    audible and tactile steering slop, only at startup

    noticed a bit more slop in the steering a few days ago. Upon startup from cold and dark, there is a faintly audible "Tok" sound accompanied by tactile feedback which suggests something is loose in the steering components. This is experienced when one turns steering wheel left or right...

    How to keep all lights off even with doors open?

    Stepboard lights and internal lights illuminate when doors are open. Is there a way to prevent them from turning on? Sometimes we just want some doors open when parked outdoors but dont need the lights and would rather they stay off. 1999 xlt.

    Blend Door Help

    Btw, how difficult was it to get to the blend door/actuator? was youtubing it and only saw two ways, one required cutting some material away (less dissassembly) the other had most of the dash removed just to get to it. man i wish they just made it a manual mechanical lever that closed/opened a...

    IAC Valve options if motorcraft not available

    Finally got the part to the islands and had it put in. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/replaced-the-iacv-fixed-the-stumbling-and-hesitation-and-wandering-idle.48021/

    Replaced the IACV. Fixed the stumbling and hesitation and wandering idle.

    It would sometimes stumble/hesitate upon shifting to D or R from P or N followed by a few minutes of wildly wandering idle. I ignored it since it was very rare but it finally got pretty bad one time and it stalled in reverse (automatic mind you) so I said nope, gonna address this now. Read up...

    Blend Door Help

    unless you really really need or want it, maybe just shut the blend door completely and condemn that motor that just spins. that is what i plan to do with mine since my blend door is stuck open and i really would like to keep it closed (max AC) all the time anyway.

    high coolant temp when idling at uneven surface.

    banked to the left i mean driver side (left hand drive) is lower than right side. will change coolant along with other fluids in about 400 mi, in the meantime will just avoid idling in surfaces banked to the left. will do a radiator replacement if flush and fill doesn't remedy it.

    high coolant temp when idling at uneven surface.

    original from 1999. air, that would explain it. doesn't it self vent any air as coolant circulates though? will a coolant drain/refill remove the air?

    brake pedal loose during turn

    my brake pedal also has side to side play. if i wiggle my foot i can feel it move side to side ever so slightly. i've always just attributed it to SUV construction slop and big tolerances but sure would love to reduce it if it can be done safely. 1999 XLT 4.6

    high coolant temp when idling at uneven surface.

    something about being parked on a left bank is affecting the coolant system. happened again today, less than 8 degree left bank, parked idling and coolant went up to 112 deg C (via bluedriver live data). normal coolant idle temp is 99 to 103 and this truck idles for 20 to 30 mins regularly on...

    Oil Filter Housing Gasket

    ah wait, i might have misunderstood. i thought you meant the oil filter itself was leaking where it attaches to the truck.
