    A Question About Washer Fluid

    I had the same issue with my rear window washer. The shop fixed it when I had the rear wiper motor replaced; their note: "washer hose was off, fixed it.":cool:

    1998 Expedition Eddie Bower Edition middle row right small seat won’t fold flat.

    You have to monkey around with the little levers on the seat. Swearing a lot helps, too. You'll get it to fold flat(-ish) after a bit. And then you'll forget how you did it. (Happens to me every year.):cool:

    ABS Bypass?

    Repair shop found a used part. Knock wood. I still may buy one on eBay and find a rebuilder. Thanks for the input(s)!:cool:

    I had no idea these could be rebuilt. Do you have any contact info for the rebuilders? Thanks!

    ABS Bypass?

    Hey, y'all - '99 EB 5.4 AWD/4WD. Replaced ABS module about 9 months ago. ABS module is bad again. Can't locate any NOS parts; not wild about installing another salvage part. Anybody know if an ABS Bypass kit is available- and if so, where I might buy one? (I really don't need ABS, having...

    Suspension

    I ditched the air suspension on my '99 EB. I have Rancho shocks up front and some HD load-levelers from NAPA on the rear. Nice, solid ride; sticks to the road very well.

    1999 xlt 5.4L 4WD conversion to 2WD?

    8-9 MPG seems a little low. What kind of driving do you do? When did you last change all the filters? Tires/tire pressure good? All those little details can add up. I do mostly highway driving (55-70MPH) and get 16 MPG. Just my 2-cents. Good Luck!

    1st gen 4x4 problem

    I agree with Gary. That selector switch was making me mental (er) until I read the damn manual and put it in neutral to change modes. Works like a champ.

    Air suspension failure

    I converted my '99 EB 5.4 to standard shocks in 2016. Used an "Air Ditcher" kit. Towed a U-Haul full of tools, accessories, and an '85 Virago 700 from Oregon to Wisconsin. Never missed a beat. Rides just fine. Don't forget to pull the air suspension relay, if applicable.

    Wanting your opinions on my idea for different forum layout.

    Sounds good to me.

    What color Weathertech floor mats

    I got the tan Weathertechs for my '99 EB - damn near perfect color match.

    Floormats for 2022 Expy Limited

    Is the 12v accessory port always on?

    All of the accessory ports in my '99 EB 5.4 are always hot. Easy to check with the pilot light on a phone charger adapter...

    Fishing Rod Carrier

    I just fold the 2nd row seat down and put my fishing gear in the back. One of the nice things about being single. :cool:

    To all the Naysayers

    Nice! I've got 280K on my '99 EB 5.4L. LOF service every 3K miles. Rotate tires every 6K. Air filter every 12K. And I don't let little stuff grow into big problems.

    Air Filter

    Had bad luck with every K&N filter I've ever used - car, truck or motorcycle; not worth the money and hassle IMHO. I change my air filter every April - that's about 10-12K miles, max. I use whatever is on sale; generally find one on ebay for $10-$12 - in fact, I just ordered this year's...

    1997 4.6L issues HELP with ideas please

    Start small and work your way up. Fuel filter and vacuum lines. Occam's Razor almost always applies.

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

    Got these on ebay last year. Price was right; had my local mechanic install and aim 'em when I was in for other, routine service.

    One vacuum hose after another....

    I had a cluster of vacuum line failures a while back. Sucks that we can't get more than a quarter-million miles out of those OEM lines.:)

    Driver window called it quits

    Sometimes they just get stuck. My driver's window quit working a couple of years ago. I took the panel off and carefully whacked the motor a couple of licks with a long extension and dead blow hammer. Operation restored. May as well give that a try, since you're probably going to wind up...

    Lean conditions on both banks. What could it be?

    I had the both banks lean issue a few years ago. Replaced the fuel filter, cleared codes, hasn't been a issue since. I'm a big believer in Occam's Razor. (Also, I'm a cheap bastard.):)

    Do you trust your first gen?

    I got mine ('99 EB 5.4L) just over three years ago with 215K on it (now over a quarter-million). Had to have one spark plug heli-coiled, replaced radiator, new brakes all around, some hoses & lines replaced, new serpentine belt, just replaced front control arms w/4-wheel alignment. New battery...

    Windshield Wiper

    Hate to ask, but is the vehicle still under warranty? If not, how far out of warranty? Call Ford Customer Assistance and see if they'll cover it for you.
