    Cylinder 8 misfire under high acceleration

    You've almost certainly got a pinhole coolant leak dripping into the well and killing your #8 coil (again) or the wiring there or maybe the injector (I forget if that's also possible). Coolant doesn't really evaporate and just stays there. Speaking from experience that this is a thing that...

    2022 Expedition XLT - adding fog lights

    Just install some kind of LED projectors down there. Lazy move would be to wire them to the headlights (downside - always on), or you could wire them up properly and add a switch somewhere too.

    5.4L 3v Timing job: tips, tricks and lessons learned

    Regarding plugs being right there: they're ALWAYS right there and always will be. You can swap them out without removing anything whatsoever (if nothing is messed up and you don't have the plugs that can break apart and do decide to break apart on you). Some stretching involved and shorter...

    Tell me this isn't what I think it is

    Try Rotella T6 5w40 Diesel oil if it isn't totally effed. Seems to mute a lot of the ticking.

    Parasitic Draw - Anti Theft

    3rd gens have something parasitic for sure, the alarm or the remote or something will drain the battery if you don't drive it for more than a week. I've owned 2 - an Expedition and a Gator L - and both did that.

    2016 XLT 2nd row Bench Vs Captain's Chairs?

    I used to run with a removed middle seat, iirc you just put the bolts back in for most of the holes. There might have been a couple pins that weren't bolts, if so put in a rubber/plastic stopper and/or tape over it or something.

    Who’s getting a ‘25?

    Nope, don't want it What the Hyundai-Kia is that thing?! The Gators look pretty solid, though, might pick one up used after a few years. Although I'm not entirely sold on that weird strip (light bar? what is that thing?) down the middle of the grille.

    Shakes in park after driving, P0012 and P0022 codes

    2009 Expedition SSV, V8, 4wd. Shakes in park after driving when I pull into a parking spot. Has been doing it intermittently for a week or two, used to have no codes, just now finally threw a check engine light and P0012 and P0022 codes. Ideas? Suggestions? Thx.

    Bleeders seized up on two old front calipers, what now?

    Got em bled after all, not much air in there at all - couple tiny bubbles. The "trick" was as simple as throwing a deep socket over the bleeder and giving it a gentle (!) pull. I usually never use regular wrenches for anything and have forgotten just how much less effective those were.

    Bleeders seized up on two old front calipers, what now?

    PS at first it pumped out lots of air bubbles. Ended up bleeding out like 600-700 mL of fluid from the rear two calipers before it ran clean and bubble-free, if that information changes anything

    Bleeders seized up on two old front calipers, what now?

    I replaced the two rear calipers and bled them successfully, but the two old fronts have seized up bleeders. Front brakes were OK and functioning before I started working on it. Is it likely to be OK or do I really need to get them undone and complete the procedure? Note: one of the rear...

    Alarm being triggered randomly for no apparent reason

    Random case of frequency overlap with something? Some kid next door pressing the remote for his Chinese LED lights or something?

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

    Probably When I tried to take it off, it started falling apart and spit out the piston, so I ordered new calipers for ~$110 instead of risking it.

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

    It looks intact. Couple scratches and some rust, but it's ROUND and it's, like, ALL THERE.

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

    So, grinding noise from the back, then I see... THIS. What/huh/what, how does that even happen? Which kit should I get to replace it, Detroit Axle or Powerstop? Or is a 3rd reasonably priced alternative preferred? Thx.

    Seatbelts - all same? Same in same row? Or same on same side?

    Bump, anybody know?

    HIDs? Or quit complaining about brightness?

    Just be aware that: 1) You need a projector housing for HID and preferably for LED too 2) Aftermarket housings last 3 years if parked outside. Not 13, not 10, not even 5.

    Seatbelts - all same? Same in same row? Or same on same side?

    My driver's front seatbelt is getting a little tired and SHARP, it keeps chewing up shirts and sweaters and even giving me paper cuts. I got some Chinese shoulder pad thingie for 5 bucks, but still... can I just swap it over to somewhere nobody ever sits instead? Which other belt positions in...

    I dropped the fuel tank on my 2011 XLT 2WD and I do not see a fuel filter anywhere. Where would it be?

    Sounds about right, I went by some instructions and bought a fuel filter for my 2009 Expy... went down there to change it and the dang thing wasn't there. Had a Gator L too for a while (2011? 2012? something like that) and it didn't have one either. People are lazy and just write crap in...

    Convert 2nd row bench to captains chair's

    You don't need a bench, you just need to buy the second row middle seat from a modder who removed his or a salvage yard and to disconnect the armrests if you have them Otherwise, the seats are identical The middle seat mounts with just several bolts, the body holes should exist already. Just...

    Sleeping/storage platform for 3rd Gen Expedition

    2nd and 3rd rows fold absolutely flat unless you have captain chairs or a middle console (if so, swap to 8 seater configuration). Just toss an air mattress over it and you should be fine unless you're like 7ft tall. Get a roof rack or one of those luggage box things for stowing your stuff on...
