    08 PATS and Transmission problems

    IDK if this is something that applies here but I heard a story from a guy when picking up parts from the rig he was parting out. I don't remember the backstory (it had to do with lost keys and something with the anti-theft system) but he said he went to the junk yard and pulled 2 computer...

    Update studs to 2015+ or other options for wheel spacers?

    So let me start off by congratulating myself for picking up 2 pairs of absolutely brand new spidertrax 1.75" wheel spacers for $80! :party36: Now that we got past all that fanfare, let's get to the problem. The spacers are for 2015+ expy/F-150 and I've got a 2011 expy. From my research, the hub...

    Control Arms for Lifted 2015 XLT

    check your sway bar links. After some rough terrain following replacing a bunch of front end stuff mine rattled loose. I would only hear it when hitting juicy bumps. I couldn't find the source of the noise, took it to a shop and they blamed the IWE, which was actually bad so not a total waste...

    2016 King Ranch EL Lift and Wheels

    Huh yeah that’s the bolt I was talking about. In the package I got it only had 2 speed clips and 4 bolts for that mount. My research tells me that’s the norm unless you request the extra pair of clips for mounting on an expedition. In the pics you posted it didn’t look like the speed clip was...

    2016 King Ranch EL Lift and Wheels

    Did you get both of the upper bolts into the mount that the plate seats to? It looks like you were missing the forward speed clip. if everything lined up right including that bolt, I'm super curious why my expy has this issue since the consensus is that mine is an outlier. At first I'd wager a...

    2016 King Ranch EL Lift and Wheels

    yeah there were 3 holes on the backside of the trans skid plate but only 2 holes in the expy frame. It sounds like they might just be a little misguided with the differences with the expy and F-150. If you measure it up and drill another hole in the spacer they provided you'll probably be in...

    2016 King Ranch EL Lift and Wheels

    Wow, I'm shocked that RCI didn't provide a spacer of any kind. I know if you call them and tell them the vehicle you're buying the engine skid plates for is an expedition, they'll include an extra pair of the larger speed clips that are necessary to mount the front engine skid plate (if you...

    Any Crazy Things To Look Out For On The 5.4L 3v Timing Job?

    I watched the video on that and the clearance looked pretty tight so I wound up getting the 8mm flex head wrench to avoid any of that. Glad I bought it hearing the pain the it is to do it without it. I was planning on dropping the oil pan for this job but it seems I should leave it on the whole...

    Any Crazy Things To Look Out For On The 5.4L 3v Timing Job?

    thanks for word of caution on the oil pump bolts as well as what to do to re-seat the valve stems. BTW, I plan on dropping the oil pan while I'm already in there in case stuff falls in it whether or not I'm aware that it fell into the soup. As for the crank pulley puller, I have a few different...

    Any Crazy Things To Look Out For On The 5.4L 3v Timing Job?

    I've decided to undertake the rite of passage associated with owning a vehicle with the 5.4L 3v Triton and take a crack at the timing job. I'm a few weeks out from having the time and parts to do it and I intend to start on October 4th when I get off of work. Since I'm just a random moron with...

    2016 King Ranch EL Lift and Wheels

    I have the RCI skid package on mine (2011 Limited EL) and would like to tell you about my experience with it. I wound up needing to make spacers out of some scrap metal I picked up. The front plates contacted the front diff and then the transmission plate seemed fine at first but once the...

    Upper Control Arm Hitting Brake Line and IWE Vacuum Line After Leveling Kit

    Hi All, I've done some research on this but haven't seen any previous posts documenting the issue I'm having. Short Version: I put on a 2.5" RC leveling kit and when the suspension is at full extension, the upper control arms hit the metal brake lines (in the attached pic, when the upper...

    Odd vibration/rattle from engine (?) on incline in higher gear

    yeah, keeping it in 4A will do exactly that. 4A drops the vacuum, so you that sound shouldn't happen anymore if there is an issue with the IWE system.

    Cup Holder Insert

    Are you trying to find one to fit a cups that the factory one doesn’t or just trying find a factory replacement? If it’s the latter, this is the type of part I’ll look on marketplace for someone parting out their rig. You know for damn sure it’ll fit and don’t really care about the history of...

    Odd vibration/rattle from engine (?) on incline in higher gear

    The description you just gave is almost 100% dead on to what I was experiencing. If I had to guess for my situation, the hose doesn't warm up as like the engine does so with it being a little colder and more rigid the leak isn't too bad. But, after sitting in the engine bay for an hour or so...

    Winch mount

    Old thread but have there been any developments on that winch mount fitment? As for the brush guard I can answer it for you if you haven’t found the answer already. An F-150 brush guard will fit but only if youre ok with cutting you bumper a little. There are 2 mounting points on the bottom...

    Odd vibration/rattle from engine (?) on incline in higher gear

    yep, when you lose the vacuum it engages the front drive components. But since you’re not totally losing the vacuum the teeth on the outer end of the CV axle are just chewing up your IWE. The cause could be any part in the chain that sees the vacuum so it’s a matter of finding it. For me, the...

    Odd vibration/rattle from engine (?) on incline in higher gear

    Sounds like the IWE system (if you have 4x4) to me. My noises would usually kick off on an incline at highway speeds. It had a slight rumble on the gas pedal and sounded like someone was driving next to me in a pickup with a loose tarp over the bed. As soon as you let up off the gas it went away...

    More in depth high mileage maintenance

    Hi all, I’ve searched around to find more thorough information on high mileage maintenance beyond switching to 5w-30 and increased oil change frequency but I can’t seem to find much in one place so maybe this thread will help others out in the future as well. I’m currently rolling with ~160k...

    Source for black plastic fasteners with screw in middle on top of radiator that holds that plastic piece

    I know which ones you're talking about and its fair chance this is it. If not, measure what you broke and they'll probably have it. https://autofastenersandclips.com/products/auveco-14994-push-type-retainer-1-head-diameter-29-32-length just checked it with the OEM part number cross reference...

    2014. OEM tranny cooler as big as radiator...?

    I believe that one is for your A/C. The one for your tranny is like ~4-5 inches tall if memory serves correctly.

    2017 Expy front wheels off the ground not easy to turn?

    Do you have 4x4? idk about how 4x4 works on later years but the IWE on my 2011 engages when vacuum is released which also happens when the engine isn’t running. So if that was my rig in the air I’d be fighting the front drive components to turn the wheels as well. So possibly this could be...

    Front shaft turning in 2wd

    This thread is a little old for what is likely a quick repair but doesn't have an update on the fix so I'll throw my two cents in. You try ruling out the vacuum hose? my IWE worked fine when I put the pump directly on the ports and the check valve was good too but it would try to engage...

    2017 Off-Road build - Phase 1 - The Basics

    Well with the skid plates, I'm not as worried about the breakover angle anymore, I can always back up once I hear contact to not scrape up things beyond them. plus I just left the stock side steps on and will replace them when they get crushed up but I don't get too crazy off roading. figured...
