    FRUSTRATING ISSUE WITH NEW SACHS STRUT & MOUNT

    I purchased two SACHS 316-534 front struts for my '07 EL. I also purchased two SACHS upper mounts PART # 803075 ALT # JSB4930S (Private Label package/closeout, was TRW's). Here is the issue. The strut rod that goes into the mount (threaded part) is NOT snug. It has clearance of perhaps 1/8 of an...

    FUEL PUMP: MotorCraft? Delphi?

    So, I replaced the fuel pump assembly at 161,000 miles back in 2018. Installed a Carter complete assembly. It's been great, now starting to be a bit noisy some 55,000 miles later. My concern is that it's not going to last much longer & I live in the mountains now so getting stranded means no...

    R134A capacity question

    Just competed timing job on my '07 EL. While everything was apart I replaced both AC lines from compressor. Also replaced the desiccant which is inside the condenser. The original lines had been leaking about two years. From everything I could see the system was clean inside. No trash or black...

    Melling 340HV/360HV uncertainty

    So I purchased the 360HV first. This was based on FordTechMakuloco's recommendation on the youtube. When I purchased off Amazon it was indicated that it did NOT fit my vehicle the 2007 Expy EL with 5.4 3 valve Triton. The main difference being (best I can ascertain through several hours of...

    Replace roller rockers?

    Time to replace timing components in my '07. How many here have replaced the roller rockers at the same time, even if they appeared to be OK? My expy is bumping 189,000 and I plan to keep her right on through until one of us gives up the ghost hopefully not at the same time. I can buy all 24...

    5W-30 instead of 5W-20

    Did a search, no results. Last oil change I used 5W-30 (Mobile1 FS) instead of the 5W-20 in my 2007 expy that I have used since day one per Ford's spec. Expy now has nearly 188,000 miles on it. I changed after researching the issue & figured with the higher mileage it wouldn't hurt & may offer...

    INFURIATING bearing/tire?? issue

    I really hope somebody can help me with this issue. Longish story, I'll try to be as brief as possible. Last fall the left front wheel bearing began to make noise & the ABS & RCS alert lights began to come on/off. I bought a MOOG hub assembly from Rock Auto & installed it a couple months later...

    Cam Phaser (vvt sprocket) Question

    With nearly 150,000 0n my 2007 Expy the VVT SPROCKETS (cam phasers?) have begun to seriously worry me. They've made the notorious tick-clicky noise at idle between 900 - 1200 rpm for several years now, never loud enough that it captured my attention enough to cause concern. A couple weeks ago...

    Why NOT Copper?

    When installing new spark plugs why can't one use copper anti-seize on the threads & part of the plug that protrudes into the cylinder head? I see that Nickle Anti-Seize is what everyone is using. I was browsing the copper & it recommends to use on spark plug threads right on the bottle...

    The time is upon me...

    ...to replace the spark plugs in my '07 Expy :hidesbehindsofa: With just over 103,000 miles I anticipate there will be a fair amount of carbon build-up in the combustion chambers. To prepare I have been adding cleaning/de-carbonizing products at every fill-up for the past month. I have used...

    Mechatronic Control Unit Used/Rebuilt advice/info needed

    My 2007 Expedition EL just turned 100,000 miles. The transmission's internal Mechatronic Control Unit which is integral with the valve body has failed. It's not sending or receiving any information. Prior to failing as I was just driving along, the only sign there may have been an issue was an...
