    No crank, no start, 99 EB 5.4

    I had a start issue that was my starter. Did my battery cables at the same time because of age and some corrosion. Just had an issue pop back up and ended up being my 9 month old battery not being able to hold a start load after sitting for a couple of days. Got it replaced under warranty...

    1998 5.4 engine problem — STUMPED

    30 psi isn't where you need to be on your fuel pressure. Think isn't closer to 40-50psi. Either your pump is weak or your repair has a restriction in it. Also the pressure regulator may have issues but depending on if the pump has even been changed I'd look there first. I replaced the...

    Can someone please explain

    A meter would help a lot. You could have a bad cable or ground. Bad connection at the battery. If it loses power and your lights and all go out when you go to start it then probably the battery connection is bad. Probably just a coincident it happened after the overheating. Even if the...

    Odd Brake problem

    My wifes '10 had a similar issue but it progressed to a bad pull to the right. Ended up being a frozen slide pin on the bottom right caliper bolt. Greased it up and works great. I also replaced the brake lines while I was at it (found the pin while replacing the lines thinking I had a...

    2000 Eddie Bauer - Rear sway bar suggestions please

    The sway bar probably bolts to the bottom of the linkage instead of the side with those 2 extra little brackets.

    My MOAB Bucket list build..

    Do you need some limiting straps to help prevent the shaft issue and that could break shocks while on the trail.

    New Toy! 1998 Expedition XLT 4x4

    Think those are just casting and not cracks. More likely theres a washer missing on the plug. If it is a crack make sure to rough up the surface good for adhesion. But if there is a crack right there I'd say it extends to where the plug is (maybe over-tightened) and that will be real hard to...

    Need Advice Please!

    I second a battery tender or a solar charger (good one). The tell is that when you replaced the battery it worked good for awhile and it slowly got worse. You drive once a week and you didn't say how far you go. I'd say your not getting the battery charged back up after it sits for a week and...

    Mysterious stain on the sides of the third row

    Looks like a seat/vinyl cleaner that was over sprayed and not cleaned off because it seemed just wet but once it dried later left a residue however it is an odd pattern for a spray nozzle and there is nothing on the seats. Have you done the car wash yet?

    1997 taking in water, gurgle gurgle!!!

    You may have to get up in that headliner to see. A window glass like Safelite would be able to reseal the windshield. Make sure they get all the old sealant off. Make sure you don't have a hose broke from the drain hole in the sunroof down to the fender/pillar. They will dryrot and fall off...

    Here's the latest issue......Gates water pump is garbage!

    If it was the steel tube the valley would be full of fluid and he said it was dry. It was leaking from the bottom behind the pulley which suggests the weep hole. So a bad pump or possibly a pulley wobbling caused an early failure. At least your not out money and only time and effort. Be sure...

    2002 On/Off Road 4x4 Build

    A good off-road vehicle will suck towing because of the softer suspension. I've pulled a little with my 4x4 '99 and wasn't happy with it but I'm used to pulling with my '92 E-350. Unless you go with a custom suspension that can be adjusted you won't be happy with one or the other. Try looking...

    Highway handling improvements

    Also make sure to check the rear. Those lower trailing arms like to go bad. There are bushings in the panhard bar and swaybar back there too. It can cause you to float around a bit at speed.

    can I get an opinion on something?

    Plowing is tough on a frame. Trucks equipped to plow from the factory generally have front reinforcement or used to. Your exp. is actually heavier than a pickup and the drivetrain is the same. You will sag the front with the extra weight as plow trucks have heavier spring rates. If your not...

    Water leak at the firewall/back of the motor

    So I bought a '99 EB 5.4 4x4 for 900.00. Its in great shape except for the antifreeze leak near the fire wall. I've got the intake pulled atm. Soooo much fun (sarcasm). I found one semi bad coil pack but not sure on the water leak. The intake gasket looked good and couldn't see anything on the...
