    Check Fill Tube message (P0457 pending)

    Got the fill tube message last Thursday and tried the wd40 and fuel fill funnel manipulation. Went in for rotator cuff surgery next day, so can't play with it a lot... Tried starting today and message still there. Did code reset, but still have message. Anyone else have this and what was...

    Well, about time for tires again...

    Have Michelin LTX M/S2 and they have been fine. Looking at Firestone Destination LE3 since they are several hundred less. I used to use the LE2 when I was drivingfull size vans and they were great. I don't offroad and mostly stick to paved roads. May come down to who will stick in some new TPMS...

    Mechanic in DFW, TX experienced in 5.4 3V timing jobs

    I've decided I don't want to tackle this thing. I know a chain tensioner seal is leaking, but once up to pressure, all is good. If it is apart, might as well do the whole thing. I usually do minor maintenance myself, brakes, alternators, water pumps, etc, but use a local mechanic for more in...

    Starting to hear chains at startup

    Chains are starting to drag at startup. Guessing the tensioner seals are gone at 203K. What are the options? I know someone makes a ratcheting tensioner, how are they? Do I need to do full timing job, or just tensioners? Is it just a front cover removal and replace, or pull chains, cams etc?

    Throttle Body question

    I've seen several posts about a throttle body going bad and causing issues. Isn't it really just a butterfly valve that opens to let air in? What goes bad where that doesn't work? Is it some kind of sensor in a bypass tube or something that get's clogged? Just wondering how it fails and if it is...

    Rear AC blend and mode failure

    Sorry for posting this twice, but the AC section doesn't seem to get much traffic... I have codes in forscan saying rear blend and mode failure. Failure is real. At least it is stuck on overhead and cold for the summer. I know where the actuators are back behind the rear right panel, but what...

    2010 Rear AC blend and mode failure

    I have codes in forscan saying rear blend and mode failure. Failure is real. At least it is stuck on overhead and cold for the summer. I know where the actuators are, but what are the chances both go out? Should I be looking somewhere else? Fan works and can be controlled by front or rear...

    Towing with 2010 and 3.31 rear

    I'm curious about towing on mine. I have a 2010 XLT and do have the towing package as far as I can tell. 7 pin connector, etc. But, I have a 3.31 rear end... What should I expect to be able to tow with that? I know a 3.73 would be much better, but am thinking about a bumper pull travel trailer...

    Latest with my weird leaks and errors

    I had a leak that definitely looked like water pump, but it went away after 2 days. Then the crossover pipe leaked while I was monitoring it, for another 2 days. No more real leaks. Yesterday, there was Camshaft position sensor errors stored for both banks and a low charge warning. No MIL, just...

    P0341 and P0346 error

    I ran Forscan as a check before we go on a trip this coming weekend. It is showing 2 camshaft position errors, P0341 and P0346. It seems to be running great. There is no MIL showing. Could it have been some transient error? Where are the those sensors on this engine? I'm a little concerned since...

    Coolant leak - Driving me insane

    Parked my truck yesterday after work and drove my wife's car last night. Came home and saw a puddle under it. It was dark out, but it was coolant. Seemed to be coming down below main crank pulley. Figure it's a water pump since it's at about 165K. Level didn't seem low at all. Drove it for a 10...

    Individual tire pressure on 2010?

    I asked this in the FORScan section, but there isn't much traffic there... Just picked up an OBDLink MX+ and am currently using Torque pro (and OBDLink that came with it). Basically I wanted to be able to monitor any misfires and transmission temp as well as the general diags. I would also like...

    Individual tire pressure on 2010?

    Just picked up an OBDLink MX+ and am currently using Torque pro (and OBDLink that came with it). Just installed yesterday, so I haven't had a great deal of time with it. Basically I wanted to be able to monitor any misfires and transmission temp as well as the general diags. I would also like to...

    Transmission leak issue

    I've asked this in the transmission section, but no activity there... 2010 XLT 165,000 miles Transmission serviced at 65K and 140K miles with no issues or metal. It started at 162K, leaked a small amount for about 4 days, then stopped (for a month till yesterday). It appears to be coming from...

    Transmission leak question

    2010 XLT 165,000 miles Transmission serviced at 65K and 140K miles with no issues or metal. It started at 162K, leaked a small amount for about 4 days, then stopped (for a month till yesterday). It appears to be coming from front seal. Parking flat, it drips right about where engine and...

    Front seal leak

    2010 XLT 162,000 miles Transmission serviced at 65K and 140K miles with no issues or metal. I've just discovered a small transmission leak. It appears to be coming from front seal. Parking flat, it drips right about where engine and transmission meet. Parking downhill in my driveway, it drips...

    Door Ajar Switch

    Here's a stupid question... I think I have a parasitic drain, or my battery is really going bad even though they say it is good after charging. I want to check for draw, but where is the door ajar switch to override? I want it to look like it does overnight, but can't pull fuses to check on the...

    AC out again...

    Had the compressor, both orifice tubes, and condenser coil replaced in February. Had to tweak the refrigerant levels a bit when I got it back, but it has been fine. Started truck on Friday and had no cool air. Was hoping (and expecting) it to be related to the compressor so I would get it fixed...

    Splash Guard

    2010 XLT. I need to add the splash guard that covers the underside of the front of the engine. Mine has come loose and is ripped up. I don't know the name of it and can't find it at Rockauto or Partsgeek. Any ideas where to look or where to get that part? The one under the passenger side is...

    AC cold enough?

    I had my compressor and condenser replaced in Jan/Feb timeframe. Haven't really needed it much since then till lately. Seemed to be not quite cool enough, so I put a set of gauges on it and pressures looked a little low at 85 degrees outside air. Was about 45/175 pressures. I added a can of 143a...

    Need cargo rack part numbers (and where to get them)

    2010 XLT. Had a kayak on J-brackets attached to the crossbars. It was strapped well around the kayak, and side bar. I don't know exactly what happened, but I suspect too much wind on a cross breeze. The front of the bar ripped out of the roof and destroyed the side rail and both cross rails...

    Need part number for splash guard

    I had some work done on my AC, well, new compressor, condenser, orifice tubes, etc. Anyway, I took off on a trip the next day and saw the splash guard under the truck laying on the ground except for one connector at a stop. I pulled it off and it is probably not worth saving now. I can't find...

    Wrench icon

    I had a wrench icon come on the dash about a mile from work this morning. Didn't notice any difference in driving that last bit. Got to work, left it on and saw it was supposed to be limp mode. I happened to have my code reader with me and didn't get any codes. Stopped the truck, restarted and...

    New Head Unit (Maybe)

    I'm considering replacing the radio in my 2010 Expedition. (6 cd changer, no factory sub) While the stock actually sounds fairly decent, I mostly use a USB stick with music loaded on it and the album navigation is horrible. I know what it takes to do the steering wheel controls, etc. My main...
