    Well...this happened...

    Someone decided they needed to turn left out of a gas station without looking first. His Jeep Compass is toast. I'm wondering if insurance will total my expo though... 230k, but in pristine condition. Freaking drivers.

    Driving around in 4A do any harm?

    Hey y’all…2007 Limited 4x4. One of my front hubs is engaged…the other isn’t. My mechanic mentioned instead of replacing the hub, just keep it in 4A. I’ve seen this debated both ways…good and bad. However…I’ve noticed lately that in 4A…when accelerating…it sometimes feels ‘gravelly’, and...

    What’s this gonna cost

    Noticed my front axle sprung a leak. Is this a DIY or a ‘better left to experts’ and pay the money?

    Low trans fluid affect shifting?

    Hey all… My transmission (07 Limited) leaked a good amount of fluid when it was sitting for a few weeks (it doesn’t leak when I drive it regularly though?!). As such, I finally checked the fluid yesterday and it was only about a quarter inch on the dipstick. I’ve noticed it shifting kind of...

    Steering u-joint

    So I’ve been trying to figure out if it’s my front hubs being locked that are causing the heavy steering I’m experiencing at times. I had a mechanic friend check it out…turns out yes…I have a front hub actuator that’s bad. But apparently my steering u-joint is binding and that’s causing the...

    4x4 Question

    So...it was snowing in KC last week...so I put the Expy in 4WD high a few times when the roads were really slick. This thing is a beast in the snow! Tonite however, I noticed my steering feels heavy...as though the 4WD is engaged still...even when I have it in 2WD. Is it possible it's still in...

    2007 vs 2008 Windshield wipers

    I don’t know if this has been covered on here before…but yesterday I was buying blades for my 07 and I noticed they are not same size as 08 and up. This confused me since I’m not aware of any changes made to exterior between 07 and 08. I went ahead and bought the larger 22” for 08 (driver side...

    Gravel feel when accelerating

    Hey all…weird symptom I’m experiencing. When I’m accelerating hard, I get this gravel rough feeling coming thru the gas pedal…almost like it’s coming from front diff or maybe the axle trying to engage 4x4 or something. Under normal acceleration it feels normal and smooth as always. It shifts...

    Hey my Expy fam… I recently purchased a set of Michelin’s for my 07. (275/55R20). I’m gonna have them mounted and balanced, however I’m realizing I should prob replace my TPMS’s in each wheel. Discount tire has them for $40 a pop. Which prob ain’t bad, but is that the cheapest option out there...

    Power window motor replacement

    Just had my driver’s side power window go kaput. The motors aren’t that expensive...but on a scale of 1-10, how difficult are they to replace yourself? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Replacement Headlight Assemblies

    Hey y'all... I've searched thru all of the past forum threads...but didn't find a good answer. I've refinished the headlights on my 2007 twice now...but they're still oxidizing and fairly pitted. I have looked at aftermarket replacements: 1. Generic OEM replacements (amazon, ebay, etc) Are...

    What’s major differences between 2nd and 3rd gen?

    My 3rd gen Expy was sitting next to a 2nd Expy today at the shop. (They actually gave me keys to the wrong one when I picked it up). I noticed that stuff like the rear hatch, bumper covers, doors even...they look practically identical. If I recall though...i thought the 3rd gen rides on a new...

    Interior work

    When I purchased my 2007 Expy...I knew it would need some interior work. Today I took apart the center console, cleaned up years of spilled soda, clear coated the dull plastic wood trim, and then laid vinyl over the badly worn trim pieces. I think it looks MUCH better! 2007 Ford...

    Starter?
