    Hunter Touchless Alignment Inspection System?

    I was told at my dealer, this system is not accurate, it just a guide. When it comes to an alignment there are 2 things: does your car pull? are your tires wearing funny? If both NO, you don't need one. You can check your 'toe', with a string, pulled tight(an old trick). You tie a string so that...

    340,000 miles, Change oil to 5W-30?

    Ford issued a TSB on 5w30 in a 5w20 requirement engine. It is acceptable, but will impact mileage .3%. 5W30 is used in almost all Ford vehicles 'outside' the US. In Australia and Canada only 5w30 is recommend. The second number 20/30 is viscosity 'hot'. The 5W is how is flows cold. I have been...

    How to fix your stock radio (dead LED display)

    Ford 'made in Mexico' radios. The 'E series' vans and chassis all crap out. They sit directly over the engine dog house. The heat kills them. Ford continues to install the same bad radio, in there stripped chassis shuttles(says a lot about Ford). The radio is used in many different models, but...

    Bye bye Expedition

    In a actual 'forest fire', the aircraft should be much higher. There are trees and uneven terrain. Crop dusting a rust free Cali, SUV is a waste.

    2001 5.4l Triton Engine Knocking Noise

    I listened to your sound, on your video. Its sounds like the fan rubbing on the shroud.

    Push button start and key proximity

    My cell phone can be locked with number code. They should make push button start vehicles, with a option to do it.

    Aluminum Skin & Magnet Mounts

    I thought the body panels are aluminum, but the body structure is still steel. The roof may be steel.

    2019 Limited has CD player hidden?

    Remove the head unit and read the part #. It may be the same as the 2018. Older Ford radios, like in older Expeditions with single cd 2008-2012, looked the same as other models(E150, Mustang), right down to the face plate and plugs. However, they had different part numbers and won't power on...

    Compression test 01 Navigator

    In a mass produced engine, I thought the cams are made of hardened, high carbon, tool steel. GM had issues in the mid 1970's with 'soft cams' mixed with low oil pressure. They were cheap, cast iron, 'flame hardened'. They fixed the problem with better steel and a better lubrication. Hardened...

    Compression test 01 Navigator

    I don't see how a scratch on the cam, makes it bad. Its a roller follower and is covered in oil. The scratch is in direction of movement, not across the lobe. The video on youtube, has a guy wrenching, that claims the exhaust valves leak on these motors. He doesn't explain why. A another guy on...

    Compression test 01 Navigator

    Check the valve spring. If it broke, would explain the compression loss and the roller coming off. Can you see if the timing chain is tight. That's another problem with these motors. Bad tensioners

    Compression test 01 Navigator

    They held on by pressure only, no fasteners. If the top end is starved of oil, too heavy oil is used or over reved, they can come off. Was it interfering with valve on the bad cyl? Just put it back on. Make sure the roller is not damaged.

    Compression test 01 Navigator

    Maybe a unseated Cam follower. However, it would be laying somewhere and you would see it. Its not #8. It could be stuck near the valve spring and holding it open. Your arrow is pointing to a lash adjuster.

    Turtle Wax Ice is sold at most stores and is not the old paste in a can, idiot. Anyone I recommended it to, has been amazed how easy and what a nice job it did.

    Black...

    Here is a recent photo, for a know it all. The clear coat looks dam good for age and Buffalo winters. It is OCD to obsessively wash and wax a daily driver. This one gets a coat of Turtle Wax Ice or Harley Davidson gloss coat about twice a year.

    Black...

    Having a car 'wraped' only keeps it nice for the next owner. Two things: Black absolutely looks best when clean and Black shows every imperfection and swirl. I owned a black Corvette. I recommend using a glaze,like 3M imperial hand glaze or Meguirar's #7 show car. A polish removes paint and a...

    Capless Gas Tank logic

    They sell the cap less funnel at Walmat, for a $1, I have a couple now. Some of the fuel injection cleaners and octane boost, are now in a long neck bottle. It says on bottle for cap less vehicles. I have one I re-use, to add my Lucas Fuel treatment. I believe the cap less design, was an Obama...
