Heck of a deal
Could be fuel pump (easy) or timing chains (hard), crank sensor (easy), or underwatwr in hurricane (hard). Get a code scanner and get the codes first.- Hugh Janus

My guess is that it is time for a recharge. If you don't have guages, or can't borrow them, take it to a shop.- Hugh Janus

Engine Ticking
Right-hand cam phaser ticking is very normal - it DOES NOT MEAN YOUR MOTOR IS ABOUT TO GRENADE. I would guess 1 in 3 3v 5.4s is ticking away away with long over 200K miles on them. However, timing chain rattle is a much different issue and you should troubleshoot enough to know whether it is...- Hugh Janus

Engine Ticking
I'm missing something - why do you think you need to do the lock out? Is there some sort of urgency? Do you know of cases of motors self-destructing because of the "tick"? I thought I was following this thread but I must've missed something.- Hugh Janus

Engine Ticking
Keep an eye on those cam phasers - they'll likely wear out in the next 200,000 miles. Seriously, ticking phasers is a design defect that is "normal" - so don't worry about it. However, pay attention to the "rattle" noise and if it gets to the point where it sounds like a diesel when you...- Hugh Janus

No Limited Slip Rear End?
Unless you do something with the clutch pack, a ford LSD is moderately worthless. A Trutrac or selectable locker is your best option.- Hugh Janus

06 Expedition Oil
5w30 Chevron - about the cheapest where I live. Motocraft oil filter from Walmart - the best filter IMO. Change every 5k max. Check the oil weekly. More people kill 5.4s from running out of oil than any other reason.- Hugh Janus

P0430 code. Bank 2 inefficient catalyst
Odds are that the sensor is fine but the cat is plugged. Standard OBDII scanners will show if the post cat sensor is moving or flat lined.- Hugh Janus

Which OBD-II adapter works for 2003 Expedition
Forscan is good, but there is a big difference between the laptop and mobile version. The mobile version has less features.- Hugh Janus

axel nut
Can't answer the nut question off the top of my head. But put the front up on jack stands, get a 4' pry bar and see if there is movement in the ball joints.- Hugh Janus

Question about oil filters
I've seen those before - the lettering was in Spanish. There's no way that small surface area is going to hold up -I'll bet those filters blow out the paper element. One of the reasons I tell my kids to never use Jiffy Lube, etc. The FL 820S Motorcraft is top quality and cheap.- Hugh Janus

Yes, your cam phasers will go bad in about 300,000 miles. Should plan for it ;)- Hugh Janus

2003 XLT- Truck died, P0320 and battery light
Charged battery should be 12.6 - 13.2 v. Running voltage should be 14+v. Which is it? There's a reason why I said to charge it.- Hugh Janus

2003 XLT- Truck died, P0320 and battery light
Charge battery - then see if it runs. Hard to isolate between battery and alternator on non-running vehicle. Running voltage across battery terminals should be around 14v with healthy alternator.- Hugh Janus
