    Update: found thread w/answer. '11 Overheating and coolant leaking from BELOW thermostat housing!

    Gosh, sorry guys. I found a thread here that explains it. I had opened it in a new tab but failed to get to it before posting. Here's the link: Coolant leak under thermostat housing?

    Update: found thread w/answer. '11 Overheating and coolant leaking from BELOW thermostat housing!

    My 2011 Exped 5.4L is overheating. it's now my 17yo's daily driver. He lives at home. Was going to replace the thermostat but first wanted to diagnose. I started the vehicle and watched it warm up. It took quite a while before the fans came on. The gauge showed temp a little past halfway. Took...

    Hole (covered) next to shifter? edit: fixed/got it/thanks.

    In recent news, I figured it out. I still don't understand why the manual describes a process that is unnecessary and does not show the hole...

    Hole (covered) next to shifter? edit: fixed/got it/thanks.

    2011 Exped. Need to move it while not started. There's a little cap and hole next to the shifter on the right side of it. I removed the cap with a small screwdriver but there is nothing down there to push on to disengage the transmission. That's how I recall it working in other vehicles. Page...

    AC Bypass pulley for 2011 Expedition?

    Have any of you ever installed an AC bypass pulley in their Gen 3 Exped, specifically, a 2011? My compressor went out for the 3rd time in 2 years. The first replacement went out while under warranty. This last time, just AFTER the warranty went out. I need to sell the vehicle but want it at...

    Flashing check engine light upon hard acceleration. P2096 only code: "Post cat fuel trim sys too lean bank 1"

    I don't mind looking stupid as long as I learn from it each time. When you asked this question, it struck me that they had not necessarily been changed when we got it at 93k. At 150k now, it was time to do so. I thought it had been running ragged lately... ... Fast forward a few hours...

    Flashing check engine light upon hard acceleration. P2096 only code: "Post cat fuel trim sys too lean bank 1"

    I appreciate it. I'm going to check with another Ford dealer and see if he can at least look at it. Well, Ford dealer. (But you may be right.) Replaced everything, lines and everything. Loaned me 3 new navigators over three months last summer. I think it's shoddy rebuilt compressor.

    Hi y'all. I did a search on this forum for "P2096" as well as the full message in the thread title (post catalyst system too lean bank 1) and haven't found what I need. I have a 2011 Exped with only 150k on it that has given us its fair share of problems over the years. However, when it runs...

    New tires if planning to sell soon but maybe not? Nexen?

    Hey guys, sorry I didn't respond sooner. Decided the tires were bad enough to be dangerous. Won't sell until summer and if we don't sell it as quick as we'd like... We have a big trip planned this summer. Appreciate the feedback.

    New tires if planning to sell soon but maybe not? Nexen?

    Thinking it's time to replace the '11 Exped this summer. Needs new all-season tires, though. Don't want to spend the money but I need something. I don't think you necessarily get your money out of having new tires when you sell it in this condition. Probably better to have like-new tires on...

    Stalls when AC turned on, after loud noise...

    Thanks for everyone's help here. I believe I should have done this one myself but I already had to do my Escape which was a little more urgent bc my two daughters were going on a trip. (I replaced the condenser and accumulator and the AC is frigid!). The end result is an expensive dealer repair...

    Dealer says rack/pinion leaking at both ends....

    My wife picked up the Expedition after it's AC service was complete only to call me 20 minutes later and day it wasn't coming at all. Grrr. Waters my whole Friday going back and forth to the dealer. So, I haven't looked at it yet but the dealer said it's not bad enough that it's urgent... I'll...

    Here the pic here sent. I'll tell him to hold off and I'll have a look at it.

    Sunroof won’t open upward to vent mode

    The dealer told me it was the track and an $1100 part plus 10 or 20 hours to fix (by the Ford book). I don't recall if it was 10 or 20. I just knew were going to do without a sunroof. After reading your posts, though, there may be life after dealer.

    Sunroof won’t open upward to vent mode

    Nothing like that from what I could tell. It went from working to not working just like that. It did however, quit working when the womenfolk in my life (wife/daughters) were driving. I wasn't present.
