    Transfer Case Skid Plate Replacement Search (2nd gen)

    The skid plates were standard with the FX4 package, and I believe an option on all others. That said it must not have been a popular option, I have not actually seen the skid plates under any Gen2 Expedition I have ever been under. You might try car-parts.com. It's an auto salvage database...

    2004 Ford expedition Eddie Bauer

    That's a lean code for an O2 sensor. Could be the sensor, could also be a vacuum leak. I would think the vacuum leak is more likely. At the age of these vehicles the vacuum hoses are deteriorating. If it is a vacuum leak and it's that significant you should be able to hear a whistling under...

    TASCA PARTS Return Help

    I used Tasca for a long time as well with good luck. Such a shame they have gone downhill. Last year I decided I would use them only as a desperate last resort due to multiple orders they could not fulfill. One they showed 24 items in stock, after about a month they reported they couldn't...

    Brake replacement options

    Squeaking is usually from the pads moving around and squeaking on the caliper piston or the pad mounting ears. If the new pads have backing plates on them that seems to help. Replacing the stainless steel pad clips and applying a tiny bit of caliper grease to them should resolve it, just don't...

    Rear heater core hoses HOT with AC on? Need diagram maybe?

    Well that sucks, though thankfully it shouldn't be too costly or difficult to resolve. The white part is just a connector/lock. Just beyond that there are 2 o-rings in the black plastic tube and they have likely hardened over the years. As you noted moving it around while installing the...

    2004 Ford expedition Eddie Bauer

    There's an awful lot of potential reasons. The first step is look for Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Most retail auto parts stores will read the engine related codes for free. Along with the codes provide the engine in your Expedition.

    Rear heater core hoses HOT with AC on? Need diagram maybe?

    Nice. How could that not help! Stop the flow of coolant and the heater core will be cooler.

    Looking for more power/speed

    The Gen 2 Expeditions came with 31.5" tires. Go back to the smaller 29" tires, that will improve your passing acceleration more than most available mods. If you have a 5.4L there's lots of threads on here about this. Most threads for mild power gains will mention new intake, exhaust, proper...

    Timing set and a startup anomaly question

    I've had a few requests for an update about the timing set replacement. Good and bad news. The good news is the cold startup chatter is intermittent and not frequent currently. The bad news is I had 2 cold morning starts where something was knocking quite loudly for a 3-5 seconds. My...

    Engine Mounts

    Check out the engine mount pics on RockAuto. I would think that would help you identify the mounting hardware. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,2004,expedition,5.4l+v8,1427756,engine,motor+mount,5552

    2003 steering issue. Dead spots?

    That idea of spraying the steering shaft with penetrating oil is for the u-joints. There's 3 u-joints total with 1 in the upper shaft and 2 in the lower. It's the lower shaft, pictured below, that's usually the issue. I have replaced both my upper and lower shafts due to binding u-joints. I...

    04 expy dropped steering column screws

    I tend to put screws in the console or cup holder and they can be hard to see in there. I used to put them in the seat like an idiot.

    O/D Light Flashing, no codes.

    Well that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

    Weird noise when accelerating

    The code indicates the bank 1 catalytic converter is getting plugged up or worn out. That signal comes from the downstream O2 sensor so a failing sensor can trigger the P0420 code, but would not cause a noise. You'd have to decide what the noise sounds like to determine if it could be a cat...

    O/D Light Flashing, no codes.

    @mbtech2003 I'm intrigued and maybe others are as well. Why go through the effort to replace many of the hard parts inside the transmission and not replace the seals? Were they simply in good shape and didn't warrant replacement. My old C6 didn't really need a rebuild it needed new seals...

    4r70W p0720,p0722 issues

    Did you happen to check for continuity on each of the wires in the harness? Also make sure there aren't any broken or bent pins in the connectors. You may need to get a high end OBDII scanner or FORScan. This will help with verifying there is output and then reading the output from the...

    Been a while has anyone else had this issue?

    Good news, thanks for the follow-up. Did you replace the fuel filter as well? I replace my fuel filter every 30k miles or so and rarely get any dirty fuel that drains out of it. When the pump failed it was amazing how much nasty gray crap came out. Maybe coincidence, but I suspect it was...

    05 expedition intermittent hum/grind from drivers front wheel, creaking when turning at low speeds and some fluid on front diff

    It could be the 4wd hub or the wheel bearing hub making the grinding noise. If it's the 4wd hub it could be be the vacuum hoses, the vacuum solenoid or the vacuum operated integrated wheel ends(IWE), aka 4wd hub, making the grinding. Have you jacked it up and tried to turn the tire to see if...

    Vacuum Reservoir Tank

    No you can't cap it off. The reservoir is needed for the HVAC to operate properly. Here's a link to a replacement. https://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts/ford-reservoir-vacuum_f65z-19a566-aa.html

    06 2WD clunk noted at slower speeds. My wife was driving me to work the other day and my window was down. At quite slow speeds, a clunking is heard.

    There's lots of good suggestions in this thread and all are possible. You're gonna have to narrow it down more. Like do you hear the noise when you change the throttle/speed, when you hit a bump, is it a rhythmic noise like every tire rotation or occasional, is it engine speed or tire speed...

    Sunroof Drains

    Well that's good news on the front drains. If you didn't you might just try to go fishing with the trimmer line and see if you can find the drain. Usually they are found in the corner so you might have a shot at it. Otherwise hopefully someone will chime in with some specific drain location...

    2003 Eddie Bauer 5.4

    It could be a charging issue or parasitic draw. I've been down the parasitic draw road a few times I'm sorry to say. You can test for parasitic draw and/or voltage drop to locate it. Here's some links to a bit of reading: http://testmeterpro.com/parasitic-draw-test-with-a-multimeter/...

    Check charging system warning and battery light

    Outstanding and well done. Thanks for following up too.
