    04 UCA replacement options

    @whtbronco yes Napa has me worried, too. I have a 96 Bronco that I have been bringing back to life. It is old so I can't get many Motorcraft parts for it, so I have been buying mostly Napa. I have bought alot of ignition parts, EGR, hoses, intake gaskets, O2 sensors, stuff like that. About half...

    04 UCA replacement options

    I got UCAs from Napa last year and they have been great. I have beat them up a little offroad and they have held up . On road it drives like a new truck. I have heard nothing but bad things about Moog recently, and I have been burned too many times by Oreillys and those big box stores.

    New Injectors or Get the Old Ones Cleaned?

    Hi guys I am going to either send my injectors to be cleaned, or replace them. Have any of you had your injectors cleaned by a place such as motorman fuel injection, Injection Masters, or Injector Rehab? Or other similar place? Did it work out ok, or did you end up wishing you just bought new...

    Major issues

    With that many codes, you might have a bad connection in the harness. It is pretty easy to miss a connector when you are doing something like that. I assume the engine you installed is a direct replacement? And yes, check for bad modules, solenoids, and fuses. This will require you to look at...

    Regear 2013 Expedition

    The Raptor, F150, and Gen 3 Expedition are 8.8 inch front differentials with 31 splines, so the Raptor front differential should work for you. Great way to avoid having to F with gears, backlash, and bearings. The only thing I can think of that might not work out is the CV joints - Raptor...

    2006 Ford Expedition Crank, no start with a lot of diagnostics...

    Good find. Situations like that can be hard because you don't know if the new parts were bad right out of the box (like Amazon parts) or if they were installed properly. I would be interested in hearing about what you find, so please keep us updated.

    Regear 2013 Expedition

    Go with 4:10s for 35s. I am not sure why you would need to go to scrap yards because you can get new ring/pinion for 410s from Ford, SVL, or Motive Gear. You can also get LSs, TruTracs (for the rear), and lockers. Either way, good luck and let us know how it goes.

    BEST OIL FOR 5.4 Tensioners?

    That is correct. Also, replacing the timing on a 2V is definitely some work, but is doable. Lots of nuts and bolts. Good chance for you to replace alot of the hoses and the water pump while you are in that deep.

    Bumper Valence?

    I would be surprised if it is available on parts.ford.com. If not, your best bet is a junk yard. Or did you already find a replacement part?

    Fuel pump on a 2008 EL

    Good plan. Let us know how it works out.

    My winch bumper build

    Nice work. I'd hire you to make me some bumpers if you weren't 2,000 mi away. Any thoughts about having to swing the spare tire away to open the rear liftgate? Probably unavoidable. I am enjoying the updates on this so please keep it coming. Thanks.

    Fuel pump on a 2008 EL

    Definitely good advice. I swap my fuel filter out every 15,000. It is easy to do, costs less than $20, and helps fuel pump last longer. Depressurize the fuel system using the schrader valve on the fuel rail before you remove the old filter. I am hyperactive about this stuff, but you might also...

    Suspension recommendations please

    Bilsteins are great, especially if you do any offroading. Motorcraft are actually good too, a little less stiff riding than the Bilsteins, and they last a long time. Back when I installed my Bilsteins, Motorcraft was about the same price. I would not recomend cheap Chinese or Amazon stuff. If...

    Raptor Wheel and 33-inch tire fitment question on a 2WD XLT

    @Expy82 The ride quality is way better than the old worn out Motorcraft struts. I did a post a couple years ago about my suspension upgrades and how it improved ride quality and handling. Mostly I did it for offroad performance, but it improved street performance, too. See link below. I agree...

    Raptor Wheel and 33-inch tire fitment question on a 2WD XLT

    I have 285/70/17 tires (33s) on mine. They fit with no rubbing before I installed the lift it has now. I am not aware of any significant difference in ride height between the 4x4 and RWD Expeditions, so it should work. I have read that the Raptor wheels somehow do not fit on the rear hubs...

    Reman’d 5.4L 2v installation

    Sounds like you did it right. Nice work. Did you swap out the injectors, or did you re-use the old ones? Thanks.

    '04 EB 5.4 - Transfer case issue

    Might this be two different problems - a) transfer case shifting, and b) some weird sound that seems associated with the throttle assembly? Like Yupster, the most common transfer case problem these have is the shift motor. Thats an easy fix (see Youtube). If it is not that, likely you are in for...

    Reman’d 5.4L 2v installation

    I would definitely be interested in hearing more about the swap. Thanks

    Reman’d 5.4L 2v installation

    If you don't get much response on this forum regarding the headers, you might try some of the Facebook pages for Expeditions and F150s. Seems to be more interest about modifications like that on these pages. I have seen posts on one of these from a guy saying he has done alot of 5.4 swaps and...

    AC Issue

    Cool. So you tracked it down by the hissing sound? How did you replace the schrader valve? Nice work.

    03 4x4 Wheel hub replacement - brand recommendations?

    I have had good luck with Napa parts, which I only get if Motorcraft is not available. Looking at whats available on Rockauto, Timken or AC Delco probably your best bets. Let us know how it works out.

    Chain Rattle 800 miles after doing timing job....

    @S20Workstation4 I have the same issue after replacing my tensioners with Melling cast iron (in addition to new chains, guides, oil pump). When I get myself psyched up I will pull the valve covers to evaluate the chain tension and condition of the roller followers and lash adjusters...

    2004 Brake Lines

    Nice job getting it figured out. My dumb question is where is that T, and is that a factory T or some kind of aftermarket setup? I have had my 04 since new and I have never seen that T.

    Issue with 2004 expedition 5.4

    After checking for vacuum leaks, the first things I would check are the catalytic converters and O2 sensors. Also, if you are using aftermarket vacuum hosing, make sure it fits together tight (I got burned by this). You should also check to see if the intake manifold is bad, which will cause...

    Blow head gasket? Help

    So when you moved the #1 coil to a different cylinder, did the misfire remain at cylinder 1, or did the misfire migrate to the cylinder you swapped that coil into? The misfire and white smoke don't make me feel fantastic about this, but most of time a misfire in a 2V is a bad coil, either from...
