Roof Rust.
2000 Ford Expedition, med wedgewood blue. Is anyone out there having problems with rust on the roof? I have had rust spots in the depressions in the roof. The rust is not real bad as of yet. The problem is also on my son's 2005 F-150. I did some sanding and priming on both vehicles. Has...- Paul S

Replacing Weatherstrips
Weatherstripping On the back window it is essential that you clean the area very well. I used alcohol and then waxed the area to be sure then used alcohol again. The top of the window will be pretty dirty and that is where you will get an inside leak.- Paul S

2006 expedition A/C problems and dealership runaround
Down here in South Florida the dealers will not even speak to you about the problem. They want to get the commisions from selling oil changes, alignments and routine services. If you have a specific problem it has to go to the "self Diagnostic" stage before anything is done. A typical...- Paul S

2006 expedition A/C problems and dealership runaround
I suggest you get hold of a Service Manager and explain everything you have done. He should make it all good for you. They should have all of the paperwork. Failing this, start sending nasty letters to Dearborn. Don't try to push this load uphill, start at the top and let the load of @#$%...- Paul S

Oil filter Mounting Gasket.
In actuallity the oil filter mounts to a piece that is separate from the engine block. It is held onto the bottom of the block by 2 bolts and sealed with a gasket. There is alot of heat that goes through this part and its gasket. It is this gasket that has a small leak, not the oil filter...- Paul S

Oil filter Mounting Gasket.
I noticed a small leak near the oil filter and was told it the Oil Filter Mounting Gasket. The part is readily available, but has anyone ever done this job? I was told I had to drain the oil and the coolant. No biggie. I was wondering if there were any little surprises in store for me once I...- Paul S

Wrong tranny Fluid.
Today I had the transmission emptied, changed the filter and I cannot believe the difference. It is like a new transmission, smooth shifts, no hang ups on 2-3, unbeliveable. If it stays like this I will be ecstatic. Turns out the SpeeDee oil change ripoff down here never did a thing. The...- Paul S

Wrong tranny Fluid.
Sawgrass Ford, the biggest crooks you will ever meet. Just commisioned salesholes. When my son's 2005 trans blew a seal they charged him $1500. To change a seal that shouldn't have gone at 56000 miles. I will probaly end up there but I really don't trust them. 2 brothers I play Ice Hockey...- Paul S

Wrong tranny Fluid.
The fuel filter seems to make it better, but lately It is just getting worse. It is only the shift from 2-3 the first time. It is too weird. Down here in So. Florida there is no place to go. I am sure it will be a $3000.00 rebuild. I have never seen so many crooks in one place. they will...- Paul S
