    No Idea, this is how I bought it.

    Transmission Filter?

    If you installed the long-tube you’ll be fine. This DOES explain why some people have filter clearance issues when switching to the Dorman 6r80 trans pan with the drain bolt.

    Steering u-joint

    Not sure about the Fords (I’m new to them) but on GM cars with the issue the choice was either disassemble the steering column to replace the entire shaft or to re-pack the joint with new grease and pray it works. Re-packing is a bandaid, but usually works. To put in a new one is typically a...

    Transmission Filter?

    Awesome, thanks for the info. I've always used full synthetic Maxlife ATF in all my vehicles, and it is approved/compatable with the SP.

    Transmission Filter?

    2008 EL, I'm assuming its still the 6r75 and not the 6r80... I have seen three different part numbers for the trans filter listed. Does anyone know the difference between the FT171 versus the FT188 filters? Are they interchangeable/successor pn, or are they different filters altogether?

    2008 - electrical issues

    Wipers work… washers don’t. When pushing the stalk for the washer, a click can be heard by the fuse box in the passenger footwell. Horn doesn’t work. When pushing the horn, a click can be heard by the fuse box in the passenger footwell. Heated seats flash for a second, don’t turn on. Cooling...

    6r75 pan the same as 6r80?

    $28 for a dorman pan vs $250 for the deep… I’ll do the $30 pan.

    Horn not working

    When I press the horn I hear a clicking from the area of the fuse box in the passenger footwell, but the horn doesn’t work. Any idea?

    6r75 pan the same as 6r80?

    Wanting to switch to a transmission pan with built-in drain. Dorman makes a pan for the 6r80, but nothing listed for the 6r75. I think I read they are the same case and can share the same pan/gasket (only difference being internals), can anyone confirm?

    Well, that explains a lot…. Get a carfax

    Fantastic advice here. The vehicle was purchased in Colorado and driven back to Indy, so my lawsuit will have to be filed in CO. The deprecated value difference is likely greater than small claims limits, so I will have to engage a legitimate attorney to file a civil suit. The title showed...

    No washers, but wipers work

    When I press the washer stalk, I hear an audible click and the wipers do their thing, but nothing comes out of the jets front or rear. Is the fuse for the pump separate from the fuse for the wipers? Common issue? (Yes, it has fluid)

    Has Anyone With 20” Wheels Moved To LT Tires?

    Bingo. Former California car so it’s solid, great base for a restomod.

    Well, that explains a lot…. Get a carfax

    Just bought a 2008 EL King Ranch with only 100,000 miles! Or did I… Based on that timeline, this thing likely has 300-400k miles. It’s REMARKABLY solid given the mileage. Let this be a lesson to always get a carfax. ‍♂️

    Has Anyone With 20” Wheels Moved To LT Tires?

    What’s this sensor?

    Aha! Looks like that’s the ambient air temp sensor.

    What’s this sensor?

    Yep. New radiator. I’m also throwing a code for fan circuit, so I’m guessing this is related.

    New member introduction

    New to the forum and new to Fords. Recently acquired a 2008 EL King Ranch. Only 105k showing on the ODO, 3”lift, but it’s clearly led a hard life up till now and has multiple questionable repairs. Hoping to get everything ironed out to bring it back to great condition.

    What’s this sensor?

    I recently picked up a 2008 Expedition EL that has some…quirks. It definitely had a prior front end accident, and was rebuilt at home by someone lacking proper skills. Over the weekend I found this sensor hanging loose, between the radiator and grill, front passenger side. What is it, and...
