    2007 Eddie Bauer suspension rebuild

    Hey postwick, my local garage I use for AC and Alinement work just called me and asked how much I love my truck.... Tech says it's too wore out to align - not worth fixing with 193k. BS! I'm looking at RockA. and now I'll check your links. I think the best thing is to replace what's worn, I'm...

    Rotors and pads / factory or something else

    Did the wife's with the PowerStop 1 click slotted kit. $275 for everything was a few bucks cheaper than name brand (non-china) rotors and Wagner pads. Love em. No pulse, no squeal, stops even with the trailer on there with no problems.

    Busted Compressor

    I did mine (07), the clutch separated from the rubber isolator. Advance had a 3yr pump/clutch for $175. I took it to a local AC shop, they evacuated the system, I drove it home and changed out the compressor (lying on the floor under the passenger footwell). drove it back to the shop and they...

    suspension replacment

    if it's not sagging and you're not looking for a radically different ride I would not replace the springs. Any new shocks/struts will feel stiffer than 100k anythings but the bilstens are nice units, I've been feeling letdown by monroe as of late.

    Spark Plug Removal Issue

    Wadesdad - I had to do the same thing on a dodge 5.9 wish I'd read your post a year ago ;) I cut up a decent 5/8 socket to act like a cutter for getting the grunge out - your copper pipe setup would've been alot quicker

    Liftgate window problem

    Ashley, I don't want to pay my local dealer $89 (diagnostic fee) for them to tell me I need to spend another $400 plus labor on that control module - as it is I have to re-set the module every 2-3 months in order for the gate to stop opening itself at random. It stinks to have such a heavily...

    Set screw on caliper?

    The caliper bracket bolts should be 18mm, they're torqued pretty tight - a long breaker bar and a good hard hit with the palm of your hand should break them loose.

    Liftgate window problem

    Papa bull, please post what they tell you or you find out, my 08 does the same thing - it'll go so far as to actually have the whole darn hatch open itself! I'll walk out and theres the hatch up. We'll get in to go somewhere and that stupid message center is telling me the rear window/hatch is...

    growley brake pedal abs pump

    UPDATE: it was the rear wheel bearing gone bad, threw the sensor off - lit the ABS light and the ABS valve was dumping pressure to the rear drivers brake thinking that wheel was locked up. New bearing unit is on order -

    Installing trailer brake controller

    On my 07 it's got the tow package but didn't come with an in-dash controller, after looking around for a nice place to mount it I realized that since I only use it once or twice a year I'd just plug in the pigtail harness and let it set in the little tray ahead of the shifter on the consol...

    growley brake pedal abs pump

    nope, it keeps pulsing & growling - sometimes the light is on and sometimes it's off. I was hoping it'd stay lit long enough to read a code.

    growley brake pedal abs pump

    Ok, 116k miles, new brakes (6k miles ago) and now the ABS light comes on, the pedal growls & vibrates and it doesn't want to stop like it used to. It sounds like the pads are gone so I pulled the wheels and the rotors are clean and smooth and the pad friction material looks brand new (inboard...

    07 expedition Electronic Stability Control light on

    what did you figure out? I've got an ABS light, growling pedal and the TSC skidding car lighting up - did you have to replace the module? Did foam in the dash help? Was it a front wheel bearing/sensor?

    P0304 code remedy?

    I'd yank the rest of those champions out - just had the same issue with my 07 but it was a 0300 random misfire code - those "one piece design" champions were toast, less thank 10k on em too!

    P0300 intermittent miss code - solved

    I'm fairly certain they were the right heat range - as mentioned, they're not typical plugs and specialty ranges for turbo/supercharged/NOS applications aren't readily available. Bosch Platinums did the same thing in my old Shelby Charger (it was NA as well). I think some manufacturer's...

    P0300 intermittent miss code - solved

    I only buy gas from name brand stations and I don't get it if there's ethanol in it (around here some stations sell "with up to 10% ethanol"). Truck's all stock except for a K&N drop in air filter - The miss hasn't come back and it's running smooth. The only planned upgrade is replacing the...

    P0300 intermittent miss code - solved

    Ok, I thought I post what happened and what I did to fix it as I was unable to find anything out searching the forum: So, I've got an 07 EL with 115k on it, the guy I bought it from had the plugs changed at 100k -they put the Champions in as they were the most expensive ($20ea) and touted as...

    code retrival without scanner?

    thanks igneous that's what I was hoping to find. While I've got laptops I don't have a cell so I didn't want to buy a bluetooth for android or iphone to test if it'd work on a laptop. I'll check them out. Can you clear codes and see real time data too?

    Changing the color of your display light ?

    Autometer makes little boots to change your color - take apart your dash, remove the bulb install the color boot you want (I think red/green/blue/purple?) re-install and you're good.

    P061B dtc code?

    Ok, my 07 ExpyEL stumbled hugely on light acceleration the other morning (20 degrees, just started it and pulled out of the drive) and all of a sudden the MIL kicks on and gives me a wrench symbol to boot. I pulled codes and got a P061B - alt fuel relay..... this is NOT an E85 optioned truck...

    code retrival without scanner?

    Yeah, my local parts stores have that - I just haven't had the best luck with competence... Also by the time I can get out to it it's typically 7pm on a Sunday. Tom, thanks for the link to that post - I couldn't find it to save my life.

    code retrival without scanner?

    Hi everyone, I thought when I joined this site I read a thread that was titled something like "things you didn't know about your expedition" and in it I thought I read how you could press the right combination of buttons on the dash to get the check engine codes in the green dot matrix display...

    2012 Expedition Limited - Need Keyless Code

    Just found mine this weekend - on my recently aquired 07 it was on the back of the fuse box in the lower passenger kick panel. I pulled the bolts out to make sure I had all the numbers - there were 2 different sets of 5 digit#s I wrote them both down and sure enough one worked.

    Couple of service questions... Tires and brakes

    I'm going with Powerstop Drilled/slotted rotors from RockAuto and probably the Severe duty Wagners when mine come due.

    Couple of service questions... Tires and brakes

    I wouldn't put any "house brand" brakes on my big trucks - go OEM (Ford, Bendix, Raybestos, Wagner) Advance/Autozone/Oreiley's have cheaper pads that don't utilize friction material specifically formulated for a set vehicle - they use the same semi-metallic (or carbon or kevlar) friction matrix...
