    Front end noise after hitting a bump

    Today my Ex started to make a terrible sound from the front left wheel area. I hit a good pot hole. Hey it's Michigan Roads! The Ex made this horrible sound like splines not enguaging. Not a gear grind. More of a loud medium pitched whir. Now it will do this when ever I hit a bump. I can...

    Keyless Remote Problems

    Hey Guys! Here is my problem. My remote works according to the display at Autozone, but my Ex doesnt do a thing no matter what button I push. One day the Ex just stopped responding to the remote. I changed the battery in the remote thinking that was it, but no. Where do I go from...

    Fast idle?

    Back in the 90's the ambulances we used had a separate modoule monted on the dash that you could idle up if sitting for any time with the lights on. Just wonder how something like that would interface or if they still make such a thing that we could install. Chewman

    Rear End Whine

    Picked up a rear end whine recently. Comes on at about 65mph and gets softer the faster you go. Sound goes away if you find the right throttle position to float the drive train - remove presure. No vibrations. Gear lube is topped off. Axle bearings look good on each end. I'm thinking...

    Oil Anti-Scuff Compounds

    A friend of mine was saying that the oil we are buying will soon not have the same anti-scuff compounds in it and that the new compounds, that are more catalytic converter friendly, are not as effective. He was advising me to use power service's oil addative. Have any of you heard this...

    Front Axle's Not Engaging

    Hey guys! I need some advice. When I put my 2001 Ex in 4x4 the front end isnt locking in. The lockouts are automatics that at one time you could chose to manually lock, but they are stuck in the auto position. I popped them off yesterday and took the lockouts a part and they looked...

    Throttle Steer

    Update on my throttle steer: After inspecting everything I found that the drop arm (tie-rod end) that connects to the pitman arm was bad. I had replaced it with a MOOG part already, but it went bad after a couple weeks. Replaced it again and I've had no further throttle steer. Must have...

    Throttle Steer

    I'd hate to dissassemble the wrong sides springs, so If I am throttling up and it wants to turn left, throttle down and it wants to go right, what side would you look at first? I would look at the right side first because that's what I hit, but if throttling up wouldn't it slide the rearend...

    Throttle Steer

    Thanks for the heads up. I was hoping it was the suspension design and me not missing any damage.

    Throttle Steer

    I have read alot about the Ex's rear end and springs causeing the vehicle to steer over bumps or with the throttle but I never experienced it with mine until now. I was out scouting a new spot to hunt and on the way back was rounding a right corner when I had to veer hard to the right side to...

    Before you go out to eat

    Ok, My favorite chinese take out place is all over that site with a bad reputation. The only thing I didnt see was "Skinned cats found hanging on the wall" as a violation. Now I am sad!

    Talk about the 7.3L CPS Here!

    I just had my 01 Excursion start a couple weeks back with an intermittent engine shut-off that would cause it to buck really hard like if you turned off the ignition on a gas vehicle. Late last week I finally got an SES with error code, and it was for the CPS. Changed it out over the weekend...

    Fourth row seating.

    THe back seat out of a an early bronco would work well for this. The 3 seat belts are all lap belts and they are mounted onto the seat. All you'd need to get are the 2 front pins, their mounts that attached to the floor, and the rear mount and bar that attaches to the floor. If you put it all...
