    Help needed with 2007 expedition

    Only the 2007-2010ish had the mechanical fan, from 11+ it switched to an electric fan setup that is not directly compatible with your '07. Now, there are several ways to upgrade to an electric fan, and doing so adds a little power, a little MPG, and a TON of extra room in the engine bay...

    12v switched radio

    This is the correct answer. The '08 does not have a switched ACC wire to the radio. You will need to run a wire to the fusebox and use a fuse tap to a switched fuse.

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    Zero rust. None. The truck doesn't look like it has 300k on it. Also, new trans filter and fluid last summer, so that analysis won't show much of anything.

    Fuel gauge issue

    2008 EL. Needle on the gauge is always showing the same 1/2 full tank... and has for the last year. The needle doesn't move. However, the Distance to Empty on the trip computer is accurate. What would cause the sender to show accurate DTE on the info screen but not send signal to the gauge?

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    Present thinking is that a blown seal on the oil pump is resulting in low oil pressure at idle to the VCT and phasers which is causing the rough idle.

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    Title jump, odometer tampering, and sales fraud. Police wouldn't do anything about it, and I haven't been able to find a lawyer willing to take it (can't find anyone in CO with any experience with this sort of thing). Still looking into various forms of recourse, but for now I need to...

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    Lawsuit is my only option. So far I have been unable to find an attorney with any experience in civil suits for inter-state vehicle sale fraud and odometer tampering.

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    My 2008 Expedition EL King Ranch is having a difficult time idling and is throwing codes indicating it needs a timing job. Backstory: I bought this truck sight unseen from across the country last November for $12,000. It had been advertised as clean title and only 106,000 miles. I had someone...

    Electric fan conversion?

    I know 2010+ expeditions and F150 came OEM with dual electric fans, my '08 is the old mechanical fan setup. The clutch is going out, and I am about to replace the serpentine, tensioner, and all pulleys.... while I'm in there I want to do an electric fan conversion. I can use a cheapo...

    ‘08 5.4 fuel pressure regulator hose?

    Looking under the hood today I noticed the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator is split at the back near the firewall. Does anyone have the part number for this line? How difficult to replace?

    Transmission Fluid Change interval

    It really is this simple: 1) NEVER, NEVER, NEVER FLUSH A TRANSMISSION** 2) DRAIN & FILL IS NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE Service interval can vary depending on your usage. something used around town is going to have a longer duty cycle than something that tows frequently. Current manufacturer...

    2008 - camera from rear-view to head unit?

    I don't want to add a second camera... the camera is already there and has a feed. Just trying to figure out which wires to tap to steal the signal (if anyone here had done that before)
