    AC compressor clutch noise

    Just got the timing chain project wrapped up on my 2000 XLT 4.6 & now I need to address another issue that's been around a couple of summers. The AC compressor clutch has been rattling for awhile, but it keeps working, so I put it off. Since I spent quite a bit of time under the truck the last...

    4.6 2V oil pump wear

    I'm doing a timing chain replacement on my 2000 XLT & changing the oil pump while I'm in there. I noticed the old pump has nothing between it & the timing chain drive sprocket. There's definitely wear on the pump case, but not bad for 170k miles...... BTW, my timing kit was a Cloyes kit from...

    2000 XLT original shocks

    I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I just got through replacing all 4 shocks for the 1st time on my 2000. Honestly though, I've never felt like the truck had any detrimental handling or driving effect from the old shocks. I guess we'll see if I sing the same tune after driving it with the...

    2000 XLT holiday trip

    Rather than fly from here in NE Texas to Birmingham, AL for Christmas with my daughter we decided to make the drive. That way we could bring the gifts, etc and not be tied to a flight schedule. It's a long drive(about 600 mi)for one day, but most of it is a beautiful drive. We just got a new...

    Brake fluid flush

    How often do you change it? I bought a pressure kit for my daughter's bimmer a few years ago(she since traded it away for a jeep). Might as well put it to use on my trucks. Just have find the adapter cap for my master cylinder.

    Discount Tire

    I'm a little miffed right now because I set up an appointment last week for a set of tires on the 2000 Expedition. Most of what they offer in OEM size(255/70R16)are low or no stock, so paying up front a week prior to the install appointment seems a good way to insure they will order...

    00 crazy drivers window

    It works just fine in cool weather( <80 degrees), but no go after ambient temperatures climb. I had to reglue the glass clips on this one last year...coincidence? Also, passenger side window quit working prior to driver side acting up....in any temperature. Jeff

    Front suspension, rotors, brakes

    Got around to replacing ball joints, upper control arms, rotors, bearings, & pads this week. 163k on all parts except pads. I went with Moog for suspension parts, Raybestos rotors & pads, Timken bearings. As usual, I didn't think to take pics of the process, but here's the old parts laying in...

    2000 XLT need to deal with roof

    The roof paint on my dark blue XLT is toast. All these years in the TX sun has turned it to a flaking mess. Rattlecan paint would probably last about 6 mos even if I put in the proper amount of prep labor, professional paint job is not in the budget. Have any of you experimented with bedliner...

    AC stuck on defrost

    My 2000 XLT suddenly wouldn't divert air to any choice but defrost last week. I'm always amazed when my mind skips over the most simple explanation & wants to make things more complicated. I spent several days researching the ways to repair or replace the front unit blend door or door...

    Throttle body cleaning

    Spending all my spare time lately chasing a problem on my F150 has me feeling the Expy is being neglected, plus it's been idling pretty rough for several months. Then, I couldn't recall ever cleaning the Expy's throttle body.:Frustrated: I had just completed the same job on the F150, so it went...

    Drivers window reg pulled loose

    Last month I hit the window down button at the post office & heard a thunk, but the window stayed up. I could hear the regulator move up & down using the button after that but it was definitely no longer attached to the glass. The glass is not frozen or jammed, I can move it up & down by hand...

    Gen-1 front suspension parts

    Time to replace control arms, lower ball joints, & maybe end links on my 2000 XLT. Anyone have negative experience with Moog parts? I will likely buy from Rockauto. BTW, the sway bar end links & bushings started rattling a couple of years ago, so they're already done. Jeff

    not sure what took so long to get here...

    I bought my 2000 Expedition back in '05, but only just started looking for a forum on the faithful Expy. My daily driving is actually split between this truck & my F150...same model, same drivetrain. The Expedition has a Windsor 4.6 & the pickup a Romeo engine. It's been a reliable & very...
