    Transmission Flush at AAMCO

    Tried to change mine today but two bolts are stripped, so it might be a few days now. From what I've read from the Ford Tech who posts some great how to videos on YouTube for our trucks, the only way to get the fluid out is a pan drop. There is some type of thermo sensitive valve that won't let...

    Heater assembly hose T connector

    I JUST did this and ordered the whole assembly (Motorcraft) from amazon for around forty bucks shipped (prime) and changed it with pretty much no tools except for the regular hose clamp on the front hose. I really don't see a point in trying to make something work when you can get the proper...

    Best brake pads/rotors for a 2009

    Just want to chime in that I currently have Centric rotors on mine that I installed a while ago and they still feel great. I ordered the pads at the same time from rockauto and I think they are Raybesdos. My friend who owns a shop told me that's all he puts on cars anymore because people never...

    Help cleaning extremely dirty rims

    Finest steel wool you can buy, usually called 1000 and some chrome polish and use the least amount of pressure possible. You'll be surprised how well it works, just take your time and be patient. I wouldn't advice on doing this all the time but you can get away with it to clean them up once and...

    Worth it to trade in for new?

    My wife an I love our 07 Limited. I keep really good care of it but its got 125,000 miles. There's nothing wrong with it, but I'm thinking I would like to have one from new so that I can plan on keeping it for years to come. Are there any good deals out there to try to work dealers for...

    2015 Expedition released

    I really like the design refresh, not so much on the ecoboost being the only engine. Call me old fashioned, but I like V8 noises coming from my truck. I would have to drive one I guess. I recently checked out the new Yukon Denali XL at the auto show and the interiors of those are way nicer than...

    New Tires

    I hate to say but I've been very disappointed with my Michelin's. I'm down to 4/32 in the rear after only 15,000 miles (7/32 up front). Yes, i should've rotated but I'm seriously way too busy that i really never got time. The only thing I can think it's that they don't like constant high speeds...

    How does the 4wd actuate?

    Actually I started searching around and IWE problem seems to be mine exactly. Probably a vacuum leak somewhere too. I have an appointment next week at the dealer because I bought an extended warranty. Here is a good link I found explaining how the system works. Everything You Wanted To Know...

    How does the 4wd actuate?

    I had something happen on the highway. Going about 70, I hear clicking noise start in the front end, like hubs or something. About 2 seconds a loud BANG that shook the truck very hard...like it was trying to shift into 4wd at 70 mph. What do you think the problem is? Also, it should be noted...

    Getting ready to purchase 2010 xlt el, any known issues?

    Ya, just run the ac controls through their paces, driver/passenger, temp changes, etc and all the electrical stuff, navigation if it has it. Being a mechanically oriented person, I didn't check these things and I wish I would have, just would have made the dealership responsibility thing a...

    Oil Change

    Motorcraft filters and whatever full synthetic 5w-20 (besides Pennzoil) is on sale. Read from people smarter than me that motorcraft filters are some of the best you can buy.

    Gotts Mod and flowmaster

    I just did the 11 F150 snorkel and new motorcraft filter. Can't really tell too much sound difference but it is running a little smoother, maybe a bit more pep. Of course the old filter I pulled out of there wasn't in the best shape so who knows. For six bucks it's worth it just to know that...

    blend door actuator or blend door?

    I could only see that one. I've heard there are others where you have to disassemble the whole dash. I figured I would try out the one that I could easily change and see what happens and it worked out. I'm pretty sure though that the main one behind the stereo that I changed out is the one that...

    blend door actuator or blend door?

    I bought mine at the dealer pretty cheap, 35-40 bucks. Took me under half hour to change it out, total time for everything involved; its right behind the stereo. There are write ups here with pics that helped me. Mine is a 07 as well, my passenger side wasn't working. Works good now!

    Creaky/popping front end noise? 07 EL

    Thank you. Maybe I'll try spraying the end links and see if there is a difference. I really don't feel like doing ball joints but I think I might have them checked out. I sometimes get an inconsistent slight vibration on the highway and maybe that's the culprit. I have nice Michelin's on there...

    Creaky/popping front end noise? 07 EL

    Is this normal? When I back into my driveway with the wheels turned, I notice a creaking sometimes popping sound from the front suspension. Truck rides and drives great, straight down the road. Just wondering if I have an issue starting with mine or if this is normal. This is my first Expy and...

    Passenger side not changing temp., which blend door?

    Where is this located please? My 2007 EL Limited with dual climate is not changing temperature on the passenger side and I don't feel like dealing with the dealer if I can change it myself and where can I buy it? I searched and saw the thread where people change the one by pulling the radio? Is...

    Want a good DVD double din headunit

    I am a little apprehensive too on the motorized part but it IS a double din, that's why I want it and only want a double din. A single din in a big opening filled in with an adapter just looks cheap and wrong to me. From what I saw on the pioneer site, the motorized part is to adjust the angles...

    Want a good DVD double din headunit

    I have an 07 Limited EL I just bought and the factory nav stereo is already crapping out. I don't really have a need for nav, my Samsung Galaxy S3 Google maps does me just fine when I need it. Here's my list - Retain all factory functions - Play DVD with the factory rear entertainment (while...

    New to me 07 EL Limited, few questions

    Hey guys, spent some time lurking on here and finally bought mine from a local dealer. Seems a lot of you are happy with these trucks. I've always wanted one and this is pretty clean Pearl White with Black interior, just turned 100k. Here are couple things I am wondering about. -Definately...
