    2001 5.4l Triton Engine Knocking Noise

    I know the “don’t have the money” feeling. It really sucks. How’s the oil pressure? From looking at the vids it looks like you have done a recent oil change? My oldest Son buys cars that have same type noise and 7 times out of 10 a fresh oil change has corrected the knock. Dirt and crud...

    Bumpy ride

    Ditto on smooth, quite ride. I have the 301 which has std springs/shocks but it still rides great. Sometimes the type tires/wheels you have, the air pressure you run in the tires has a lot to do with ride, comfort and noise. Mine came with the Toyo Open Country tires and I believe they are...

    2018 Expedition oil consumption

    Wow......that’s a lot of oil....something definitely wrong so don’t let Ford wiggle out of this one, they built that engine and forgot about putting rings on one piston.....it seems. Keep us posted..

    How much are you guys paying for brand new '19s?

    When was your 18 built? Some earlier 18s have had an outside mirror problem just wondered if yours has that problem. Most that were built in early 18 seem to have the moving mirror error, that’s why I asked what date yours was built.....

    How much are you guys paying for brand new '19s?

    Well maybe I jumped the gun on the mirror fix. But, I was thinking since I don’t have the mirror problem I assumed it was fixed somewhere during assembly.....you still have the problem? If none of the later ‘18s have that problem you would think Ford has created a fix. There are two 18s in my...

    How much are you guys paying for brand new '19s?

    My Expy is an 18. Born on date: 24 Aug 18, on dealers lot Sep 18 and I signed the deal on 6 Oct 18. If your 18 was built after 1 Jul 18 I think most all of the fixes have been made for the antifreeze, a/c contamination, outside mirrors and can’t rem the other one or two. Mine has been solid...

    Expedition Expedition to Alaska

    Should be normal BOB type stuff. I think it’s paved all the way now, so no need for steel plates under tank, driveshaft, trans and oil pan. Used to be a killer drive but the scenery made up for it. I would take five gallons of gas too. Skeeters will be big and hungry.....good luck bud....

    You make a good point.....I’m keeping all my old stuff in case we get hit with a Electromagnetic Pulse bomb and the only cars on the I think you are talking about the heater core. I don’t see a connection between the heater core and the coils?? Of course my wife tells me “you don’t...

    Timing chain

    Take a timing light and you can check the plugs and wires to see if either is bad. Just hook the business end of the timing light to the spark plug wire, then point the timing light at your palm and watch to see if it’s a continuous flash or a flash that jumps in a irregular pattern. This test...

    I'm buying an Expedition, suggestions and knowledge please!

    You ain’t getting old till you hit about 63.....it’s just a number my friend. I have the Expy Ecoboost with 3.73 gears and 10 speed. Don’t tow anything near 9000 lbs but I wouldn’t hesitate to do that with the Ecoboost. I watched tons of YouTube vids and talked to actual owners before pulling...
