    Rear driver cv shaft and seal

    It's pretty common to have to beat the bejezus out of those seals to remove them. I typically use a flat screwdriver under the lip of the seal, pounding on it until the seal changes from an "O" to a "C". Then a pair of pliers will pull it out. Insertion of the new seal is a much more delicate...

    ALLA LED headlights issue

    My ALLAs (headlights, DRLs, etc, on various cars) all last about 2 to 4 years. At their price point, I just assume that 2 years is all they are good for. I did get Morimotos on my Expy last year, and they are still going.

    07 CHT sensor wires cut...

    This job really isn't that bad. Heck, I did the CHT on my '07 in the parking lot of Circus Circus Casino this past July when my CHT crapped out while I was on a family road trip. I removed the air intake tubing, the alternator, the fuel rail, and the intake manifold. Turns out that the last...

    Jack and Tools What are these and what am I missing? 2013 Expy XLT

    I found this video, which has the some of the parts you show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXfY8_YSlWA

    Vehicle “Shivers”/Shudders” and RPMs pulse

    Shudder plus RPM rise sounds like a torque converter lockup issue.

    4 wheel drive not disengaging

    The front system is fairly easy to troubleshoot as it is purely a vacuum-based system (with the exception of the solenoid valve). You will need a vacuum pump (like a My-T-Vac) with a gauge. I don't have the schematic in front of me, but there are only a few things to check: 1. Find the vacuum...

    Strange noise

    This was my first thought, too.

    2013 Expedition EL Misfires

    You've changed the coil to another cylinder, so that's ruled out. You also had more issues during a car wash, which seems like an electrical issue to me. Let's look at the other items that might be causing the issue: 1. Plugs. Try moving the plugs from cyl 4 to another location. Yes, it's a...

    Melling M360HV Clearance issue?

    I don't recall having any clearance issues when I installed my 360HV 2 years ago, but I do recall that the oil pump was a bit of a tough nut to get full flat against the face of the block. I had to readjust the gears several times before I could get it close enough and then rotate the pump for...

    Aftermarket tie rod ends

    I have used the Mevotech suspension stuff for the past few years and I've been happy with them. I get the TTX heavy duty line of Mevotech. RockAuto has been my supplier for these.

    2011 Lack of power and acceleration

    I'll throw my 2c in as well. If the intake manifold runner control fails to open the butterfly valves above 2500RPM, then the engine will feel like a turd above 2500RPM. Mine failed (after I played with it by hand, which is a no-no). No CEL was set, but it did set a code that I could read with...

    P0021 and cant fix it. Please help

    Sounds like a leaking chain tensioner to me.

    No pedal after start up, pedal if vacuum hose off and plugged from the brake booster

    If you connect a vacuum pump (like the Mi T Vac brake bleeder) to the brake booster, apply a vacuum, and then try to apply the brakes (with the engine running), how does the pedal feel? If the pedal feels good, then your vacuum booster is good but your vacuum source is poor. Since you are able...

    Fan Clutch issue

    How is your AC performing? I had weak AC performance, especially at low vehicle speeds and while idling. I also didn’t see the fan spinning up when the AC pressures went high like your pressure does. I replaced the clutch with a new one (non Motorcraft) but that didn’t fix the issue. I ended up...

    Roller Follower of Manifold leak?

    I replaced the manifolds on my '07 with a set of Gibson short headers and Remflex gaskets. The ticking at load disappeared. My passenger manifold had a long crack that was difficult to see without removing it. In hindsight, I should have done this job while I was doing my timing chains, but...

    2009 Acceleration Issues

    Have you checked for any codes? My ‘07 was super sluggish above 2700rpm and ForScan showed that I had an error with the intake manifold runner control motor. I replaced it and I’m back to full power. This code won’t set a CEL, so you will need a scanner to check for it.

    engine fan RPM drops to nearly zero

    I've been trying to diagnose and fix poorly performing AC while at idle and stationary. Thinking that there should be an audible difference in the viscous-clutch fan with the AC on or off, and not hearing one (even though ForScan shows an increase in fan RPM and command percentage), I decided to...

    Poor quality on Ford Reman engine

    I wasn’t aware of that. I thought that they came fully assembled. Thanks for the correction. When I did my timing job 2 years ago, I noticed the old style tensioners. So even back in 2013, roughly 6 years after my 2007 was made) they were still using the crappy tensioners. But otherwise this...

    Poor quality on Ford Reman engine

    After 12 days into our 17-day vacation road trip, my ‘07 decided to cause problems as we neared Yosemite. The odometer had rolled over to 300k a few miles ago. The temperature gauge dropped to zero, I got a low temperature warning, the AC turned off, and my transmission shifting went nuts...

    Transmission Fluid change

    I thought I had a gasket/pan leak at the rear of my trans for the longest time. I ended up stripping the bolts on the back of the pan due to over-tightening them. I've tried multiple gaskets, too. Nothing worked. It turned out that the bulkhead connector (where the wiring harness passes through...

    2008, AC condenser cooling fan not working

    I installed 2 electric fans on my '07 on the front of the condenser. They are wired to a pair of relays (one for each fan). The relays are triggered by the AC compressor clutch wire. I used to work in northwest Mexico and I would cross the border daily, often waiting in the border line for...

    Lost my diff.....

    I've gotten a few items from LKQ and they are generally easy to work with. I bought a used ABS pump/module from them for my '07 Expy several years ago. It failed within a few weeks and LKQ replaced it with another one for free. Minimal hassle.

    Oil Filter: Is there a larger one that fits?

    On my old 2001 I used a remote oil filter kit. This kit had the option for single or double filter cans (I chose the double). They used a larger filter unit. Since they were remote-mounted (I had mine bolted to the front bumper frame), you could use pretty much any filter that would fit.
