    Won't Jump Start

    I'm still trying to hunt this thing down, I've disconnected many things from the battery without much luck. I'm starting to wonder if the previous owner may have done some electrical work somewhere in the rear when they had the amount installed so I'm trying to find time to look under the...

    Thank you so much, you have answered all the questions I had about maintenance without nonsensical jargon or beratement. I'm also feeling a bit more confident in keeping and driving this thing around now.

    Expedition major maintenance questions

    ok final question and then I'll stop asking dumb questions, is it normal for the AC to switch from forward vents to defroster vents while accelerating, even just 1/4 throttle and it switches over. its really irritating and I can't seem to figure out if its supposed to do that or if something is...

    Expedition major maintenance questions

    You've gotta be shitting me lol the cam phaser only affected the 3v!? I like to hear that but why is everyone saying that my truck will have the phaser problem? Even the mechanics and dealerships say it will have the problem if it doesn't already. Well that changes my opinion on selling it. I...

    Expedition major maintenance questions

    2004 Expedition 5.4L Eddie Bauer 112,000mi 4x4 ok, this might turn into a heavy thread, idk, so here goes. Let first start by asking how do you know how many valves my 5.4L has? I have been reading forums, googling and I can't seem to get a definitive answer on the expeditions. Everyone is...

    I'm still trying to figure out what's killing the battery now cause it's dead again. Something is siphoning power while it's not on. It's either that or the battery is junk which is possible (even though it's new). I'd take to get tested but that's not easy where I live which is 30mins away from...

    I bought this one from O'Reilly's, it's supposed to be their "premium" battery but who knows how much that's worth. It wasn't cheap, I know that much so it better not be the battery but I'm not against having it tested and checked out to rule it out, it has a 3yr warranty atleast. I didn't opt...

    Yeah thats what Im wondering now. The previous owner appears to have had a stereo with amp installed at one point and I believe they left some things attached to the battery that shouldn't be. Now I have the fun job of hunting down what gremlins are left on the system. As I'm looking at it...

    Won't Jump Start

    Thank you for your reply, I checking the grounds really quick try to jump again and if that doesn't work I'm going to hook it up to our commuter car and let it charge for a little bit. Better on gas to let it run for a bit. If after 10 mins it doesn't turn over, I'm going to hook it up to a...

    Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my 04 5.4l eddie bauer expedition where is wont jump start. I have a brand new battery in it, just bought it from Oreillys a couple weeks ago. Came out to start it up the other day and the battery was dead. Not terribly surprising since I don't drive it every...

    Excellent, thank you so much. My expedition didn't come with a manual and I'm new to Ford's coming from a 4runner, so this is all new to me.

    Transmission fluid question

    According to that website its the 4R75W. If that's true then it should be taking the Mercon V correct? Idk why they make this stuff so confusing.

    Transmission fluid question

    This would have been easier if I had a door jam sticker lol all I have to go on is the vin number. The door jam sticker is beyond readable. From the vin decoder it gives the code 44E however.

    Transmission fluid question

    I'm sure this question has been asked several times but I can't seem to find a definitive answer on what fluid should be used in my particular model. I have a 2004 Eddie Bauer that I believe has the 4R100. I looked up my vin number on a decoder site which shows the transmission order code as 44E...
