    Aux Blower Motor Resistor Location? (No EATC)

    I have an 01 Expedition XLT without automatic temperature control, and lost the blower fan on the LOW, MED-LOW, MED-HIGH settings. For a 20 yr old part the resistors didn't look too bad but it did fail the test for the thermal fuse. I am replacing the blower motor resistor network for the front...

    Blown Out Subwoofer

    $500 is crazy! I put a Rockford Fosgate 10" DVC sub in the factory enclosure when I did my audio upgrade, and I am still happy with it a year later. You should easily be able to find a replacement speaker for less $100 and mount it into your existing enclosure. What Kenwood head unit did you use?

    First Gen Expedition Rear control arms

    I didn't know about this design change, but my '01 uses the 16 mm x 2.0 x 90 mm type. I am currently involved in replacing the upper/lower trailing arms on mine due to corrosion. I did have to cut the head off the driver side bolt on the lower arm in order to remove it since I didn't want to go...

    4.6 L engine tap with exhaust smell

    Check to make sure the plugs are seated normally. Maybe you can record a video and share it with us?

    Random misfire on 4.6

    Have you tried swapping the injectors for 8 & 3 with known good cylinders and see if that cures the problem?

    Piston Slap

    I think I have experienced this issue with my 2001 4.6. I can't even call it a problem because it drives fine, and uses no oil, but at times I have noticed a "rattle" when the engine is still cold, but once it warms up it is quiet. I currently have 191k on this and it has really led a very easy...

    Help, california is insane, mpg mods needed

    Clean burning engines are good and necessary when there are billions of vehicles in the world. You don't like clean air, then you'll love China. You can thank CARB for +300hp/+30 mpg Mustangs and being able to easily see the Manhattan skyline from the Verrazano bridge.

    Help, california is insane, mpg mods needed

    I have a feeling that any differences you find between an 85 and 87 octane fuel will be less than your measurement uncertainty. You'll have larger errors and more variability in other factors (unrelated to the type of fuel you are using) that will effect your answer more than any differences...

    98 expedition runs out of gas at half tank

    Was this problem ever resolved? If you took the truck into a parking lot and drove it in a tight circle (left or right turns), could you make the engine stall/run rough?

    Make and Model folks

    -It has to last you 20 years -Run for 200,000 plus miles -Have only a $25k budget -Can be car, truck, suv. -You’ll never buy another vehicle and you won’t have much cash for repairs. I think if you maintain ANY vehicle, you should be able to get 200k out of it. I know you could spend A LOT...

    Rear AIR Suspension Concern

    I have an 01 XLT 2WD (+180k) with self leveling (rear only) and redid my air ride last summer. It was incredibly easy to replace the air springs, solenoids and compressor. My system had been trouble-free for 17 yrs and all of the components were original pieces from 01. I went with Arnott A2148...

    Stereo Upgrade - 2000 Expedition with MACH Premium System

    My vehicle only came with Premium sound (no OEM sub) so there were no additional amplifiers beyond the head unit. I installed an aftermarket monoblock amp and a sub in the factory location. I have a Ford factory wiring manual for 2001 models if anyone needs a schematic.

    the tornado

    Let's just say for the sake of argument that the Tornado does work and can produce a few mpg increase over a vehicle without it. What's stopping Ford, or any other auto manufacturer, from molding in an OEM Tornado into the intake of every vehicle they manufacture? Absolutely nothing. The...

    Stereo Upgrade - 2001 XLT with Premium (Base) Audio

    Thanks Moose. I'm happy with the sound and the bass is excellent for my tastes. I mainly listen to rock and like the bass to be tight and clean with good definition. The MTX is 0.6 cu-ft and the subwoofer specified a 0.7 cu-ft sealed enclosure. I felt that having the enclosure towards the small...

    Stereo Upgrade - 2001 XLT with Premium (Base) Audio

    So after many years (and miles), I decided to do a full audio upgrade to my 2001 No Boundaries edition Expedition XLT. The vehicle is still driven regularly (+185k) and I thought this would make it more fun to drive. My Expedition didn't come with a factory subwoofer so that will be part of the...

    Stereo Upgrade - 2000 Expedition with MACH Premium System

    I want to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. Your info was very helpful during the install of a Kenwood DNX574S head unit, Kicker CSC68 & Cerwin Vega V468 speakers, front and rear cameras, and a Rockford Fosgate Prime 10" sub (R2D4) in an MTX enclosure. I'll provide a more complete...

    Engine Power Loss (Momentarily) when making right turn

    I have experienced this exact same problem but with an 03 Crown Victoria. Both vehicles have a 4.6L and 4R75W trans. My Expedition has never exhibited this behavior in the 17 yrs I have owned it and my Crown Vic only started doing it after a new fuel pump was installed.

    Can Anyone Identify These OEM wheels?

    I have those wheels on my 01, they came with the No Boundaries edition XLT. I believe the casting on the back says they were manufactured by Ronal (not 100% sure on this). They held up well over the years but could use a refinishing!

    High mileage Expys?

    Our radiators have plastic end tanks and are electrically isolated from the vehicle, so no need to put a ground strap on the radiator (core??). This makes no sense. I have a 2WD 2001 XLT with 183k flawless miles. I had to put in a heater core about 4 yrs ago, and I have recently begun replacing...

    Stereo Upgrade - 2000 Expedition with MACH Premium System

    Thanks, but I have been in touch with aeorn and he is still here. He used a Rockford Fosgate R500X1D Prime 1 amp in this install. I'm attempting something similar in my 2001 XLT and I'll update the group too.

    Stereo Upgrade - 2000 Expedition with MACH Premium System

    Very nice job aeorn, I'm about to do a similar install on mine. What is the model of the Fosgate amp that you are using? Any issues since you installed this?

    Double-din in 1st gen, modifications required.

    I'm about to undertake a similar modification (head unit, door speakers, small sub/amp) to my 01 Expedition XLT. Can you explain more about the ebrake bypass that you wired in for the backup cam?
