    Steering Shaft Pinch Bolt Play

    You could tighten that bolt further - but that might not be your issue. I think the torque is 35 ft/lbs, but that’s just going from memory. A likely culprit is the steering shaft itself. Ford wants something like $500 for a new one. I replaced mine with one from the Amazon for about $50. That...

    What Spark Plugs should I run?

    You have the 3-valve 5.4, so the new plug recommended by O’Reillys is wrong. Go back together with Motorcraft plugs, and use nickel anti-seize.

    2006 5.4 Struggling to turn on sometimes.

    In the grand scheme of things, starters are cheap and relatively easy to swap out. That would be my first step.

    No Crank No Start

    I don’t think your service AdvanceTrac light is related to your no-start, per se; however, the light could be a symptom of the same problem that’s causing your no start, such as a smoked PCM. It could be a plethora of things. Generally speaking, automatic starts won’t work either if there are...

    Power Pedals

    I had this issue, and the solution is replacing the plastic gear that breaks, with one made of brass. Read this thread HERE. It’s about $100 for the gear, it took me about 20 minutes, and I’m confident I will never have that problem again.

    OP good luck on your new quest! Wish I had something to offer, but unfortunately I don’t. I do, and I’m certain the eternity of the internet, appreciates you capturing your thorough troubleshooting and documenting it. I’m sure others in the future will be helped by your information.

    Cruse control not working

    There are several places to troubleshoot the cruise. I did a deep dive, meticulously troubleshot, and got mine working. It was about a year ago, but all the information I found on this forum. Have you conducted the cruise control self-diagnostic test? The procedure is in the maintenance...

    Damn that’s a lot of time, money and effort to not have solved the problem. At what point do you just toss the keys to the dealer and say don’t give it back to me until it’s right? Sorry it didn’t work out for you! Yet…

    Good luck brother! It’s been a slog.

    5.4 2 valve intake

    I’ve been rolling with the Dorman for about 15,000 miles. Everyone poo-poos Dorman, but when I was doing my engine swap, OEM was unobtainium. I have not been unhappy so far with the Dorman.

    Driving with tailgate tied down over kayaks

    Roof rack would be a smarter move. Kayaks sticking out of an SUV in Chicago traffic? No part of that sounds like a good idea. Good luck.

    2004 Expedition - help me identify this rusted box driver side rear corner

    That looks good Juice. Nice work!

    Front seats travel track covers??

    I don’t have that vintage Expy; however, that exposed worm gear is normal. The carrier that travels along the worm gear comes from the top of the threads, or to put it differently, is mounted to the bottom of the seat track. If that gear was covered, there would be no way for your seats to move...

    Engine swap

    The general consensus is the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. I did put a re-man’d 5.4 2v in my ‘03 EB last summer, and the replacement engine supposedly addressed all of the known issues with that vintage 5.4 (timing chain guides, phasers, oil pump, etc).

    Roof Rack Part

    Junk yard? Seems like somewhat of a common piece that would span several years.

    DO IT! Throw the Volant air intake on there while you’re at it. They do include a 15% military discount as well - it’s like they’re paying you at that point. PM me if you’ve got any questions. You won’t regret it!

    Help!! Dealership doesn’t know what’s wrong

    WTF?… That’s a recipe to turn what could be any minor problem into a very time consuming and expensive one.

    Help!! Dealership doesn’t know what’s wrong

    If you’re getting a Check Engine Light, post what Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) you get. A OBD2 code reader is required for that. If you don’t have one, I’ve used Blue Driver for years and it works great. About $100 on the Amazon. Or take it to your local parts store, they should be able to...

    E-fans and CAI 5.4 2v

    The first e-fan installation was in 2000 with a Flex-a-Lite kit. At that time the fan controller was integral to the fan assembly. In ‘05 that fan controller failed. The only way to replace the controller was to replace the entire fan assembly. I ended up selling that truck and the next guy...
