    Torque Converter Shudder at 35-45mph

    I feel like I got lucky on this issue... I replaced all of the coil packs, had the cash and didn't want to troubleshoot at the time, and the shudder was gone.

    Flex Fuel

    I won't argue with you on the performance... The info I posted above is straight from the fueleconomy.gov website. If you read down to the pros and cons they say exactly what you say about performance, they just gloss over that the lower energy only correlates to lower gas mileage.

    Rear Diff Whine

    167K miles and no leaks. Had a leak a little over a year ago and had the pinion seal replaced. It's run fine up until now. The whine starts around 30mph and increases steadily to about 50mph and remains constant.

    Rear Diff Whine

    While accelerating it sounds like my rear diff is whining and the noise increases as I accelerate. Anyone had any experience with this? Just started yesterday and I really started to notice it today. From what I've read it sounds like it could be the rear pinion bearings. Thoughts?

    2 Issues & A Question (Vent Motors, Seat Memory & Entertainment System)

    I'll reply to myself since it's been a while... Seat memory issue was fixed by disconnecting the battery. Entertainment system isn't an issue anymore since the kids really don't care and use the tablet with their bluetooth headphones. I figured out the vent issues, it's the blend motor...

    2 Issues & A Question (Vent Motors, Seat Memory & Entertainment System)

    Vent Motor Issue - When I adjust the fan or the temp the motors in the vents are struggling. Anyone replaced them? How many of them are there? Seems like I hear at least 2 different ones. Seat Memory Issue - Had to take the drivers seat out because it would only go so far back after...

    Inconsistent studdering

    I had a similar issue and swapped all of my coil packs out. Cost me $200 to get them from Autozone and about 30 minutes to swap them all out, only one of them gave me trouble getting it in. My studder was only between 40-50mph, felt like the transmission was searching for a gear. Only had the...

    Vibration Turning Right @ 20+mph

    I swapped out for the Power Stop K4683 upgrade kit. I have been doing a little towing and wanted to put a better rotor and pad on it. Haven't been disappointed at all. Just gotta make sure you follow the break in procedures to the letter.

    Weak air conditioning

    I've noticed my A/C varies temp when sitting vs accelerating/driving. It's annoying, but I'm in the PNW and the heat isn't unbearable for me to chase down the issue. I'll give the rear A/C trick a try and see if that changes anything. Have a 2007 Expy...

    Vibration Turning Right @ 20+mph

    I forgot to reply to this... A year late never hurt, I guess. It was the driver's side hub that was bad. I changed both sides and installed upgraded rotors and pads. 150K and she's running strong.

    Vibration Turning Right @ 20+mph

    ABS Light isn't on... I've ordered the hub assembly with the sensor. I'll post if it fixes it.

    Vibration Turning Right @ 20+mph

    So, I have a '07 4x4 Expy EB. Has 133K on it and runs well. Have an issue that came up a few weeks ago. When I turn right at 20+mph there is a vibration in the floor, gas pedal and steering wheel. I can feel it changing lanes on the road and going around right hand curves. Seems like it...
