    Band mounted TPMS - watch out

    Well I have an 08 ford expedition, which for the last 2 years has had a problem with the TPMS sensors (they were changed 3 years ago, but the message center kept giving a TPMS error message) and juddering from the front end (most noticeably when braking). My wheels are stock 20" alloy wheels...

    Trailer Brake Problem, I'm out of ideas

    Mike, I assume you know this, but in case, there are 4 wires that go to the Brake controller, one wire is +12 volts (usually coming from fuse #18), one wire is ground, one wire is from the brake switch (activated by the brake pedal), and the 4th wire is the output wire from the controller that...

    2020 F150 TPMS compatibility with 08 expedition

    well Amazon sent replacement sensors, so I removed the old sensors and tried pairing them to my car, as long as the sensors are not fitted into the wheel, the sensors behaved as they should and paired with my car when I put the car in learning mode and brought the ford trigger tool nearby.. As I...

    Trailer Brake Problem, I'm out of ideas

    Sounds like the electronic brake control has failed. Are you running an aftermarket controller or a ford controller? I would disconnect the 4 pin plug that goes to the brake controller and then check if you still have 12 volts present at the trailer brake pin. If you do then you have a wiring...

    2020 F150 TPMS compatibility with 08 expedition

    Okay, if anyone wants to know, 2020 F150 TPMS units are NOT compatible with a 2008 ford Expedition!! I purchased four aftermarket valve stem mounting TPMS from Amazon and fitted them to my new wheels, it claims that the new TPMS work on 315MHz, but after fitting them, inflating the tyres and...

    Juddering Brakes

    I went and pulled the 2 ABS fuses (ABS pump & ABS valves) and almost all the uddering has disappeared, there is a little juddering so I migh still have an issue with a rotor or caliper, but I think my garage was atleast 80% correct when they said it was the ABS. Unfortunately I will now be...

    2008 High Beams on

    first thought is a sticky relay, I would try to locate the high low beam relay and remove it and check that it is working correctly. If the relay is working correctly, it would indicate a wiring issue or a defective high/low switch on the steering column, but start with the relay first.

    Juddering Brakes

    One other question, I will look in the owners manual, but can anyone tell me if the 2008 ford expeditions had a separate fuse for the ABS unit? I would like to remove the fuse to temporarily disable the ABS unit and then see if the juddering disappears, if it does then in my mind I have proven...

    Key Fob

    My expedition is an old 08, so the key does not have a fob (just an embedded security chip for the ignition) the fob is a seperate remote control unit which I purchased from eBay for less than $20, I don't know about the fob for your year of expedition, it was really easy to program my car to...

    Key Fob

    My local ace hardware store was able to cut a new key and program the key (It was an exact copy physically and electrically to the key I brought into the store, so the car didn't have to be programmed as it already knew the code that was programmed into the key!! was about $60 for everything.

    Juddering Brakes

    the first thing the garage said was warped rotors or calipers, they checked both and said all was good and then dropped the bomb that it is the ABS unit!! A caliper would have been a lot cheaper and easier to fix!!

    Juddering Brakes

    Guys, I wanted to ask for your opinion, about a year ago my 08 expedition started juddering every time I applied the brakes (it has done more than 200K miles and was on original rotors). I decided to check the pads and rotors and everything was within spec, but the rotors where close to the...

    New Expedition owner, some Q's

    No one seems to have answered your question about the F150 wheels, the simple answer is yes almost any F150 wheel will fit your car, however the expedition rear wheel axle does protrude a bit further out of the hub assembly than the F150, so sometimes the center hub of your F150 wheel will not...

    Mileage and switch to 5W30

    juddering when braking

    I just fitted the pads, am not aware of any bedding procedure? Also did not touch the proportioning valve, but the pads were new along with the disks. Why would we touch the proportioning valve? what is the correct bedding procedure? I usually push the brake pistons back into the calipers...

    juddering when braking

    Thanks everyone, to answer some of the question, no they where not cheap Chinese brake rotors and I have put a dial gauge on all 4 rotors and there was no noticable warp, I forget the measurment but they were all good. I don understand how a brake hose can cause judder, the lines look okay...

    Valve mount TPMS units

    I have a 2008 expedition with the TPMs system that is a small box mounted on a band in the middle of the wheel. I just purchased a set of 2021 F150 wheels to replace my wheels (they are plastic rims that are chrome plated and the chrome has all come off and looks terrible). The new rims don’t...

    juddering when braking

    I removed the pads (obviously to change them out), I checked the pistons retracted into the calipres and moved freely, I did fit new metal clips and cleaned the calipers with brake cleaner, everything looked good and even the rubber parts looked fine. I then flushed the brake fluid as it hadn't...

    juddering when braking

    I have a 2008 Ford expedition limited (extended/max), it has 225,000 miles and runs great, doesn't use any oil or make any strange noises, however whenever I apply the brakes, the car judders badly, I thought I must have a warped disk, so I replaced the 2 frond disks (i guessed after 225,000...

    Who else runs F150 wheels on their 3rd Gen?

    He says he wants to go to 18” from 20, so he is correct, it will give him more sidewall.
