    mall crawling 101

    Hey, I have no problems with your truck at all. I'm quite inspired by all the work that you've done to your truck, and in such a short time. Hell I've had mine since January and don't even have it all patched up yet... but anyways, I was simply commenting that the tires look really skinny, even...

    fords biggest mistake

    Ford was just five years too early, I guess... But, then again, by 2005 the Expedition got bigger and wouldn't have really competed with the SRT8 Grand Cherokee...

    Hey, I wasn't trying to be mean or critical or anything... I was just genuinely curious about how narrow those tires were... :(

    mall crawling 101

    Man, what size are your tires, 195? They're even narrower than stock... Which is great for mudding, but not so much for regular all-purpose off-roading...

    12V Outlet Fuse?

    Are you sure the outlet even has a fuse of its own? Its probably run by the same fuse as the dash lights or something. Are you sure the outlet is dead? Sometimes the plugs have to be positioned a certain way or there's a fuse in the plugs...

    My 97 5.4L XLT

    Oh, okay, no worries then. I thought it was the moulded stuff like on my dad's old 96 F-150... :)

    if theres a reason to not build up truck guess this is it

    That's a really nice house.... but really, a 40x60 garage? Yikes, that's huge! A friend of the family has a 40x60 shop that's about 2½ storeys... but, then again, he built his to house a big rig + trailer. Either way, congratulations on the new purchase. :)

    My 97 5.4L XLT

    If you can get the chrome wheel trim off without ruining it, I may be interested in buying it from you.... :)

    My 97 5.4L XLT

    I would say with a chrome surround and bumper, leave the guard chrome. If you paint the surround and bumper, then a black one would work. Just my 2¢

    looking for pics of factory radio

    I have the radio with the casette and 6-disc changer under the seat (bench). The radio isn't the same in fact the actual component is about the size of a single DIN radio and its on the bottom portion of the face, IIRC. If you check out this auction, it shows a picture of the back. HTH :)

    What's your spare tire tire set up?

    You know I came across a thread yesterday on Pirate4x4 where someone had this same setup in a 97 4Runner... then they chopped the top off behind the doors... say, has anyone done an Expedition chop top? :D

    What's your spare tire tire set up?

    As long as you put the smaller sized wheel on a non-drive wheel you're good to go. IE if one of the back tires blow, take one from the front and put it there and put the spare on the front (providing you're not using 4WD). As for my spare, my truck didn't have one when I got it so I found a...

    2004 Expedition Clunk Noise in Reverse

    U-joints are a good start. Not sure what the rear suspension is like in the '04s but we had a similar problem in our '89 K1500 and it had bad shocks as well as bad u-joints so it would clunk going into gear.

    Coolant leak explained?

    I bought my truck a while back but only recently have had the funds to start doing the work to it that it needed. When I bought it, I was told that it needed a head gasket on the left bank as it was leaking coolant and overheating. Other than that, it drove good. I haven't managed to get it...

    Electric Fans - Is there really a power increase?

    After doing some looking and checking, there seems to be a fair bit of common items between my 97 Expedition and the 98 Windstar parts van we have in the yard. I've already grabbed the starter and the positive battery cable and I noticed that the radiators are the same size within 1" in either...

    Warranty Recall

    You can also put in your VIN on the Ford website and it'll tell you if there's any recalls on your vehicle. I ran mine and it said no recalls so I'm assuming its been fixed.

    This cubbyhole: I only have premium sound so no subs... :(

    Wheels Compatible?

    Yeah they changed to 6 lug for the 03 restyle. Anything from a 97-02 Expedition or up to 04 Heritage F-150 will work, as long as they're 16" or bigger to clear the brakes.

    expy teardown

    Is that a factory sub and amp setup? I'm thinking about trying to mount an aftermarket sub in that same location but I'm a little hesitant to lose that handy cubbyhole...

    I cant hide them anymore....

    If you have DRLs I'd say tap into those. Otherwise, perhaps splice them in to the marker lights so they come on with park lights?

    New to me 1997 XLT

    I'm hoping that by polishing and buffing the fading of the graphics will come out. If not, then, well, I'm not sure what I'll do! Also, vinyl wraps would be preferable to actual decals, IMO. Well, barring the graphics only being on the windows of course! :)

    New to me 1997 XLT

    Finally had to take the Grape outside so my brother could work on his van. First time its been in the daylight since I took the graphics off... it looks pretty good! Size... it does matter... :D This is my other car, a '90 Mazda MX-6.
