    Compression test 01 Navigator

    The plastic gets caught in the opening of the oil pick up and the metal screen. You may want to drop the pan and inspect it. It restricts the oil pressure.

    2018 Transmission Clunking/slamming in gears

    I would want a little more info. Such as: Are they replacing, just the valve body(minor surgery, drop the pan), Rebuilding the tranny, in house or are they replacing the entire transmission with an brand new one? I don't like that she told you "parts arriving". I would not want a rebuild, in any...

    Need To Replace My Fuel Tank

    The EVAP monitor won't run when the tank is above 3/4 full, or outside temp is below 40 degrees. It will just show monitor 'not ready'. It also takes 2 failures to trigger the CEL light. Most states allow for 1(or 2) monitors to be not ready, for state inspection. If you keep your tank between...

    2018 Transmission Clunking/slamming in gears

    OK Seinfeld. The newer Ford Expeditions have used a 6R80 or similar 10 speed electronically controlled transmission. How is that completely unrelated? You're just a smart ass 'funny guy'. Probably had a few rings around your eye or need one.

    Aggravations, Ford's retained ownership.

    My cousin has a 2019 and accidentally hit the hatch button on his remote. He had backed in and was close to a pole. The power motor lifted it, right into it. It left a chunk of paint missing on the hatch. Beware of this problem...

    HELP! What happened here?

    It looks like oil. The oil pan looks dry however. The rubber plug, missing in bell housing, is to access the torque converter drain plug. It could be dripping and slinging trans fluid, as it spins. Someone may of 86ed the plug to keep it from building up. The front seal on the transmission my be...

    You can’t make this $*&@ up!

    My local automatic car wash sprays rainX(for an upgrade). When it's busy everyone gets it. My windshield 'beads' after I get it. I also notice dried, dirty water spots in the morning. If the blades are good quality and newer, it's not needed.

    Best 12V Tire Inflator?

    The Air Dragon. I found this at Ollies for $16. Plugs in to 12V or has a built in battery. It has a long cord and a nice case. It stops at the pressure you set on a digital screen. Inflates very fast.

    "Thunder" 1998 Expedition Build Thread .... fixed pics!!

    I found a factory subwoofer at the local pull a part for $7. Are all the 2000/1st gen models, pre wired for the Sub or do they use a different harness. I am only asking, because I see you just pulled the harness.

    The 4x4s don't have coil springs, they have torsion bars.

    There should be two speed sensors one near the front and one rear. Might be able to swap them.

    "Thunder" 1998 Expedition Build Thread .... fixed pics!!

    I like everything but the low stance and front bumper. The OEM stance was better. I think the Expedition looked better original. I am not a fan of the 'aftermarket' look. Some the upgrades seem like overkill.

    Ford make aluminum wheels 1st gens?

    Ford used different size lugs on the 1st gen Expeditions. The 4x4( alloy 17") xlt, and Eddie Bauer alloy had larger ones than the Eddie Bauer(17" steel/chrome) and 4x2 and 16 versions. In short, the alloy wheels will be too big on a OEM steel version lugs.

    Lincoln emblem on 2020 Platinum engine?

    In 1956-57 the Ford Y block had 'Thunderbird' valve covers. My grandfather had them on his Ford and it was not a Thunderbird. However interesting this is, it's wrong and should be fixed. To me, if I was thinking about buying it used, I would have reservations and questions. I drove a 2020...

    Air Filter

    I run the K&N in my 5.0l Mustang GT. There is a 'K&N' air filter setting on some of the tuners. That tells me, they are letting more air into the engine. Re-mapping with the tuner takes advantage of it. The OEM paper original seemed very restrictive(I posted a photo). I am getting almost 19mpg...

    This has to be the highest priced 2nd gen in the country.

    I just saw 2001 Excursion diesel selling for $22K. If that Expedition only had 6,000mi and was from Florida it could be worth $13K. I am always on the look out for older, super low mile vehicles. They are out there.

    should I trust a ford dealer to install my engine

    Dealer for warranty work only or you will most likely pay 25% more than a local shop.

    aftermarket key fob

    The ones on ebay work fine and are less than $7. I also found one in a junk yard car(free). I was able to self program both. If your vehicle has an after market remote start, The 2nd key may be zip tied to the steering column. Installers do this to bypass the PATS system. I bought a PATSII key...

    Rear diff covers and oil

    I did mine, it was dripping/rusted. It takes (don't quote me) 2.7qts 75W140 synthetic. It's not cheap. The Diff is not a limited slip. It's a basic open gear set. It doesn't need the posi modifier additive. Make sue you remove the fill plug, before starting the job. The sealant used on the cover...
