They also make a coil conversion for no more air bag problems on these trucks.

eh.  they were the stock bags.  i think im good for another 10+ years. 

now i got the "maintenance bug"

new shocks front and rear, new brakes, oil change, transmission fluid and filter change, coolant change...



fun stuff.  ive had like 8 mustangs previously and this is my first "truck"... i must say its WAAAAAAY easier to work on.  i think i did the rear brakes and shocks in about an hour.

dash is ready to come out.  tomorrow ill drain the radiator, pull the dash off, swap cores, blend door, and start putting shit back together.

Looks like a lot of work

You're crazy all that work to get rid of it

I sold a 7.3(worst thing I ever did was sell it)

I would steer clear of a 6.oh

Those years will need head studs, egr, oil cooler and a turbo.  Will cost you 7 grand to make it a dependable runner.

I sold my diesel and went with a new Gasser because they are low maintenance as all hell and always work. My new truck takes hills slower and I can't smokescreen the civic behind me at the stoplight...  I would take your expedition to the river pulling the boat over any stock  6.0

Don't let me taint your decision, just go online and read the horror stories.

Keep your foot out of it, keep up on the maintenance and you would see probably 17-20 if your lucky on a bone stock 6oh(no) powerstroke. If your that die hard about it you could get a 04 excursion and swap in a 05-06 6.0 engine. 03-04's were the big problem child 05's were better but the 06 motor if I remember correctly had all the querks worked out. But if your lucky you can still find a 7.3 ex under 150k for around 10. There's one right now at a used lot right now for 13k and its got 90 on the od that belongs to the guy that owns the lot. Wifes in the air about it or it would be in my drive way. 7.3 would be the way to go 6ohs can be good motors if taken care of and have a few mods done to them. The 6.4 is hit an miss. $600 chip and tunes and your in the 600hp range with no other supporting mods but if your fuel system craps 12k just to repair it. And the 6.7 seems to be a great motor unless you mod the hell out of it then the pistons like to window the block.

Mr . KaOtyk..   I have the same heater prob  with my 99 chevy.  the dash needs to come out to replace the heater core...  is it  really that big of a deal  or is it just a bunch of phillips  head screws  and some duct work..   i am  a bit scared..  how many hours do you think you had in that job?  Dont get me wrong  i can  turn a few wrenches ...  just trying to  get an idea....  thanks   robbie

ive done 2 mustangs and now my expedition heater cores.  its not difficult work, but it usually requires removing a LOT of stuff just to get back there.  it helps if you can find a howto online so that you only remove whats required... i followed one that was a ford manual but someone had actually gone through and made edits with "skip this step, not necessary" it also helped me with the "quick disconnects" that ford uses for their heater core lines... if i didnt read or see the pictures i wouldve been back there hacking away trying to get em off.

even still it was a good 7-8 hour job start to finish.  a lot of screws, bolts, etc.

Depends on what model your 99 is...
Tahoe? 1500? There was a body style change around there that I have experience with. If its old body style at that time, steering column has to come out and the dash has hinge points it will pivot on and lean on your front seat. Like my 96 2500 work truck. That will expose the box that has heater core and evaporator core in it.

If its the latter, it'd be like my 02 half ton daily driver, in which you'd only have to remove the glove box door to get to the box that contains heater and evaporator core.
