    O/H temp LED 2000 XLT

    I bought a used one off of eBay from a junk yard for like 35 or 40 bucks. I would try the soldering first then if that doesn't work try eBay. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk

    Thinking about getting a newer Expedition

    Thanks for the info. I love the Expy platform because you get a big bang for the buck on used ones. I use my Expy as a second vehicle. I have a new Grand Cherokee and use my Expy for hauling bigger things and commuting to work here and there. I also use it as my fishing gear truck and throw...

    Thinking about getting a newer Expedition

    Thanks, I can do a good visual inspection and physical inspection on my own. I have a code reader with live data and know how to read FFD, fuel trims and O2 sensors and past codes. I can check for body rot, bad ball joints, bad leaky seals, heater core problems, fluids and brakes and so on but...

    Thinking about getting a newer Expedition

    I currently have a 02 XLT with the 4.6L. Thinking about upgrading to maybe a 2nd gen with 5.4L 4x4. Maybe a 05 to 07 or maybe even a 3rd gen 08 or 09. What opinions do people have on the 5.4L 3V motor. I keep seeing reviews to stay away from it due to cam phaser failures and other problems...

    Fuel filter resistance

    Nothing is going to break, just change the fuel filter and be done with it. You don't want to get dirty then wait until the fuel pump craps out and just have it done by a mechanic. Don't see the issue. I would advise having a AAA tow policy in place while owning a first gen Expedition for...

    Engine codes help

    Warm it up so it's in closed loop. Should see fuel system 1 C/L. Then check fuel system 1 fuel bank 1 end 2 short and long term trims. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

    Engine codes help

    Short term and long term fuel trims on bank 1 and bank 2. The long and short term ranges should be close to zero. They will fluctuate between plus and minus 1 or 2% from zero. The long term fuel trim should also be near 0. If your short term is near zero and your long term is around 25% then...

    High mileage Expys?

    2002 Expedition XLT with 4.6L 2WD. Only 169,000k so far. I've had it 2 yrs and 20k miles. Did the ball joints and control arms. Front wheel bearings, fuel pump, oil filter housing gasket, rear wiper motor, new tires, PCV hose and a heater hose. Runs and drives great. Sent from my SM-J700T...

    High mileage Expys?

    Those codes are most likely just a vacuum leak. Cheap fix, check your PCV hose and grommet and vacuum lines. You can do a smoke test or water bottle test to check for the leak. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

    Engine running rough

    Probably a vacuum leak or bad MAF. In the cold weather we just had a lot of the rubber grommets, elbows and such can crack or leak. Check all your vacuum lines and MAF connections. If you can get a OBD2 reader check for lean codes or MAF code. If you can get a OBD2 with live data check your...

    Heater hose broke at the connection to heater core

    Get a OBD2 reader with live data. Check your fuel trim values instead of chasing it blind. The live data will tell you alot. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

    Heater hose broke at the connection to heater core

    Got that broken connector off the heater core pipe. What a bitch, lol but it's off. Super cold right now so I'm going to wait a couple days to disconnect the rest of the assembly and have to wait for the new one to be delivered anyway. Half the battle is understanding how those connectors...

    Cap for Schrader valve on fuel rail.

    This is the most action I've seen on a thread in a while, lol. I am the original poster. I have a loaner car right now as my other SUV is in for service and I stole one of the caps off the wheel and threw it on the fuel line valve so problem solved, lol. I now have a cap on it. I'm sure the...

    Cap for Schrader valve on fuel rail.

    If it makes anyone feel better I agree to just throw a cap on it. Less dirt and debris is better than more. Lol. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

    Lean mixture fault

    AutoZone has no clue. They use a basic scan tool which only shows the code. You need a code reader with live data. When your short term fuel trim is near zero and your long term fuel trims are 25% and higher it's usually a vacuum leak not a fuel delivery problem. The short terms will be high...

    Heater hose broke at the connection to heater core

    My hose on my 02 Expedition 4.6L broke right at the nipple to the heater core. The plastic clip piece broke off inside the hose leaving the connector on the heater core nipple. It's the side closest to the driver side. Is this the inlet side or outlet. I'm thinking it's the inlet side. I...

    Cap for Schrader valve on fuel rail.

    My plan is to replace the cap. Obviously it will help protect the valve in the long run but short term I'm sure now that it isn't an issue to go without it for a little while. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't some type of a special cap that had another purpose other than just to cover and...

    Cap for Schrader valve on fuel rail.

    How important is that plastic cap on the pressure release valve or Schrader valve on the fuel rail for my 02 expedition. I was changing out the fuel filter and took the cap off to release the pressure in the fuel system and that little cap went flying into the unknown. Doubt I will find it...

    01 Expedition third brake light

    I replaced mine last year. Got a used one on eBay from a auto part supplier/ junk yard. OEM used for about 50.00 in good condition and they threw in new bulbs. I tired the other route and bought one of those cheap eBay led ones, when it arrived it was already cracked. Returned it for a...

    WRECKED!

    Take the money and find another one. In my area you can find clean ones for fairly cheap. I wouldnt sink the money into it to fix it. If the accident is not your fault then you will get the full value. I highly doubt your carrying full comp and collision on your insurance. Most likely basic...
