    Rattling noise inside cab when driving...

    Had the same kind of thing. Turned out to be a third seat steat-belt that was knocking against the plastic interior as i turned. Never use the third seat. Duct taped it. Solved. Check your seat-belt and the bin holders back there are great to hide small things that go bump.

    New owner, I have some questions

    The shocks that you have are pretty stiff. Any bumps will be transmitted back to you. It may settle down some as the shocks wear in. You can also drop air pressure in your tires a touch to help.

    Apparently Expeditions suck offroad...

    The only off road i have done in my 2wd model is the Ga. forest service roads that are graveled and some dirt mountain roads in NC. Never had a problem and mine is stock as far as suspension. I cant see an expy doing rock crawling but that isn't what i bought it for. Seems to me that the stock...

    oil consumption?

    You named two of three ways i know of. Oil burn off can be so slight that you will not see blue smoke. These vehicles have 4 cats and can burn off the oil pretty well. Oil consumption can be as mush as a quart to 1500 miles. Drips are easy to spot. Last way is the worse. Oil moving into the...

    Yep. tried that. just delayed the recurrence of the problem. just thought the rtv would help stop water pooling on top of the coil. might even design a metal shield to divert the water.

    Had to replace #4 cop for the 2nd time in 2 years. It is located under some ac lines that condensate and drip on the coil. When i pulled out the old coil i could see that water had seeped into the body of the coil. I was wondering if i put some RTV on the top of the new coil, would this help it...

    Introduction and Help Needed!!

    hard to tell it could be your trans but i would look at simpler things first. Check the rear diff and u joints as well. Pay a couple of bucks and have a trusted mechanic check it out. I didn't see anything about if the vehicle is 4wd or 2wd.

    Engine wont pick a RPM when in park.

    Revving up and down is a sign of a vaccum leak.

    Ford Design Engineers SUCK!!!!

    SORRY 2005eb Sounds like you had a bit of trouble, but believe me there are worse ones out there. I worked for two of them for 14 years. Try having your car go up in flames becuase of cop failures that have been trouble for over a decade. I did notice you had three posts. Two of them were...

    Cleaning the throttle body

    Just tossing in my 2 cents I have cleaned mine at least twice. I use carb cleaner, lint free rags, and a nylon brush (never use a metal brush or steel wool). An old tooth brush works well. Make sure to clean the back side of the plate. Try holding the plate open with a screwdriver large enough...

    code p1131

    Bank 1 is where cylinder 1 is. Passenger side. An o2 sensor will go bad and go into default position, telling ECM that it is too lean. Ecm responds by adding more fuel. Problems come up with too much unburnt fuel entering the cats. Most often the up stream (before cat) o2 is the first to go...

    Next you should uncork the exhaust system with a better muffler. the more air you can push in and out of an engine the more power you can tap into.
