    coolant leak from intake

    The coolant crossover gasket was the culprit when I experienced a similar leak. I purchased both gaskets but the driver's side was the problem and only required removal of the thermostat and alternator for access. It appeared that intake removal was needed for the passenger's side so I decided...

    2007 Ford Expedition EL SLT Climate Control Blower Speed Issues

    How handy are you with a multimeter? I do not have the circuit diagram for your climate controls but there are very knowledgeable members in this forum. I suspect your power and ground connections need to be verified in a logical manner to isolate the precise cause of your issue. There are...

    Tire Pressure Sensor for 2008 Expedition

    I am consistently seeing TPMS PN 6F2Z-1A189-A and PN 7L1Z-1A189-A for you VIN and RockAuto provides the additional note "Exc. 433 MHZ; Exc. Accessory" for the latter. I imagine it's relevant if your current sensors are using 433 MHZ and you're not changing the complete set. Hopefully someone...

    Brakes

    Any codes present? Were any readings taken from the ABS speed sensors?

    Brakes

    I second MrSticker's suggestion. Isolate where the problem is occurring and follow up from there. Were the parking brakes checked?

    2011 Expedition Shock/Strut recommendations

    I am partial to OEM but since that hasn't worked out for you I can only suggest that you stay away Monroe Quick-Struts. I haven't come across a set that's lasted more than a couple of months on NYC roads. It's not worth the hassle of getting them warrantied and your vehicle realigned. I'm sure...

    2007 Ford Expedition EL SLT Climate Control Blower Speed Issues

    Check the blower relay if you're not getting any voltage to the blower motor. It's likely #1 in the engine compartment fuse box.

    2013 Navigator Engine Splash Shields

    Here's the PAS side replaced. The middle mounting bracket (circled) was broken so I used JB Weld Plastics Putty to reattach after a failed attempt with JB Weld Plastic Epoxy. Yes, it's painted black because it would bug the heck out of me even if I never see it again. The unsecured end fits...

    2013 Navigator Engine Splash Shields

    There are 3 rubber "air deflectors" on my 2013. The bottom one is referenced in the initial post and a pic of the one installed on my vehicle will follow below. There are 2 additional rubber deflectors that clip to either side of the radiator bracket and to the top of the header panel assembly...

    2014 strut replacement

    Reusing the factory springs may have made all the difference in your experience with those Monroe shocks. I cannot recommend their Quick-Strut assemblies.

    Did you reuse the original springs?

    2014 strut replacement

    Avoid Monroe Quick-Strut replacements in my opinion. I used them on a Jeep Commander and the front deteriorated within 6 months (I'm being kind with that estimate). They were replaced under warranty and the experience wasn't any better. I proactively replaced front and rear on the Expy using...

    What do you pay for an oil change?

    Is that cost for full synthetic and a Motorcraft filter?

    Climate Controlled Seats Inquiry

    That's exactly what I'm noticing. The seat cushion and backrest heat up noticeably (tested this morning) but the cooling function only seems to affect the bottom. What year, and can you actually feel the backrest cooling? I hear those fans blowing but the backrest isn't benefiting much...

    What do you pay for an oil change?

    Wallyworld periodically, and currently, has the 5-quart synthetic on sale for about $23. I've also found the 820S filter there for about $4 more often than not. For those interested, there is also an active $20-$24 Mobil 1 rebate offer for up to 10 quarts from participating retailers. Final...

    Climate Controlled Seats Inquiry

    I was reluctant to post this question but I'll defer to the experts. Does climate controlled seats pertain solely to the seat cushion or does it include the seat back? The 2013 manual simply states that more lights indicate a higher setting. It was too darn hot to test the heated seats today...

    Front differential fluid change + fill plug upgrade

    I haven't worked on one of these sealed transmissions before but it looks like the procedure isn't much different. The service manual states that the transmission temp should be about 100°C when checking fluid level. I'll have to check if my OBDII can read that. The process shouldn't be too...

    Front differential fluid change + fill plug upgrade

    I'm glad you asked. I called to inquire about the cost of transmission fluid replacement and was asked for my current mileage. I was promptly informed that the dealership would not perform that service until the recommended 150K miles based on the maintenance schedule. I then asked to speak...

    Front differential fluid change + fill plug upgrade

    The 150K miles maintenance schedule calls for transmission fluid and filter, front axle fluid (4WD), rear axle fluid, transfer case fluid, and drive belt(s). I'm not there yet but have seen too many instances where the first fluid flush at a high mileage intervals coincidentally leads to...

    Front differential fluid change + fill plug upgrade

    Perhaps that is why there is no drain plug, and it makes sense. I don't know how the previous owner used the vehicle so for that reason I thought it couldn't hurt to change it. The rear fluid was in surprisingly good condition for 100K+ miles and I'm pretty certain it was never changed. Only...

    Front differential fluid change + fill plug upgrade

    Great post! I decided to proactively drain and fill transfer case along with front and rear differentials and got stuck here. My wheels were grounded and I had no success with a narrow tube. Is there a method to spinning the wheels to provide the clearance needed to get the tube deep enough...

    Any other shocks available besides Ford OEM and Bilstein?

    How does the ride compare to OEM? My application is for '13.

    Any other shocks available besides Ford OEM and Bilstein?

    I purchased a set of Monroe Quick-Struts for a Jeep Commander and had to warranty them within a year. That set degraded just as quick as the first. The ride is great for first couple of weeks but comfort and ride control drop off very quickly. I'm in NY, but even that doesn't justify the...

    Strut Replacement Recommendations

    I've used the Monroe Quick-Struts on a different vehicle and cannot recommend them. They ride well for 2 to 3 months on average roads and deteriorate quickly thereafter. If you hit any "significant" potholes or dips you're done! Monroe honors their warranty and exchanging them wasn't an...
