the price differance is not even funny. after doing some research it seems alot of people have great luck with the ebay coild. we'll see what happends.

i need to do plugs/coild in my expedition i think i'll go with these also when i do it.

i went alittle spending crazy this month, so i'll have to wait till next month to get a few more mods. main things i want are f-350 blocks to level it out and a light bar on the front. plus some rear/side aux lighting but i want it hidden pretty well...still working on that.

You can use the hi pressure wand if you direct it lightly around the sensitve areas, like the cop boots, alternator etc. Done it many times.

Generally my interior is just super dirty. Full of clothes, shoes, books, and always a macdonalds or burger king bag acting as the temporary garbage can! but always keep the engine clean to see leaks, or watch them haha and outside is shiny or close to it since im in L.A.

I clean my engine compartment twice a year, once in spring, once in fall. If I try in the winter, it turns into a block of ice!

my other two excursions were pretty clean under the hood...this one is nasty. i've pressure washed under the hood many times as i used to own/run my own auto detailing biz. just the issues i was having with the miss i didnt want it to mess with trying to figure it out. that should not be a issue anymore with the new coils.

i have the say the interior/exterior i keep as spotless as possible. i do need to clean up under the hood but i'm going to wait untill summer though.

now my explorer...its so clean under its hood you can eat off it!
