    I liked the 2009 F-150 I test drove.... but the Ford dealership here already had 4 Rams on his used car lot so he really low balled me on my trades so I declined to purchase. Every place I've gone I've been low balled on both the Mercury and Ram so I'm inclined to believe it's just the...

    I know this probably sounds foolish but where is the wiper control located under the hood? I've followed the wiring out of the wiper motor and it runs into a large harness and off to who knows where.... My service manual is vague on what exactly controls the delayed wipers..... It's now not...

    Yeah me too, I went and drove one and I have to say the new Coil spring rear suspension is a huge improvement over my leaf spring 2006... I really love the body style but that body style is too new right now for me to jump on that band wagon... I'll wait until it's out a little while and they...

    By the way, I failed to mention ours has the 4.6... The engine that everyone kept saying was a junk engine when I was considering buying the SUV. I think it's proven to be a great engine. Honestly speaking, concerning the Dodge, My Brother has worked for the same Dodge dealer for 13 years as...

    1997 Expedition XLT (See Signature for Pic).... Purchased 10 years ago off eBay with 54,000 miles. It is all stock....Original engine, transmission and rear end....Nothing has been rebuilt. I've changed the oil faithfully every 2500-3000 miles...It's only gone over mileage one time while we...

    Checking it further shows the wiper motor is cutting out during the pause... It isn't acting like it's struggling or anything of that nature. It seems like it is just cutting out or losing power once the wipers reach a certain position. I guess what I need to know is if there is a separate...

    My wife has a 97 Expedition and she has begun having a weird issue with the wipers..... They worked fine yesterday and then today when she turned them on the wipers would swipe up (pointing to the sky) pause about 3-5 seconds and then swipe down... Of course it has never had the pause...
