    Odometer fixed

    Just to verify: the job is very easy to do but at first very daunting. I dreaded taking the dash components off and dealing with the issue. I finally gave in and bit the bullet. I had three joints that were broken and needed soldering. I put up with it way too long and bruised a few knuckles on...

    Passenger Side Mirror

    Rear Wiper Motor Up/Down relay location

If I stand at the wiper motor and manually lift it up until something catches, it goes up and works until i shut the...

    2001 Expy Tailgate Glass cable

    The cable that opens the tailgate glass is broken at the handle area. it is still attached up at the window latch, though, but I don't see a way of getting it out. I see four bolts holding the whole window latch onto the tailgate, but i'm not too sure how bad it is to replace. does anyone have...

    Poll about 5.4l V8 and mileage

    2001 Expedition XLT 5.4L original engine. Replaced Trans at 210k. It just turned over 336,000 miles and is running strong. I've got a bit of road vibration at high speeds and I'm thinking its the wheel bearings again, since i've had the tires balanced twice.
