Leaking fluid from front
Recently I noticed two very small puddles under the front end of my 2005 Expedition. There was one on each side almost directly under the tie rods where they enter the rack and pinion. My gut was to order a new rack and pinion, but a coworker advised me to investigate further. I'm glad I did...- Underdog66

Newer factory stereo w/Sync into 2nd generation Expy
Curious if anyone has researched and/or successfully installed a newer Ford Factory stereo with Sync into a 2nd generation Expedition. I know the simple fix for outdated stereos is to install aftermarket systems. I however like the Sync infotainment interface. Thanks for any input.- Underdog66

Paint for valve covers
Can anyone recommend a suitable spray paint (can) that would hold up on the valve covers on a 5.4 Triton? I see there is 'high heat' paint for temps up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm not sure the valve covers get that hot. The paint seems to be a pain to cure. The instructions talk about...- Underdog66

Transmission leak
About a month ago I noticed a very small spot on the garage floor under my Expedition. Upon further inspection the fluid was pink and appears to be transmission fluid. I have been keeping an eye on the transmission fluid level and it hasn't really moved. Its within limits. There is still a small...- Underdog66

The wanderer
I had a stiff steering issue when I first bought my 2005 Expy. I sprayed the knuckles on the steering shaft daily with P'Blaster until I moved smoothly. The issue I have now is that it 'wanders' while driving down the road. I took it to my local trusted mechanic who said I needed some front...- Underdog66

Hello from beautiful northern Michigan!
Hello! This is the second Ford Expedition I have owned. It is a 2005 Eddie Bauer with 253,000 miles. The engine was rebuilt by a Ford dealership 86,000 miles ago. I purchased the vehicle via Craigslist for $2500. It seems mechanically sound, but has typical Michigan rust which has completely...- Underdog66
