2000 expedition Rear glass will not latch
My bad, thought you meant a mod like with a hacksaw or grinder. I had to widen the slots too.- jr1under

2000 expedition Rear glass will not latch
Ok, you already knew there's an aftermarket fix costing a whole lot less than a new cable. I used these on my Exp and F150, they fit perfectly, all the prep I had to do was clean off the remnants of the original end. And then make sure the end-piece slot was rotated away from the opening...- jr1under

2000 expedition Rear glass will not latch
By 'link', do you mean the thin braided wire cable going between the handle and the lock?- jr1under

2000 expedition Rear glass will not latch
On mine, the cylinders for both are attached to the moving part - the glass and hatch. No definite reason for doing it that way other than that's how they were when I last changed them.- jr1under

Where to start, and what to keep eyes out for?
Other than the already obvious problems, I would look skeptically at every hose in the vehicle, especially the smaller, thinner vacuum lines like those underneath the throttle body cover. That is a HUGE project and I'd love to see updates of your progress.- jr1under

P0171/P0174
The most likely suspects have already been named but I once had the above two symptoms on my wife's F150 and it turned out that a rodent had chewed a hole in the vent hose above the tank. It was easy to get this picture of the top of the F150's tank but I can't find a place to take one of the...- jr1under

Power Distribution Relay Box?
From what I've read in this thread and elsewhere, Ford did not produce documentation for any of the 1997 mini fuse boxes.- jr1under

Engine Studder, No Codes
This may not be relevant to your 7-minute problem but... I had a P0304 in 2018, fixed it with a new, aftermarket COP. But soon after another coil on the same bank failed and eventually all 4 on bank 1 went bad and were replaced. Then the fails started repeating on the new COPs. Cutting to the...- jr1under

FORSCAN on Gen1
I can answer only a small part of your questions but this Mode $06 data is a test of the EGR hoses.- jr1under

Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway
The picture of the intake was before cleaning it a few years ago. Hadn't gone beyond that though which is why the surprise at how relatively clean the other parts looked. All I ended up doing was spray cleaning the EGR and reinstalling it. And losing a 10mm socket.- jr1under

Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway
Is this the bolt that broke? Your situation is the worst, inspecting what turns out to be a non-problem but breaking something else in the process. How to turn an hour into three days.- jr1under

Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway
Gotta admit, I had to look up what a pintle is, learned it's sometimes paired to a gudgeon. Still not exactly sure so I'm posting multiple pictures. The EGR came off easier than expected, nothing was corroded in place. It also looks way better than expected considering how bad the TB intake...- jr1under

Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway
Haven't done it before but suppose I can inspect one end of it by pulling off the EGR valve. Would have to do that anyway if the whole TB assembly needs cleaning. Pulling out the assembly seems simple enough but I'm always leery of unintended consequences when doing something for the first...- jr1under

Cleaning throttle body to EGR valve passageway
Let me restate the question... I've read a lot in this forum and elsewhere about P0401(Insufficient EGR Flow) in Gen1's. Consensus is the first fix attempted should be to clean the throttle body and its passageway to the EGR valve. Is it worthwhile to clean the passageway now even though...- jr1under

Stuck oil filter
That's a great solution...if you checked that the filter would loosen before draining the oil. I never have but will from now on!- jr1under
