    Window Bounce Back - After Replacing Window Regulator

    Have you tried holding it in the up position for five seconds and then holding it down for five seconds to relearn? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thin pink fluid under engine?

    Looks like coolant to me from where it’s coming from. Check your radiator....my guess is the fluid is pink. Could be tranny cooler, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tom’s 2014 XLT 4X4

    Your rears look more like my Nivomat self leveling shocks. Do you have a close-up of the part number on them for comparison? I’m hoping the ‘14 rears that I just ordered on EBay are the standard smaller shocks so I can put my Bilstiens in them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Quick shock question

    Thanks for the reply. I just ordered a set off of a 2014 from EBay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Exhaust fumes in cabin

    X2 on the spark plugs. You are due. My exhaust stank bad before I changed my plugs at 84k. As for the noise, that’s tough to tell without a video. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Quick shock question

    I want to replace my rear Nivomats with Bilstiens and need to buy some used rear shock assemblies to accomplish this. My question is, what year model rears are compatible to reuse on my ‘15? Are all 3rd Gens going to work? Mike Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best RIM Size Selection for Off Road

    Less rim and more tire is the rule off-road. Serious guys for 4WD want 15” wheels, but probably not for tour Expedition. 20s don’t give you enough rubber between the wheel and rocks off-road, so give with an 18 at most. I’d probably be looking more at 17s if I was going to be in the rocks at...

    Mild vibration

    No, but the process is pretty straight forward. If you’ve done front shocks, you’ve almost done IWEs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mild vibration

    Yep, I did that on an F-150 as a fail safe. It won’t cause any problems. If it persists, it’s not the valve. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IWE still grinding... HELP!

    The vacuum line still hooks up but they connections on the IWE are closed, so the vacuum goes nowhere. All is good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looks like Bilstein is now making 5100s for the 15-19s!!

    You should be able to knock off the perch. My 2015 perches came right off. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with Bilstein rears just sitting in my garage because I didn't realize that I had Nivomat rears on mine. Now I'm wondering which will be better for heavy towing. Replace the rears with stock...

    Mild vibration

    Did you take the line off after the solenoid, where it begins its trip down to the IWEs and test it from there with just a hand pump tester? (with the engine off). This will test the actual IWEs and whether they are holding. Your description sounds like you are testing the actual vacuum being...

    Mild vibration

    If you want to learn everything about your IWE 4WD system (and more than you want to know), this is a good post. I found this when I had my first exposure to IWE problems in my 2015 F150. All of it is relevant to your Expedition. These things haven't changed...

    You should be able to hold between 20-24 psi. If the gauge drops over a 5 minute hold, then you have an iwe leaking. They are on the same main line, so you would have a hard time telling which one is leaking. If they fail the test, just replace both of them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You could test if the iwe is losing seal by hooking a vacuum tester up to the line. If it holds, your iwe isn’t the culprit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    "Check Brake System" and no codes?

    I had this problem on an older Chevy pickup. I removed the ABS module, cracked it open and re-soldered all of the connections. No more lights. The vibration at the module causes the solder points to loosen up. Mike Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I can’t say for sure unless the leak is bad enough that the hubs are actually engaged when it’s cold and eventually start holding vacuum when the seals get warmed up a bit and then begin to disengage some. Just a guess Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I would put money on it being the iwe still. Try putting it in 4WD and see if it goes away. Sometimes the iwe itself loses seal and tries to engage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    With 84k miles, you may be looking at needing spark plugs with that misfire. I experienced a misfire at 85k and plugs fixed me right up. Mike Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2015 P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire

    Nevermind, after over a week of driving, the symptoms haven’t appeared again and no codes. I think it was an aging code from before the plugs that was still there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IWE still grinding... HELP!

    Got the new Dormans installed with no problem. No more grinding. The only thing that moderately concerns me long-term is whether there is any transfer case wear that can occur with the front shaft always turning with the 4A case, but still in 2WD. I tried a spin test on the ice on the way home...

    IWE still grinding... HELP!

    However, nothing should be moving in the differential to make a sound if the IWEs are unlocked and the shafts aren’t spinning, right? With mine, it completely goes away in 4WD. I’ll be putting in the new IWEs with vacuum delete today. I’ve been driving with the vacuum disconnected with no noise...
