    DRL questions on newly purchased Canadian 1999

    My '99 EB 5.4L doesn't have DRLs, and I haven't seen any that do have them. You may just have to turn your parking lights on to serve as DRLs and call it good. :confused:

    5.4l low power with WOT

    Lean mixture is caused by either too much air or not enough fuel. Occam's Razor suggests changing the fuel filter.

    RPM dropping at idle and then Recovering. Inconsistent

    I agree with the previous suggestions; sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere.

    no start on cold days

    The fuel pump on my '99 EB went out at about 250K miles. Total failure was preceded by symptoms identical to yours.

    Oil Pressure Gauge

    My oil pressure gauge acted strange a little while ago. Where it used to come up right after start, it would take a bit to register. Shortly thereafter it started oscillating while cruising at highway speed. Mechanic noticed it, too. Checked the oil pressure; it was good when checked. A couple...

    I wanted to introduce myself and I have a couple questions about my 2000 Eddie Bauer

    Rear wiper likely needs a new motor; easy to fix. I suggest you change the fuel filter (if you've not done it already). Don't forget the A/C blend door actuator (that's a PITA; dash has to come out).

    1999 Expedition

    I found a replacement passenger side mirror w/signal - in the right color, no less - on eBay for about $100.

    Cabin filter in 2000 Expedition?

    My '99 EB 5.4 doesn't have one. :cool:

    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:

    No crank/no start after oil pressure light

    I had a similar condition with my '99 EB 5.4L. Bad oil pump; engine seized. (I dropped a reman in her.)

    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:

    ABS Bypass?

    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

    I've got Weathertechs up front in my '99 EB; also have their bug deflector. LOVE 'EM.

    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.
