    Timing job questions

    I love reading and seeing detailed write-ups and I'm sure others do too. But it's a lot of work. You can be sure if you post one, it will help out countless readers.

    HELP - timing chain fell off

    Kevmobile's post is spot on. If I were doing the work myself, or if I had a good mechanic who could be trusted, I'd sink the $1,500 in parts into it, drop and clean out the pan and call it a day. And I'd only use Ford Motorcraft parts. I've done this work on an Explorer and it took about 12...

    What is this thing that fell off?

    Look at vertical exhaust pipes in the area of the motor.

    TPMS Fault Issues

    You have a bad battery in one of the units, or the replacements are simply cheap garbage. Lots of $8 replacement junk out there that last for a year.

    6R80 transmission cooler lines warning

    It can easily be repaired with hose and clamps. That's how the world does it. I put a little flare on the metal tube where I connect the hose to help secure it. As Mr. Dave says, the proper way is to replace the lines.

    Inner Tie-Rod End

    Frank, I think your problems are bigger than mine... Thanks though. The inner rod end is probably exactly "pipe wrench size".

    Timing job questions

    I did the same job on a 4.8L 2010 Explorer with 135,000 miles. My followers and cams were fine, so I did exactly what Max did: I held the cams with ViceGrips. Just mark everything well and don't wash the markings off.

    info display too dim

    Fluorescent displays such as these lose brightness as the years pass. Replacement is the only cure.

    Will my brake rotors need to be replaced at 60k?

    I drive an 08 in suburban New York traffic and generally get about 60K miles from a set of Motorcraft brake pads. At that mileage, my rotors usually look pretty gouged up. Nobody around here cuts them anymore, so I usually look for a bargain on Motorcraft rotors. Two rotors, pads and hardware...

    2025 Expedition details

    I use Expeditions as work trucks, buy them with steel wheels and base trim. What's left for me? I want a tool, not entertainment or prestige. Just an F-150 in my future?

    2017 3.5L Ecoboost Fiberglass Out Exhaust

    The muffler, or resonator in your truck is packed with the Fibreglas. It's coming out. You need a new one. I suppose you can yank out what's loose and hope for the best.

    New To Me '11 Expedition SSV

    Some years had the skid plates, some did not. Just as some had running boards. My '08 has an engine skid plate, transfer case skid plate and a plate under the fuel tank.

    New to me 2013 ford expedition, think it might be on old cop car.

    Almost all the SSVs have black grilles and steel wheels. They all have column shifters. Great trucks.

    Power Stop drilled and slotted full kit with calipers

    That's more than I pay for my OEM Motorcraft rotors, pads, pins and boots. And I get 55,000 miles out of those in city driving. I swear by them after years of cheaping out with aftermarket junk that warps in a month. To each his own I suppose. Anyone doing these brakes, in the northeast at...

    2010 Expedition XLT EL. Engine Rough on Idle, Stop Light. Power Loss

    Find a better mechanic. Yupster is 100% right on this. Diagnostics shouldn't include changing the engine.

    2O1O FORD EXPEDITION EDDIE BAUER

    I doubt it is electrical. If a circuit is popping I suspect it's because of mechanical drag on the components. I think if you change the regulator, you'll be okay.

    2007 expedition remote start selection

    Ford's offering for dealer installation was made by Code-Alarm of Long Island, NY. There was a plug and play kit of all parts available from Ford with a part number. I have it in a 2008, and it works wonderfully.

    Transmission leak

    As Nvsteve mentions above, the bulkhead connector is the fitting that runs control wires through the transmission case. It's a common leak point, and requires the pan to be dropped and an "O" ring replaced. Fluid drips out of it onto the pan flange and it looks like the pan is leaking. A $25...

    Misfire after plug blowout

    Did you replace the coil that the plug blew out? Switch some coils around and see if the misfires follow them. And carefully check the harness.

    Hi-Lift Jack Mounting Ideas

    Does anyone have any thoughts on where I can store a Hi-Lift (farm) jack in a regular-sized Expedition? I tale it with me when driving on the beach, and usually juts throw it in the back with a fabric case.

    IWEs? Noise continues after OEM hubs

    CV Joint on the front axle bad? How about a wheel bearing? Get all four wheels off the ground and listen with a mechanic's stethoscope while it's running. Noises like these travel all over the place and their origin can be very hard to locate. Spend time diagnosing before replacing...

    Power window help

    For those who like meddling with these things, the window regulator on these trucks is a completely self-contained unit with a bolt-on motor. The unit has pulleys and cords that control the window. When they slow down, the regulator is gummed up and the tracks get dirty. Usually the entire...

    Power window help

    Sounds like you have some aftermarket warranty from a private provider. You shouldn't have to pay to replace a defective part. On another hand, I would only use a Motorcraft OEM regulator. It seems that Chinese replacement window regulators are often of very poor quality. They are cheap -...
