    P0299 and metal shavings in turbo piping

    I paid cash. It was wholesale. I knew the risk. Engine runs smooth. Too bad check engine light wasn't on when I bought it. Probably be best to find a used motor than to rebuild. I might have more money into it if I rebuild. I don't know. I found an engine in Pennsylvania with 91,000 miles and...

    To the compression check. Engine came up to 145 on all cylinders except the middle back one which would be the middle passenger side. That one came up to 55.

    P0299 and metal shavings in turbo piping

    My apologies for the delay. Been a busy week with the kids. I am unable to view the wastegates. They are buried. I will be doing a compression test tomorrow. My oil separator showed up yesterday. Got it installed. I pulled the map sensor from intake. It had a lot of oil caked on it. I...

    P0299 and metal shavings in turbo piping

    You think it's possible that the inner cooler is filled with oil? Never thought of that. I installed a catch can on the expedition. I ordered one for the explorer. I hear no turbo line when I rev up the engine or accelerate down the road.

    P0299 and metal shavings in turbo piping

    Hello everyone, I am posting a question concerning a newly purchased Explorer Sport. A little backgroung - I had a 2015 Expedition that I purchased with around 209,000 miles in May of 2022. I got a decent deal on it and it ran flawless. Well, except for an issue with my ABS pump. Aside from...

    brake issues - pedal slowly drops to floor - abs pump concerns

    I've replaced the pads, front calipers (driver side had torn seal), and replaced check valve for booster. Still no improvement. It sorta feels like a clutch pedal instead of a brake pedal.

    brake issues - pedal slowly drops to floor - abs pump concerns

    I am a little skeptical on the pads being the problem but I have to go with what they guy did. I ordered some pads. I'll update once I change them out.

    Replaced pads and rotors, brake pedal sinking to floor now?!?

    Thanks for clarifying on the 6 months. I missed that part. I have been reading through all the comments while at work and didnt pick up on the timing.

    brake issues - pedal slowly drops to floor - abs pump concerns

    I have to admit, reading your post made me think.. why in the heck would pads cause this issue??? Then I read the post and realized he used Powerstop pads and rotors. My sinking pedal issue started after upgrading to Powerstop. The vehicle did not brake well and I had the same issue with the...

    Replaced pads and rotors, brake pedal sinking to floor now?!?

    I apologize for bringing this back from the dead, two years later. UniqueTII, what is your long term assessment of the situation? I bought a 15 Expedition back in May. Brakes didnt feel that great. Dealership said rotors were turned. I found the same exact issue you showed in that picture...

    brake issues - pedal slowly drops to floor - abs pump concerns

    Shortly after purchasing the expedition, I replaced the pads up front because I noticed a lack of braking. I installed the pads properly. I do not recall how they were when I pulled apart. But my situation is not that I have squishy brakes but that my pedal sinks to the floor.

    brake issues - pedal slowly drops to floor - abs pump concerns

    I swapped back to my ABS pump & module and everything above was corrected, except for the pedal drop. Last night I swapped in a different ABS pump along with ABS module and everything as described above came back. Pedal situation was not corrected. Can anyone confirm if the pump needs to be...

    brake issues - pedal slowly drops to floor - abs pump concerns

    Hello everyone, I am having some issues with my 2015 Expedition with braking. I went from a 2010 Navigator (which braked very well) back in May to this 15 Expedition. I noticed right away that something felt different about the brakes. I started out by changing the front pads and rotors (had...

    Ford Sony vs Lincoln THX difference

    The more I thought about it afterwards, the more I was leaning to what you are suggesting. Perhaps I will try new speakers. Thanks!

    Just ordered my 5 Star Tune - Any advice?

    I purchased an SCT X4 with a couple tunes from 5 star for my 2010 Navigator. I purchased it mainly for towing as I would be going from Michigan to Georgia in a 24 ft travel trailer. I installed the tune and it seemed ok. It didn't feel like it did a whole lot. This was just street driving...
