    2008 Lower Air Dam Out of Place?

    I think this car was assembled in Mexico and might not be up to past American standards (I know a bad politically incorrect attitude). When looking at the fasteners the barbs on them did not look to have been pulled so maybe never inserted. And, the panel only had two fasteners instead of the...

    2008 Lower Air Dam Out of Place?

    I think sometimes even dealers will take in a damaged car, for whatever reason. and fix it without filing a damage report so car sells as new, undamaged. Greed does make the world go round.

    Rushing air sound under normal acceleration

    Not sure if this is even close but I had air noises (no ecoboost). I was searching everywhere for that noise but no luck. What solved the noise for me was running the A/C fan on second speed to build cabin pressure. This kept the air leakage going out instead of in and stop inside noise...

    3:73 gears and activex seating

    It seems that everything today is connected to silicon valley. When buying anything we have more choices for electronics that actual quality of the items we purchase. Like a fridge that will call us to let us know we need to buy more catchup, or some such electronic convenience. I will not...

    2008 Lower Air Dam Out of Place?

    Yes, for not going out with low temps. One nice thing about Florida is the lows do not last long or are they so low. This morning it felt like 38 and I had the heavy coat on. :( That picture shows some shrouds at either side of the radiator and I'll have to double check them since the one on...

    2008 Lower Air Dam Out of Place?

    I finally solved the problem. Thanks for old pictures on this site. The shield was to go forward and I tried to make it fit backwards. I'm waiting. This is the picture I needed to see. Hope the link works here. https://www.expeditionforum.com/media/this-is-what-needs-to-come-off.703/

    2 strange issues today

    Seems after I take car to dealership I will always have a couple return trips for extra "problems". I can count on it that return trips will come soon. Makes me distrust going to dealerships. Probably just my cars it happens to.

    Spare Tire Location

    Thanks, and that is how mine is mounted now but before the recent flat the valve was mounted on top. It did seem easier to get the rim capture piece in place with the face up since there was more room on the backside to insert it. With valve down the face is closer to the ground and tire must...

    2008 Lower Air Dam Out of Place?

    Good to see you have your priorities straight even if you can't do anything about outside temps. Being inside is worth a lot at temps like that. Hope you didn't get all that snow. I did try to loop the piece back up into place but the A/C hoses are stopping the fasteners from reaching the...

    Spare Tire Location

    Does the spare tire go with face of rim up, or down? Is it OK to mount tire with valve stem down? Or up? Silly question but I've asked other silly stuff. Thanks!

    2008 Lower Air Dam Out of Place?

    No. This is directly under the cooling fan, which is in front of the motor block. Under the car there is the radiator and behind that is the blade shroud and then the motor block. This piece goes from under the radiator and to the frame crossmember that is under the cooling fan shroud. The...

    2008 Lower Air Dam Out of Place?

    I have the retainers. Well I have four out of five that are needed. I need to see the fiber piece they fasten to the frame. Seems it is wrong or not installed where needed. Thanks!

    2008 Lower Air Dam Out of Place?

    Sometimes we have cats crawl onto the motor. I have been in the habit of slapping the hood, especially in cool/cold weather to give them a head start against the cooling fan hits them in the tail. I blame this problem on them but not sure if it is really their fault. At the bottom of the...

    2008 Expy XL tow package fast right turn signal caused???

    I did have turn signal on with each light socket being moved. Bulb was hot but I used gloves to protect fingers. I even wiggled the wire harness to see what happened. Nothing. I did read somewhere the bulbs might get loose in the socket so I tried to check for loose bulbs. Nothing. Next...

    2008 Expy XL tow package fast right turn signal caused???

    The "3 bulb on each side" are The driving light, the front turn signal light and the rear turn signal/brake light and the third brake light? Same for both sides. It would have been smart to ask which light was "loose" but I didn't. Might pay to go back and see if he remembers which bulb it...

    2008 Expy XL tow package fast right turn signal caused???

    While checking the front lights I saw a lower air dam that is out of place. It is made of fiber board and has four fasteners. It goes from the frame under the under the radiator to the frame. Looks our of place since nothing lines up. Can't find body parts online that look like it. Maybe...

    Flasher works normal speed. If normal is the same as the left, slower, turn signal.

    2008 Expy XL tow package fast right turn signal caused???

    I have checked all bulbs. Headlights (high and low), turn signals (all corners), Parking lights, Third brake light and other brake lights, all inside courtesy lights I can find. No difference. My next attempt is to disconnect battery to see if that is a reset needed. Should this need a...

    Engine warm up

    If the vehicle is operating as it should why aren't designed features enough to do their jobs. Like engine oil pressure for proper lubrication or other operating limits. Why wouldn't starting the motor and driving off be OK? Otherwise, The owner's manual should tell us of dangerous...

    2008 Expy XL tow package fast right turn signal caused???

    That was one of my first guesses since doors get banged, slammed and abused. I do not drive rough roads, much to bang them around. Still cannot find a bulb that does not light. And I do pay attention to them all the time. I finally drove around some and price of gas down to $202.99 so I...
