    Hey all, Came back from an out of town ski trip this weekend and my 2000 Expedition EB Model (V8-5.4L) was running rough as I came back into town and it turned on the CEL. Felt like a bad cop (last time I had one go bad was about 5 years ago). Scanner showed code P0304 (lucky me, cyl 4...

    L/R Brake Lights not working, Center High Brake light works

    2000 Expedition, Eddie Bower, 5.4L. Had to haul some stuff to the dump with a trailer that I use occasionally. Now my L/R Brake Lights don't work on the truck, and not to the trailer either. Not shown in any of the manuals, but I believe that there is a factory relay tow connector package...

    Idle Air Control Valve (IAC)

    This was easy diagnosis and repair, once I figured out where the IAC on my rig was actually located (2000 EB). Symptoms: Tried to start, fired and immediately shut down. Found I could start if I pressed a little on the gas pedal. No service light or codes being thrown off while it was running...

    Proceedure to replace grille on 2000 EB 5.4

    Just had a good day replacing my 2000 EB 5.4 Grille (seemed like a much better way to spend the morning than going to the Black Friday Sales). From the picture, you can see the original grille is chipped and the black center part is pretty well faded. The new grille came from 1A...

    2000 EB 5.4 AWD Shocks (standard springs)

    My tire man tells me my original equipment shocks are leaking at 189K miles. Just drove a 1600 mile trip and handling is still pretty good, but may be better with new shocks. After searching the threads, I could not find any definitive recommendation for my configuration. I am looking at...

    Help ASAP please, Oil Pressure Switch

    I was trying to change out the oil pressure switch, due to the issue with the "idiot gauge" showing zero pressure until the oil warmed up. Anyway, got the old one out ok, put the new one in, treaded it halfway by hand, then put the socket to it. Snugged it up and started the motor to check for...
