    Leak repair on 4R75w transmission

    Fun job…I’ve been there a few times. Of course, it’s a great opportunity to do roller followers and lash adjusters if it’s in the scope of budget and future plans for the car. And if you do the oil pump, I’d avoid the Melling HV variant. My story with that thing was posted long ago and...

    Leak repair on 4R75w transmission

    Wow. So, you have a wrecked 06 Navigator and a 06 Expedition contributing to a 03 Navigator rejuvenation? Or is the 06 Expedition now in a condition it’s a usable vehicle and no longer a donor? I’m impressed with everything you have done.

    Odd noise

    Is it 4WD? I'm grasping here but if it is 4WD could the additional heat be affecting the vacuum actuated Integrated Wheel Ends (IWEs)... If you're up for it, put it through a stress test if there are roads in your area that allow for, let's say, multiple panic stops from speed. I did that...

    Can you clean or service a built-in PCV valve on 2005 Expedition?

    I believe you have to replace the cover on the ‘05 and up to replace the PCV. In my ‘06, I ran it through the parts washer until the check ball moved freely. Haven’t had any PCV issues that I’m aware of.

    No heat or cold

    Manual or Automatic Climate Control?

    2005 XLT misfiring intermittently

    You'd think there would be a stored code. Be on the lookout for a P030X code where X is the misfiring cylinder. Cylinder #1 is forward on the passenger side, #4 is aft passenger side, #5 is forward driver side and #8 is aft driver side. You'll want to determine how many miles are on the spark...

    2005 XLT misfiring intermittently

    My experience is this is a classic case of misfiring due to ignition. My 2006 when I first got it with 70K miles didn't like high load at high RPM...I'd occasionally see the flashing check engine light. Replacing the spark plugs fixed everything. They were shot at 70K miles. Last time it...

    Help! What is this sound ? Am I screwed

    Take the belt off and let it run for a minute and see if the noise changes.

    Melling M340HV A Problem with VCT Solenoids...?

    The M340HV seems to work for everyone but me. It must have been a stuck relief valve...or maybe my bottom end is tighter than everyone else's...ha ha. It's in the past now, the M340 is working just fine. I'll say it again, a Melling high volume pump separated my Bronco's FL1A oil filter's...

    Brake pedal to the floor

    2006 XLT 4WD here. I went through this about a year and a half ago and still have imperfect braking. Symptoms were pedal slowly went to floor when engine running but firm pedal once there was no vacuum to the booster. I was convinced based on previous experience the rear brake ABS circuit...

    Melling M340HV A Problem with VCT Solenoids...?

    I must be the only one in the world that’s had that happen. Great to hear it worked for you. I was shocked when FORScan lite showed both banks at 55 degrees. And unplugging the solenoids didn’t change anything. I put a Melling M360 high pressure pump on in 2017 and that pump never caused an...

    HOSED BY A HOSE....AT THE END OF MY ROPE.

    I’d drop the spare tire and look closer at the EVAP Canister nest. It doesn’t look like anything above the fuel tank, and doesn’t look like something Ford used in coolant lines. It’s certainly nothing from under the hood…mine is an ‘06 and have replaced every coolant and vacuum line from the...

    Missing hose and broken hoses

    @whtbronco thanks and confirmed, it's a vent. The bitter end was hiding under the low pressure a/c switch out of view. I know at least where the driver's side vent is located...

    Missing hose and broken hoses

    You probably won't find the IWE vacuum line assembly listed under Expedition. I looked, and looked... It fits my '06 just fine. Something to keep in mind, when in 2H and engine on, vacuum is being applied to the IWE's via the line coming from the solenoid. That's going to give you a mild...

    Missing hose and broken hoses

    It's hard to see, just took that picture. The rubber elbow next to the low pressure a/c sensor is on the actuation line coming from the solenoid. You're looking for a vacuum line that's wrapped with black flexible conduit, probably has fallen down behind the valve cover/engine; the connection...
