    Stuck at gas station truck won’t start

    IIRC, pulling the battery cables resets the powertrain and clears the fault codes, but does not reset the drivetrain (transmission). Shorting, described in the video, will reset everything. I don't have empirical data on that, though.

    Unfrickin...ah well, all is going to be okay......ahhhhhh

    Its not always the big crash where they come in handy. My hitch is back on, no matter how many times I crack my knees on it.

    Dash cams are putting the harsh on that tradition.

    Just ordered a log splitter. What kind of hitch mount do I need?

    If the splitter weighs less than 2000 pounds, you don't need to be concerned about hitch height or tongue weight.

    Tyre pressure sensor fault

    Ever had the sensors replaced yet? 11 years is a long time for a TPMS battery.

    Your favorite addition or accessory to your expedition?

    I'm pretty sure he's referring to a radar detector that the "VIPER" system can't detect. VA state police use radar detector-detectors. They generally target commercial vehicles, though. This guy got away with it. Notice that the cops start looking for the "hidden device" almost immediately.

    Very odd rattle

    Just fixed a rattle on mine. It was the exhaust pipe heat shield just barely touching the plastic spare tire shroud. It only rattled at low rpms, like at idle or backing up.

    Somebody 'plain this.....

    Was crawling around under the '17 Expy XLT yesterday and noticed the tread design on the spare was different than the the other 4. Sure enough, my spare is a Goodyear Wrangler while the original tires are the Hankooks. While typing this, it occurred to me that I need to look again to make...

    Lemon Check On A 2010?

    Why are you buying an SUV? For fun, to tow something, large family, etc.......? Engines don't fix themselves, no matter how strong the wish-casting is.

    Definition of Expedition

    I'm sorry, but............all this talk about what is or is not an SUV is cruel. Why has no one bothered to ask the vehicles how they identify themselves? Shame....shame on all of you.....

    Multiple misfire after fill up - coincidence?

    Start buying crappy cars...you'll eventually end up on Used Car Skid Row. "psst...hey man...I need a starter for a '83 Citation...can you hook me up?"

    2017 El limited rpm shudder at stop light?

    Thats the exact time the engine has the least momentum. Small loads have a larger effect. At 2000 rpm, you won't notice it.

    Let's talk about brakes baby...

    23k miles on rear pads seems a bit early. What did the shop mean by "...needed rear brakes" Was that intended to be just pads, or did they suggest new rotors, pads, and calipers?

    Towing Capacity on Used Expeditions

    That site does not provide the details of your specific vehicle. A lot of the information about my Expy that comes up on the site is wrong, or missing, like all of my option packages.

    Power Tailgate

    Have you tried applying "gentle" pressure by hand in both directions when you want to close it? It sounds like the "fully open" sensor is not providing the signal.

    Multiple misfire after fill up - coincidence?

    The valve job ads have stopped. After I ordered some parts for my J Deere mower from Amazon, now I'm getting lawn care ads.

    Has anyone pulled out a tree stump with thier expy?

    I just call the stump grinder guy. 15 minutes, BOOM. Done. I do give up the great "how I got rid of my stump" story, though.

    Has anyone pulled out a tree stump with thier expy?

    Lots of different types of steel. Some are brittle, some are ductile, some are plastic, some are elastic. There should be very little stored energy in a steel chain; if it begins to stretch that means its failing. And unless its a high yield steel chain, that stretch (damage) is permanent and...

    Engine Coolant 3.5L

    Its going somewhere....... The best way to refill when its "way below the min" is to wait until the engine is cool (overnight), then take off the radiator cap and fill the radiator right to the rim. Replace the cap, then fill the overflow tank to the FULL COLD mark. Keep an eye on the...
