    Quick TPMS question

    If I put wheels and tires from a 2018 expedition on my 2012 expedition, can the TPMS sensors be made to read properly, or are they a different frequency altogether? Thanks

    power folding mirror problem

    Hey all, this afternoon when I approached the car wash, I went to fold the power mirrors in. Didn't work properly. Pass side folded in, but not drivers side. Went on through the wash, and tried to figure out what was going on. Messed with it a bit and got the drivers side working fine. The...

    power steering fluid change

    Need to change the power steering fluid in my 2012. Simple as sucking out the old, replace with new, drive a while and repeat? Or is there a hose to disconnect and drain?

    intermittent/occasional vibration while accelerating

    Hey guys, 2012 El limited 4x4 So every once in a while we are getting an occasional vibration and or howling noise, from the front end, while accelerating. As soon as we let off it goes away. Is this more likely to be the IWE solenoid or the IWE itself? Haven't tried it in 4auto yet. Just...

    2nd row release strap malfunction

    2012 limited El 4x4 The strap that lets the third row occupants release the second row seat is present, but it's like it's pulled way out, and doesn't release the latch when you yank on it. Has anyone ever had that mechanism apart? Not just really obvious how the plastic covers come off. Pretty...

    looking at a 15 EL XLT. engine sounds?

    https://app.truvideo.com/w/exfBKx?jwsource=cl Toward the end of the video, the under hood shot, does that sound like a normal Ecoboost engine? What do you all think of the rest of the vehicle?

    rubber flap under bumper keeps coming loose

    As the title, that rubber flap under the front bumper keeps coming loose. It comes off the front side, the three plastic rivets. I've tried new rivets and it lasted for a couple days. What do you all think I should try? Self threading bolts and fender washers? It's a 2008.

    Intermittent No-Crank Condition

    Hey gang, I posted in another thread about this, thinking I might have it fixed, but looks like I still have an issue. So last night we were in town, filled up with gas, went to start, and had no crank. Messed with it a bit and she fired up like usual. Thought it was maybe a bad connection at...

    08 Expedition. Two questions.

    1. Where is the ambient air temperature sensor? Sometimes the temp display goes all the way down to -13 or whatever, with a corresponding failure of the AC to operate properly. Gonna try a new sensor. 2. Are there any holes under the AdvanceTrac/RSC badge on the lift gate?

    Day of the 5.4

    Hey guys, according to my calendar, today is 5.4 Just wanted to give a respectful nod to the revered (though sometimes hated) 5.4L Ford Triton V8 engine. I have two. An 06 F150 and an 08 Expedition. Both with over 150k on them. I certainly have no complaint with how they've held up.

    Racing engine in Park

    Hey guys, could use a little help with this one. On my 08 EB 4x4, the following scenario has happened a couple of times: Get home from a drive, or stop for any reason, put in park and the engine starts to rev. Slowly revs to 3K+ rpm. Shut off, restart, all seems normal. No CEL ever observed...

    Advantages of a 2012 over a 2008?

    OK gang, I have a 2008 EB standard length, 4x4, with 154k on the clock. A dealer local to me has a 2012 EL, Limited, 4x4, with 131k on it. He's asking $17,900. Assuming I could make it happen financially, if I were to upgrade to the newer rig, what all advantages would there be? I know that...

    How to release fuel filter line clips 08

    Have done a fair amount of research and haven't really found an answer. The clips are red in color, at least the one I could see was. Anybody have experience getting things apart without breakage? Is there any slack in the lines after the filter clamp is removed? Thanks in advance.

    Fuel Mileage in ye old toilet

    So the Fuel economy in my 08 EB 4x4 has recently took a major hit, like I'm talking over a mile per gallon less on the last couple of fill-ups. I know we have been doing more idling than normal, what with the recent cold snap and all, but still, this doesn't seem right... Is winter fuel really...

    Tire/ load rating question

    Good Day all, I am needing to replace the tires on my 08 EB standard length 4x4. I found a good deal on some new-take-off Michelin LTX tires with less than ten miles on them. Could probably get into a set for around $600 plus install, if I move quickly. Here's the thing: they are load range...

    Weird AC fan issue?

    So on my 08, the other evening we were in town, and all of a sudden the HVAC fan started acting up. It would go from low to high speed and anywhere in between at random. After a few more days of driving, I have observed the following traits. 1. It seems to only occur at startup and shortly...

    Can I remove the body cladding/lower trim?

    So as the title says. I have a 08 Expy, EB, standard length. It has the fairly common two-tone paint job, with the lower section being the plastic body cladding, painted a tan color. I would like the vehicle to be all of one color, as I think it would look better. So, can I just simply remove...

    stripped wheel stud - HELP!

    So I changed the rear shocks on my 08 4x4 on Saturday. I had the one side back together, wheel on and everything, when I realized I had assembled the shock wrong. So I started taking it back apart. One of the wheel studs stripped out on me! It actually stripped out in the hub behind the wheel! I...

    New member, just bought an 08 Expedition

    Hi all. Recently bought an 08 Expedition EB 4x4, with 114k. Really like it so far, but I do have a few questions: 1. I have read some about the transmission reflash. My rig definitely shifts funky both upshifting and downshifting from 1-2. Can someone point me to the correct TSB # ? 2...
