    Caution: engine will stall rolling backwards

    I totaled out my 2014 on my driveway. There was about 1/2" of snow and the driveway is steep. I was testing for traction so I stopped to see how slippery it was. I rolled backwards in drive a short distance and the engine quit. Of course no more power steering, or brakes and no engine power...

    Mechatronic Control Unit Used/Rebuilt advice/info needed

    To verify the miles on the used trans you're looking at, get the VIN from the seller and get a Carfax report. It will tell miles history and when the vehicle was taken out of service or salvaged. Used with low miles is your best way to go. Try car-part site also for a used trans.

    04 Expy air hub problem, please HELP

    It sounds like you may have just blown apart a connection somewhere. I'd blow LOW pressure into each line and have someone listen where the leak is.

    Broken spark plug; Lisle tool will not remove plug

    We ran into one that did this. We tried everything and a new tool like you. Ended with the head coming off. Its extremely rare for the bottom part of the plug to push too far down into the head to retrieve.

    2007 Expedition in the Netherlands - shudders and vibrations ... (help ?)

    Since you have another set of wheels and tires, I'd try driving it after changing them over. At least you can eliminate one thing if theres no change. Let us know what happens.

    2004 expy rear end overhaul

    Check your invoice from where it was fixed. See if the crush sleeve was replaced. It must be replaced if you change the pinion seal. If it wasnt, then the pre-load for the bearings would be too tight and will burn up the bearings or the nut could have been left too loose and that would also...

    Automatic transmission isn't

    It sounds like you still have sticky accum valves. Did you take all of the valves out of the accum body and clean? The indicator cable is just sticking not showing the correct position. It has no bearing on shift points. Count the clicks when you shift it PRND to make sure you're in drive and test.

    Automatic transmission isn't

    Thats about normal on the magnet. I'd do the valve fix and stick it together and try it.

    Automatic transmission isn't

    It really should be taken apart. Once you have the accumulator body off, you could take it to a trans shop and have them check for stuck valves and clean it and put the kit in. They could confirm if that is the problem. It isnt bad to do yourself though. Just have a clean area to work on it and...

    Automatic transmission isn't

    OK so you have the E4OD. Its a good chance you have stuck valves in the acumulator valve body. Thats the valve body section all the way in the front when you have the pan off you can see it. As long as you have the pan off changing fluid you should take that section off and apart to clean and...

    Automatic transmission isn't

    First, what trans do you have in it? I'm guessing the E4OD. Is the pan real long or is it more square?

    For better vision in rain.

    If you havent heard of it, Aquapel is the windshield treatment that last for 6 -9 months on average. No wipers needed at hiway speed. Many times better than Rain X that has to be reapplied every week. You can get it on ebay I see.

    Transmission Jerking Hard

    Most probable cause is a bad ignition coil. Its hard to pin down unless you have a scanner hooked up to it though.

    P0781 - 4r100 - delayed or no 2nd gear

    Its probably a simple problem that we've run into before. It sounds like the line regulator valve for the 2nd accumulator is sticking. We put in the Transgo E4-VL-LR3 steel valve to fix it. The accumulator valve body is the very front body and is easy to remove. Just take down the pan and filter...

    To all 5.4L guys. a warning from my mechanic

    A little extra info If you have a plug blow out on a 2 valve and it takes the threads with it never use a Helicoil or any steel type insert. The heat dissapation changes the plug heat range. We've had people come in with the tips melted off plugs with Helicoils installed. All other cylinders...

    1999 Ford Expedition 5.4L Engine Trans Install Prob

    Your torque converter isnt all the way in the trans. Turn the converter by hand pushing in with slight pressure until it drops in a little further. You may want to hold up on the pilot hub slightly too. It should about an inch from the bellhousing front surface to the converter stud pads. Hope...

    Mpg?

    I've had 5 Expeditions over the years. Just a K&N filter was the only thing changed. I've always gotten 11.8 - 12 mpg city hiway combined. On highway I can pull around 15 if not pushing it.
