    Are fuel injectors a wear item?

    Morning all! '14 EL KR 4WD w/127k miles. No codes/MIL. Question: Do you consider fuel injectors as a wear item that should be replaced periodically? I'm struggling to hit double digit MPG in the city, and only reach around 12 on the highway. From what I see, those are both about 25% below...

    Rebuild, repower, or just replace?

    Hay all - Some friends of mine have a 12 limited EL with 160k or so. Problem is that he drove it with no oil. “Something” happened and all the oil “drained out” while he was driving it. Did he pull over when the oil light came on? Nope. Drove it till it died. The next day, I got it to turn...

    Horizontal headlight adjustment

    Good morning all! After switching out my headlight bulbs this weekend, it’s apparent the right side headlight needs a horizontal adjustment. It shines far off to the right, illuminating the sidewalk more than the street and leaving a dark spot right in my path of travel. This was true with...

    Grinding when ... stopped?

    Ok fellas, this is a new one for me. I get a grinding noise when I turn the wheel all the way to the left when near the end of the steering wheel travel. It happens and is most apparent at low speeds, which is fairly common and could point toward a cv joint or bearing, right? Even an IWE, but I...

    Rattling, diesel noise when in motion

    Ok guys. Two mechanics can’t find what’s wrong, so it’s up to the internet. When I am cruising down the road, almost always over 35mph, I get a loud rattling, exhaust, diesel sound that, when I change the RPMs, will sound like it snaps shut. When it starts, it’s pretty constant until I goose...

    A new running board problem...

    Sigh. So today, on the coldest day of the year, I went ahead and tackled my running board problem again. To recap: 1. Old driver running board would not retract 2. Tried to replace just the motor, but could not drive the old motor from the hinge and destroyed the hinge by mistake. 3. Bought...

    Automatic climate settings upon remote start in 2014?

    So, in my wife's old Buick, when she would use remote start in the winter, the climate control would automatically adjust to blast the heat on full through the defrost, and would turn on the heated seats. When she would use it in the summer, the climate control would automatically adjust to...

    Running board hinge replacement question

    So, I’ve been on a journey with my running boards. I purchased a replacement motor, but fubar’d the hinge trying to remove just the motor, and so I returned that and got a replacement hinge/motor assembly. On the old hinge, there was a bar (rod?) that ran across to the rear hinge. It was...

    Door wiring diagram

    Anyone have a diagram of the wires coming out of the driver door on a 2014 Expedition? Looking to add an auto folding module there, and want to do as little of a hack job as possible. I do have an eBay factory service manual on its way, but it won’t get here before I wanted to install it...

    Transmission fluid service

    G’morning! One of the pieces of maintenance I need to do before spring (and camper towing) is transmission fluid service. I have two questions for you: 1. Anyone pump fluid out by disconnecting a cooler line and doing a diy at home “flush”? Or is a simple pan drop the preferred method around...

    Running board problems

    Ok, so I can tell this has been discussed a lot here, but I’ve got two different problems with my running boards. Neither side works, but they’re broken in different ways. The driver side doesn’t retract and is in the down position. It moves fairly freely if I push on it gently with my foot...

    Traction options?

    Hello all! I’m new to the forum, and new to the expedition life. Traded in a 2006 Yukon xl denali with a quarter million miles and bought a 14 Expedition EL King Ranch 4wd. Sure enough, spent enough time at the dealership that we wound up driving home in a blizzard and I realized I know...
