    Annoying Message Center and warning lights: SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK and CHECK BRAKES

    I have been driving the highway past few days. No warning lights. The OBDII shows "Ready". I have noticed the left front tire runs about 15 degrees F higher than right It seems everything is hotter in that corner. But comparisons of the hub, rotor and caliper are about same right to left. I will...

    Dimensions with the 2nd and 3rd row seats removed?

    There are various photos in this group of camping conversions as well as third row delete. You can also find youtube videos of SSV vehicles with 3rd row delete being converted back. As far as measurement, you will probably need to make your own. The third row is somewhat irregular as the seats...

    Did you have any problems with the brake hoses choking off and overheating the brakes?

    Annoying Message Center and warning lights: SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK and CHECK BRAKES

    As it turns out, fixing the tire pressure had no effect as the light show came on again on my recent 80 mile round trip. I will be checking all the connectors I can reach to see if one is loose. Oddly it seems if I drive without any warning lights, and then turn of then on, the engine they come...

    2001 Eddie Bauer 4x4 - Repair or Replace?

    I have a Gen 1 and a Gen 3 and frankly the Gen 1's will be serviceable a lot longer into the future than the later Generations due to the increased complexity and scarce availability of electronic modules of later generations. Plus the Gen 1's really look a lot nicer, I think all would agree.

    2001 Eddie Bauer 4x4 - Repair or Replace?

    Oil cap milky is simply condensation from water aka humidity building up in the oil. You need to run the engine hot to boil it out. You can always get the oil tested by Blackstone Laboratories and they will tell you if there is coolant. But usually not. I don't thing head gasket failure is a...

    RADIO SYNCH (one) Single Play vs Dual Play

    I am in no hurry to replace the radio, rather to fix this small problem.

    RADIO SYNCH (one) Single Play vs Dual Play

    2013 XLT With basic radio/CD/XM My radio keeps reverting to single play and audio is playing from rear speakers only ans sounds muffled. If I go into menu and select dual play, the audio then plays fine in the front and rear. It just started doing this and seems to revert to single play . The op...

    Annoying Message Center and warning lights: SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK and CHECK BRAKES

    Well so far so good. Aired up tires and drove around town and no red/orange lights or messages. Tomorrow I make an 80 mile trip and bring back a 740 LB load. Keeping fingers crossed that maybe it was a major TPMS alert causing ABS/brake system alert causing Advancetrac warning. Could that be a...

    2001 Eddie Bauer 4x4 - Repair or Replace?

    Let us know how it works out. Your truck is worth a lot more in running condition. Finding a used transmission for a Ford Expedition should not be the holy grail.

    Kings foil, scour your local wreckers for a used transmission with a 30 day guarantee. Should not be hard to find one and not that hard to get installed, even DIY. Just get matching part numbers.

A year ago I bought a 2013 and I am having...

    2001 Eddie Bauer 4x4 - Repair or Replace?

    I would do an assessment of rust underneath, body mounts radiator support, sills, paint etc. If all is good, I would keep enjoying it. If it is rusted structurally, I would not put new power train in it. If it were low miles, good mechanical, put money toward the body. But don't do both.

    Annoying Message Center and warning lights: SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK and CHECK BRAKES

    It has a new dealer installed battery, but I will check to see maybe a terminal is loose or corroded. To be safe I am also going to check for loose connectors under the dash and the ABS module.

    Connecting rod bearings too tight

    Are they even the correct bearings? Maybe they are too thick or wrong part altogether. What happens with an original bearing?

    Annoying Message Center and warning lights: SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK and CHECK BRAKES

    2013 XLT two days ago I was driving around town, all was fine. I stopped to drop wife off at a store and I sat in the car engine running, radio on. Then made some phone calls via Synch (one) . Played with heater/AC controls (I have a bad mode blend door in back, clicking). Turned car off for a...

    2023 expedition max tail lights didn’t auto come on?

    AUTO and Daylight Running Lights (Headlights) in many vehicles do not actually turn turn on the tail lights. It has been this way a long time. I don't know why the NHTSB does not reign in this potential hazard. I first learned of it driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee rental vehicle. I got pulled over...

    question about transmission fluid cooling

    There is actually a pump inside the transmission to circulate ATF fluid. I don't think the coils for the transmission cooler are very large. Did you notice any coolant on the transmission side or vice versa?

    2022 Max lemon

    1) Its crazy to pay $95K for any car, especially with a 6 cylinder turbo engine. Which is why I have both a 2001 4.6L and a 2013 5.4L in my driveway. 2) If you pay $95K for an SUV you should not have a cracked block and TWO broken differentials. 3) If you pay $95K for an SUV and it breaks down...

    Loud tire rubbing sound in cold - how bad is it?

    I had new tires installed along with brake work and had a sound at low speed that I was sure was a wheel bearing. Took it right back to the shop, they drove it, said it was a tire noise "wearing in". I drove it some more, it changed with steering angle. Took it back and said it is the wheel...

    Adding message center controls to an SSV

    I don't think that is the case for later model SSV's. It appears in the message center. I have seen screen shots.

    Adding message center controls to an SSV

    The SSV with column shifter displays the PRND321 on the cluster. The civilian model without does not. I have a civilian model (2013 XLT) and would love to have PRND321 display on the cluster so I don't have to look down at the shifter handle on the console. If this is possible, I would love to know.
