    New code today

    Was driving home from Texas Roadhouse tonight and got a check engine light. Thought it was just the p0420 code that I have had since i bought her. The previous owners told me they replaced all the o2 sensors so it is most likely a bad cat. Turns out that this code was a p2270 instead. Anyone...

    Odd noise

    I actually ended up going through Crutchfield for everything because of house awesome they are. I've had friends and family over the years that have had nothing but great experiences

    Odd noise

    I was able to get everything tight eventually. Alignment was way off but got an Alignment done at a local shop and she's running like a top now. Next project is a new radio. Trying to figure out what I need to make sure the steering wheel controls still work lol

    2006 Eddie Bauer - Add back up camera and new screen

    Out of curiosity do you know which harness is needed? I looked on the site for maestro and the expedition isn't on the list of vehicles. The explorer is but not the expedition

    Odd noise

    Guess I should add that i got a new cv axle, wheel hubs for both sides, upper control arms for both sides, and an outer tie rod end because I had to cut the old one off the driver side.

    Odd noise

    So after a month of not having my car I finally was able to get all the old parts out and started putting in the new. Running into a few issues. Mostly with the new ball joints in the upper control arms. Can't seem to get the center shaft to not spin long enough to to torque it down. I've tried...

    Odd noise

    I snagged some MOOG wheel hubs from rock auto. I've used their stuff before and have liked what I've seen so it was a no brainer for me. I didn't realize that they weren't replaceable on the Ford especially considering so many companies sell upper ball joints specifically for that model. Yeah I...

    Odd noise

    Yeah, I had a mechanic friend of mine come by and help me look at it and he recommended replacing the upper ball joint, the CV axle, and the wheel hub. He recommended going wheel hub versus just replacing the bearing because there are a few other things that he saw in there that looked like they...

    Odd noise

    Yeah so the noise went compelling away for more than a month then on a trip back from picking up my fiance from the hospital a different rubbing noise started that got faster with speed. Noticeable wheel wiggle and the cv axle boot on that wheel is shot. Also noticed a bad ball joint on that side.

    Odd noise

    After some struggle and a lot of cussing that I pulled from my time in the military I was able to get that stupid sensor replaced. Also swapped the brake pads while I was in there because it was time. Thought I had found the cause of the noise as I found what I'm guessing is a retainer spring...

    Odd noise

    The rotors have been lightly scarred since I bought it. Was planning on replacing all the rotors but then I lost my job and that was put on the back burner. Can still confirm the brakes work fine when the ABS light is on but any time it goes off I get hard brake pedal, shudder, the soft brake...

    Odd shake that went away

    Check engine light wasn't flashing or on. And it hasn't done it again since I posted it. I can't find any coolant leaks and haven't needed to add any coolant either. The fuel cutoff is what I was talking about. I've had to push the red reset button on top twice in the past year and a half but...

    Odd noise

    So had to add some brake fluid when we got home earlier. Took it for another test drive after just to see. ABS light was on when I pulled out of the parking spot but went off before I left the parking lot. Got shudder and weak pedal stopping before pulling out of the parking lot. Then the ABS...

    Odd noise

    Had to drive around quite a bit today. No more noise but ABS light keeps coming on and it's throwing a code for the left front wheel speed sensor. Also noticed when the light is off I get brake shudder and the pedal is soft. Then the ABS light comes on and the brakes work perfect. Gonna try to...

    Odd noise

    I recently noticed an occasional noise coming from the driver front wheel. It only happens every once in a while and only last for a few seconds, 30 at the most. It sounds almost metal on metal. I can't seem to accurately recreate it but I have noticed it seems to happen more after I've used the...

    Odd shake that went away

    Thanks for some ideas. I'll check around see if I can see any coolant pulling up anywhere. Don't know if it's potentially related or not but I do have a fuel disconnect switch in the back of this thing that is finicky. There's been a couple of times where she wouldn't start at all and I had to...

    Odd shake that went away

    I'm not sure if this is something that I should be worried about or if I should just watch for it to happen again but as the day is Veterans Day the wife and I are running all around town trying to get as many freebies as possible along with the many doctor's appointments that she ended up...

    Not starting.

    I was able to get 6 ft of 2 gage battery cable for $35 at my local oreilly. Figure it might be a good idea to have it as it's gonna fall eventually. Was thing about running it down there anyway then try to start it to see what happens while I try to find something that will show me how to get...

    Not starting.

    Only issue I have now is that my chest is too big to get under the rig as it is right now with out jacking it up and my apartment complex won't let us do that. Anything other than swapping out a tire and jacking up a rig is a lease violation so I need to find someone small that can get under it...

    Not starting.

    The battery is less than 2 years old. Getting 12.3 v across the terminals. Same to the body. I was told by the guy I bought it from that there was some corrosion in one of the positive cables but I got clean copper when I started digging after about an inch with a little bit of corrosion until I...

    Not starting.

    New issue today. Was running fine yesterday. Went to start it to run to the store real quick and I got one click and then nothing. All the dash lights come on, radio works fine but it's not even ring to turn over. Tried jumping it just in case the battery was too low for anything else and...

    P0435

    So adding oil definitely got rid of majority issues. Now the only time she dies or starts acting up seems to be when I have to reverse, doesn't happen all the time like when I'm pulling out of a parking spot and I have to crank the wheel hard over and reverse she ends up struggling and she's...

    P0435

    Okay so may not be related but I feel really stupid about this. I have a habit of not checking my oil unless I drive a vehicle and as I haven't been driving this one very often I haven't checked the oil in a very long time. I checked the oil after taking it for a quick test drive down the road...

    P0435

    New update. Got off work and decided to run some more tests. Now I'm getting a p0340 and p0349 in stored codes and p0345 and p0012 and I noticed I can't get her above 2875 RPM
