    Roller Follower of Manifold leak?

    Manifold leak, more than likely the passenger side. That one goes first.

    OBD readers

    Forscan is the only way to go if you want full access.

    What color is my Eddie Bauer?

    Paint code and color should be found in the VIN number. There are a lot of VIN decoders on line, in fact you should be able to pull an exact copy if the window sticker up and lay all doubts aside as to what is original and what has been added.

    2011 Expedition No power very sluggish

    To make this problem a bit clearer - every engine these days are computer controlled. From variable valve timing to shift points, emissions, O2 intake, fuel mapping and on and on. So unlike the old days - jerk the motor, replace it with something close, bigger or smaller and turn the key...

    That’s either buy forscan or visit the dealer to make sure you have the correct map for this motor.

    Did you remap the computer when you dropped the new motor in?

    Very cool terminal on the battery. Homemade? Or where did you get it?

    TPMS Fault Issues

    The stock band type (around the rim near the hub.) TPMS units suck. Same issues with my 08, on multiple occasions. So when the time came for new tires (Costco) they replaced the band units with stem type monitors and I have had zero issues in the last four years.

    Ford not starting (might be relay)

    You should find a fuse map on the underside of the fuse cover. If you’re looking for the location of the fuse box - above the radiator in front of the engine. But I’m certain you know that. Check the fuses first is always great advice as given in a number of reply’s here.

    Spare key in a hitch vault? Safe?

    In short - NO! Use your key pad for re-entry and hide the extra key somewhere in side the truck. (Like maybe under the Jack in the back compartment.

    Where do you store your stuff?

    I was surprised at the lack of internal storage on our 2008. To remedy that problem, I bought a large black plastic storage bin with hinged locking (if desired) lid that fits between the second row captain’s chairs. It also serves as a table top for second row passengers and the arm rests still...
