    Water In The Oil?

    Pull the dipstick and see what color the oil is on that. That will determine the issue prior to an oil change.

    Water In The Oil?

    Sounds like a scam. I have never heard of an oil flush other than just changing the oil. Water (moisture) in the oil can be normal if the vehicle is driven on short trips frequently as it will not burn off. If you have a lot of water in it, sounds like a head gasket. If you have a whitish...

    Wheel Bearing Issue...but Id Like a 2nd Opintion

    I agree with Asim. It could be the tires, so rotate the rears to the front. If it's still there, then I would say the bearings are bad. Worst case would be the transfer case, but bearings are more likely.

    tires

    A little bit off the beaten path, but I just got Yokahama Geolander AT-S put on the rear. Rode very nice on my 1000 mile trip over X-mas, and they got pretty good reviews for wet weather/snowy conditions. Money was tight, and I got them for $146 a piece, so that was a factor in choosing them...

    Buying A 2003 EB

    +2...I would be leery of all the electrical issues. I would wait until something with fewer issues comes along......unless you like to work on your vehicles.

    I think it's a goner...

    Wow!! Glad your kids came out ok from this. Could have been a lot worse, especially if they were in a smaller vehicle. If deer are common by you (and I would assume they are), I would reconsider getting a smaller vehicle. Anything lower and a deer goes right into the windshield, where the...

    Shocks or Struts

    Struts. Not easy to replace without a good spring compressor and patience since you have to remove tie rod bolts and upper control arm bolts to get the whole strut out (front and rear).

    How do I replace the PCV hose?

    If you're replacing it, just cut it off.

    Apparently my Expedition doesn't like the rain

    Something else to check is the sunroof drains if you have one. When those get clogged, water will run down the A-pillar and get the ECU wet shorting it out.

    Can A 99 Expedition tow his?

    Nah, not too short...look at my sig with the 26 ft boat. A WDH is a must though with anything over 6000 lbs in total trailer weight, or 600 lbs tongue weight.

    OK I need some help, 2000 Expy, 5.4 stumbling and stalling

    Dripping injectors need to be replaced. Bank 1 lean sounds like a vacuum line needs replacing due to cracking, or needs to be reinstalled if it slipped off the nipple. The only way to know which one is to inspect all of them. Is it possible the oil is clogging up a mis-installed vacuum line...

    2011 Expedition EL uphill stuttering

    Definitely take it in as it's under warranty. How many miles do you have on it? Is it jerking or stumbling? Jerking would be tranny related, stumbling would be an engine issue (running rough or missing).

    not so impressed with bilstein shocks

    I recently replaced my shocks with Bilsteins and love them. My stocks were pushed to 70K and were totally shot as I had no problem compressing them by hand. I'm now at 75k with the Bilsteins and love them. They will not totally absorb the bumps (think numb response), but they give good...

    Need help engine swap info

    It should be a direct swap. Was the new engine running fine before you installed it in your truck? Are the pi heads an upgrade or just stock spec replacements? Is the roughness a low idle, a miss, or? A CEL is a check engine light which signifies it is throwing a code. If you have a code...

    Need some stereo input...

    Since you will lose the rear console radio controls once you remove the stock HU, you will need to splice the wires in the DVD harness like I did so you will have sound through the headphones. The Audio out from the DVD runs a long loop from the DVD to the HU, to the rear controls and back...

    Need some stereo input...

    Welcome to the site. My writeup may help with an install of a double-din. Others here have some pretty good info too. http://www.expeditionforum.com/showthread.php?t=6296&highlight=kenwood+dnx-5140

    New Front Bumper

    I like the Lightning bumper the best. The others are too ricey for me. If you go the L route, get a roll pan too to make both ends mesh. Something to consider is the Harley lower valence on the stock bumper. That simple addition does make a difference.

    Rattling Noise from Driver-Side Door

    Don't forget to check inside the B-pillar for the rattle too. The seat belt tensioner is in there, and I'm sure some wires run up and down there too.

    Need input!!

    ^^^^^^+4. GEM got wet from bad windshield seal or leaking sunroof that ran down A Pillar (but usually that just leaves a puddle on passenger footwell.).

    Blowing out spark plugs

    AFAIK, The 5.4 had 2V heads up to (including?) 2005. The 4 thread heads (those with the blown plug issues) disappeared in 2003 when they switched to 8 thread heads. The 3V heads have the seizing plug issue.
