Sadly I have left the expy behind
I had dumped literally thousands into it. Alternator, both exhaust manifolds, all 4 trailing arms and she developed a rod knock. Among the other things like the windows not always working, failing window motors, tachometer stuck at 2500 rpm, radio not working, etc. When I traded it into Ford...- AVERY CONFER

Total engine replacement cost?
So I heard what I thought to be the beginning of rod knock. I was about due for an oil change anyway so I changed the oil. Sure enough there were a lot of metal shavings in the oil so knock my best guess. That means once this engine goes I will need a replacement. How much would a shop charge me...- AVERY CONFER

Key fob not unlocking doors
The key fob lights up green as usual when I press buttons but nothing happens. I made sure the wire for it was connected to the battery. Remote start on it doesn't work either. Power locks do work when I press the buttons on the door, just not the remote locks or remote start. Any ideas...- AVERY CONFER

Sneaky snake
Guy sold me an expy. The day after I got it I heard a LOUD exhaust leak. Go under it to check it out and he filled the leak between the manifold and the head with high temp silicone that just held long enough to test drive it and drive it the short ride home. Also has 1 broken stud but it's...- AVERY CONFER

Sound like a bad GEM?
Sorry for posting a lot but I'm new to this vehicle and am trying to get up to speed as fast as possible. I just learned about the leaky windshield destroying the GEM.

Slight diesel sound and 4x4 question
My truck has a slight exhaust leak on acceleration but when it's idling it has almost a diesel type sound to it. Not as loud as a diesel truck but that's the closest thing I can compare it too. Only in idle though. Once you start driving you can't hear it at all. I was wondering if it's somehow...- AVERY CONFER

Best sounding exhaust for 2v 5.3 and where to find a full exhaust?
I really want to set up a true dual exhaust on my EB but I can't seem to find one for the expedition. If one doesn't exist I will at least replace the muffler. I'm wondering what one sounds best on the expedition in your opinion. I'm looking for something loud, but not so loud the cops will pull...- AVERY CONFER
