    Intermittent Front Engine Sound at 75mph

    So I have a strange intermittent sound that only recently occurred under specific conditions. 1. Around 70+mph 2. After driving at those highway speeds for at least 30 minutes. 3. Sound "sounds" like wind noise but its more like a metallic bearing sound on a pulley. Or maybe a rotating...

    Power running board is shot

    I just recently got my 2010 expedition ... talked to the previous owner (left docs in glove box) and he said the auto running boards died a slow death till he just put them up and left them up. After reading here I lowered them and cleaned them up kept working in the WD40 and finally they ruan...

    P2096 Code

    So was getting a P0150 code over and over and took it in and they performed the Ford recommended reprogramming of the PCM as there was some service advisory about this. The O2 Sensor (pre-cat) seemed to be running fine so led them to the PCM service. (TSB 13-3-5) That seemed to work but then...

    Normal sounds? 5.4 3V new to me.

    I've read a lot about the 5W30 Europe versus US makes sense to me I think I'll do it right away seeing who knows how long it's been since this had an oil change before I did it

    Normal sounds? 5.4 3V new to me.

    I think the ticking sound is stronger now that I've changed the oil. (used 5w-20, some say 5w-30 is way to go???) after I got it the a/c compressor clutch was shot so I replaced it first... then the dip stick was stuck and read that many people say the engine has to be hot ... still stuck but...

    Normal sounds? 5.4 3V new to me.

    So I just went out and recorded the cold engine idle and how it sounds ... this might make it easier for someone experienced to hear it instead of me trying to figure it out.

    Normal sounds? 5.4 3V new to me.

    What are normal 5.4 3V sounds? So 2010 Ford Expedition (doy that why posting in this forum) 187K miles and the oil definitely was not changed every 3 to 5k ... more like 10K ish from what I can tell. I've been researching this and seems lots of potential problems around phasors, timing chain...

    Steering wheel loose?

    OK I finally figured out the sound. The steering wheel has some vertical play in it. Sitting still I can move the steering wheel up and down (toward the roof toward the floor to be perfectly clear) it only move like a 1/16" and make the slight tick sound. it does not do it turning the wheel...

    Steering wheel loose?

    I remembered to test this sitting still and its firm no tick or click. I only notice the slight tick or click in the steering wheel every once in a while while driving and turning the wheel.

    Actually I was hoping to repair it somehow instead of replacing the whole long snaking line.

    Vacuum Line broke Help

    Thanks, So just because the hub is engaged does not really do anything other than more mechanical wear vs not being engaged? Its not like I'm going arouind with 3 wheel drive, it only goes to 4 wheel drive once the transfer case is engaged?

    Vacuum Line broke Help

    This 4wd hub vacuum line is broke right in the front of the vehicle. #2 pretty much right where the #2 label is. This feeds? vacuum to the passenger 4wd hub. Do the hubs engage WITH vacuum or WithOUT vacuum. With this line broke is my hub on the passenger side on all the time???? Anyone...
