#10 of 1827 how do i work air suspension? by expoman1 Mar 12, 2002 (5:12 pm)
I have a 97 expedition that my dad game me and I had no idea its has air suspension for like 3 years now! how does it work?
#11 of 1827 It works on its own by gasguzzler007 Mar 14, 2002 (5:02 pm)
there is no need to do anything. There is a switch in the passenger area where the feet are. If it is on then the air suspension is operating. You probably have air bags in the back. When the car senses a heavy load, it automatically lifts about 1in I believe. You might hear a buzzing sound for about 5 seconds, thats normal. Make sure to have the suspension turned off when your car goes on a lift or when changing a tire. This may cause damage. Later.   Gasguzzler007
#12 of 1827 Smoking Expedition by expowner Mar 26, 2002 (8:15 am)
Bodyman,   Did you ever get an answer to your smoking problem? I have a 2001 Exp. (4.6L) with 10k miles with the same problem.   Also, do you notice any oil loss?   THANKS
#13 of 1827 TSB website? by compman5 Mar 27, 2002 (10:49 am)
Can anyone provide the URL for the website that lists all the TSB's issued for the Expedition? I saw it on Edmunds quite some time ago, and can't remember the address. Thanks!

I need some advice. I'm looking to buy a 2000 expedetion and I wanted to know if the bigger engine is the way to go. I live in Colorado & will take it to the mountains some of the time but not real often. Will it make that much of a difference which enging I choose. Also, what are the commone prices for a 2000 eddie bauer. Thanks Replies to this message: rjerome (Jun 20, 2005 3:31 pm)
#16 of 1827 Towing with 2WD 4.6L by enoch777 Apr 15, 2002 (3:02 pm)
Do I need to purchase the tow package or any thing else to tow about 1000 lbs cross county.
#17 of 1827 Towing by gasguzzler007 Apr 16, 2002 (4:45 am)
enoch777, you need to get the towing package because it comes with a hitch. If you already have a hitch then I dont see why you would need it. I have it on my Expy although I dont tow.
#18 of 1827 EXPowner/smoking Expedition by bodyman Apr 19, 2002 (7:53 pm)
Sorry to keep you waiting for an answer. I stopped seeing the smoke after about 800 miles. I saw no noticeable oil consumption in that time. It now has over 3000 mi. and one oil change, with no problems. The dealership has not seen the truck since my initial complaint, as I am not convinced it won't reappear. My guess is that I had a valve seal not seated correctly. The only other concern I have is the overdrive and converter lock-up engaging at such low speeds (around town). I frequently use the OD off switch. It also takes only the VERY slightest pedal pressure at highway speeds to make it kick down momentarily. I see the tach go up several hundred RPM and then drop again, like the trans, is slipping. Is this normal with other owners? I have the 3:55 rear. Good luck with yours, and keep us posted.
#19 of 1827 overdrive flashing off by fordownr Apr 23, 2002 (4:13 pm)
I assume that you have already fixed this problem, but I had the same problem - it turned out to be a defective solenoid in the transmission housing.
