    09 3v power loss "cured" with 5w40

    Well I found something curious. . . . We have been fighting some inconsistent surging and power loss issues. We are sitting at 220k miles and I thought it was so many other things. Backstory. Purchased at 160k miles, ran the recommended 20w for the first few oil changes. Did a Melling timing...

    09 Expedition EL Expansion valve replacement procidure?

    Hi all, The Father-in-law (ASE Mech) and I have done a bunch of troubleshooting and boiled down my AC issues to the expansion valve. He is going to look up to book time and procedure to replace the expansion valve on the front and rear, but I was wondering if anyone has done this and if there...

    I don't know what the hell is going on anymore. . . . I have a ton of parts that i have been installing on my 09 Expedition and so far the fitment is crap. The absolutely moronic lower radiator hoes with the ONLY not so quick disconnect fitting. The new Motorcraft hose of course will...

    09 Expy Fuel Filter removal. . . .

    So I found the filter, I got 2 of the 3 lines off. The last line is the one that goes to the engine. It is held on with an odd blue clip and none of my fuel line removal tools work. Any idea how to manipulate this clip to get it off? I'm working in the dirt and stock height, so that's making it...

    Just ordered a 5 Sar Tune. . .

    As the title states. They have what seems to be a good sale on a tune for the 05-14 Expedition, $270 for a programmer and 3 tunes. That's cheap enough I'm going to give it a shot. Everyone seems to be rather impressed with their 5.4 tunes from them so hopefully I didn't just throw money away...

    Hi all I'm in need of some help. I have no power to the trailer brake light specifically. I have running lights, just no brake lights or turn signal (same wire).

    Are bilsteins really worth it?

    So the Expy is in need of some new shocks and I'm at a bit of a loss. On occasion I tow a heavy trailer, and haul 8 people on vacation with luggage on top. When the truck is loaded up it gets a bit too floaty. I'm not sure if I have the load leveling but if I do, would bilsteins still be a...

    Finally did the timing chain on my truck!

    Rattle at start up and noise in general forced me to do the timing chain. The passenger side chain had no tension, but the seal was just fine which I found odd. It was leaking somewhere but not at the seal. Driver side was blown but held tension. There was a little damage to the back of the...

    09 expedition AC Warm at idle, cool while driving.

    Temps are starting to climb here and we hit 100 degrees last week. My first thought is a weak cooling fan but I'm not sure. I do not have any overheating issues or anything. When I start it I can sometimes hear the fan but not every time. When I turn the AC on I can hear the fan kick on a...

    Hi all, I have an 09 Expedition EL that my family borrowed. Well they broke the rear door handle on it somehow. . . Well I initially thought it was just the child safety switch that was toggled because they had small kids, so I switched it up and back down. . . Big mistake! I can no longer...
