bottom) of my liftgate has gone from Okay to Bad in the time span of a year. So for starters (I rarely use my liftegate) it all...

    Ticking sound

    Its your exhaust manifolds. Likely a broken Screw/Bolt or its just rusting like a Duck. I had this exact issue, swapped some headers on, no more ticking and sounds better overall.

    Recommendations for headers for a 4.6?

    *Update* So I went with the Ceramic Coated BBK Headers and they felt solid and look great (granted you really cant see them unless you look through the Wheel wells) that being said it was a bitch to pull off the manifolds (corrosion, rust and old hardware) but I eventually got them off. I...

    Recommendations for headers for a 4.6?

    Recommendations for headers for a 4.6?

    Thanks Killer! I'm shopping around right now and it's between the JBAs and BBKs. But $470 for the base Nautral Finish (no protection) on the JBAs is killing me considering the BBKs have a Chrome Base base finish at $350... But all things considered, how was the performance increase for your Expy?

    Won't start and locks/unlocks the doors

    Well this is embarrassing... So I just spent 30 or so minutes dealing with this exact issue. Turned the Key, heard an audible 'Click' from the starter but it wouldn't turn over, then when letting the key return to the Forward position I hearing another audible click from the fuse box area, a...

    need some advice

    You can buy them at the Ford Parts Department. They have a couple million left in stock.

    need some advice

    Sometimes water gets in via the door wiring harness/tube and runs direcly by the relay, and ultimately fries it. Its an easy fix, the only tough part is pulling the sucker out.

    Won't start and locks/unlocks the doors

    Check the ground, as well as the Starter itself and Solenoid, and grab a new battery from Costco as Killer Ride says.^

    Any HID Issues in Projectors?

    In terms of aftermarket technology with regards to lighting, LED headlight bulbs are still in their 'infancy', they're getting better with each generation but until they can get sharp and even light patterns from the LEDs like how a Halogen/HID filament does in a projector, LED bulbs still have...

    Loose Transmission Shifter

    When you say 'loose' do you mean that the shifter would kinda wobble a bit after say going over a speed bump or the something like that? Because a few months ago the shop broke my original shifter and replaced mine after I came to pick it up for a different fix (I was kinda pissed that when I...

    Recommendations for headers for a 4.6?

    This past week my exhaust manifolds decided to make scene, I was leaving a car meet when I started her up and at which point a slight audible 'pop' happened on the passenger side of the engine bay, then it started making the "my exhaust manifold has a big hole now and I want everyone to know!"...

    Polish or replace headlight?

    Replace them. But DO NOT buy aftermarket projector headlights, those projectors are straight up garbage and provide virtually zero down-road light. If you want projector Headlights you're gonna have to Retrofit them. That being said, I recommend buying Housings with a clear lens and getting...
