    Odd running gear noise

    With the transmission engaging overdrive, I would expect a RPM change. My 2000 XLT has a enable/disable OD switch. Another thought would be the torque converter being switched to locked mode and that may not necessarily change the RPM.

    1st Gen Expy Were DRL Stock?

    Question.... does the Expy have to be built in Canada or just DESTINED for the Canadian market at time of manufacture?

    @Eric in Wyoming "getting a later model PI engine" I am too new to this forum to decipher the "PI" in PI engine. Could I trouble you to enlighten me here? (Wild guess police interceptor...)

    A few problems maybe someone can help with

    There was a recall on the cruise control system. My cruise control stopped working and I took it to Ford to fix. They replaced a module, as part of the recall, and it began working again. May you be so lucky here. :happy107:

    I too have been thinking about underwriting a power train overhaul. A limiting factor, in my opinion, has to be how to address unattainable parts. For example, the discontinued fuel tank. Being made of plastic, they are developing cracks in their old age. Consequently, the tank will fail its...

    Could the "binding" be valve touching piston? My thinking is if you're turning only the cam, and not the crank, things are liable to "touch" each other.

    Towing Question

    My 2000 XLT 4.6L 2wd's towing "weak link" is the rear bumper (I might be overly optimistic here as asking a 21 year old transmission to tow may be the real weak link!). It has its towing "capabilities" stamped onto the bumper itself. And the numbers thereon (400 lbs tongue, 4000 lbs towing) and...

    Need To Replace My Fuel Tank

    Intriguing idea. The issue is see is that I am under the impression, and please correct me if I am wrong, that the black circular "nipple" that the smoke is pouring out of is "welded" onto the tank. I seem to recall reading that the part is sonically welded to the tank during the manufacturing...
