Idiot Light.....? Update 15 Apr 2024
So the Beast was in the shop last week for some work. For tie rods, control arms, complete brake job (front and rear) and while there an oil change. No issue for a few days then it started doing it again today. While in the shop they pulled the codes. The only code it's throwing is the ongoing...- USAF Sarge

Idiot Light.....? Update 15 Apr 2024
2006 Ford Expedition Ltd.... About a week ago when my wife was pulling into the neighborhood the Low Oil Pressure Light came on and the Oil Pressure Gauge bottomed out a few times and then everything went normal. Let the Beast sit for a while, checked the oil level and all was good. Checked...- USAF Sarge

Interior Color Codes
Have a 2006 Ford Expedition Limited. According to the VIN breakdown/explanation my interior color code is H, Medium Parchment. According to the label on the door jamb my interior color code is 2H. What does the 2 stand for? Or do I not need to worry about it, and making it harder than it is? I...- USAF Sarge

Driver front caliper locking up.
Had the same issue on a vehicle, the rubber brake line was deteriorating inside. In my case the brakes would work normal in the am, then one would drag, then loosen up when parked a while. Dissected the hose after testing and replacing it. Tested it out of curiosity by cutting the connectors...- USAF Sarge

AC Issue
CINC Household took it in and had the repairs done. There are somethings we have no issues with doing repairs on, and there are others we leave to the pros. Example we have to change out the fuel pump on ours son's Malibu. Easy job, but a pain in the rear-end.- USAF Sarge

AC Issue
Thank you for the detailed and concise answer and explanation. I'll see about getting my aging backside in the engine compartment and underneath it and see what I can find. I'll have my go to shop check the pressure, most of the guys there went to school with my kids, and take care of me. Well...- USAF Sarge

AC Issue
2006 Ford Expedition Limited, AC has been working like a champ with no issues. Today my wife is running errands, and hears a hissing sound. Turns the radio down, hissing still there. Turns the AC off and the noise goes away. Turns it back on and hissing returns and it's blowing hot. She says it...- USAF Sarge

Ugly Plugs....
I wish your son luck in his future Air Force journey. What AFSC is he shooting for? As for my service thank you, it was an honor and privilege to serve this country and I would do it all over again without hesitation. I agree it is sad when a shop stoops to this level of dishonesty. I'm...- USAF Sarge

Ugly Plugs....
It's sad that there are some mechanics or shops that do that, and if not caught early It's hard to prove they did. The more they get away with it, the more they do it. One day someone might lose their life because of BS like this. Our current mechanics went to school with our kids. They...- USAF Sarge

Wish I still had the paperwork from the previous owner. If I did, I would know the name of the shop and would definitely ask them. I looked through it, made notes of when and what was serviced and shredded it.- USAF Sarge

Ugly Plugs....
I tell you what, with those ugly plugs changed out, the Beast runs like a scalded ape now. I swear CINC Household is going to get a speeding ticket if she isn't careful. Still need to deal with some little projects on it, but nothing that keeps it from running. Awesome to be mobile again that...- USAF Sarge

Ugly Plugs....
Mechanic that did the work said the same thing, and was prepared for that to happen and was surprised none did. So he was happy about it, but was amused by the terminal stud breaking off on two of the plugs. Edited to add: The mechanic told my wife he went with a three step removal. Pre-soaked...- USAF Sarge

We picked up our 2006 Expedition Ltd after both our Jeeps were totaled by the insurance company after Hurricane Michael kicked our backside. In the glovebox of the Expo was a invoice for work done at a shop local to where we picked it up. The previous owner had it in for maintenance and one of...- USAF Sarge

Gas Cap Differences?
Have a 2006 Expo (The Beast), we're getting a check engine light with the P0456 code "Evaporative emission control system leak (small)." So we figured we'd change out the gas cap first, then work from there. I have found 4 different Motorcraft non-locking, tethered gas caps on partsgeek. Is...- USAF Sarge

Funny one for yall on this......The picture of the broken window clip, well I had to dig through the trash can to find them.

Window Issue
Thank you, got the regulator changed out, was surprised how easy and straight forward it was. Found out the one installed was a Dorman made one. Didn't break anything, and that is saying a lot for an Retired Air Force troop. The only problem we ran into besides my hands being too big to get...- USAF Sarge

Window Issue
2006 Ford Expedition Limited, last week went to put the front passenger side window down and it made a squealing sound. So I stopped and ran it back up the inch or so that it came down. Fast forward to today and the window just slid (Fell down) as I was driving. Took it apart after we got home...- USAF Sarge
