    P0442 Check Fuel Inlet any advice?

    2010 Limited (not EL), 170K miles. This has been going on for a while. I have a full understanding of the issue (slow leak on EVAP system test, like having a loose gas cap). I've cleaned/lubed/exercised the capless fuel filler 3 different times. I have inspected the wires to the canister...

    Full synthetic price

    No problem...not raining on my parade. The term I was looking for was 'check valve'. Most oil filters have a check valve but the question is, how well do they work. The Motorcraft filter consistently works much better than anything else I've tried. If you search any forum that includes 5.4L...

    Full synthetic price

    Just a note: For those with the 5.4L, only the Motorcraft filter is designed with the backflow valve, so that it holds pressure to the timing chain tensioners and phasers much better. I am starting to experience a bit of chain slap during startup due to leaking tensioners and I can confirm...

    Recoating power running board step pad?

    I used this also on my folding running boards after careful preparation, and it has held up reasonably well (about 2 years now), however, there is about a 3" circle worn off where I step each time. It will need done again this summer I think, and I'll look for something different to use this...

    Show me your rust...

    Agree, it's the salt. I live in Michigan close to the lake and we get tons of snow. But the county trucks are very selective with where they put salt down. Typically it's a small patch at a stop sign, or on a curve. The rest of the time they use sand, or it's just a snow-packed side road and...

    2007 owners help please!!!

    Yep, I had a 2007 and same thing happened. I just replaced the ends and it worked fine. I like the idea of going to a car audio shop with hydraulic crimpers...great idea!

    4wd and TSC

    These are all great posts, and informative. I agree that generally, 4A and TSC off work better at slow speeds, and TSC should be on at higher speeds. Having had Expy's for years, it's almost second nature for me to be flipping between 2H, 4A and 4H as well as TSC off/on and even Tow/Haul...

    11 navigator stalling out

    I'd say clean the MAF (5 minute job) first. Not sure how many miles you have on the vehicle but it could be the COPS. FYI, I've read that the Accel versions are junk. I've used the AC Delco ones that are made in Mexico...around $220 for the set and I've been happy with the longevity...about...

    Cold morning steering a bit stiff

    Yep try flushing the fluid first, before throwing parts at it. Mine was also stiff and noisy when cold, and looked like coffee. It had never been changed before. (2010, 156K miles). I was also starting to get a 'binding' when turning the wheel. Did some research and found out the u-joints...

    RESOLVED! - 2010 Expy - Engine missing on hills

    Sounds like coil packs to me. Was the engine washed recently? There are a ton of posts on this. They don't like water, and they don't last much longer than 100K miles. Some will disagree with that, but I've had to replace them on every Expedition I've owned. And 'jumping/sputtering' under...

    Intro and Question about payload and towing packages

    Google "2010 Ford Expedition Towing Capacity", (insert whatever year you are looking at), and you should be able to find the official Ford document. For example, this is for my 2010, which is set up for 8900 lbs because it has the tow package. 4x2's are 9200 lbs. Scroll down to the second and...

    2011 Expy EL Ltd - Water in Passenger-Side Floorboard

    I'm not sure if this is your issue or not, but my 2010 Limited had a similar issue. I bought it used several years ago and when I got it home I noticed that the passenger side floor mat and carpet was wet. Also had a musty smell, as the problem had been going on for a while. I did the normal...

    Read this post: https://www.f150online.com/forums/v8-engines/239256-check-engine-codes-po171-po174-system-bank-what-do-they-mean.html Sounds like you have an air leak, or maybe O2 sensor(s) are bad? Good luck!

    New (to me) 2010 Expy. New to Ford. Newb questions...

    I find that if I am anticipating a pass (slow car in front of me) in the 30-60mph range, pressing the trailer tow button on the shifter prior to mashing the gas has helped much with downshifting quicker and giving you the right gear. As for the overall hesitation and cold roughness, I'm going...

    2014 Power Running Board

    Did you try spraying all of the moving points with WD40? I'm assuming you did already but just wanted to point that out since mine exhibit the same characteristics about every 3 months until I give them some TLC. I shut them off completely in the winter as they continually have issues with...

    New (to me) 2010 Expy. New to Ford. Newb questions...

    It's my preference and opinion. You can take it with a grain of salt. This is why I end my posts with "My 2 cents". I base it on the fact that I've had 2 expeditions and one F150, all with 5.4v, all with over 100K miles. All 3 of the vehicles have had at least one or more COP's fail...

    2012 Sluggish Acceleration - Please Help

    Ticking noise: they all tick, especially with higher mileage. Some worse than others. With 98K miles, I would: 1. change spark plugs 2. replace coil packs 3. clean mass air flow sensor 4. oil change (which you've done). Use the recommended weight..don't use something different to try...

    New (to me) 2010 Expy. New to Ford. Newb questions...

    I would be willing to bet money it's your coil packs. You are close to 100K and they do get weak with age and use. There's no surefire way to test them under load, and many times they aren't acting up enough to throw codes. I've been down this road with 2 Expy's ('07 and '10) and had exactly...

    18' Navigator Concept...thoughts or things to add/change

    Did you happen to ask them if the next Navigator will be body-on-frame, or will it be a unibody/crossover thing? Just wondering if it will pull my boat. When I look at that Navigator concept, I keep seeing the Ford Flex underneath...is it roughly the same size? If the next one doesn't tow at...

    Help me diagnose a coolant leak?

    Good to hear...easy fix. Make sure you dry out the spark plug wells thoroughly. Causes havoc with the COP's.

    18' Navigator Concept...thoughts or things to add/change

    Wow thanks for sharing...I've not seen this one yet. If this is going to be the next Navigator, then this vehicle no longer shares anything with the upcoming Expedition. The next Expedition will use much of the F150, and will remain a body-on-frame vehicle, and my guess is the current...

    Rear wiper

    If you want to replace just the blade, it snaps onto the arm. If you want to replace the whole arm, it's the nut under the cap. Watch this video and it will make sense.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iC4r8iIHZY

    Looking for the best cell phone holder solution

    Yes you are correct...it's very hard to find a good place to mount a phone holder in these things. I have had this gooseneck mount for years and probably used it in 10 different cars. It's been perfect in all of them. This time, instead of buying a cradle that's specific to my phone, I tried...

    Feels/sounds like rumble strips when at 35/45 mph...help!

    No, just remove the cap and dipstick on the passenger side of the transmission. It's a pain, for sure. I just changed the transmission fluid and filter on my 2010 this weekend. It went very smooth and wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, FYI. Having 4 steel ramps helped a bunch!
