    Groaning noise in front.

    I posted about this before but I can’t find it. It’s like my account was wiped. Anyway I wanted to give an update. I have a very intermittent groaning sound coming from the front. It kinda sounds like a tire rub but it’s definitely not. I was finally able to take it to my mechanic and he...

    Rear A/C noise

    Good morning. My Expedition has developed a clunking sound in the rear when I turn on the rear A/C. I’m thinking it’s some kind of actuator or maybe a vent door sticking? Anybody have any ideas? Thanks a lot!

    Hi gang. I’m a big fan if daytime running lights. I have the upgraded instrument panel on my ‘08 and I’ve looked in every menu I could find to turn them on but I can’t find a way to activate them. I am beginning to think that my Expy doesn’t have them for some reason. Does anyone know if the...

    Black plastic trim restore

    OK! That’s it. I’m done looking on YouTube. I’ve tried several products recently that swear they will “restore” the black plastic trim on cars that inevitably fades to grey. Nothing I’ve tried works. Anybody on the forum have something, or know something that ACTUALLY works? Thanks!
