    Losing transmission fluid.

    I got them all loose. 3/4 drive breaker bar. I also hit the other two wheels. Sold it today to a buddy of mine. Yes all the issues were disclosed to him. We’ve been friends for years. He just wanted something cheap that needed minimal work done to it. bought it two years ago for $2000 sold...

    Losing transmission fluid.

    Anyone have any idea what the other line is on this? It’s a front right brake hose on a 4x4. The metal connector is the main brake line to the caliper. What’s the other for? managed to get two of the nuts off. Went by a tire shop their air impact wouldn’t even budge the other 4 and it was a...

    Losing transmission fluid.

    Air impact wouldn’t budge them. checked the others a few minutes ago. Right rear my Milwaukee took them off just fine. the driver side is just like the front passenger side. They won’t budge.

    Losing transmission fluid.

    My Milwaukee will do the job under normal circumstances. it took the one off at the junk yard just fine. These are basically welded to the studs due to the heat from the brake locking up.

    Losing transmission fluid.

    I suppose it could be dangerous but since I don’t have a lift or the money to take it to a shop I don’t have much of a choice. after doing this it appears that the fluid is coming out of the vent tube. It’s possible that it has too much fluid in it. Originally the leak was on the right side...

    Losing transmission fluid.

    Ok thank you. I’m going to get it up on ramps in the front and Jack stands in the rear and put it in drive see if I can pin point the leak. I’ve already rinsed under it a few days ago so it should be easier to spot. I did notice the cooler lines are held together with a black clip to keep them...

    I guess what I really need to know is if their is a week hole on top anywhere.

    Losing transmission fluid.

    2004 4.6L 4x4 obviously I have a leak. At first it appeared to be coming from the dip stick area however after replacing it it’s still leaking. Possibly a pinhole leak in the a line that’s spraying? Problem is I can’t locate it without running. It doesn’t leak while just sitting...

    Key fob replacement.

    I saw that one also. I may consider it. I do not have two keys so I’ll have to have one programmed for starting purposes. I also saw where some are taking a working key and using a zip tie to mount it under the cover by the ignition. Then a non chipped key will start the car. I can do that as...

    Key fob replacement.

    04 model has the crap key fobs and the tab where you mount it to a key ring always cracks and breaks. looking for a different replacement that works. I’ve seen come fobs on eBay that look like the newer Ford fobs we have on the 2016 explorer. That should work but not sure now reliable those...

    Wheels and tires

    Let’s see some STOCK HEIGHT or a front leveling kit rides with aftermarket wheels. I’m looking at maybe getting these in 20” (possibly 18”) Please only stock or front leveling kits only. I’m not going to lift mine and doubt I’ll level the front but I may. Too much rust under it from the north...

    Restoring the finish on faded plastic trim

    for the faded trim get some SEM trim paint. Two cans will be enough. Tape off all the areas you don’t want painted. At least 6 inches above the trim. I just done mine two weeks ago along with my grill. Less is more take your time and it drys fast so you can do it outside bs in a garage

    Headlight bulb replacement.

    I’ll take a look at those. How long have you had them? When I put LED’s in wife’s Cadillac one burned out in less than a year. (Company replaced it under warranty without issue)

    Headlight bulb replacement.

    A while back I saw a thread about upgrading to LED lights. I can’t seem to find the post so. I have a 04 XLT what’s everyone running for led headlights? Pros and cons to yours? I just ordered new Headlight housings and fog lights and would like to get some brighter light as well. I think...

    Engine temp low?

    Yeah I’m betting it’s partially stuck open because it is blowing a little warm. Just didn’t know if this was a common problem with the 4.6 motor. My old Durango had issues in the summer running warm due to the shitty fan setup dodge used. I could have added electric fans but wound up trading...

    Engine temp low?

    We just bought our 04 expedition (4.6L) 6 months or so ago. Today’s the first Cold day I’ve driven it. Usually the temp gauge is a little higher than this? The picture was taken after 15 or so minutes warming up to defrost the windows and a 15 mile drive to work. I haven’t checked to...

    Need some rear brake line assistance.

    I wound up skipping the DYI repair and let my buddy do it that owns a shop. It's been 90 plus degrees still and I really did not want to tackle it in the heat. He charged me $150 to run a new line and blead out the whole system. Well worth it considering I had AAA tow it to his shop (free) at...

    Need some rear brake line assistance.

    I saw this in another post. I am considering this route. Just need to find out if it's flexible enough to work with without a tube bender. https://www.autozone.com/brakes-and-traction-control/brake-line/brakelines-brake-line-pax-372/198105_0_0?checkfit=true

    Need some rear brake line assistance.

    OK so my rear brake line is split. (northern use) I have a 2004 XLT NON traction control because I have one line from the ABS module to the distribution block in the rear that is of course assembled in three separate sections to make one. My cousin works at ford (not a dealer actually for...

    Switch by radio.

    No. No extra lights or anything. I figured it was aftermarket. Just did not know if there was a mod that many do to require it. Figured if there was it would be a good place to start.

    Switch by radio.

    Amp for what? The stereo is factory. No factory sub.

    Switch by radio.

    Does anyone have this round on/off switch by their radio. I believe it’s not factory but if it is what the heck does it turn on and off? When I flip it to on nothing changes.

    3/2 Lift and more

    Did you have to replace the shocks? I’m looking at getting this setup but seems it may be cheaper the route you took. It’s a 3/2 kit. https://realtruck.com/p/readylift-3-sst-lift-kits/v/ford/expedition/2004/ Pic of mine as it sits now.

    DVD

    I have a 04 XLT with a Rosne overhead DVD player that says car play 7.0 on the screen when you turn it on. Just discovered that the disc will not read after trying 4 different ones I turned it off and quit trying. Can anyone tell me if this is a factory installed unit or aftermarket? Any...

    Where to start with rotten rockers

    I'll try to get some soon. I am about two hours from Oneida straight down I 75. My small time guy I normally use for work has had two strokes and a heart attack so he doesn't do big jobs like this anymore. I can live with it but would rather get them repaired becase we have two foster girls...
