    Driver door closes erratically.

    2007 SSV. Sometimes it latches and sometimes it doesn't. Well, it latches, but not completely. So I have to open the door and slam it to get it to latch tightly. The door hasn't sagged. The latch appears to be where it's supposed to be. I replaced the latch about a year ago and everything...

    2001 Expy 5.4 vs 1999 F250 V-10

    OMG! I bought a 99 Super Duty and can't afford to drive it! I have a 2001 Expy with 265K on it that has run like a top since I got it with 135K on it. (12-15 MPG depending on how heavy my foot is. :) Never had a trouble light! Drove the SD 173 miles and used 29.2 gallons of gas, for an...

    Should I change my transmission fluid?

    Why not? The old filter will tell you if you have an unaware problem coming and you'll only be changing about a third of the fluid. It's easy to do yourself. Happy wrenching.... sort of! LOL!

    Catalytic or cat lock DIY?

    Weeeell..... I can think of a round about way, maybe. Get yourself a small 12 volt relay. One side of the coil goes to the battery and the other side goes to ground using high temp wire (oven wire?) and a lug grounded to the cat. And you'd want to make that grounded connection clearly visible...

    Strange sound when hitting the gas

    RE: Your audio. Can you copy your audio to Messenger.... then use your PC to grab it? Don't know about audio, but JPG's go really fast if you've got both within reach. :D

    '01 & '07 Expys Aftermarket radio replacements with B/T & video screens?

    Well I don't know what to get. What do you guys have? It would be really nice to be able to link my phone to it with Bluetooth for apps like Phone, Mapquest, or WAZE that I could actually talk and see with both hands on the wheel! :D Surely there's something out there for each one???? Yes...

    Could find nothing in SEARCH so I will depend on you DIY Pros! :) Well, since the airbags aren't sitting in my face, I'm going to suspect an electrical malfunction. Any ideas? TIA :)

    What sort of glue/cement to use....

    I have a 1976 F250 with an original vinyl bench seat. There were two splits in the driver butt area. I used GOOP on them and after two years the seats are just fine and you can barely see the GOOP at all. If it wasn't dark and only +17° I'd go out and take a picture for you! :) It really IS...

    Help! 1999 4R100 filter question

    I used a screwdriver, a pick, and a hook, and that dang th'ang just wouldn't come out. On top of that, the new one on the new filter didn't want to come off either. I finally took a pair of channel locks and twisted it off. Then I took some alcohol and wiped the inside of the old one, a fine...

    Help! 1999 4R100 filter question

    So the pan came right off and so did the now steel gasket! Fluid was coal black. Pulled the filter and it came right out - without it's little ring, ribbed gasket which is still in there. New filter also has a ring, ribbed gasket. The old one won't come out so the new one can't go in! And...

    To FX4 or not....

    OK, but don't laugh! LOL! Have you tried to get a price from COSTCO? Yep! COSTCO! And if you don't already have a membership $60 could save a ton of money! Their latest figures (2018) show they sold 650,000 new cars to their members. Just sayin'..... Good Luck!

    Crazy to buy a 2003 Exp with 135k miles?

    I bought my 2001 Expy with the 5.4 in 2005 from the federal government. It had 135,000 on it and I paid $5000. It had a slight tick-tick in it! Today is has 262,000 on it and I have never done a thing to it besides change the oil and filters. It still has a slight tick-tick in it! LOL! I...

    My '07 and a backhoe!

    Well... I almost missed my '07 Expy with my backhoe, but not quite! :( I dented the little black corner panel just to the left of the rear window. Does anybody know the correct name for that piece? Has anyone ever changed one? Do I have to tear a little apart, or a lot apart? LOL! TIA!

    Only odometer area lights dim when headlights turned on

    Blows my mind! The dimmer switch seems to control all dash lights, but when I turn the headlights on the dash the lights only within the odometer area dim to where I can hardly see them! Any clues here? I thank you very much! Sorry! 2007XLT but SSV

    Question on True Synthetic oil (5.4L)

    For those of you with COSTCO cards, Mobile 1 goes on sale about once every three months. A case of six quarts costs $28.00. That's under $4.75 a quart plus sales tax for those of you who have to pay that. Seems like mighty cheap insurance to me. I have a 2001 5.4 SSV that I bought at...

    Aftermarket Wheels

    Don't forget! If you buy aftermarket wheels you should also get tire pressure sensors for them. Otherwise your dashboard is going to continually show you a tire sensor error that's going to drive you nuts! LOL! Also, since I am one of those dummies who forgot about that and have aftermarket...

    Amazon Echo Auto

    I love my Amazon Echo Auto! It is awesome! "Alexa! Play some Willie Nelson!" and there he is! LOL! And the speakerphone is awesome as well! BUT! I unplug it when I leave the vehicle. Otherwise my phone no workie! It rings back to the Echo Auto and I can't answer the call. :)

    Mileage upgrade for 17 XLT

    Don't laugh, but I saw a gizmo on Facebook that said it would increase mileage after plugging it in to your OBD2 port. It only cost $19.95. Went to Ebay and found the same device for $5 if I bought from China. LOL! It's called ECO OBD2. And quoting John Popeil, the huckster from about three...

    2007 Driver's door panel removal. What's the secret?

    Besides the clip you have a screw behind the door handle. Two more inside the armrest that are covered with a pop up plastic plate. Then there is one on the end of the door. It's a T-15 if I remember correctly. More screws on the bottom. Once they're all off just lift the panel straight up...

    FINALLY! Something to contribute! SSV bolt holes for Console

    To those of you who have read my whines about bucket seats in newer Expeditions. I have finally found a work around! Last week I found a center console out of an F150 for $100 plus shipping, so I bought it. The seller said it bolts directly to the floor, which maybe it does in the F150, but...
