    Any ideas for locating a squeaking noise

    I am pretty sure. The squeaking noise happens most easily when one pulls/pushes on the metal piece (I'm gonna give describing this a go) above the rubber/plastic shroud above the wheel well area but below the washer fluid. However, we cannot see what is causing the actual squeaking.

    Any ideas for locating a squeaking noise

    Hi everyone- Been a little bit of a rough two months on the Expy with a new alternator and battery. Anyway, a few days ago a squeaking noise (sounds like metal on metal) started. I can hear it inside the car while driving. It also makes the noise if I bounce the car up and down or really with...

    Paint

    Hi- Ive got a 97 black expedition, and Im trying to find a paint to spray on that will match the original paint. We had to sand down and cut out some rust and fill it in with a support and body filler, and so far I can only find touch up matching paint. Any advice? Thanks

    Noise at 33-35 mph

    Hi everyone- So some background- My exhaust pipe kind of wiggles a bit and when I hit bigger bumps you can hear it clang against the body or something. Anyway, yesterday I noticed a noise that sounds either like the exhaust pipe vibrating against the body or, more closely, a fan blade spinning...

    Advice on mechanics estimate

    yea thats what I'm planning on for now, I'm just gonna get the parking brake shoe and brake pads replaced. The 4-Lo and 4-Hi will work without the abs sensor but the A4WD won't, is that correct? Charlie

    Advice on mechanics estimate

    The mechanic said that he gets the front sensor as a unit with the hub which is why he is replacing the whole thing.

    Advice on mechanics estimate

    I waited so long because I am in college and I am on a tight budget, anti lock brakes in the summer were not a priority for me. The parking brake issue began Saturday and today was the first day they were open since then. I can't do the work myself, I don't have jacks and such and also don't...

    Advice on mechanics estimate

    Hi all- I just brought my expedition into the shop to get an estimate on fixing the ABS system and a screeching noise from the rear. The mechanic says that the noise from the rear is from the parking brake clamp not releasing, and also says that I have essentially no life left on my rear brake...

    ABS problem

    Nope, no O'Reilly's near here, but I found a friend who has a scanner capable of reading the ABS codes! I'll let you know the codes once I get them tomorrow afternoon... thanks for your continued help! This forum is really great.

    ABS problem

    Well Autozone and Advanced Auto Parts told me they can only read check engine lights not ABS codes... where do I go from here? I would rather not purchase a new obd reader for the ABS system.

    ABS problem

    1997 expedition 4x4 with the 4.6. I have a code reader myself which I will try when I get out later today, but I'm assuming it won't be effective for the abs system codes. Would Nappa read the codes?

    ABS problem

    Hi all- I was driving yesterday and my ABS light came on when I parked. It now stays on and turns on immediately without the car moving. Is there any chance this is the the sensor, or is it the abs system itself since it doesn't have to roll before the light comes on? Thanks Hoping it's the sensor

    Strange sound from engine

    I will check the belts tomorrow; I did not have time today and it is already pitch black out. Trust me, I am very careful around the engine when it is running, I know enough stories of people getting hurt. I realize there would be air blowing from the fan, but recently there is something that...

    Strange sound from engine

    Also, while I am here, what do you think would be good to include in a 150k mile "tune-up" on a budget?/what do you think the cost would be? I hope one day I know enough to actually be of help on this forum with topics other than speakers. ;)

    Strange sound from engine

    Hi- thanks for your quick reply. No, I have not checked them- I really have zero car mechanics know-how, but I will look up those and try to check them. I did not think it sounded like a bearing, but I am not sure. Is it normal for air to be rushing down one side?

    Strange sound from engine

    Hi- I started hearing a strange sound from the engine last night driving home, and I would love some help identifying it. I also could feel air rushing across the left side of the engine (when looking towards the back of the car)- not sure if it is normal. I will put in a link to a video of the...

    Driver's window issue

    Hello again- Today when I pressed the automatic down on the drivers window, it rolled all the way down and then began making a pretty loud, rhythmic banging noise. I eventually realized that it appeared that the window was trying to roll down farther even though it was all the way down. The...

    Oil Question

    One more question how low would the oil have to be to see a decrease in oil pressure? the oil pressure gauge has remained unchanged throughout this event.

    Oil Question

    No not at all I appreciate the simple advice as well... However, it is on basically level ground and I did do it with the engine off. I guess I will keep adding oil, I was just worried that there was some trick to the Expedition dipstick and I was going to overfill it. Thanks both of you!
