    2006 Expedition- Need help shops can't figure out the issue

    You’ve only replaced 3 of the coils… how old are the remaining 5? I chased random misfires until I changed all the coils. Now it runs perfect. That would be my first go to. I also bought a $90 code reader and kept it with me so I could diagnose at will. That has saved me hundreds of dollars by...

    Positive Battery Pole Corrosion

    I have found the best way to eliminate battery corrosion is a good coating of synthetic lithium grease on the terminal and connector after you make the connection and tighten it down. Since I started this practice I have been corrosion free for years and years. Very simple and maintenance free.

    Keep It or Flip It??

    Keep it for sure! I have a 2003 that I am going to drive the wheels off of it, unless it gets into an accident. That is the only way I am getting rid of mine. If you use yours as a utility vehicle as well as a passenger vehicle, the older models have more room than the new ones. I can lay a 4X8...

    Any other shocks available besides Ford OEM and Bilstein?

    I have an '03. But I'll bet they have them for your year as well. Take care!

    Check engine light on p0356

    I've always disconnected the battery and let it sit for a while before reconnecting.

    2005 Expedition: 40mph shudder, low mpg, stall

    Just curious on the engine you have. I know the 3 valve's had an issue with the cam phaser's right around that year. Just a shot in the dark, but something to consider having checked before just throwing money at it. Hope you figure it out!

    I purchased these from Amazon and couldn't be happier. I think the ride is better than OEM. It's not harsh at all, yet handles great.

    Door ajar light

    If you have tested all the other doors and have installed a new door switch that should have taken care of it. If you are still having an issue, then it may something else. That would be beyond my amateur mechanical skills. I wish you the best of luck!

    Door ajar light

    My 03 EB had the door ajar/dome light on problem, so thought I'd share what I learned. After spraying all the latches with wd-40 didn't work, I had to find which switch was causing my problems and I didn't want to dissasemble all 4 doors. There's another way. To do this it's helpful to have an...

    Battery drain

    Keep in mind that all 12 volt outlets remain hot while vehicle is off. I know its obvious, but something to check off the troubleshooting list.

    Bad Battery in 2005 Expedition

    to eliminate corrosion, spray a coating of lithium grease onto the battery terminals and connections. You will never have corrosion issues ever again.

    2002 expy showing it's age?

    The cost of basic repairs versus payments is huge. Keeping up on general items that wear out is much more cost effective. Even if you had to replace the engine, it would basically be worth 1 year of payments. Do the math on a new or newer used Expedition and you will see how much that would cost...

    New Headlight Assembly with LED accent lights

    The low beams are ok, I would prefer more light for sure. The high beams are very good. Unfortunately I don't have the purchase info anymore. There are lots of options out there, take your time and read the reviews. Make the best informed decision you can. I do like the LED accents they add alot...

    Trade truck for Expedition?

    You guys have waaaaay too much time on your hands. Go spend it with your family and get over the trivial B.S.

    Trade truck for Expedition?

    The reality is it's all about the child and momma. The SUV is the logical choice and overall functionality for transporting a newborn is going to be your main factor. When kids arrive on the scene, all else is secondary. Our Expedition was the best purchase, we had a labrador too. Just get the...
