    My engine won't warm up...

    :suicide:Hope you didn't crack your engine! The above response is a valid point. Also, you can stick a piece of wood in front of the radiator to help retain the heat in the radiator. Also, your water pump may be :upyours:

    Leaks but runs well

    Wipe some of whatever fluid your talking about with your finger and smell it. If its sweet smelling, its coolant. If it smells like exhaust, then its water produced from emission byproduct. If you could please use proper grammar and punctuation when describing your situation it will help...

    Brake shuddering while stopped

    07 xlt, ~290K miles. When at a light and brakes fully pressed, and in gear, occasionally there is a shudder in the brakes, where the brakes quickly release then activate again edging me closer to the vehicle in front of me. There are no warning lights on the dash or any other indicators. Pads...

    Open or limited slip?

    My 07 XLT w/ HD tow package and IRS had a 3.73 clutch pack LSD in the rear. I opted to put a TrueTrac in place of the OEM clutch pack diff. for better grip. Its been in place for a few years now. I get on average 1.5-2.5' of snow in my driveway which is several hundred feet. The car used to be...

    Front 4wd seems to want to engage during early driving.

    In my experience power is distributed: 2wd= hubs unlocked via constant vacuum 4wd= hubs locked via spring engagement without vacuum 4auto= front hubs unlocked (2wd) unless TCS detects difference in spinning rate between front and rear wheels then releases vacuum to lock hubs then once corrected...

    '98 Limited Slip?

    I'm no expert, but I believe clutch lsd's are preloaded by the spring. Put a stronger spring(s) in there to get the quicker grab. Or look into the Detroit trutrac helical worm gear lsd without the clutch and no rebuilding. I put the trutrac in my rear end 9.75 and I cannot spin the tires, it...

    IWE Issues? Grinding coming from front wheels

    Get one thing straight, dealers, no matter the department are there to make money. They start with the expensive stuff first, such as the IWEs and hubs/bearings, then go to the cheap stuff. Mine had a minor leak for 10years, partial engagement at certain power load and rpms but went away with...

    Grinding / scratching front end noise during acceleration which can be not IWE

    Mine had a minor leak somewhere which went away with high rpms. Your IWE can also develop leaks. Or perhaps, its time to rebuild the front differential. And for clarification: 2wd=hubs unlocked through constant vacuum 4wd=hubs locked without vacuum 4auto=hubs unlocked until TCS detects front...

    Front 4wd seems to want to engage during early driving.

    Since you replaced solenoid, main hose (main hose should include short hoses to hubs) and iwe's and bearings are fine, did you check or think about replacing the vacuum storage box? My 07 XLT had a vacuum leak for the longest time. I eventually replaced everything and I mean everything...

    2017 Expedition XLT Overheating while Towing

    Try the cheap and simple things first.. like a flush and fill with new thermostat. Even a new reservoir cap, it may not be releasing the excess pressure. Other than that you'll have to consider the possibility that your water pump is going out or a radiator is slightly plugged. Recently I did a...

    Real world towing MPG 23 expedition TERRIBLE

    Ford made all newer expeditions (4th gens) with a V6 turbo [I think] and less towing capacity. I have a 07 XLT, with the 5.4 V8, 9000lb tow capacity, and we tow a 6000lb travel trailer in summers and we average ~12-13mpg in all gears. I only use the tow mode on hills. I'd suggest slow your roll...
