Hi! its Kim again, a WHILE ago I posted a forum talking about a red 1999 expedition xlt 5.4l I have that has no keys and a toasted cylinder head. Well it finally happened! yesterday my new(old) 1998 (red) expedition xlt 5.4l showed up in my front yard!!
A little bit of info on this 98, it hit a tree doing 60mph. The front right shock tower and correlating fender is DESTROYED BUT after flipping the innersa switch, it starts!
SO whats it going to take to swap the motor, transmittion, transfercase, computer, pcm, door tumblers, and ignition switch over to my old expo which has an almost pristine body??????
I do have a few questions as well, what all is programmed to the pcm and has to be swapped over with it?
is there much of a difference between the wiring harnesses? (I've googled this one a lot and it seems there isn't but I can't be to sure)
The 98 has a moon roof that my dad wants to swap to my 99, can I just cut the headliner to make it fit?? (obviously making it pretty as I go)
I'm excited for this project and have been planning it for years and its finally happened, but its gonna be A LOT of work and there is a lot I still need to learn on the inner workings of these vehicles so any help is GREATLY appreciated!!
If anyone wants pictures I will happily take some
