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.

(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.

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.

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