    2005 developed loud engine knock

    Hotrod, Is it a tick or a knock? the phasers are an issue and will have the ticking noise but a knock is different. With these 3v, a rocker can break off to create the knock. Note you can get a remanufactured engine for around the same cost as quoted for repair (not including labor) A...

    Are there any Issues with Replacing the Spark Plugs in my 2003 with the 5.4 Engine??

    I have done this a couple of times now and it not that big of a deal just take your time and have the correct sockets, nuckles, and extensions. The passenger side rear is the most challenging to get to. What I have found to be the easiest way for me to maneuver through is to take out the air...

    Any high performance radiators for these things? And electric fans?

    Hi Kryo-Genik, I looked through my paperwork and it did not indicate the manufactures. The radiator is a 3 core aluminum new unit and the fan is a 16 in curved blade push/pull unit (I have as a pusher). I also had the condenser replace as a precaution. Any quality brand of this combination will...

    Hi BITUSA, I would agree with Hamsfield on this one. Find a researched out shop and use Motocraft as you indicated you were going to. I speak from experience on this one

    Any high performance radiators for these things? And electric fans?

    Ragebuzz, I currently have one pusher fan that is hooked up to turn on when the A/C comes on ( it turns off and on within temp range) You will see an image at the battery where they installed a separate fuse. One thing I am going to add is a switch (discretely located) to where I can turn off...

    Second Generation '04 Ford Expedition 4x4

    To remove running boards grab a wrench get under truck and you will see 3 brackets attached to running boards (front, middle, rear of boards) with two bolts in each bracket. Just undo the bolts that hold the mounts to truck (you do not need to undo from running board unless you want to) Maybe 15...

    Second Generation '04 Ford Expedition 4x4

    Truck looks good! I'm about to go in for a second round on the lift with my truck and go a little different route. Currently, I have 3 1/2 front 2 1/2 rear spacer set up which is the max lift. I really never liked how much angle it put on the A-arm joints (stress). What I have researched...

    Any high performance radiators for these things? And electric fans?

    In 2018 I had my radiator replaced with a 3 core and pusher fan when I had A/C work done. I was not having a cooling issue but looked at it as preventative maintenance with haveing over 200k on the truck at the time. Interestingly my truck came with the towing packing and the stock radiator was...

    2005 Expedition: 40mph shudder, low mpg, stall

    Hi Booksix sounds like you have few gremlins and not sure I can answer all or any. I will just express my experience in regards to #4 misfire. Not sure if I had the same issue but I was experiencing an issue where the truck would start to feel off and somewhat cut out. Took to a mechanic and the...

    Should I Be Cheap?

    Years back my A/C was misdiagnosed so I had the system replaced. Not realizing at the time how particular our vehicles are in some regards to OEM parts (I had owned GM vehicles before and you could pretty much put any aftermarket part and no problems so that was my experience) Bottom line the...

    Expy for off-roading?

    Nice looking rig! One other thing to consider that helps is if while off-roading put on 17" with 35" (you could probably fit 37" or 38" )so you can air down more. My second set of tires was 33" A/T when I went to 35" R/T on 17" and was able to air down to 20PSI made the truck much more capable.

    Bad Battery in 2005 Expedition

    I've had my truck since 2009 bought with 34k on the clock now at 291k and have gone through 4 to 5 batteries from different high-end brands. For the most part, my experience has been they give no warning starts fine one day clicking the next and I just needed to replace the battery. I did have...

    Play in the steering wheel could mean a few things, including your rack and pinion being worn out.

    Looks good, I am doing some similar stuff getting ready to hand the truck over to my son. You got a great price on a new trans, I couple years back I lost OD and had rebuilt and cost me $1500 (would have preferred to drop in a new one) Enjoy

    Upper Control Arm Bushings / HD Control Arm?

    Normally you should take out the strut pack. I have seen youtube vids where some guys will take a prybar and compress the strut pack to remove where the strut mount is connected to get space but looks really sketchy.

    Engine swap 2014 5.4 into 2005 with 5.4

    I have an opportunity to purchase a salvaged 3rd gen 2014 expedition with 5.4 that was hit on the side passenger rear and was totalled out by insurance. I was thinking of using the engine and transmission plus other components to make it work from the donor vehicle (donor vehicle will cost $500...

    Coilover shock replacement recommendations please.

    I have Bilstein's 4600 at all 4 corners only good on the smoothest of roads. Very, very harsh and uncomfortable on any road with imperfections, at least that is my experience.

    Are bilsteins really worth it?

    I replaced all 4 corners with Bilsteins, great on smooth roads helped with stability, other than that they are terrible on any road that is not well maintained. I feel they are valved to harshly. Any roughness in the road the shocks do not give and sends shockwaves through you and the vehicle.

    4" lift

    I do not know either I can just state from my experience. I did a mix of OEM and Moog parts where I could not find a part of higher quality (unfortunately high-quality aftermarket products are for our trucks are not being made like other vehicles) When I did my lift I replaced all the steering...

    4" lift

    Hi JG, did not see the alert on your question so I am sure you have it answered. Anyways I have been running my set up for a couple of years now. Though there is considerable angle changes on the ball joints and ends, I have not had to replace anything since I did the original lift and replaced...

    Looking for Advice - 2nd Gen 2004 Eddie Bauer Edition

    You may want to look at the cost of the mechanical items you mentioned you will need to replace including labor. These trucks are particular to the parts you put in them, I am not an OEM guy but I am when it comes to this truck they like factory parts and the A/C compressor alone is not cheap...
