    New code today

    Was driving home from Texas Roadhouse tonight and got a check engine light. Thought it was just the p0420 code that I have had since i bought her. The previous owners told me they replaced all the o2 sensors so it is most likely a bad cat. Turns out that this code was a p2270 instead. Anyone...

    Odd noise

    I actually ended up going through Crutchfield for everything because of house awesome they are. I've had friends and family over the years that have had nothing but great experiences

    Odd noise

    I was able to get everything tight eventually. Alignment was way off but got an Alignment done at a local shop and she's running like a top now. Next project is a new radio. Trying to figure out what I need to make sure the steering wheel controls still work lol

    2006 Eddie Bauer - Add back up camera and new screen

    Out of curiosity do you know which harness is needed? I looked on the site for maestro and the expedition isn't on the list of vehicles. The explorer is but not the expedition

    Odd noise

    Guess I should add that i got a new cv axle, wheel hubs for both sides, upper control arms for both sides, and an outer tie rod end because I had to cut the old one off the driver side.

    Odd noise

    So after a month of not having my car I finally was able to get all the old parts out and started putting in the new. Running into a few issues. Mostly with the new ball joints in the upper control arms. Can't seem to get the center shaft to not spin long enough to to torque it down. I've tried...

    Odd noise

    I snagged some MOOG wheel hubs from rock auto. I've used their stuff before and have liked what I've seen so it was a no brainer for me. I didn't realize that they weren't replaceable on the Ford especially considering so many companies sell upper ball joints specifically for that model. Yeah I...

    Odd noise

    Yeah, I had a mechanic friend of mine come by and help me look at it and he recommended replacing the upper ball joint, the CV axle, and the wheel hub. He recommended going wheel hub versus just replacing the bearing because there are a few other things that he saw in there that looked like they...

    Odd noise

    Yeah so the noise went compelling away for more than a month then on a trip back from picking up my fiance from the hospital a different rubbing noise started that got faster with speed. Noticeable wheel wiggle and the cv axle boot on that wheel is shot. Also noticed a bad ball joint on that side.

    Odd noise

    After some struggle and a lot of cussing that I pulled from my time in the military I was able to get that stupid sensor replaced. Also swapped the brake pads while I was in there because it was time. Thought I had found the cause of the noise as I found what I'm guessing is a retainer spring...

    Odd noise

    The rotors have been lightly scarred since I bought it. Was planning on replacing all the rotors but then I lost my job and that was put on the back burner. Can still confirm the brakes work fine when the ABS light is on but any time it goes off I get hard brake pedal, shudder, the soft brake...

    Odd shake that went away

    Check engine light wasn't flashing or on. And it hasn't done it again since I posted it. I can't find any coolant leaks and haven't needed to add any coolant either. The fuel cutoff is what I was talking about. I've had to push the red reset button on top twice in the past year and a half but...

    Odd noise

    So had to add some brake fluid when we got home earlier. Took it for another test drive after just to see. ABS light was on when I pulled out of the parking spot but went off before I left the parking lot. Got shudder and weak pedal stopping before pulling out of the parking lot. Then the ABS...

    Odd noise

    Had to drive around quite a bit today. No more noise but ABS light keeps coming on and it's throwing a code for the left front wheel speed sensor. Also noticed when the light is off I get brake shudder and the pedal is soft. Then the ABS light comes on and the brakes work perfect. Gonna try to...
