    Looking to buy '19 Platinumn

    You know, Mullinax Ford is where I just bought the 19 platinum with 144,000 miles on it. The only problem that I could initially see was there was a power issue when we did the test. Apparently it was a turbo problem and they replaced that before we bought it. I had them do some checking, and...

    Miles comparison

    I was wondering if anyone is willing to share how many miles they have and what major issues they’ve had? Anyone over 100k or even 200k?

    Trans problem

    Good day all, I’m looking at picking up a 2019 platinum with 145,000 miles. It’s at a Ford dealership I actually like and have worked with for a few years. During the test drive, it was hesitating on shifting and getting up to speed, although the engine in RPMs felt fine. Then it threw a...

    Taking bets - lets see who wins armchair diagnosis!

    I had a similar issue in the past. On a different engine, the 5.4. Ford could not figure out what was going on, I did a whole Lotta research. I’ve replaced the VCT solenoids and was told phasers and rest look good. But I actually poured some cleaner into the oil, ran it for a good while, then...

    Looking to buy '19 Platinumn

    I found a 2019 Platinum 4x4, 144k miles for $27k. I'm considering getting it. Going through the carfax, it seems it had it's transmission replaced or worked on at 102k miles. It also had it's cat converter replaced at 120k miles. It's the weekend, but I'm planning on talking to the Ford...

    Radio upgrade options?

    Hi! I’ve a 2009 Eddie Bauer with 6 disc changer, sync included. Rear radio controls too. I want to change it to navigation and keep the built in microphone and steering wheel controls if possible. Is there a decent aftermarket that will work or a ford upgrade option?

    2009 fix or sell?

    Hello everyone! I am in love with the expeditions. My family has had them since they basically came out. Currently I’ve inherited a 2009 Eddie Bauer 165k miles that has a couple of different issues, and I’ve been told multiple things by different mechanics. I’m at the point where I’m trying to...

    Camshaft phasers

    Paul, I just had something similar and the alternator testing like you did, was inconclusive. However, after replacing the alternator I haven't had any problems in a couple of weeks now. Fingers crossed still. Apparently, the alternator was just on it's start of going out and causing a slight...

    ‘09 tire difference

    I have an 09 Eddie Bauer EL. From what I can see online I’m supposed to have 255/55/18 tires. Currently I have 275/65/18 on all 4 wheels. I need to replace the front 2 (back 2 seem to be replaced before I acquired the vehicle). So my question is, should I stick to what is currently on it...

    09 5.4 Camshaft code error

    Randomly, once every few drives, while I am idling and idles rough. If I give it a little bit of gas, the problem goes away. This has been ongoing for sometime. It keeps throwing two camshaft error codes. I’ve had it checked over by two shops, and they tell me they can’t find anything wrong...

    09 Camshaft Sensor Error

    I did a flush in the engine, coupled with new sensors. The problem comes up less frequently. Only a P0022 and P0346 codes now. I'm checking some other things.

    09 Camshaft Sensor Error

    Thanks. Ended up replacing both sensors and it seems to have worked fine for much longer than it did... but I'm getting a P0346, Camshaft Sensor Bank 2 error again. Nothing else generated this time.

    09 Transmission Shifting Problems

    My SUV's in Drive, and I'm at a red light. It turns green. When I accelerate it feels as if 1st gear isn't fully engaged and does this until I get up to speed and then shifts to second gear. Then it's fine. Downshifting to first gear is fine. For those are are familiar with a manual, it feels as...

    Brake noise

    I had the ABS Control Module replaced. Dealership isn't helping much. I can't find any real reference so, here goes. When my foot comes off the brakes there's about a 1 second delay then I hear a brief grinding noise that sounds like it's under the hood. Also, when pushing the brake pedal...

    09 ABS Control Module

    So it's turning out that I can't find a shop willing to install a part that they don't supply themselves. Ford's the only one that can supply the part. and so far.... Ford's cheaper for part and labor than the others. I'm looking at about $1500. Although do be careful - while shopping around I...

    2013 Replacment Headlight Recommendation

    It's 6000k where you have 90% white and 10% blue. More than that is a problem. 5k-6k is perfect. the 6500 ones are where the blue really starts.

    Rear Wiper Swipe Area

    I've a 2009 Expedition and replaced the wiper blade. Motor looks new. I don't see any issues except the wiper when turned on seems to go about 55-60 degrees. This is tiny and is almost a V as opposed to a semi-circle or 90 degrees. Has anyone experienced a shorter wiping distance and has a fix...

    09 ABS Control Module

    I couldn't find where else to post this. I've a 2009 Eddie Bauer. Myself and 3 local shops can't find a replacement ABS Control Module. Seems that a lot of places didn't make the specific one, and not having luck finding one outside of ebay and I'm skeptical of those. I was wondering if anyone...

    ABS, TRAC Control and Brake lights on.

    2009 here. Same issue. Inherited the truck and I'm guessing it's been out 2-3 years. I don't know what's been tried but I do know 2 dealers have quoted to replace the control module. Think I'm going to try cleaning and evaluating the fuses and connections tomorrow. I do know that hooking up...
