    Timing job questions

    I love reading and seeing detailed write-ups and I'm sure others do too. But it's a lot of work. You can be sure if you post one, it will help out countless readers.

    HELP - timing chain fell off

    Kevmobile's post is spot on. If I were doing the work myself, or if I had a good mechanic who could be trusted, I'd sink the $1,500 in parts into it, drop and clean out the pan and call it a day. And I'd only use Ford Motorcraft parts. I've done this work on an Explorer and it took about 12...

    What is this thing that fell off?

    Look at vertical exhaust pipes in the area of the motor.

    TPMS Fault Issues

    You have a bad battery in one of the units, or the replacements are simply cheap garbage. Lots of $8 replacement junk out there that last for a year.

    6R80 transmission cooler lines warning

    It can easily be repaired with hose and clamps. That's how the world does it. I put a little flare on the metal tube where I connect the hose to help secure it. As Mr. Dave says, the proper way is to replace the lines.

    Inner Tie-Rod End

    Frank, I think your problems are bigger than mine... Thanks though. The inner rod end is probably exactly "pipe wrench size".

    Timing job questions

    I did the same job on a 4.8L 2010 Explorer with 135,000 miles. My followers and cams were fine, so I did exactly what Max did: I held the cams with ViceGrips. Just mark everything well and don't wash the markings off.

    info display too dim

    Fluorescent displays such as these lose brightness as the years pass. Replacement is the only cure.

    Will my brake rotors need to be replaced at 60k?

    I drive an 08 in suburban New York traffic and generally get about 60K miles from a set of Motorcraft brake pads. At that mileage, my rotors usually look pretty gouged up. Nobody around here cuts them anymore, so I usually look for a bargain on Motorcraft rotors. Two rotors, pads and hardware...

    2025 Expedition details

    I use Expeditions as work trucks, buy them with steel wheels and base trim. What's left for me? I want a tool, not entertainment or prestige. Just an F-150 in my future?

    2017 3.5L Ecoboost Fiberglass Out Exhaust

    The muffler, or resonator in your truck is packed with the Fibreglas. It's coming out. You need a new one. I suppose you can yank out what's loose and hope for the best.

    New To Me '11 Expedition SSV

    Some years had the skid plates, some did not. Just as some had running boards. My '08 has an engine skid plate, transfer case skid plate and a plate under the fuel tank.

    New to me 2013 ford expedition, think it might be on old cop car.

    Almost all the SSVs have black grilles and steel wheels. They all have column shifters. Great trucks.
