    WTH is this ticking/banging noise!?

    The ticking noise is most likely the injector. The injectors are known to be loud. There is not a performance problem related to this, just noise. I've had it in my 04 with the 5.4L for quite some time.

    Sleeping Platform

    I've slept in the back of my 04 many times. There's plenty of room. I just used an air mattress. Your system looks a lot more comfortable and functional.

    06 Expedition Oil

    I started using Mobile 1 5W-20 when the odometer hit 96,000. I have changed oil and filter never going past 5,000 miles between changes. The odometer is currently at 178,500. No problems. Still has plenty of power. Runs and idles great.

    I have coolant leak

    Is this a problem others have seen? I was hoping this would be a DIY fix. I would love to hear some suggestions. I can't tell where its coming from.

    I have coolant leak

    Just below the thermostat ( not the housing itself but about two inches lower) coolant seems to be leaking/seeping. Not enough to drip on the ground but enough to make the front of the engine wet and gooey. Its a 2004 5.4L. I was getting ready to change the plugs when I noticed the goo on top...

    Nothing yet. Mine's empty. Can't think of anything to put in there.

    How do you remove the door panel?

    There seems to be something loose rattling inside the driver's door. When I roll the window down it makes scraping noise too. I guess 7 years of slamming the door has worked something loose. I tried to remove the door panel with no success. Took out the 3 screws and it still didn't budge...

    what transmission do I have?

    The tag inside the door frame says I have a 'W' but my owners manual says that is a 5 speed manual and I have an automatic with O/D. Any ways to determine what I have before I go and change fluid and filter? 04 with 5.4L. Thanks for your help.
