#61 of 1700 paint problem by mnatoli Oct 28, 2000 (3:34 am)
I have just purchased a 2000 4x2 EB Expy. Think I got a good deal. Loaded with second row captains chairs, third row seating, heated seats, towing package, 5.4 L engine, 6 Cd changer, power everything. Payed 34,600 with .9% financing. One problem. The truck is clearcoat black with gold trim. I love the color but it seems that the hood and top of the vehicle has what seems to be acid rain damage. I noticed this on the first truck I took delivery on and returned it. The deal, Banner Ford in Atlanta Ga, gave me a new vehicle that I have now noticed has the same problem. I went to a new dealer and showed him the truck. He said that it is normal and unavoidable to have this problem and that my truck was in better shape than the 2000 models he has on the lot, especially the black Expys. I told him that I would return my truck and buy from him but he said that he honestly would not have anything in his inventory in better shape. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS "ACID RAIN" DAMAGE IS SO COMMON. Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do?

It may be more likely that it is hard water marks left over from their washing (unless of course they dried it off). I have had three black cars (two Fords) and have never had any trouble. Try using a glaze on some of the spots, and I'm sure you will see the marks go away. Make no mistake about black though, it is one of the hardest colors to maintain. It shows everything - swirls, buffing marks, hard water spots. Looks great when cleaned and dried though.
#63 of 1700 Tire Inflation by cdreier Nov 06, 2000 (6:19 pm)
My 2000 Expy, Eddie Bauer, has General "Grabbers". The door sticker says to inflate the front tires to 26PSI, the rear to 30 PSI. The tires themselves show a maximum PSI of 44. Are we seeing the same thing here with under-inflated tires as on the Explorer? I'm a little concerned about this. Any thoughts??
#64 of 1700 approaching recall? by sanandton Nov 10, 2000 (1:39 am)
Had one of the local dealer/mgrs in the office today. He indicated that there is an approaching recall on the Expeditions. Seems an "O" ring in the gas line somewhere is faulty. Causes leaks etc. ala the Space shuttle tragedy. At least that explains the strong gasoline odor I have oozing from our 2000 Expedition.
#65 of 1700 For Post #40-Suspension Squeak by jtmoney1 Nov 14, 2000 (4:46 am)
I also got a rear squeak after we went to a "mud-in" up in NC. Try this- open the back door and notice two black bumpers midway up the door frame. Use some sort of lubrication on both sides of each one. Also lube up the part that touches it on the door. If you don't have any lube oil, use cooking oil for a temp fix. Open and shut the door 10 times and take for a ride. JTMoney
#66 of 1700 '01 Expy EBs Factory Video by sstaylor Nov 30, 2000 (4:15 pm)
Hello to all, I am getting close to lease-end on my '98 Expy EB, and I am trying to decide between an '01 EB or a minivan. Has anyone seen the factory installed rear seat video system? I've been looking, but I can't find one. There are several aftermarket systems out there, but I would prefer one from the factory. TIA, SST
#67 of 1700 OEM Rear Seat Ent. System by akirby Dec 01, 2000 (3:04 pm)
I just had one retrofitted to my 99. It's made by Visteon. I paid $1650 including tax and installation plus another $100 for the wireless headphones. It replaces the rear A/C controls and the installer tells me that they no longer make the model with the FM modulation so you can use the wireless headphones or tune the vehicle radio to hear the audio, so check with the dealer before you order it. It works great. I like the VCR position. Only problem is running the wires for the headphones so they're out of the way but that just requires some velco or a hook attached to the headliner. The quality is great but the TV tuner is very weak. I didn't buy it for that so I don't care. An external antenna is probably available. Audiovox makes a similar system but costs more because it replaces the entire overhead console. But it does keep the rear A/C controls. But the VCR mounts under the seat and is not as convenient. I highly recommend it.
#68 of 1700 Homelink garage opener by akirby Dec 01, 2000 (3:15 pm)
I want to retrofit the new Homelink garage opener to my 99. I have one in my Lincoln LS and it's great. In my Lincoln it's in the visor but the parts guy couldn't find a visor with the controls. Does anyone know where the opener is mounted in the 2001?
#69 of 1700 Auto Climate Control by ric1035 Dec 05, 2000 (4:53 am)
when you set it on any temperature (ex. 74), the fan never shuts off even when it reaches that temperature, it always stays on about a notch up from the fan's lowest setting. i'm having to lower the fan manually. asked the dealer, they said this was normal. is this true? does everyone works the same way? i rented a 2000 volvo sedan and it works like our a/c heater thermostat at home, it goes off when it reaches the temperature desired. thanks

Mine works the same way
