    Scratch repair

    If it were me I would start with a no-grit wax. If that doesn’t help then go to a polish that is a bit gritty like a compound polish. That should remove the paint (if any). I’m talking a blue car with a white paint scratch, for example. You want to remove the paint the scratch made but not...

    AC leak in rear of 2007 exp

    No, don’t add refrigerant until you get the leak located and fixed. They also make a can of stuff that will bubble up on the leak area so you can find and repair it. Prob a O-ring needs to be replaced but that’s no problem.

    AC leak in rear of 2007 exp

    I would only use air pressure like Moose suggested. That way you don’t use up your refrigerant or dye. Once U put the air pressure on the low line side port then you will hear it hissing as long as u keep pressure on the low side and that will give you control of how much and how long to put...

    Misfire on No.7

    Yea a leaker or bad compression on #7 will cause the plug to look bad. I agree it may be time for a compression test.

    AC leak in rear of 2007 exp

    I feel ur pain on the a/c leak. Why can’t things be more simple like they used to be? I’m sure u checked the areas under the hood too. If it slipped ur mind, I would check for dye around the under hood compressor and lines going from there to the rear......if you can access them, that’s the...

    2007 Ford Expedition a/c inop

    Normally if you have a leak it is because one of the in-line O-Ring’s has hardened and srank allowing the Freon to leak out into the air. New O-Rings are not super hard to put in depending on vehicle and a/c blueprint. Most all the system is made up of aluminum which doesn’t rust. Good luck.

    Center console organizer?

    Reinforce with popsicle sticks if you think that would work for you. See the pop cycle sticks can work by being the 2x4s and the cardboard like the Sheetrock in building type code. I hear you on the mags. I got the Expy Limited NRA R/T model that has storage for a 9mm in the front and a M249...

    Center console organizer?

    If it were me I would just use cardboard and make it like the ones you buy. After all you can’t see it with lid closed nor can anybody else. Think I’ll make one for the Expy and post pics when it’s done.

    Keyless Start Fob (17 Platinum)

    Went into Auto Zone or Advance auto and their cost for the fob was like 20 bucks but after u buy the fob you have to buy the deal that allows you to program the fob. All told it was still over 100 bucks. Seems the auto part stores are keeping up with Ford on the cost to own a new fob....good...

    2008 Expy tapping.. lifter or cam phasers?

    Could be a lifter.....do you change ur oil every 5k? Sometimes dirt or a small peice of whatever will cause a lifter to tick and normally after an oil change it cleans the crap out and no more lifter noise. Is the Expy showing any codes? I have heard that the cam phasers have caused problems...

    Gen-2?

    Yes they are Jim. Solid steel crank, hollow camshafts and bottom end that’s stronger than a four bolt main would be. Oil squirts up into the bottom of the pistons to help cool things. Go to YouTube and search: 3.5 ecoboost torture test. They pretty much tried to distroy the engine but it...

    Automatic Engine Shutdown

    Oh, I see now which cutoff you’re talking about now, I thought you were referring to the momentary cutoff at a red light or stop sign....so, they will shut off after idel’in for a set amount of time? I need to read the manual a tad better next time.....

    Center console organizer?

    Can’t vouch for the CD player in the 19s as mine is an 18 and it’s right below the radio on the dash....but being in the console, seems it would be troublesome as you would have to open the console every time to insert or take a CD out. I’m just thinking in the wind and sometimes if the wind...

    no power to cam and crank sensors PLEASE HELP!!

    So your Expy is bacically dead in the water? Could be a bad crank sensor.....will the engine turn over at all? Most crank sensors will let the engine crank but will not start. Tell us what the engine is doing, crank or no crank, start or no start, etc.

    Hauling coal with a '14 with tow package

    You could actually add about two more tons on your trailer and still be fine, but don’t push the upper limits or go beyond the towing capacity specified by Ford......
