    2026 Tremor is worth it

    Thanks for the details in the original post @Expensedition, some I was unaware of. I've been pondering replacing our 2004 Expedition EB. I am looking forward to your corrosion protection process thread.

    2004 DATC driver side blend door actuator failure write up

    After running through the pin point tests and finding nothing out of spec, I verified the blend door was not hard to turn and didn't seem to have a blockage. I then messed with the temp setting to move the actuator back and forth while it was sitting on the transmission tunnel. The recently...

    2004 DATC driver side blend door actuator failure write up

    Maybe the next best step is the not so fun pinpoint test. I have about 1/2 the day Friday to get this working again before we get 2-3' of snow this weekend and it will be operational heat or not.

    2003 5.4 V8 PCM Programming using Forscan.

    FORScan will allow some modules to be programmed. At one point I had some of the AsBuilt files. I have had better luck on my 2004 Expedition and with my Harbor Freight sourced Zurich Pro scanner though.

    Another 06 Expedition for me.

    100% agree. Maintenance and being gentle on them until at operating temp is so critical.

    2004 DATC driver side blend door actuator failure write up

    Disconnecting the battery did nothing to help as expected. Covering the floor duct did nothing to help with the cool blowing air, that surprised me a bit. I have found nothing else to try so Friday I'll swap the driver side actuator again. If that fails well I dunno. I am growing tired of...

    2004 DATC driver side blend door actuator failure write up

    It worked for a week and it's failed again. Code 2266 is back. It worked all week, I disconnected the battery while I replaced the right front brake line and reseated the passenger side valve cover(waste of time as I expected). After about 36hrs I connected the battery and fired up the engine...

    Another 06 Expedition for me.

    You have quite a list to take care of there.

    Another 06 Expedition for me.

    My preference is the 2V. I just don't care for variable valve timing. Clearly you have plenty of 3V and 4V spare parts though.

    Another 06 Expedition for me.

    Sounds like a nice plan. You must have a quite a setup.

    Circuit breaker 401 remaining warm while looking for parasitic drain.

    I keep reading and thinking about this. So far I can't get a good feel for what's wrong. What a terrific idea to use IR to identify what has power. I never would have considered that, but if there is power there is gonna be some heat. I'm not sure this diagram will help, probably what you...

    2004 instrument cluster swap to 2005

    Wow, yet another difference in the Gen2's.

    2004 DATC driver side blend door actuator failure write up

    A pic of that difficult to access screw and a truly terrible drawing of where screws/bolts go. I often do this for reassembly reference.

    2004 DATC driver side blend door actuator failure write up

    Here's some diagnostic info that might help. However, I could not get the diag mode to initiate on mine. I did get the DTC from my OBDII scanner though. Code B2266 left side blend door circuit error. More pics. The Passenger side dash bracket pic shows the actuator just forward of the...

    2004 DATC driver side blend door actuator failure write up

    The driver side blend door actuator, the lower one, failed on my 2004 recently. The typical knocking noise was the telltale and impacting the driver side it was obvious which one. There’s excellent write-ups and videos on the passenger side already, which by the way is much easier to get to and...

    2004 Dual Climate Control Click and Thump Under Dash

    I got that screw out, needed a long thin 1/4" ratchet to reach it and even then it was a struggle. It's not a very impressive ratchet, the 72 count tooth kinda sucks, but it does have a locking flex head and it got the job done. It's 12.5" long. My longest 1/4" ratchet was 7". The only...

    2004 Dual Climate Control Click and Thump Under Dash

    Well it's my turn to replace the lower front actuator. I'm gonna try to do a little write up with some pics to help in the future. I have everything out except 1 screw. It appears the lower/floor duct needs to come out and there is 1 screw in the middle in the back holding it to the plenum...

    Cardone reman steering rack

    I was also shocked that my experience with Edelmann has not been better. I really thought they were better. Maybe someone will chime in with another story or better opinion. Look around maybe you can find a Motorcraft rack somewhere. While my experience with them has not been terrific it...

    Timing set and a startup anomaly question

    It's been about 6 months and the dang passenger side valve cover is leaking where the timing cover meets the head. Interestingly it's leaking out on top of the silicone that squished out. I had run out of usable The Right Stuff so I used a new tube of Permatex Black along with the Motorcraft...

    Cardone reman steering rack

    I have not used Cardone parts in years. I have replaced my steering rack twice. Both were a Motorcraft reman. The first lasted 2yrs before it developed as much play as the original. The second is now starting to get a bit. I'm not sure what brand to try, honestly I wasn't impressed with the...

    Leak repair on 4R75w transmission

    Nice write up, thank you. There is so much to learn from some you guys with experience. I had no idea the 2005/6 models were drive by wire.

    Suspension solution to 04 expi 5.4

    That is really cool. What a terrific idea that should solve the problem for the OP. Thanks for posting this.

    ABS pulse no locking

    Hard to say what the cause might be, but a high end OBDII scanner will almost certainly tell you. That's the best place to start. Otherwise you'll just be throwing money at the problem hoping to fix it. That said my first thought was, how long has it been since the brake fluid has been...

    snorkel ideas

    I doubt anyone makes a snorkel for the Gen 2 Expedition. The after market support for this model is pretty limited. I can't recall ever seeing a Gen 2 with a snorkel.

    Suspension solution to 04 expi 5.4

    I don't have a good option and certainly nothing just bolt on. However, I believe anything that can support the trailer tongue weight is gonna make the Expedition ride miserably without the trailer. Except some sort of adjustable spring rate suspension. Air suspension is the only thing I can...
