Hello. I am new to this forum and I thought I would introduce myself. I have a 2000 Expedition XLT 4wd with the 5.4. I purchased this used in 2005 and it has performed well for me. The family and I travel to the outerbanks almost every summer and enjoy taking it on the beach. The past two years we have towed a 20' yamaha jet boat down with us with no major issues. It has also seen its fair share of some major snowfall here in Maryland. Love the 4wd. I admit I have put very little time or effort into it since I have owned it other than waxing and general maintenance.
My primary toy has been my 89 Mustang LX. It has a slightly
modded 306. It is a weekend warrior that is driven to the track and has run a best of 10.44 @ 129mph on drag radials. That was even run through high flow cats.... which is very rare on drag cars @ this power level.
But I need to now turn some of my attention to my Expedition. I have begun some mods recently. I have installed slotted/drilled rotors to replace my warped stock rotors. I have also installed a new stereo system. I have purchased PMT upper and lower control arms to replace my stock rusted ones. Also purchased some Edelbrock IAS shocks to replace my stock well used ones. Hope to install these soon as soon as the weather allows. I believe my next mod will be front and rear ring & pinion change. I am debating between 4.10's and 3.73's. I would like to start upping the HP also..... but carefully planning this as I need to maintain the reliability.
Well I can go on and on.... but will wrap this post up and get into more details in future post.

. I feel the gears would be the best bang for the buck but the programmer would be a lot easier. Hummm.
