    2001 Expedition 4.6L 2V PCV Valve Questions

    I have a 2001 Expedition 4.6L 2V N/A. I have been dealing with driveability problems (see my other posts) that are from a lean condition. I am just getting back to work on this problem and have been shooting the parts cannon on hoses on the manifold vacuum due to age. I just replaced the PCV...

    2001 Expy new problem

    My 2001 Expy 97K Miles has been sitting idle for quite a while, about 15 months with a run up every couple months. This week I decided to get it ready to sell so I went to start it and it seemed to be misfiring. I was not surprised because it has been raining and very damp. The thing is, it has...

    Front End Issue?

    Just these past weeks, whenever backing out of my long driveway onto the street I get a "bump" feeling while straightening out. When I back out, the rear of my car is normally steered to the right about 20 degrees or so , 5 O'clock position. I then go forward and steer to the left , about 90...

    RADIO SYNCH (one) Single Play vs Dual Play

    2013 XLT With basic radio/CD/XM My radio keeps reverting to single play and audio is playing from rear speakers only ans sounds muffled. If I go into menu and select dual play, the audio then plays fine in the front and rear. It just started doing this and seems to revert to single play . The op...

    EDIT: Code is P013C So today, one year and just over 2000 miles of ownership my new to me Expy with 119K miles suddenly flashed a Check Engine lamp while stopped at a light. I pulled over checked oil. Oil is fine, no overheating. It was a bit cold out maybe the 60's here in Florida. I turned...

    My new to me 2013 XLT is losing its luster. The front rims are turning brown from brake dust after just 2000 miles and 10 months of local driving. What product to clean these? I have used other product (foaming pink stuff to remove rust) that were terrible on my 2001 expy's rims.

    OEM Seat Cover removal and wash possible? Detailing 2013 XLT

    I have a 2013 with "stone" interior, cloth seats. The dealer did an awful job of detailing. I cleaned a spot from the rear of the second row and all kinds of dirt came up from the carpeted area on the back. The cloth seat covers look bad as well. I am thinking of removing the OEM covers and...

    SMART JUNCTION BOX (SJB) Programming??? Schematic???

    2013 XLT Expy. I have very terrible lighting on my instrument cluster. I have the shop manual for the wiring and apparently there is some logic in the SJB that provides "rules" for the cluster lighting. For example the variable control on the dashboard does nothing. The headlights must be on...

    2013 XLT Tow Hitch Bumper Cover?

    My 2013 XLT has a towing package and the receiver for the tow hitch is quite exposed in a large cutout in the bumper. Is there any sort of vanity cover for these to conceal this large opening? The spare tire is visible as well.

    2013 XLT Cable to rear view mirror exposed??

    My rear-view mirror has a thick cable that leaves it sloppily toward the headliner and I think there should be a plastic channel over it. Does anyone know if this is so,? Part number???

    2013 Washer Fluid Pump Replacement

    My 2013 windshield washer suddenly stopped working both front and rear. No indication of low fluid and also no sound of the motor. There does not seem to be a fuse independent of the motor controls. I am assuming the pump is bad and would be first place to troubleshoot. How do I remove the...

    2013 Smart Junction Box and Instrument Cluster Lighting

    My 2013 has an annoying attribute which seems to be "normal" per the owners manual. Unless the parking or head lights are switched on there is no illumination of the instrument cluster and the radio (basic) display is quite dim. This all seems to be opposite of my Generation 1 which would...

    Instrument Cluster Lamps too dim 2013 XLT

    A very annoying aspect of my new to me 2013 EXPY is the dim instrument cluster and radio display (basic radio). I have to turn the headlights on in order for the red needles on the gauges, Odo , fuel, oil, water, temp, battery etc to even show up. It seems counterintuitive that I must have the...

    Modified Vehicle? Insurance Question

    When I added my new to me 3rd generation Expedition to my insurance policy the question was raised if this was a "modified vehicle". It is not as it is a stock XLT. This does raise the question for me and perhaps many, what the threshold is for a vehicle being considered "modified" and what the...

    2013 Steering Wheel Chuffing, Scraping Noise

    It was pretty cold today for Florida and when I drove off a noise that has been there got worse. It is a chuffing or dragging and scraping noise when turning the steering wheel. It is like right behind the wheel at the column. My 2001 did that and I squirted silicone spray into the space...

    High Mount Third Brake Light Poor Quality

    Wow I thought Hyundai made terrible brake lamps. Ford has dropped the ball on these. The third light on my 2013 had a lamp out. I bought a couple bulbs to replace one or two . When I disassembled the fixture it was clear that each of the 5 watt bulbs had totally melted the reflector and...

    Spare tire orientation Valve up or down?

    So days after removing/wrestling/reinstalling my spare (2013 Expy) to clean it up and inspect it. I read the owners manual and it says to install it valve stem up. That sucker is heavy and the thought of cranking it down , pulling it out and flipping and cranking up again is not pleasant. I...

    Sync 4.6 Update Question

    So my new to me 2013 Expedition is a bit behind in SYNC version. What features do I miss or are improved if I upgrade? I was told a USB is required from the dealer and there is a charge. Can this be done by my more local non affiliated shop? I have a very basic trim sound system, no display...

    2013 Steering

    I have been driving a 2001 with new Michelin tires and new upper control arms/BJ and lower ball joints and it steers like a sports car. However, my new to me 2013 seems a bit stiff and like I am behind it a bit when driving. Making wider turns... Could it be the Hankook tires? I think they are...

    Jack and Tools What are these and what am I missing? 2013 Expy XLT

    Well I did it. Now own a second Expy. Just brought home a 2013 and in the Jack compartment there are lots of bits and pieces laying loosely about. The first are the triangular pieces of steel on the upper left with some sort of forked edge. These seem to not belong at all. Look like something...
