Also try and get an OASIS report from the dealer on your vehicle. It will provide a host of information on what was previously done to the vehicle.
Oh and by the way, it is much easier for aftermarket warranty work to be denied (even if it is a Ford ESP) than it is for the OEM / Dealer to deny...
I have had / and in some cases still have good relationships with service writers and managers at some of the dealerships I use. However, over the last 5 years the rules by which dealers are mandated to operate and be reimbursed by OEMs have changed substantially. Where it used to be the service...
Sorry, but I disagree with the above. Years ago this was the case and if you returned your vehicle to the stock factory tune before taking it in for service there was no issue. I know for a fact that today both GM and Ford can tell if the ECU has been flashed, when it was flashed (the last 3 or...
My Gen 3 Expys (have 2) are the first of the dozens of vehicles I have owned where the rear pads ALWAYS wear out before the front. What S20 said above does make sense though, if that is the case, where the rears are being applied by the vehicle AdvanceTrac / ABS system without drivers knowledge...
Excellent Advice. I have a battery maintainer with a quick connect pigtail on every vehicle we own. If any of them won't be used for a week - or we will be loading for a trip over a period of days with opening and closing of doors and hatches, they are on the battery maintainer.
Does your Expy have power running boards and when sitting around are you opening and closing the doors (activating the running boards) and / or the rear hatch. I have found that when loading / unloading or cleaning my Expy over a period of time, the running boards and rear hatch activation will...
Last time I traded an Expedition, I had the dealer swap crappy Hankook tires on the new vehicle for the Michelins on my trade in. They were happy to do it as they could then sell my trade in with brand new tires, which they obviously did not recognize as low quality.
I torque mine with a torque wrench in a cross pattern, but I'm sure the dealer mechs that did warranty work on my trucks from time to time did not, just blasted them on with an air wrench in a circular pattern like a NASCAR pit crew, LOL
Ford Expy OEM rotors are known to warp and cause slight pulsing on soft braking and a vibration / shaking when hard braking (my 11, 14 and 17 all had this "undocumented feature" from early on (10K-15K) miles. I had the 2011 cut at 12,000 by Ford under warranty because it showed no pad wear. and...
Here is everything you need to know about 2019 towing and how to tell the difference between the base tow (included with the vehicle) and the HD Tow (option code 536) which includes the items listed. I've also attached the full 2019 trailer tow guide in .PDF format below as well.
Rather than screw around with the interior of the vehicle, I would do what is suggested above and rent a trailer. If whatever you are moving needs to remain clean and dry, I would rent an enclosed trailer. Small trailer can't be much to rent.
You being north, I would have a serious look underneath at all frame and suspension components. We have a 2007 Tahoe with only 81,000 miles, it was our primary winter vehicle in the northeast for 10 years (now a secondary vehicle). Take a look at some of the salt / liquid calcium chloride damage...
5.4 3 valve engines have issues with the roller followers that sit between the overhead cams and the valves. The cams push down on these followers, which, in turn, push down on the valves to open and close them. Access to these and other valve train components is by removing the valve covers...
Sorry to hear that. There are a few different posts on here about engine swap options. Sounds like you would not do the swap yourself, so first step is get with a good shop that can (and has done) this work. Then figure out what the costs are. I would go with a completely rebuilt long block as...
If you lost oil pressure while driving, putting oil in the cylinders at this point will be of no help as the main and rod bearings will seize first which may be what is keeping the engine from turning.
If there was still oil pressure and the engine is locked up, then there may be a rocker...
I have a 2020 European sports / luxury car that has a fully digital console stretching from the drivers side through the center of the dash. The large center display has many layers of touch menus. The saving grace is the designers realized the need for hard buttons / controls and they have...
Under what circumstances is this happening? Try starting the vehicle on a cool morning with the HVAC system set to off and see what it does.

First step is scan the vehicle and then go from there.
An ODBII Drive cycle is intended to bring system monitors online. Example being you disconnect the battery to change it. After reconnecting you may not have any codes, but scanning the system will reveal a number of systems that are not...
This is all part of manufacturers and owners being forced down the EV road. Look at the interior of a Tesla and you will see. I was in the IT systems business for over 30 years and if anyone would be comfortable with using large touch screens, it would be me - and I am, BUT NOT when I'm supposed...
