    Replaced front hubs

    Was experiencing an increasing grinding from what felt like the LH front wheel/hub area. I could slightly reproduce the sensation spinning the tire by hand. Took about 3 hours to pull and replace both sides with Motorcraft parts. Will give her a test drive tomorrow. 120k 2011 XLT 4x4.

    Which HVAC actuator for defrost / vent / floor?

    Hello gents. My 2011 XLT Expedition will ONLY blow air out of the dash face vents. Hoping you can advise on the location of the actuator. Is it the one near the gas pedal? I believe there are 3 actuators in the dash. BTW, no clicking sounds. It seemed to do this about a month ago but returned...

    5.4 transmission code after replacing intake gasket/valve cover gaskets

    Hi, guys. Happy New Year from TX! Thanks in advance for your help troubleshooting. I spent a couple of my days off under the hood of my 2001 5.4 4x4 XLT Expedition (147k on her now) replacing the intake manifold gasket (two years of cold weather-only lean codes), leaking valve cover gaskets...

    Hey guys, everyone was OK - neighborhood incident where my son was driving our/his 2001 Exp and hit the back of a new Lexus SUV at 10mph. I'm surprised the bags deployed...

    Deteriorating vacuum hoses around throttle body

    My '01 gifted me an engine code (believe it was P0136) and I determined the cause was either the (1) O2 sensor behind the RH/passenger cat or (2) the PVC hose that routes from the RH valve cover to the back of the intake. The hose was $32 and the O2 sensor $30 or so on Amazon. I picked up the...

    First engine miss in 3 years - fixed

    Our '01 5.4 (120k) started missing the other day. No check engine light.. so I parked it. Figured it was a COP (coil over plug) that went bad. Ordered an Actron scanner (Actron CP9550 PocketScan Plus) for about $35 on an Amazon "lightning deal" sale and then ordered a set of 8 COPs ($55 or...

    Rear bumper hit in front of my house

    College girl was home next door (single dad out of town) and had her usual party over the weekend. I wake up Monday morning (Memorial Day) to find someone hit the back of my Expedition -- which was parked against the curb (passenger side on the curb) in front of my house. They were parked behind...

    Opinions with pix: New tires too small?

    Not sure why, but these new Hankook 265/70/16 offroad tires look tiny on my 4x4. What do you guys think? Am I crazy? Or should I try to bump up the tire size? (Maybe Discount Tire would take 'em back...)

    DIY fix complete on blend door motor -- a/c and heat problem

    I was driving the Expedition last weekend in 90 degree Texas heat when all of a sudden, I started feeling "heated" air out of the center vents. Then it would blow cold for a few seconds, and then heater-core hot for a few seconds...the cold... and then never went back to cold. The manual CC knob...

    Is a jumpy bumpy idle normal in a 5.4?

    Hi everyone, just to say I've had a CEL-free 18 months out of our '01 5.4 4x4 Expedition (108k to 113k on her in that time). And I love this truck! Reliable, consistent, roomy, not a leak anywhere and fun to drive. My question is this: the idle (guesing around 800 rpm) in park/neutral is a...

    Hey everyone, hope you're all as glad to be back at work like I am this new year...haaaa. Over the holiday break I decided to change the ATF and filter on my Expedition (used the walmart brand fluid). I went to remove the drain plug on the pan and after a few turns, the bolt kind of locked...

    I get it! Gen 1 conquers the ice and snow

    This is the first year I've had the opportunity to drive in snow and ice (serious ice all over the roads) here in DFW and I GET IT. Gen 1 4x4s are greatness. Our '01 did a fantastic job getting us around town and getting up my sloped driveway. Sure footed and confident. Only wish I had a...

    Was getting an intermittent (2-3x a year) automatic shifting into 4x4 high (light on dash / front axles engaged) when the dash selector switch was set to AWD. Plus, the motor was a bit rusty. Very straightforward, guys. Picked up the new motor on ebay for about $75. Few tips: Nice DIY...

    Stock 16" rims (powdercoat) and tire size

    I've always liked the stock look of the original 16" rims on my 4x4 Expedition, which is sporting 265 75 16s now - I believe the original tire size is 245 70 16. What tire size do you guys recommend running on stock rims to keep my 4x4 right height nice and tall? Also figured now would be a...

    Lower radiator hose - no hose clamp?

    I flushed my coolant this weekend (111k) on my '01 5.4 and was going to replace the radiator hoses (original) when I noticed there is no clamp connecting the bottom radiator hose to the radiator. It looks like some kind of snap ring. :confused: How do I get this bad boy off? Is it some kind...

    4x4 dash light on with truck in 4wd / switch on A4WD?

    I jumped in my '01 4x4 Expedition (112k / 5.4) yesterday and took off through the neighborhood, and knew something wasn't right. She was in 4x4 high (dash light verified it), yet the dash switch was set to A4wd. I switched it to 4wd HI and back to A4wd... the dash light went away and she clunked...

    Wrecking / salvage yard hunt -- any ideas?

    I'm going to take a 1/2 day to in the next week or so to hit a couple pick-n-pull yards looking for a few items for our vehicles. Being a first gen Expedition newbie, I'd appreciate any recommendations on items I should snag (e.g., rare parts, comon failure electronic components, rare or...

    Need security ideas to prevent theft = no full coverage

    When I insured my new-to-me 2001 Expediton, I shouldn't have been surprised when full coverage was not available. I mean, with these things selling for under $4k all day long on craigslilst, I get it. However, to me (and I know to ALL of you), out trucks are worth 10x more. So, how do we...

    Anyone ever swapped out an open rear for a traction lock?

    My '01 4x4 has an open 3.31, which is a weird combination to me btw, and I've been looking on craigslist etc. for parted out expeditions with H5, H7 and H9 (all limited slip codes) 9.75" rearends. To keep my costs down, I'm going to keep my 3.31 in the front and just swap any guts to my existing...
