    Timing job complete!

    I rarely use a torque wrench and never had a problem. People think mechanics keep one in their back pocket but it's not true. A few lines on cams never hurt anything either. Andy; don't worry about breaking bolts, it rarely happens.

    Oil filter adapter gasket ... anyone done this on 4WD?

    I think that switch takes a 13/16" deep socket. What are you trying to do?

    Lug Nut Size?

    Not saying it's a precise method, just saying that's what many do to save time at the tire shops.

    Does a 2008 have wires for 7 pin trailer connector?

    Only if it has the optional tow package with the supposedly bigger radiator, trailer brake controller, 7 pin connector (obvious one in the back with the flip up lid), and the auto trans cooler.

    Alignment and dealer(s)

    I have been aligning my wheels with strings and bubble levels for about 50 years with NO problems, I can't remember the last time I had a shop do it. OK everybody squawk NOW!

    What take off rims will fit my 2010 EL

    I think the back spacing etc is the same but you would have to cut about 1/2" off your rear axles to clear the center caps.....what a deal! I have some PVD wheels that are losing "chrome" around the edge and I am trying to figure out the best way to repair them. I would use an angle grinder with...

    Operating 2014 Limited After Low Transmission Fluid?

    I agree, unless there is a ZF trans in it but that's not sealed either. The Ford "dipstick" is on the pass side towards the back and it's about 2"+- long.

    2014 Limited died on vacation yesterday

    I had AAA and used it one time when I ran out of gas but I had to wait an hour for them to give me exactly one gallon and I couldn't pay for any extra. That was the end of AAA.

    Operating 2014 Limited After Low Transmission Fluid?

    If you have the ZF transmission you will only have a fill hole but IDK if any of the Expys have that trans. They did put them in the Navigators for some reason.

    2015 - Engine cuts out going up hill with a load or pulling a trailer

    It's just that I don't believe in them. The Ford trucks already have a cold air intake and are engineered for the stock setup. They have more than enough air intake up to at least top RPM. The engineers aren't going to shortchange their own induction system. As for the plugs; the plugs can have...

    Is rotational play (excessive backlash) normal between wheel and cv axle

    A couple inches isn't much at 16" +- out from the center. I'm not seeing a problem here but I am tempted to jack mine up tomorrow to verify it.

    Is rotational play (excessive backlash) normal between wheel and cv axle

    And everything works perfectly? No clunks, 4wd problems, 4 auto problems, vibrations, etc? If you mark the tire, how far will it turn before turning the axle with just one side jacked up?

    2015 - Engine cuts out going up hill with a load or pulling a trailer

    I would change the plugs before going any farther and get rid if that K & N setup.

    Surprisingly clean sensors on Ecoboost

    The ones on my last 2 modular engines were clean at high miles too but I think it's common if you change your air filter on time and don't fall for that aftermarket cold air intake hogwash. IDK about the catch can advantage on your boosted motors..

    Operating 2014 Limited After Low Transmission Fluid?

    Be careful renting a tow dolly because the Expy is too heavy for most of them and they won't rent one out, also renting a vehicle trailer might not work either. I bought my truck 100 miles from here and picked up the U-haul trailer near the seller and had to fudge on the weight of the truck...

    Intermittent loss of front blower motor

    That connection is one of those things that typically goes bad on the the Expys.

    Extensive A/C leak

    3 or 4 weeks is not acceptable at all. You need to add a small can of UV dye and check it with the light. Typical place are at fittings, around the condenser, and at the Schrader valves but the way it is leaking you won't need any obvious places to look, just make sure you check the whole system...

    Where is coolant drain Ecoboost Expedition?

    My red drain plug shot out when I drained it to replace the coolant and went into a hole in the frame, never to be seen again. After I found out what that little piece of plastic cost I put some sealer on a bolt and stuck it in it's place. You guys need to start using mirrors more, I have 3...

    Key FOB Replacement

    I would change the battery and then put some glue in the crack, you can always get into it later.

    Key FOB Replacement

    Why don't you just glue it back or get a separate fob for much less?

    Lug Nut Size?

    90%+- of Ford lug nuts are 13/16" or 21mm. All those tire shops use air impact wrenches and most don't use a torque wrench because it is set by regulating the line pressure. Use the 21mm socket if needed but I wouldn't worry about the nuts being tight. I know some will squawk but I have changed...

    Brand New Wheel hubs bad?

    I heard the video but it's hard to diagnose a problem without being there. Try mounting a sound recorder in different areas that you suspect or have a pro look at it but don't just keep throwing parts at it.

    Brand New Wheel hubs bad?

    You need to find it before throwing more parts at it. Those ball joints you replaced had nothing to to with it (I know they were bad though.)
