    2006 Ford Expedition Crank, no start with a lot of diagnostics...

    Did it look like someone's been in there before? This is almost worth pulling the passenger side valve cover to solve this mystery ! But if you see piston top damage, the motor is toast. If you have a borescope camera take a peak at the top of the pistons and see if there's been any contact...

    Ford Expedition has water leaking in second row after a rainy day help

    Pull the cargo racks off the roof, especially on that side, and inspect for rust holes. If you find any you can wire brush the rust away and patch the hole with JB Weld then touch up paint. Expedition roofs are famous for their rust holes. .

    Steering wheel loose

    Only thing I've been able to do is take a large hammer and punch and smack the shaft back down into the carrier .

    2008 king ranch radiator upgrade ??? (help pls)

    You can safely run a 180 degree thermostat without triggering a CEL for engine too cold. I would recommend buying or renting from your local autoparts store a cooling system pressure test kit and pressurize the system to find the coolant leak first, before you go spending money unnecessarily...
