    303 Graphene Nano Spray Coating

    What kind of prep for these products? I plan to run my vehicle through a commercial wash after a good hand cleaning of the worst spots. Right now I am struggling to get 2 years of mold and grime off the roof and out of the seams for the body panels etc. What are folks using to get off this...

    No indications that I need a timing job!!!

    Thanks; I will save my money for the rainy day. Fortunately I have some weird 20 year unlimited mile power train warranty that covers the valve train.

    P013C CODE CHECK ENGINE 2013 5.4L 3V

    Well this is weird, almost exactly a year later. So I have a lot going on been kicking this down the road. Sometime back in May I had this P013C code show up again and I reset it. The past month I have not been driving at all because I had eye surgery around Dec 15. So the car has been...

    Adding 3rd row to SSV

    These are pictures of my third row seats. The stain I mentioned in our conversation is actually on the rear of the 2nd row center seat, not the 3rd row. The pictures show a couple surface stains, the worst on the rear 60% seat around the latch handle. I think these will easily come off. The car...

    We’d Love Your Input — Help Us Improve the Site!

    On the old site one could easily find sub-topics by 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation. Now it seems all is lumped together.

    Adding 3rd row to SSV

    1) can you measure the space between the lines in the picture? This is where the two forward most panels meet and is essentially dead space in that central measurement you can no longer make above Picture 1 question 2. 2) Can you measure the depth of the panel that covers the forward...

    ABS Brake system codes/ on & off

    I would try either to have your existing module repaired, often a cold solder joint inside. Or buy an OEM new part from e-bay seller. I got mine (2013 XLT) from: https://www.ebay.com/itm/236245625311 . It will require a shop or dealer to program the VIN to make it work in your vehicle. There...

    Adding 3rd row to SSV

    I could not post these in the conversation due to the two pictures. 1) Is your vehicle a standard length like XLT or extended like EL? Please provide depth of the entire rear compartment as per long blue arrow. (Picture 2) 2) In the picture below could you provide the width of the opening...

    Strange Rotor Wear/Spots

    Do you routinely drive off road or on gravel? Use brakes on long downhill runs?

    Expy 2010 rattle sound when 1st start in the morning

    My 2013 does it . It sounds like the compressor clutch rattle/bouncing. Turn the entire HVAC system off it makes no rattle.

    I am in Orlando Florida and would possibly consider the swap

    ABS Brake system codes/ on & off

    Best to have the codes read. Auto parts stores will do this for you. Bring a note pad and write them down or take pictures. Please report what you find. Mine (2013) is a light show and message center flashing all the related advancetrack, brakes ABS, traction control. I have a sole B1342 code ...

    2 row seating

    The third row seating can be deleted at the factory or in the field SSV (police) units normally delete for a dog/prisoner cage or more storage. There is a plastic bin with lid from factory, but it does not offer much utility as the construction is wasteful. I am going to do a delete and custom...

    Triton 5.4L 3V Engine Reliability

    This is such a good point, lost on everyone who has a vehicle with a timing belt/interference engine. The EXPY runs far longer and gives you a noisy heads up, while the timing belt just snaps and leaves you with a puddle of oil, iron and aluminum.

    Triton 5.4L 3V Engine Reliability

    The Car Wizard is a bit over reactive in his condemnation of the 5.4L 3V. First there is no timing belt. It is a chain. A rattle at startup could be your AC compressor. Mine does that and at 120K as far as I can tell no timing problems. Turn your AC and defrost totally off and see if it still...

    Safety inspection scam suspected on '13 Expedition. Brakes fine goiing in, bad coming out. Help.

    Does Missouri test brakes on a "rolling road" where the car is on rollers that are ganged to simulate a road and then make a hard stop? Maybe the brakes were ready to go?

    Need help. I accidentally ripped this out.

    Washer hose is impossible to buy at auto parts stores. But Lowes and Home Despot have drip hose for irrigation that is that size.

    Did I damage some valves

    So I could pro-actively have all my roller/followers replaced without doing an entire camshaft removal/replace? I have 121K and no noises.

    DW Bothered By Flashing Light

    correction. indeed my padlock/alarm light flashes.

    DW Bothered By Flashing Light

    Make sure your rear hatch glass is closed. When you arm the alarm with the FOB you should get one chirp from the horn. Two chirps means something is not closed/secured. I don't see a flashing padlock on my 2013 XLT.

    I don't think they could possibly get enough training to troubleshoot the new cars.
