    Normal or abnormal???

    From a GOOGLE search: Your steering wheel can shake if your pads are contaminated with oil, dirt, or other substances. They can cause vibration when they grip the rotor. This shaking can also happen if the pads are warped, damaged, or excessively worn. If it's your brake pads, you will likely...

    RUST....WHY?

    Fords were purchased new. As for the location, GMs existed in the same climate.

    RUST....WHY?

    I don't have a car maker preference. If you read my post, I bought Fords to support a friend who was selling them. My experience has been zero rust with GM, 100% rust with Ford.

    RUST....WHY?

    Apparently they do, but I never experienced rust in any of my GMs.

    RUST....WHY?

    For many (30+) years, the only vehicles I owned were GM, and experienced zero rust problems. Since I bought into Ford (2004 Expy) (2006 Mustang) supporting a salesman friend, I have experienced rust in both vehicles. As a member of the Corvette Forum, I read many threads that labled the Mustang...

    Spare Tire

    Replaced tires on my 2004 in 2017 after 17000 miles due to dry rot. My situation is a little different than most as my Expy is only driven in town. Sure, there was good thread remaining, but the rubber was starting to crumble. If a vehicle is driven at highway speeds, tires should be checked...

    Steve, if we could only convince Costco to install the batteries they sell. A battery change is a big deal for me now. :sad72:

    Nice job on the Costco battery purchase, Ken. I think Costco only carries Interstate now, and it is the best battery deal. By your electrical measurement readings, it would appear the charging system is normal, and the culprit was a faulty battery. :waytogo: FYI: Interstate does not...

    shop repair manual

    Manual info on CD is available for about $265. Don't know how that price compares to a printed version.

    That is good news, Ken. But that doesn't mean it will start again on its own battery power. You need to load test the battery and charging system.

    If your co-worker's batt pack works, don't shut of the engine until you have access to a charger.

    No Electrical

    Only because I was a commercial off-shore fisherman, where there is no road service, I carry a jumper battery pack. A simple fix would be to remove and clean the batt cables and posts of any corrosion, then attach the cables firmly. Your idea of shorting the jumper cables will show if you have...

    Can’t find coolant leak location...

    As suggested by moose, did you check for the leak when the system was at temp (pressurized)?

    Where does the oil go?

    Don't know why you are losing/using oil without a diagnosis of all the fittings, gaskets, and plugs It is suggested that you fill your oil reservoir to the upper dot on the stick. At midpoint, you are probably 1 quart low.

    2004 Expedition MPG Fluctuating

    From another Ford forum (may help ?): Here's what your owners manual says: Average fuel economy. The display will indicate the vehicle’s average fuel economy in liters/100 km (or miles/gallon) since last reset. -To reset the average fuel economy: 1. Press the MODE control repeatedly until AVG...

    Help 06 expy multiple fuses no power

    If it cranks, it is turning over........"crank" and" turn over" are synonymous. I think you mean it cranks, but does not start (run).

    Maintenance on 2007 Exp EL

    Might be wise to verify age of tires. Any tire older that 8 years may be suspect. https://www.tires-easy.com/blog/tire-dot-date-code/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3YqM0Kza4AIVCB-tBh1hUwxCEAAYASAAEgJNivD_BwE
