Don't confuse the Ko2's with the KO's. They are completely different tires.
I had Ko's on the expedition and was quite pleased with them. Winter traction was the only place where they had any issues at all.
That being said, I have KO2's on the Excursion and couldn't be happier with them. Last...
It's usually an easy fix. The mirror just needs to be pushed back in the other direction. Manually push the mirror glass back in the opposite direction until it is re aligned. You will hear some pops as the gears jump, but don't worry. It may take a bit of playing around to get it centered up...
A good programmer will make those shifts more snappy. Snappy shifts mean less slipping. Less slipping means a cooler trans. A cooler trans lives a longer life.
Those soccer mom super smooth shifts that Ford programmed in to the trans are a problem for anyone who tows.
The holy grail for sailors and boaters alike is to find a way to run the a/c on board without having to plug in or run the genset. Currently, there just isn't a practical way to do that without an impossibly large battery bank and a huge inverter. You can't get enough solar panels on the...
I've had great success with drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads from Brakemotive.
Had them on the Expy, and have them on the Excursion and my brother's Spotrac.
Rotors may be made in China, but you'll be hard pressed to find some that aren't. Even the AC Delco.
I'd bang on that spring with the mallet and then grab different pieces of the spring, mount, etc and see if you can locate where the rattling is coming from. You could wedge a screwdriver in some of the tight areas if needed. You will eventually find where it's coming from.
Sometimes the sway bar mount bushings can make that noise. These are the ones that mount it to the frame, not he links at either end.
Squirt a bit of WD40 on those bushings and see if the noise changes or goes away.
Then spray start spraying every rubber bushing you see. if none of them stop...
All those thins that you said still work, door locks, etc., are controlled by the GEM (generic electronic module). So it sounds like the GEM is still ok. Is your code reader self powered or does it use power from the truck? I'm trying to find out if there is power to the diagnostic port.
If you do any off roading, run that hose up and then zip tie it so that the top of the tube faces down. This will create an air trap that will help keep water from getting in the axle tube.
I'm pretty sure that all the big tool makers, (Mac SnapOn and Matco) all make a tapered socket with splines on the inside that you literally pound on to the lug nut so that you can remove it. They work best when used with an impact gun.
Once you have one off, you can match it up at the parts...
