    Rattling under acceleration

    I had a 2004 Expedition 5.4L NBX (offroad package) that had the same problem--when nearly new the factory battery was leaking and destroying the vacuum lines on the firewall & in turn would not stay in 2H. All the clanging made it sound like the front wheel assembles were coming apart! New...

    Black lug nuts that don't suck

    Hey, $170 for 24 Ford lug nuts is a bargain. See my earlier post--you are good if you can get past the local Ford parts window for under $300 plus the onerous sales tax here in Tennessee. Black chrome Gorilla sets all over eBay for $60+/-. Also note that my set of regular chrome Gorilla's had...

    2022 HD towing package radiator

    Note the 22 & 23 Expedition order guides list 26mm (1.0236 inch) radiator under HD trailer tow package for all except say Timberline. Yesteryear this 1" radiator meant standard cooling, with 2" the standard for the HD towing package. Except I recall that Ford went back then to the thinner 1"...

    Swollen Lug Nuts - Recommended Replacement?

    I had the same sort of problem with Jeep GC lug nuts, but only after say 125K. A local Firestone store tech cranked them down to 210-240 ft/lbs. (versus the light 110 factory spec) on the 2012 Jeep GC we gave our daughter. Also there was general impact wrench damage to the extent that the...

    Swollen Lug Nuts - Recommended Replacement?

    Recommend the Gorilla solid aftermarket lug nuts as they have the correct length 60 degree seat, are the correct overall length. correct color, etc. The Gorillas are often about $50-60 for 24 on eBay. The Gorillas held the 150 ft/lbs torque spec on the first go--- an early McGard from Summit...
