    Help needed with 2007 expedition

    Only the 2007-2010ish had the mechanical fan, from 11+ it switched to an electric fan setup that is not directly compatible with your '07. Now, there are several ways to upgrade to an electric fan, and doing so adds a little power, a little MPG, and a TON of extra room in the engine bay...

    12v switched radio

    This is the correct answer. The '08 does not have a switched ACC wire to the radio. You will need to run a wire to the fusebox and use a fuse tap to a switched fuse.

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    Zero rust. None. The truck doesn't look like it has 300k on it. Also, new trans filter and fluid last summer, so that analysis won't show much of anything.

    Fuel gauge issue

    2008 EL. Needle on the gauge is always showing the same 1/2 full tank... and has for the last year. The needle doesn't move. However, the Distance to Empty on the trip computer is accurate. What would cause the sender to show accurate DTE on the info screen but not send signal to the gauge?

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    Present thinking is that a blown seal on the oil pump is resulting in low oil pressure at idle to the VCT and phasers which is causing the rough idle.

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    Title jump, odometer tampering, and sales fraud. Police wouldn't do anything about it, and I haven't been able to find a lawyer willing to take it (can't find anyone in CO with any experience with this sort of thing). Still looking into various forms of recourse, but for now I need to...

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    Lawsuit is my only option. So far I have been unable to find an attorney with any experience in civil suits for inter-state vehicle sale fraud and odometer tampering.

    Timing chain - bare minimum?

    My 2008 Expedition EL King Ranch is having a difficult time idling and is throwing codes indicating it needs a timing job. Backstory: I bought this truck sight unseen from across the country last November for $12,000. It had been advertised as clean title and only 106,000 miles. I had someone...

    ‘08 5.4 fuel pressure regulator hose?

    Looking under the hood today I noticed the vacuum line going to the fuel pressure regulator is split at the back near the firewall. Does anyone have the part number for this line? How difficult to replace?

    Transmission Fluid Change interval

    It really is this simple: 1) NEVER, NEVER, NEVER FLUSH A TRANSMISSION** 2) DRAIN & FILL IS NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE Service interval can vary depending on your usage. something used around town is going to have a longer duty cycle than something that tows frequently. Current manufacturer...

    2008 - camera from rear-view to head unit?

    I don't want to add a second camera... the camera is already there and has a feed. Just trying to figure out which wires to tap to steal the signal (if anyone here had done that before)

    Need Best advice

    Can you post the full list of codes? If you have a laptop or windows tablet and an ELM OBD adapter, download Forscan and run a full diagnostic. It's likely that there are other codes present as well. The problem likely isn't the cam position sensor, it's more likely to be the cam phaser...

    New problem: smoke from passenger side

    Looks like I’m dripping oil onto the exhaust, can see it through the passenger side wheel well. Valve cover gasket, or could there be another culprit on an ‘09 5.4?

    2008 - camera from rear-view to head unit?

    My replacement head unit has a camera-in feature with wires for reverse and camera. Being an '08, my truck has the camera in the rearview and not in the dash. Does anyone know which wires and/or where would need to be tapped/spliced to get the reverse and camera feed to the from the headliner...

    Ford F150 front Suspension

    Never heard of them... does look beefy though. What are you running for springs on top of those shocks? Or was it a complete package/quickstrut?

    6r75 bulkhead connector?

    After dropping the pan, fill 5 qt with the vehicle off. Start the truck, shift through all gears, pausing in each gear. Put it back in park, keep the engine running. Slide back underneath, you should have approximately two more quarts to install. Begin filling, stopping occasionally to check...

    6r75 bulkhead connector?

    The easiest way to fill it back up: Drill 2 holes in the lid of the ATF jug. Insert two lengths of 1/2 poly tube. One just barely inside the lid, the other pushed through the lid to reach the bottom of the jug. Set your air compressor to less than 10psi, blow gun attachment. Connect the tube...
