    costs to install new body mounts, 2008 XLT ??

    I heard knocking. Thought it was inside but could not find it. Looked under body and body mounts have no rubber. What was left crumbled in my hand. What should costs be to replace these? I think there are six? Part numbers? Better to go rubber or poly? Thanks!

    Pretty funny slash awesome security feature...

    If everyone can drive with a bomb in steering wheels, why can't a gun be mounted in driver's seats to kill unwanted divers? Slaughter by remote control.

    What feature....?

    We use door openers, ignition switch, cruise control, turn signal. The needs for normal operation. I could do without turn signal and cruise control, but.

    Drive Control Malfunction after car wash

    A 2013 Soul is a better car than a 2008 Expedition and about same mileage. Trying to figure who to dump the Ford on. Hard choices. We drove through a Florida down pour and spray got under hood. Computer bonkers. Road spray soaks motor and can't be stopped. Does not take a pressure washer...

    Ford field service action number 21B10

    I leave vehicles at dealerships until repairs are completed for warranty work. The Lemon Law in SC considered how much time I used the vehicle. The number of times I went to dealer, the time needed for repairs counted. I do not let them force a unsatisfactory vehicle on me to kill warranty...

    MPG

    It seems that manufacturers design for set MPG. I had a class C road block on a Ford frame. It would get "about" ten MPG at a steady 55MPH or 75MPG. When we traveled the only real change was in the travel time. Like Uncle Carl told me when I looked at my first big-block-V8, "It costs to go...

    Ford field service action number 21B10

    A TSB is to quiet the complaints without great costs to manufacturers. That is because a TSB has limited life span and repair costs return to buyers, eventually some people with the problem will get screwed for lack of businesses fixing a known problem. A Recall is forever and the problem...

    Buy a motorhome. More comfort and better mileage. Even pulling a dingy.

    Dents, dents and more dents

    Modern tech must be good for us and dings are just a minor inconvenience we must suck up.

    Wind noise from driver's door?

    I just turn fan on to bring in fresh air and turn air nozzles away from my face. That increased inside air pressure so noise is exhaust and not throwing noise inside to my ears. Have always done this to keep inside quieter.

    How can I remedy an imbalance in my Expy's weight?

    This one might help: https://www.discountramps.com/al600_wheelchair_lift/p/AL600-Lift/ Watch the video link. This is the trailer that mounts to hitch. If you got the money honey, they got the hauler for your scooter: https://www.bruno.com/scooter-lifts/chariot

    Maybe even a scooter trailer.

    How can I remedy an imbalance in my Expy's weight?

    It might help to look for a lighter carrier. A rack weighing 400 pounds might weigh less if you can find an aluminum one. I had a powered carrier, with a swing away arm to access the rear. I eventually removed the swing away arm. That helped some. Then I went to a drive on, non powered...

    Gas overflow when filling the tank on a 2008?

    I do put hose in tank, open by trying to pump gas, and then select gas to start pumping. It made more sense to me than trying to clear hose by dumping fuel on ground. Don't know that it made a dimes worth of difference but I do a lot of other useless crap too.

    Added LED puddle lights at under $10 for both, total.

    Can the rapid turn signal be turned off when different, burned out, light bulbs are detected?

    Gas overflow when filling the tank on a 2008?

    Seems strange. How about when slower filling? I set the speed slow to go buy lotto tickets while filling. Kills time and two birds with one stone. LOL! Maybe some just take a fill slower than others.

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    I replaced fuel filter, drove out old gas, put in water remover and filled tank with new gas. Runs good now and only new part was the fuel filter.

    Gas overflow when filling the tank on a 2008?

    Do you use the same gas pump each time? I thought gas pumps have the shutoff, not the vehicle. If gas overflows I blame the pump.

    2009 Expedition Misfire

    my 08 acted the same way. Shop installed new fuel filter, that reduced the missing. I drove almost all gas out of car, added STP water remover to tank and fresh new fill up. Drives good now. I think it was all from bad gas. At least for my case.

    Dealer forgot to put bolts back!!

    "one time use"? Seems to describe many new things.

    Brake Issue

    My 2008 brake pedal felt spongy like air in the line, my opinion, and I took it in while still under warranty. Explained pedal slammed close to bottoming out in panic stop. I could double pump pedal to get firm pedal and brakes worked "normal". We had Ford "specialist" come to check it and he...
