    Brakes done. Now tires. Want Michelin’s but not sure I trust retail tire giants. Any suggestions?

    Annoying vibration above 65mph

    Here’s what the 4x4 shop told me was done wrong. The weights were all placed on the same side of the wheel vs on opposite sides. In other words if you put a weight on the top of the wheel say 12’oclock then the next weight can’t be next to it or near it, it has to be at the 6’oclock or...

    Annoying vibration above 65mph

    At 65mph? I didn’t know you could do that. What happens when you put it back into drive at that speed?

    Annoying vibration above 65mph

    I had to go to three different places to get my tires balanced properly. One was the local dealer, nope. Went to my indy guy tells me a wheel is bent, nope. Went to a 4x4 shop they told me wheel is fine that the previous balances were done incorrectly. My truck was vibration free past 80mph.

    Front brake rotors and pads recommendation please

    Just got them on. Feel silky smooth so far. The OE pads I had we’re almost down to bare metal and the rotors were rusted. Hopefully these Golds will fare better.

    Front brake rotors and pads recommendation please

    I tried those years ago. The rotors warped in 12,000 miles. The first time I hit the brakes I almost went through the windshield but they didn’t last for me.

    What about rotors

    Front brake rotors and pads recommendation please

    My brake pads are signaling so I’m considering Duralast ceramic pads and rotors from Autozone. I don’t like the dust of OE that I have on now. Any recommendations? Only fronts are needed. My driving style is almost all highway so stops are from high speeds. Thank you.

    Considering high mileage Eco Boost - What am I missing?

    That’s a huge risk. I missed the price of that truck but you’re buying it right when it’s going to need tons of repairs and maintenance.

    Ahhh, that popping sound when you turn the wheels all the way

    The pop is coming from front driver side wheel area. I’ll have to look into that but I’m done pumping money. I just put all 4 new cats w pipes and all fluids flushed. She drives as she is till 300k then I’ll either retire her to just a tow rig or sell it on eBay. She runs great though at 236,***.

  17. Machete

    Transmission fluid type?

    Today tranny flush, front diff oil, transfer case oil, coolant flush, and ps flush. Oil change last week. She’s good for another 50,000.

    Ahhh, that popping sound when you turn the wheels all the way

    Nah. It’s a bushing somewhere but everything is tight so I’ll leave well enough alone. Now it doesn’t do it every time.

    Eddie Bauer frustration

    I did all those replacements. Battery, starter, then the friggin alternator gave out. They said there’s a wire dongle off the alternator that should be replaced at the same time I went ahead and did it. It was corroded.

    New catalytic converters w pipes

    No it was a tin can rattling underneath engine compartment behind front tires up-in-der. It was intermittent but started to increase. I thought it was the ac compressor but nope.

    Lower Radiator Hose AGAIN!

    That’s my approach to parts on my ole gal. If the OEM lasted this long why spend more for an aftermarket or risk aftermarket quality and fitment? I always try to go OE if available.

    New catalytic converters w pipes

    Installed Walker’s with pipes for both banks. Sounds great feels great. How bad were they? So rusted the insides were rattling around and blocking gasses.

    2000 expedition... engine issues..

    Get a second opinion. No a blown head gasket repair is not an engine rebuild or replacement. It is an opportunity to update other parts given the invasive nature of the job but people do get them fixed. Sounds like you need a good honest mechanic. Call the dealer and ask what the price for that...
  24. Machete

    2000 xlt 200,000 miles bad trans worth fixing?

    There are several for sale that are running for $3000-$4000 w decent mileage.
