    Updated: FIXED (?) New CALIPER, rotors and pads. Still HOT!!!

    As much as I didn't believe, the brake hose resolved the problem. The truck now brakes as it should and the caliper does not stick. -Tim

    Updated: FIXED (?) New CALIPER, rotors and pads. Still HOT!!!

    As mentioned above - only 1 side is completed at this point to resolve the issue at hand before potentially making any additional problems or completing standard maintenance. It's not a matter of "skimping" or being cheap but rather addressing the problem first. I've never had a caliper or brake...

    Updated: FIXED (?) New CALIPER, rotors and pads. Still HOT!!!

    Having a similar issue with my 2008 Limited and am curious if a new rubber brake line resolved your problem. My drivers side front caliper started to lock up/drag on a recent family trip to the beach 5 hours away from home. It was an intermittent issue, so we were able to make it back home...

    Rough idle after cold start...

    So far so good since the replacement of the #1 plug and coil at the dealership. The power band after that was a drastic change...suppose my lack of ever driving/riding in an Expy before the purchase made me unaware of what it was lacking. Now I do at times feel slight hesitation, so for my...

    Chrome Shift handle Pealing - Repair Ideas?

    Hadn't seen this discussed - sorry if it comes off as a newb already covered topic. Picked up a 2008 Limited 2 weeks ago, the only real interior flaw is on the shift handle, suppose since it's the only major flaw it really stands out. Also my hand touches it daily. Here's a link to the part in...

    Rough idle after cold start...

    Dealer just called - truck is repaired, said they had to replace 1 plug and 1 coil. Guessing they did the work based on the P0301 Code that was thrown. No charge for the repairs given the short ownership. Hopefully that resolves the issues. -Tim

    Rough idle after cold start...

    I pressed the button on the over head lights to fill out the drop box form. Did the last 2 button Lock as well - know that one from other Ford ownership - light stayed on. I'm sure it killed the battery, but again outside of calling a locksmith it was pointless to worry at that point. Figured...

    Rough idle after cold start...

    I understand not throwing money at things (was more sarcasm/anger in terms of the statement). I own several other Fords, most of my experience is with Supercharged Thunderbirds 89-95 era however. I am a resident expert on those forums you might say. This is the first family gas powered truck...

    Rough idle after cold start...

    Starts fine, idles fine in the driveway. Short drive it misses as mentioned, then smooths back out. I revved it one occasion while in gear to smooth it out. The other time I went the neutral shift (no load it smoothed out)...took off, same end result of CE light doing either of those 2 methods...

    Rough idle after cold start...

    Good call - I've done this dance a few times...better to keep what I know close to the chest. At this point I am more curious as to what "as-is" covers when you buy a car. We did pick up the 3yr / 36k warranty, however I would think a dealership would cover this on their dollar given the short...

    Rough idle after cold start...

    Code reader pulled P0301 - for cylinder 1 misfire. Resourceful me would have grabbed a spare coil from my stash and fixed it...however since I am less than 300 miles into this purchase its back to the dealership. -Tim

    Rough idle after cold start...

    This morning I allowed time for things to warm up. Let it idle for 2 mins in the driveway while I took out the trash and fiddled with Pandora. Needless there was little change. Once again caught the stop light, noticed tach starting to drop so I shifted to neutral to take off load. This caused...

    Rough idle after cold start...

    The 3 times it has happened is exactly the same as you've described. There is a stop light I hit every morning roughly 2 miles from my house. When I stop. that's when it will start to idle poorly and a check engine light will flash repeatedly. Drive another mile or two and it returns to normal...

    Rough idle after cold start...

    Subscribing to this thread - purchased a 2008 Limited less than 500 miles and it's doing the exact thing as you describe. Mine is going into the shop on Friday for them to figure it out. I drive 2 miles from my house...it idles rough for a few minutes with the check engine light flashing, then...

    Took it to Advance Auto the other day - no codes showed... Video taped it today so I'd have something to show. Was informed it may take a scan tool from the dealer to show the codes? -Tim

    Just checking in, long time Ford owner, first time Expedition owner however. Forum was helpful in my purchase - picked up a 2008 Limited w/ 114k on the clock. Majority of the common fail items have already been replaced i.e window motors, running board actuators, plugs changed at 80K. Has the...
