    Potential new '05 owner

    I say go for it. I bought a 2005 Exp King Ranch last August that had 2 broken plugs in it, #7 had blown out and #8 was broken flush in the head. I went in thinking I might swap a 5.4L with 90,000 miles from a 2008 F150. I took it to my ford dealer (which I never do) and they were going to charge...

    Radio powers off

    My 05 Expedition King Ranch just got an 08 F150 engine and is running like a champ. My radio will not turn off when the truck is off/key out and the door(s) opens. It eventually powers off but sounds like it is shuffling discs when any door is opened. It will also surge when I hit a bump. It...

    2005 Engine Swap in Progress

    I have a 2005 Expedition King Ranch with 180,000 miles on it. It had two stripped and broken plugs and local dealership said it couldn't be repaired. Head, valves and cylinder damage on number 8. I bought a 5.4L out of a wrecked 2008 F150 that has 88,000 on it. This engine was put in a Foose...

    Broken Spark Plug Nightmare 05 Exp King Ranch

    I discovered today that plug 8 broke just below the jamb nut which means the threads are still in. I see all the tools are for plugs that break and leave the porcelain below the jamb nut or the electrode shield. I don't see much about it breaking at the jamb nut and leaving the threads. Ideas?

    Broken Spark Plug Nightmare 05 Exp King Ranch

    I'm looking for a capable mechanic in Northwest Arkansas that can work on broken plugs in my 05 Expedition? The local dealer is outrageous. Number 7 and 8 are giving me heck. Most of the plug is still in number 7 and only the very bottom part, electrode shield, of number 8 is wedged in there...

    2005 Front Vibration, Wheel Bearing?

    I put a new set of tires on and it helped some. My problem now is when I turn the wheel, at any speed, to the left I get some impressive vibration in the steering wheel. I changed the passenger side hub assembly and it made no difference. I put the old hub assembly back on the passenger side...

    2005 Front Vibration, Wheel Bearing?

    I think I have a bad wheel bearings. What is the best way to tell other than raising the vehicle and seeing if there is play in the wheels? There is mild play when I move at 9 and 3, but I assume that is normal because the steering. I can't get any play at 12 and 6 (clock reference). I feel...
