    Door unlocking after locked a ghost?

    Anyone ever have any trouble with the expy doors unlocking after locked? Very spooky thing. I lock the doors from the inside, truck is running or not , in Park, and immediately they unlock. It is just the driver's side that unlocks. Maybe it is in the programming. When I use the remote the...

    Codes P0430 then 0180, 07ES, 0497 ?

    Is this still the catalytic converter? Truck is running fine although Service Engine Soon light comes again after reading codes and driving about 100 miles, or two days. Is it okay to take this truck on a family trip, driving 800 miles one way?

    is it better to go to ford dealer for repairs?

    well I have to figure out a time I can take the expy to Denver, rent a car for a week and get the job done. She seems to be running fine.....Now why would the cat go bad and start throwing the code even though it was a new cat put in October 2006. Maybe they didn't put a new cat in at all...

    Groan sound when A4WD activates

    My 2003 expy makes kind of a "clunk" noise when the A4WD engages. I thought maybe is was due to moisture or lack of, I am from Colorado and it seems to make the noise when I have to go thru mud vs. snow.

    is it better to go to ford dealer for repairs?

    Okay I got the code reader and it says P0430. I found out this is an 02 sensor problem on the bank 2. This is supposedly the exact same sensor the mechanic in Denver replaced on Feb 06. Could the sensor go bad again? I really don't want to take it back to Automotive Avenues, but these are...

    is it better to go to ford dealer for repairs?

    okay pornstar what do you think of this....? I talked with the mechanic at automotive avenues in Denver and he said you always (underlined) have to put a FORD alternater in a ford. The engine light was coming on in his non-expert opinion because they were putting in a non-ford alernator...
