    Another 06 Expedition for me.

    Nice I love an easy fix like the cruise control. Nice to see one more saved from the bone yard. Well done sir.

    Is my issue fuel pump or wiring?

    Mine did not blow the fuse, but when the fuel pump relay failed it acted almost identical to your symptoms. Let it cool down and it would run for a bit. There was nothing visible on the relay. You can only see the top when it's in the central junction box(CJB). Mine also smelled burnt. I...

    Another 06 Expedition for me.

    That's awesome. Wow you rebuilt the engine, transmission, replaced the sunroof and a pile of other things in a month. Did anyone tell you that you are actually retired, haha. Sounds like you are dang near working full time at home now. There is no question though that with experience things...

    Ac compressor

    Get new o-rings, they are cheap, and replace everyone you can while you're at it. Certainly replace every one you remove.

    Idler pulleys, just some bearing observations

    Thankfully my neighbor has a 20 ton press. I just have to come up with the required bits to use it. Most of the time my various impact sockets work well. Even better I have the pulleys I recently removed.

    Idler pulleys, just some bearing observations

    Wow those pulley's really look nice. Having a snap ring is sweet, should make swapping the bearing fairly easy. Good bearings can make a major difference. I did briefly considered changing the bearings as the bearings in each pulley have too much play. With the original grease removed it was...

    2004 fuel pump failed and replaced(long story with tech info)

    Hmm, well that's interesting. I have never used Marvel Mystery Oil. I'm intrigued so it's worth a shot just to see if it helps quite frankly. Thank you Hamfisted, you're guidance is always appreciated. I do use Amsoil's fuel system cleaner twice a year in it. Unfortunately the tank is...

    Another Timing Job Question -2003 5.4L 2V

    A couple other things that might help with the timing job. Start soaking the EGR stove pipe connections with penetrating oil when practical. Take pics of the vacuum and coolant hose and wire harness routing before you start. You do not need to remove the water pump, but if you haven't done...

    2004 fuel pump failed and replaced(long story with tech info)

    Time for another follow-up on this thread since I am gearing up to replace my fuel pump again, repair the front fuel tank vent again as it has split a bit more and repair some rust above the tank that I found 2 years ago. The Bosch pump still works fine, but the included fuel level sender is...

    Cowl Top Grille

    Yeah it could be a challenge to remove a used cowl. It's not easy to find a lot of parts for the Gen2's. I suspect that is because it tended to be a family vehicle that were often poorly maintained and thrown away when something significant failed. That's what I have seen in the salvage yards...

    Cowl Top Grille

    Aftermarket support for the Gen2 Expeditions, 2003-06, is very limited. I suspect your only option will be salvage yards. However, you just might be able to dig through incorrectly identified listings on eBay and find an NOS cowl. I have been successful doing this a few times, but it can...

    CODE P0452 READS IN MY SCANNER

    Changing the pump doesn't sound like an unreasonable path forward based on what you are seeing. Good luck, it's not an easy task mostly because the tank is large and reaching the connections on top can be a bit of a challenge. Removing the spare tire will help make access to the fuel filler...

    CODE P0452 READS IN MY SCANNER

    Well the PCM thinks the fuel pump is not running. Are you certain you can hear the pump running when you turn the key to ON? No pressure at the fuel rail Schrader valve and the scanner showing the pump is off seems to indicate the pump is not running. I know when my fuel pump relay, R303...

    Can I fit 285/75/17 on Second Gen with a 2.5 level and 0 offset wheels

    The tires would fit with a 2.5" lift. The 0 offset on the wheels I have no idea. Heck I don't even know what the stock wheel offset is.

    CODE P0452 READS IN MY SCANNER

    If you need to take the tank out here's what I did to get mine out. Thus far it doesn't sound like tank removal is warranted though. I had ~24 gallons of fuel in my tank and with the fuel pump failed I could not drain the tank. So I used my floor jack with my cross beam replacing the...

    Odd noise

    Unless your friend knows something I have never seen the front upper ball joints are not replaceable. You have to replace the entire control arm. The lower ball joints are certainly replaceable and it's not that hard nor terribly costly. I used the MOOG K500060 lower ball joint with good...

    Odd noise

    If your ball joint is worn enough that the tire and wheel are moving around it's certainly shot. Sounds like the control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, IWE's(4wd hubs), wheel bearing hubs and CV axles need to be closely inspected.

    Another 06 Expedition for me.

    Thanks for the engine hoist adapter pics. I wondered what the best way to lift these engines is. Gone are the days of using the intake manifold.

    2006 Expy body job - looking for some photos

    There's several threads here regarding the replacement of the rocker panels. I believe all the pics I have are in the threads I started on replacing my rocker panels. https://www.expeditionforum.com/search/1596176/?q=rocker+panel&t=post&c[child_nodes]=1&c[nodes][0]=168&o=relevance Several of...

    Another 06 Expedition for me.

    Goodness you got a lot of things done. Sounds like that thing needs a lot of little issues resolved. Those dang sunroof drains, air, water and sometimes lawn trimmer line is what I use to keep them cleaned out. They caused my driver side A and C pillar bottoms to rust out since the drains...

    Circuit breaker 401 remaining warm while looking for parasitic drain.

    @Vincent Vega Well it seems reasonable that the draw is related since Ixlr8nAk identified CB401 as getting power. I just figured the diagram might help. I'm certainly not sure what the cause of the parasitic draw was or is.

    Leak repair on 4R75w transmission

    Thank you for the information. Congrats on the retirement, obviously you are still working just not paid now being your own vehicles :) . I had no idea the new gas 7.3 Godzilla called for 5w-30, interesting. 0w-16 just blows me away. I guess next we'll just run distilled water for engine...

    Leak repair on 4R75w transmission

    What are your thoughts on oil viscosity for these engines? I know Ford calls for 5w-20, though the 2V prior to 2003 called for 5w-30 and I believe it's the same engine from 97-04. Many here suggest switching to 5w-30 as the reason Ford changed to 5w-20 was fuel economy? I know this is a...

    Leak repair on 4R75w transmission

    Dang, any thoughts on what caused the chain guide to break on the 3V? My 2V had almost 300k when I replaced the timing components and just a little wear, but certainly not broken.

    2004 DATC driver side blend door actuator failure write up

    I finally got the DATC into diag mode. I had to hold the Off and Floor buttons down for 10+ seconds and then immediately press the Auto button. By immediately I mean I could not use the same hand. The moment I started releasing the Off and Floor buttons I pressed the Auto button with my other...
