    transmission swap im lost

    Sounds like you paid to swap out a bad trans for another bad trans. Good luck when swapping junkyard transmissions. They are in the junk yard due to being wrecked, bad engine or bad trans. Does it shift into 4th, OD and reverse manually?

    CAI or drop in air filter, worthwhile?

    Here is an opinion based on facts from an old school individual/instructor: 1) If the company doesn't provide dyno results comparing their product to factory - it is show only 2) Those that do provide the results you will probably see the most results near WOT 3) How often are you driving at...

    Timing set install done. Trouble Codes Abound!

    Use any method that is easier for you. Place the rtv so that it will be between both the female and male portions of the connector once the plug is seated. The amount to use is dependent on how aggressive it is. Usually a little dab will do ya

    2000 Expy charging problems

    Best place is a junk yard. If it is a pull it yourself yard you can get as much of the wiring you need. If you just need the connector those are available on line. Dorman may make a pigtail.

    Electrical nightmare please help

    Electric doesn't scare me unless the voltage is north of 220v, then it has my undivided attention. Pull fuse 21 in the central junction box and see if the lights go out. Can you read & understand wiring diagrams?

    Timing set install done. Trouble Codes Abound!

    Where are the "rednecks" when you need them? Real easy, use a little rtv silicone to hold the connector on. The more you apply the harder it will be to remove in the future. Just don't get any on the pins.

    2016 85k miles, transmission went out

    Usually when internals fail there is a distinct "you're spending big bucks" sound that is similar to nuts in a can. Seeing the OP didn't say that I doubt there has been a catastrophic internal failure. The high end scanners will command specific functions to occur for testing procedures, simple...

    Wiring harness for 2005 Expedition Eddie Bauer Sport Utility 4D?

    When I've bought harnesses in the past they were very expensive, hundreds of $ for a partial. What is stopping you from repairing the existing harness?

    Are you able to pull up any engine info on the screen? What you are describing is similar to compatibility issues between modules.

    Dealer Recommends Transmission change at 44K. Is this a money grab?

    Here is something to consider. All the automatic transmissions today are basically electronically controlled hydraulic machines. Due to government mileage mandates they have become confined into smaller areas and operate at higher temperatures than years ago. This requires synthetic trans fluid...

    2003 EB Charging System Warning/Battery Icon On

    Transporter I would measure charging voltage at the output stud and case ground and at the battery for accurate results. Apps are nice but may not show voltage drop in certain parts of the circuit. What you are describing is an intermittent electrical fault. Those can be anywhere in the...

    2003 EB Charging System Warning/Battery Icon On

    Hey Transporter, with all the great advice you have been given so far I would prove the alternator has failed before tossing parts at it.

    Ignition key does not start 2006 EB, 5.4 3v

    Welcome to the site. Your post indicates the transmission shop is going to diagnose the "no-start". The key is only part of the anti theft system and will tell the pcm if the vehicle is being started by an authorized key. It does not disable the starting circuit. The engine will turn but not...

    Dealer Recommends Transmission change at 44K. Is this a money grab?

    As long as it isn't a power flush changing the transmission fluid every 30-40,000 miles will prolong the life of the transmission.

    Intermittent "Check Charging System"

    Do you want to diagnose the problem or toss parts until you get lucky? Here are the diagrams for a 2004 4.6. The 5.4 should be similar if not identical. If you are diagnosing, check voltage at the alternator output stud and alternator case. Should be above 12.6v with engine at idle. Red lead...

    Timing Chain Cover Leaking - 2007 Navigator

    Why not get the shop manual off ebay, invest in some needed tools and save yourself some money? It wouldn't hurt to swap out the timing setup since the cover is already off. The is a lady on the site that also has a Navi who is in the middle of tearing down the upper end of the motor to...

    Parts Question (2004 Expedition)

    Stupid parts tossing dealer. They are supposed to be able to make/repair connections as needed but most would rather sell parts than repair what is there. They may not list them in their parts database but that shouldn't stop them. On RockAuto's website: 2004 - 5.4 Expy...

    2003 Exp radio and gauge cluster issues

    Scanners will not show electrical issues with the radio or cluster on that generation since they are not on the can bus. Taking the dash off to look for loose connections may end up being a waste of time. Better to have a wiring diagram and see what is the common connection between the...
