    'Shift delayed - Pull forward' and P0446 & P1633 codes

    Of my Fords I've ever had; this one has been a nightmare (my 3rd Expedition). Background: over the past 3 years this has moved maybe a total of 500 miles. Prior to that my father borrowed it and t-boned someone who ran a red light, having no insurance, license or registration. Because it was my...

    Transmission Issue: P0770 w/ Extreme Gear Selector Jerking

    Hey guys, i have on 08 Expy that is experiencing hard shifting. I have just under 320k and did a fluid change every 100k (I bought new). I like to diagnose- so this and understand and although I work at a dealership (not Ford) I like to understand the mechanical aspect (the civil engineer in...

    2010 ---> 2015 Front end conversion

    Hey guys- Long time 08 Expedition owner... Im just shy of 305K on it- all on orig drivetrain btw- and gonna try to go as high as it will take me. Was looking to get a 16/17 but got a sick deal on a fixer to "add to my fleet". Bought a damaged 2010 Limited MAX for $1,500 and it needs a front end...

    08 Front brakes under pressure

    UPDATE: As I don't like to do my own work, brought my truck in with advise from you guys. Although I was very low on pad and rotor life which I had already known (10-20% left) the sticking issue was getting bad enough to where it was effecting traction control functions- it would basically bring...

    air suspension 911 help!

    Just thought I'd give an update- the pump went and was a mere $150 on amazon. I was able to do it myself, but had a hard time with 1 connection otherwise super easy to get to. Should have taken me a mere 30 mins, but given my lack of tools and the area I did it, it took almost 3 hours. But im...

    2009 Rusted Rockers

    Ahhh I kinda figured. Think you guys have a Ford stamping plat there.. but I've learned the hard way to never buy a used car from buffalo... Bought a used 03 Explorer from Mass, in 05 and then an 05 Aviator from buffalo in 07. Explorer never saw body rust when I had it (just suspension which is...

    Where In WNY are you? I'm in Rochester. Not a lot of Expeditions around here (another reason I like it)- big GM city/town.

    2009 Rusted Rockers

    Agreed, I'm at 285K now and might have someone do some crappy bondo so it doesn't look as bad when I trade it in to the dealer. Told them i'm waiting to hit the 300K mark before I take a 17 or even a used 16- just because I want to be able to legit say that I went 300k on orig drivetrain..

    08 Front brakes under pressure

    My expy does this sometimes after a hard braking. Im going to investigate a bit further because occasionally i'll get some noise, serious vibration and engine drag- almost as if the front left brake is still on. Other times its fine. I was initially thinking wheel bearing, but truck doesn't pull...

    Excessive air pump noise...

    Grew up a GM family... my first Ford was a Contour SVT. Loved it, but traded back to family loyalty and bought 4 more GM's until they all almost made me broke. Bought a Taurus- 200k in 4 years, gave to my brother as his GM kept sh!tting the bed, made it to 278K before he totaled it in a...
