Coil Bolts
I tried the bolt without the coil and couldn't get it started. The threads on the bolt itself seem to be fine. I assume the hole is boogered up. It's hard to see with it being the farthest back cylinder.- Doug Kuhlman

Coil Bolts
2004 Ford Expedition I've owned the truck for about a year. Place i bought it from said they did a tune up. I recently was having a misfire on #7. I was shocked when i went to look at it that #7 and #8 coils were flopping around. The coil bolts weren't tightened down. I replaced the #7 coil...- Doug Kuhlman

Intermittent crank no start
Autumn Red, Wow, that was some hit! So, since I already have a replacement and am donating the car, I have lost interest in fixing it. But, you guys had me curious so I hard wired the fuel pump by unplugged the connector from the fuse box and running a wire from the battery to the...- Doug Kuhlman

Cheap TPMS solution
I just picked up a new to me '04 Expedition that had some bad TPMS sensors.

They don't...- Doug Kuhlman

Intermittent crank no start
Just following up.... It will not start at all now and the fuel pump is dead. With sadness, I am going to donate the truck to charity. The engine is still strong, 249k on the clock, but the rust is winning. I found another '04 to replace it with only 102K miles and I still have my '08 too.- Doug Kuhlman

Brake Help
oh, sorry JExpedition07 I just now noticed your question at the bottom of the thread. I guess you had no problem. I have replaced brake hoses several times in a couple different vehicles and this was the first and hopefully only time I have this problem.- Doug Kuhlman

Intermittent crank no start
My 2004 Expy 5.4 has been having an intermittent no start condition. It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes when you have gone for a drive and come back to restart it (still warm). Cranks, but will not start. Go back later, and it fires right up like nothing was wrong. The check...- Doug Kuhlman

Brake Help
I was able to get the end flared! So, I didn't need to replace any line. I straightened the end and filed it square. Then I deburred the inside and chamfered the end with a file. I used a different double flare tool. This tool was a loaner, but it was brand new. It had a better clamping...- Doug Kuhlman

Brake Help
Retiredusps, I like your solution since it doesn't require any flares to be made. But, I might give the flare another try first since it would save a lot of work if I don't have to replace the entire line. The flare tool from another parts store looks better than the one I tried. I'm...- Doug Kuhlman

Brake Help
2008 Expedition Limited: I'm in a bit of a pickle. I replaced the front passenger side brake hose since that side was sticking, but the threads on the brake line were in bad shape and I ended up cross-threading it. I got a new fitting and cut the end off, but I've never flared a brake line...- Doug Kuhlman

Caliper bolts - what tool?
Just got a 9mm from AutoZone, the last one they had. I have an 8mm that didn't fit. I have an impact wrench, but the spec is only 55ft-lbs. I've done plenty of brakes and never needed an impact. I guess whoever did your brakes last over- torqued them with an impact.- Doug Kuhlman
