    '00 EB 4.6L/2WD Rear Axle swap compatibility

    I'd like to swap out my 3.31 geared rear axle for a 3.73 or 3.90 from a standard suspension Expedition. What years are compatible/interchangeable with my 2000? My thinking is, it's a lot cheaper and simpler to swap the entire axle vs re-gearing. I can't get a gearset purchased and installed...

    '00 Expy/4.6L slight miss @ idle NO CODES

    My Expy has a slightly, almost undetectable, rough idle. It's a bit more pronounced at higher RPM's. BUT NO CODES. I'm a bit stumped as I've replaced all my COPs, due to earlier misfire codes in multiple cylinders. I've also removed the injectors and cleaned them. Also, I've taken it to my...

    '00 EB Expy Rear axle help....

    I want to replace my 8.8" 3.31 geared axle with a 3.73 geared axle. I can pick up this veryu axle for $205.00 at my local pick-a-part vs $250-300 for the gears and $800 for the install. Aside from the obvious '97-'02 Expeditions, what other Ford vehicles could I use as donors??? Like-year...

    '00 EB Expo, 4.6L, 4R70W Axle ratio options

    I was recently quoted $750 to install 3.73's or 3.90's in my 8.8", 3.31-geared rear axle. That is the INSTALL ONLY-NOT including gears, master install kit, gear oil, etc. So I started thinking, why couldn't I just swap the ENTIRE AXLE with one from a similar year with the ratio I want from a...

    Dual Piston Caliper swap...

    I've got an '00 EB Expo and it has single piston calipers in the front. I'd like to swap in a set of the dual piston types I think I've seen of F-150's, etc. Is this an easy swap? Or will I also have to replace the master cylinder, prop valve, etc.?

    '00 EB Expo, 4.6, CA-based

    I'm hoping someone on this forum can answer this odd question. My '00 EB Expo is exhibiting signs of a plugged/partially plugged cat. I live in So. Cal. where emissions laws are extreme. I'm moving to So. Utah shortly and was wondering if I STILL have to maintain the CA-based cat part numbers...

    Expedition R & P ratio question...

    I have an '00 EB Expy/4.6/2WD the tires that came with the truck are close to 32" tall and my 8.8 has 3.31 gears. Why did Ford use such a high ratio if they're shodding these trucks with that large a tire???? According to most ratio calculators the R & P ratio should be-at a minimum-3.73's...

    4.6L Triton Oil Filter Removal Problems

    Ok just bought a new to me '00 EB Expy with 4.6L in awesome shape. Started an oil change and ran smack dab into an oil filter that was on SOOOOOOO freagin' tight I almost swore.

    Seat belt retractors are sluggish.

    '00 EB Expo. The seat belt retractors feel like they're weak and don't retract as new ones do. Is there something I can do short of buying new retractors/seat belts???

    Why, Why, Why is my factory axle ratio so high?

    '00 EB Expo with 4.6/4R70W/8.8/NO Tow/2WD. From the factory, why are there 3.31's in a heavy SUV with stock 32" tires?!?!?!? Even 3.73's are still too high. By most estimators it should be around 4.10/4.11's-if not lower. So again, what is the reasoning behind this? The 3.31's sure explain...

    Headlamp Ass'y replacement with GLASS unit???

    I have an '00 Expo and I'm sick of the dull, oxidized, UV damaged, cloudy lenses. Yes, I've seen chrisfix's vid on treating and coating damaged lenses but where can I buy a GLASS lens assembly-instead of the standard stupid plastic ass'y???

    8.8 R & P interchangeability

    I have an '00 EB Expo with open 3.31's that I'd like to change to 3.73's with the limited slip. Can I take a "D4" or "L73" tagged gearset out of an Explorer/Ranger/F-150, etc. and use it? Money, or the lack of it, is my main motivation. Or would I be better off just installing said axle. Do...

    What rear axle do I have?

    Have an '00 EB Expy with 4.6L and automatic trans, 4-wheel discs. No tow pkg. Is the rear axle the 8.8? With 1.626" pinion? Also, I'm considering a lowering of the axle ratio from 3.31's to 3.73'2-3.90's. I have the stock size tires. Has anyone done this with success? Thanks in advance.

    Identification/Line setting ticket info?

    Is there a website that you can enter your VIN and get info such as all options, packages, trim levels, etc. that your Expy came off the line with? Chrysler has this service available and the info is invaluable-especially for older vehicles.

    Brand New Expy Owner

    Hi just want to say hello to you all. Just picked up an '00 Eddie Bauer Expedition with 4.6L Triton, etc. with 170K miles but in excellent condition-inside and out. I'm coming from a '93 Jeep Grand Cherokee so the size difference is noticeable. What modifications do you recommend for a little...
