    2012 fuel filter location on the xlt?

    My 2013 does not have a filter external of the fuel tank. Rock auto indicated i had one, which I ordered, only to find my expedition didn't have one. Appears to be some different experiences out there, so best to look and follow the fuel line from the tank up and check yourself.

    2017 (EL) Lift, Tires, Suspension

    On my 2013 I changed out stock struts front and rear with napa branded assemblies, and added 2 inch spacers front and rear at same time. Front upper control arms contact coil at full droop, which drives me crazy. Once ball joints need replacing will try a aftermarket upper control arm for more...

    Is my ‘14 going to fully charge an AGM battery?

    I've been running agm batteries in my old 97 dakota and my 77 gmc motorhome. Never an issue with state of charge. And using stock alternator in both.

    No start after HG replacement

    Backfire is usually a sign of incorrect ignition timing. After cranking are your plugs wet? How did you maintain crank to cam timing?

    2009 Timing Snapped and Need Advice

    From what you describe, seems worst case is a reman head, timimg job, if you want to keep cost low. Pistons always win the fight with valves.

    Driver and Passenger doors - don't "pop" open from inside.

    Replacing the weather stripping that attaches to the body and seals against the door brought back that bit of popping open on my 2013. Only done the driver door thus far, cause I had a wind noise issue.

    Broken valve spring?

    Do you have all of the plugs removed during your test? That will help remove strain on the battery and starter. And keep a charger on the battery during this process. Normally I'd crank until the gauge reaches its highest reading, normally takes a few seconds of cranking to do that.

    Fuel Injector Wire

    I have not seen a standard port fuelinjector that was polarized, really shouldn't matter.

    Missing bolt? Confused

    What do you mean by wont stay in? Won't tighten up? Id suspect some of the aluminum threads came out with the bolt during removal. Does a different m6 bolt tighten up in that home? Damaged bolt hole threads can be fixed with a helicoil pretty easily if that's the issue.

    Fan motor resister has gone out and defaulted on high speed

    Take a look at the mating connector, they are failure prone. Mine had a couple burned up terminals. Had to replace connector and controller and been fine after.

    What the heck happened to my rotor? And which kit should I get, Detroit Axle or Powerstop?

    On topic of detroit axle - purchased a set of their strut assemblies, had shipped to house. They sent me parts for a different application than I purchased. Got that straightened out, but a year later one of the springs cracked, so I had to replace again. One person's experience, but that was...

    2010 - 2014 5.4 cam phaser parts et al end of life?

    Some of The followers on the passenger side had play in their rollers, so I replaced both pass and driver side followers. The cam journals are aluminum, cam is steel, only way to fully address is a new head. Play in mine was about .002, really just enough to feel move. I left as it was, but...

    2010 - 2014 5.4 cam phaser parts et al end of life?

    Did my 2013 at approx 110k. Had noise at startup rarely. In my case, both tensioner seals had failed and the pass side cam had started to wear in its journals. I replaced chains, guides, tensioners, roller followers, and added high volume oil pump. With parts and special tools I was in for...

    Dipstick mod?

    Interested in a "real" indicator and tube as well. I did find that dorman has a steel pan with a drain plug for about 30 bucks on rock auto. Wish I had seen that before my fluid and filter change. Will add at next trans service to get the drain plug.

    2013 XLT Tow Hitch Bumper Cover?

    Harbor freight has a similar step that uses the receiver. I'm pushing 300lb and use it frequently to load the luggage carrier.
