Thanks for the heads up before I went all buck wild! haha I hope you and your family are doing well brother. Can't wait to see the next update!

 

I already have a build thread for our expedition and other trucks Russ you should probably check it out when you get the chance.

will do!


so tonight i changed the oil and attempted to fix my A4wd problem. i pulled the shift motor so i could get to the front HALL sensor in the t-case. pulled it out an cleaned it off. only had a small amount of metal dust on it. went ahead and cleaned the rear one also again. disconnected the battery and then tried it. NOPE! still get a flashing A4wd light. 4hi and 4low work perfectly. so i suppose my next step is to change both HALL sensors in the t-case and work from there. weird it just all of a sudden died this fall.


sitting at 87,707 after i went and got gas tonight.

 

Looking great Russ. I know you like showing off in other forums so check out this thread I started: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post12780318

how you like that mobile one?

 

(personal usage not talking for Russ or trying to hijack his thread) I have used mobile one on the 97 Expedition of ours and personally love it. ours is about due for an oil change soon and the truck hasn't lost a drop even and ours is a high mileage truck. I am very satisfied with it if they don't have Valvoline next time I get oil for the oil changes (I use valvoline usually along with Castrol GTX) I will use the Mobile one again.

i've been using mobile 1 synthetic in my all trucks ever since i started driving. i've differed a few times but always go back. it doesnt seem to get nearly as dirty over the same mileage as others i have tried and everyone says its great so i just stick with it.

my Expy has the the typical oil seepage on the oil filter remote mount. seems to be very common on the trucks that have them. but i think over 5-7k miles i loose maybe a quart give or take alittle bit. its not much.

 

i got a free trailer today, needs some work. thinking new paint, tires, lights, tarp, pack the wheel bearings and put some fenders on it. very well built!

 

Russ it looks great you are lucky when I put a trailer on our expy the rear end is completely lowered (it needs new shock absorbers I believe).

my buddys 98 which is almost identical to mine option wise sags in the rear, mine sits about 1.5" higher then the front idk why.


so tonight i replaced the running board lights and door lights, plate lights with LEDs

before


after




also ordered and installed discontinued silver star turn signal bulbs. i love the blueish look when they are off.

 

Reminds me what burned put bulbs look like

 

rolled 88K miles the other day, she keeps on truckin!

got alittle snow on her the other day.




we got a close family friend who just moved up here a 2002 expy so i had to get pics together haha

 

some random shots from the last few weeks. i need to get pics of the LED interior lights i put in. about 20x brighter then stock and thats awesome because with 2 dome lights it gets dark in the big expy!


we had a good snow storm the other day, 12-20" depending on what part of town you were in. i'll give you a slight time lapse of the event.

the night before, we had 6" that day and i had cleared the expy off. this was 10pm


the next night at 11pm





is this considered expy abuse? lol




pic today of my expy, dads explorer and my explorer.

 

Your pictures never cease to amaze me.

 

Love your license plate, tells so much

Could you tell me which brand and model jacks stands do you use? Clearance looks perfectly nice.
