    Metallic ringing noise when moving

    My 08 4x4 expedition has developed an odd sound, almost like a brake rotor has a stone jammed in the bracket. Nothing is touching the rotors or unusual around it. Not related to engine rpm, no change 2wd or 4x4, directly related to speed. It's existed with almost no change for several hundred...

    Rubber floor patching

    You'd think I'd have found a product by now, given the number of commercial vehicles with rubber flooring.... does anyone know of a place that sells chunks of oem quality rubber floor material, that I can glue down? I'm really trying to get a large patch, about the size of a rubber floor mat...

    Roof rack parts

    My expy didn't come with cross bars on the roof rack. I'm trying to find what size/style of nut goes in the track, does anyone have one they can measure for me, or know of an alternative? I'm hoping to find something like the t-slot nuts for extruded aluminum.

    Random part from near steering column?

    I just had something land on my foot from near the steering column. It fell out as I was backing out of a parking space, so it may have something to do with the shifter. I'm guessing it's part of an interlock mechanism or something. I've always been able to shift from park without hitting the...

    Warning chime failure

    Ok, I've tried searching a few dozen ways now. The speaker that makes my door chime, turn signal click, etc has apparently failed. I'm trying to find information on where it is, and maybe Ford's name for the silly thing, without completely disemboweling by dash. I found tons on how to disable...

    My dad's interested in upgrading from his 04 expy to an 09+ EL. Does anyone know if a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit with all the rear seats folded down?

    Aftermarket backup camera

    I installed an Android head unit in my 08 XLT, and I'd like to add a backip camera. What cameras have other people used? I tried a cheap plate-mount model, but the license plate lamps lit up any dirt on the lens. I'd prefer a centerline mounting, to make hooking up trailers easier, but it...

    Axle ratio and mpg

    I have a 4wd 08 with 3.73 gears that will likely be getting a used rear diff swapped in, due to severe ring & pinion slop. I don't object to swapping the front diff, or getting a new tune from 5star. Is mpg improved much going to 3.55 or 3.31 gears?

    6r75 dipstick

    I tried checking the fluid level in my 08 expy's trans. Dipstick was so friable is broke when dropped a foot to concrete. I'll be ordering a new stick & cap shortly. For those that may want to try making a engine bay dipstick, here's a few numbers. From bottom of flange to lower edge of hash...

    08 Front brakes under pressure

    I just picked up an 08 that was used as a police vehicle. I assumed the brakes needed rust removal, but everything is in good shape. It seems to want to keep the front brakes pressurized. I've not checked the driver's side yet, bit passenger side would only release if I cracked the bleeder...
