    Engine seized

    I'm sure you know more than me, but just be 100% sure it's seized. I remember first time I got it was told it was seized, but it was just a seized AC compressor that made it look like it was all seized. My 2001 has about 260k but everytime I want to scrap it, it ends up being fixable.... Only...

    Brake Line Blocking Caliper Bolt (Front Passenger)

    Cool. Can I just replace it with a normal bolt like the rear has? Why use torx in front instead anyway? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Brake Line Blocking Caliper Bolt (Front Passenger)

    I appreciate the input about cleaning the fluid out, I was trying to justify replacing the calipers as one of them has a boot that store and there's this really cool red ones that are not that expensive on Amazon comma Plus for me learning how to do all these repairs and changes is fun and since...

    What is this part called?

    I grabbed 6 feet of quarter inch fuel line to replace it , because they did not have quarter inch vacuum hose because they did not have quarter inch vacuum hose, do you think that will be a problem? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    What is this part called?

    Thanks for the heads up, I am going to go do the smell test :-) once I get home and let the truck cool down a little bit, if it's bad I will be changing it both front and rear myself probably next weekend. On a related topic the hose that connects to the differential and then goes up and behind...

    Clicking Rattling mirror

    My mirror rattles and makes a clicking skund when I drive. It goes away if I put pressure on top with my hand. Any ideas how to get rid of this and give my hand a rest? Thanks as always. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    What is this part called?

    I have been working on and learning about my 2001 Expedition as things break or make me nervous, but I haven't gotten to this yet. I saw a plug on it labeled drain and one labeled fill and was wondering if I missed some routine maintenance. Thanks. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Brake Line Blocking Caliper Bolt (Front Passenger)

    Thanks guys. I think I'd need a size 6 box wrench, I'm still using Nd old duralast set and don't have that, I need to upgrade ;) I used an adjustable wrench amd it was way better than the vice grips thanks. I still needed to bend the brake line some. I was doing this all in the dark with...

    I have been changing the rotors and brake pads on my 2001 Expedition 4x4 today I am on the final one which is the front passenger side and the brake line is blocking the Top torx/star Bolt that I need to loosen. Any ideas how to get to it. Its a t45 size and on the driver side although it was...

    Wow. 1st thanks for going out of your way for the annotated pic. What is that part called? I have been cleaning the underbelly of the beast for 2 weeks and I can finally start to make individual Parts out without all of the grime and dirt. I am going to go look at or for the power steering...

    Anyone recognize this plug. Its near the oil filter

    Hey thanks for the reply, I am still on the hunt. Right before this plug the cable splits and there was another plug that does get plugged in behind the oil filter, but I don't see any area or location where I can plug this second one in anywhere near the oil filter. Do you k ow what the one...

    I dont know what this plug is on my 2001 Expedition 4x4 5.4 L. Its near the oil filter. There is another plug attached to it that is plugged in above the oil filter but i don't see any other outlet for this one. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Replacing Entire AC System 2001 Expedition

    Duly noted. But it sounds like the main concern would be it damaging the compressor, but a new compressor would cost almost the same as the recharge. I'm slowly learning. Just haply it wasn't a bad evacuator. That's an extensive and expensive job. Maybe I'll see if theres a cheaper evac and...

    Replacing Entire AC System 2001 Expedition

    What other parts will it likely damage? Because if it's less than $130 for an evac and refill then it makes more sense to wait. Even the compressor was about that much. I do havebto do a full evac and recharge if I want to change the accumulator? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

    Replacing Entire AC System 2001 Expedition

    Definitely. I changed the compressor and for the first time in years I didn't sweat while driving across Florida. Wish I had changed the accumulator too, but I spent $130 for an evac and recharge, so, I dont want to respend that just to change the accumulator. Is that a dumb move? Sent...

    Replacing Entire AC System 2001 Expedition

    Yeah. I talked about that with a friend. Will that likely be just changing the accumulator or will it often damage the other parts too? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
