    Question on gen3 Cooling System

    Just got under car.......the a/c compressor is where the vibration is coming from. With the a/c off it still is engaging now and then?? Comes on for a second or two and then off......a/c seems to be working good, even though it is cold out. The belt and pulley probably should be changed...

    Is this engine noise normal?

    I've had 5.4 3 valves for a long time but probably not long enough to have phaser noise like that........however I've had the phaser noise from about 30k all the way to 100k...again not as loud but enough knock/wrap that it sounds like a main bearing issue..... Offer $4k. Either fix the...

    Problem after problem!!

    Have you installed something aftermarket prior to this problem of a drained battery? Do you have a volt meter you can put on your battery and see how much charge your getting when running? Your voltage regulator may be malfunctioning too?

    Expy next to Pilot?

    We traded our 06 expy for 12 expy, however we were looking at alternative suv's and the honda pilot was top of her list. I couldn't convince her on a explorer, which I thought was a better choice. I checked out a few slightly used Hondas and not impressed......did a full circle and came back...

    Question for everyone

    My wife had me trade in our 2006 limited for a 2012 limited and it is a different ride - basically same motor that's been around quite some time. It's worth driving a gen 3 before the new 2015. Going to save a bit of money buying slightly used too! I drive a FSI v8 in my audi and it...

    06 Expy 4x4 Limited - 96K

    Thanks.....I actually was sitting my wife's new expy and saying I will keep my miles down on the rs4 because I like the expy so much!! The rs is a fun car! Eats as much fuel as expedition! I bet it could pull the expy up a hill with its awd and 420 bhp....

    Catalytic converter warranty?

    If your truck is < 8 years old then I would fight to have them fixed under warranty. Especially at 2k miles over a 80k mile warranty? Those cats weren't breaking overnight at 82k !!!!! That is just down right rudeness!

    Been lurking around at local dealerships and spent a little time looking at Honda Pilots (slightly used). Communicated with a few dealers trying to gauge them on how much my 06 Expy was worth on trade. Got a few low ball over the phone offers of $5k and $6k.... when i look at the slightly...

    are 2003 expeditions reliable?

    We had an 03 XLT and just sold it with 100,000 miles. Me and my mechanic changed the plugs and it wasn't a big deal...you just gotta be careful with those plugs in the back. I just changed out the drive belt and all the pulleys...no biggie. We never had any issues with the truck and was...
