    Back up camera 2008 Expedition EL

    I have been looking at the OEM backup mirror with the camera in place. It looks like my expedition has the correct Mirror. I found a place that sells OEM back up camera and allows return. I think I'm going to buy it and see what happens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the info. There are a group of wires going to my rear view mirror. I wonder if it is ready to accept video. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Back up camera 2008 Expedition EL

    Hi, I have the above truck. No navigation. Is there a way to tell if my truck and mirror are already set up for the factor OEM back up camera. Can I simply take off the old chrome cover on the tail gate and install the OEM camera and expect the harness to be there? Plug in and go? Or will...

    Multiple Radiator replacements

    Sorry your right. I researched both. The Zyrex and motorcraft gold were the same. I went with Motorcraft gold. But when it's time to change it again I am going with Zyrex. Nothing against Prestone, but all my issues started when the dealership changed from Motorcraft gold to the green...

    Multiple Radiator replacements

    Well as of today still running like a champ. Longest I have gone without cooling system issues in 2 years. If you have ruled out electrolysis, Binding of the radiator mounts, checked the motor mounts and replaced the thermostat, I would completely drain the system. Blow the block out from...

    Multiple Radiator replacements

    Ok. Last radiator made it 5 months and started leaking. I replaced this on last week of May so I am now past the 5 month mark. No leaks. Heat front and back continue to function normally. Coolant temperature measured by OBD at hottest time in summer never over 197. Pressure of the...

    How much power?

    Of course any thing that affects exhaust flow will affect power. I think you should try to find a similar model expedition and year and drive it to compare. There may not be anything wrong with yours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Need help

    I agree with this. Unlikely to be on the top of engine. Does it knock when at idle or only when moving? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ok one more update. Outside temperature has been in mid 90's typical summer temperatures with heat index in upper 90's low 100's. My coolant temperature is between 195 and 200 with the 180 degree thermostat. Pressure in system hot with Mitty Vac around 2 pounds. Much lower then it was...

    Ok thought I would update the thread. Ambient temperature here has been upper 80's to low 90's. Coolant temperature has be 195 to 200. Subjectively the engine is cooler. The cooling system has been flawless. I have noticed the pressure of the system seems much lower, probably less then 5...

    Multiple Radiator replacements

    Ok another update. I got under the car and put the groove joint pliers in the hose and moved it back and forth. I guess that seated the o-rings because the leaking has stopped after a few more heat cycles. Today I let her idle for 30 minutes twice and the air seams to be out of the system...

    Multiple Radiator replacements

    Your right. I think the easiest way to get it off is to remove the degas bottle and disconnect the hose from the block. Then take the entire radiator out with the lower hose still attached. Once out use a big pair of groove joint pliers and it is a piece of cake. Trying to remove while in...

    Multiple Radiator replacements

    Ok. Looked at my motor shifting from drive to reverse. No excessive movement. The new lower radiator hose is leaking. Looks like it's leaking past the o rings of the new radiator. I guess I will have to get another new lower hose and a new set of I rings! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It is high near the upper radiator hose inlet. I cannot really appreciate any excessive movement to the motor. Do you have any suggestions about how to check the mount? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Multiple Radiator replacements

    I agree. I am all done. I changed top and bottom radiator hoses. The hoses to the front heater core. The front heater core. Flushed the block. Blew the block out with compressed air. I was able to get 20 plus quarts of antifreeze. I looked closely at the bottom radiator mount and it is...

    Normally I would not use air. But I will have all the lines open and air is really just going to blow the block out and the lines going to the rear heater core. I am not going to put in the front heater core until after I blow everything out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Multiple Radiator replacements

    Thanks for the ideas. After I put the radiator in 6 months ago. I did the pressure monitoring after it was hot and it never went above 12lbs. I would pump it up to 16. (Which is what the new cap was rated at). And saw no leak down. I also ran the truck at operating temperature with the...

    Thanks for the reply!! The water pump was replaced about 4 years ago. At the dealer. I guess I could replace it again. But is seams to be fine. I did notice the condenser that is in front of the radiator has a bunch of debris on it so I am going to clean it with soap and water. I am...
