    Is A/C cold at idle/around town in 2015-2017’s?

    A basic suggestion is check your airflow at idle and also ensure your evaporator is clean. They can get dirty reducing air flow causing it not to work well at idle. They make cleaning products just for that purpose.

    09 3v power loss "cured" with 5w40

    Interesting, could it be all the Arizona heat cycles and dry air destroying the plastic in the connector like that?

    Help with color code of exterior trim, 2007 Expy

    A poster on another forum said it looked like Ford Dark Shadow Gray. It didn't look right to me, but then again I had sprayed it on a cardboard as a test. I painted a few square inches of space what was chipping and bingo! It is Dark Shadow Gray. Now to find a weather window to work in.

    Help with color code of exterior trim, 2007 Expy

    Help! I'm ready to repair some minor front end damage, I have headlights, fog lights, a grille and emblem and the Oxford White for that portion of the front. But I'm stumped on what color the lower front bumper cover is. My door sticker only lists the main Oxford White and doesn't list the trim...

    Body Trim Paint 2011

    I "think" that is Pueblo Gold, paint code G3. I'm still looking for what my trim color is for a similar situation.

    2011 Expedition 5.4l 3v P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire

    Possibly the #1 injector??

    O2 sensors again....

    Agree that what codes you are getting would be helpful. As long as the codes are for the second O2 sensors it shouldn't cause drivability issues. And if you don't have emissions testing then the only concern is probably getting rid of the check engine light. In that case I'd probably go for the...

    New rattle, torque converter area???

    To close this one out, the shop that diagnosed the broken catalytic converter was causing the rattle gave me an estimate of $5,000 to replace just the left catalytic converter and $3,000 to use an aftermarket converter! Yikes! So I found a Walker aftermarket converter on Amazon that was marked...

    New rattle, torque converter area???

    Update: turned out it was a broken catalytic converter. I knew that cat wasn't working, but it started to break up inside. Way louder than I expected for a broken catalytic converter. Better than engine, transmission or even flexplate.

    New rattle, torque converter area???

    It didn't seem loose, but it's worth a shot putting a clamp on it before taking it in to a shop. Thanks. At this point I'm leaning toward a cracked flexplate.

    New rattle, torque converter area???

    So I picked up a nasty rattle on my 2007, 165k. No check engine light, my scanner could find nothing wrong, it ran and shifted smoothly on the way home. Checking it out the noise is from under the car, seems to be coming from the bell housing area. It was very loud there, not the oil pan. The...

    P0015 on 2012 Expy with 5.4 Triton

    I’d definitely take it back to them since they just did major work on it.

    What does the dealer say now?

    P0015 on 2012 Expy with 5.4 Triton

    P0015 wouldn’t be fuel. It is related to the camshaft, either with the VCT or a mechanical issue with the phaser. Since they had that head off last month I would have them recheck it.

    P0015 on 2012 Expy with 5.4 Triton

    That paperwork seems to indicate a leaking valve that may be bent. It recommends a new engine and doesn't indicate it was repaired. The P0015 is very different from the paperwork, a VCT error so that may just be an issue with the connection to the VCT solenoid or camshaft position sensor. Since...

    Real world MPG results

    Fuelly is a good site to see what others are getting. Personally my bone stock 2007 gets 13-15 daily suburban driving. On a recent 500 mile road trip I averaged a bit over 17. Over 400 of the 500 was highway driving. I'm not unhappy with my MPG, but I have noticed that if I'm stuck in traffic...

    Starts fine! Then runs rough until choke goes to idle

    My wife’s Equinox had a similar issue. Started great, after a few seconds the idle would drop as it it went to closed loop using the O2 sensors to control A/F ratio. It would die and wouldn’t idle until it was fully warmed up. Turns out it was a bad O2 sensor 1. It was still working, but not...

    Head Unit Upgrade Phobia

    The pink camera + needs a positive trigger when the car switches to reverse. It is typically connected to the + on the reverse lights. I'm not sure if you can get that out of your existing connection or if you need to tap into the reverse lights. There is a dedicated Atoto Facebook group if...

    Catch can saga

    FordTechMakuloco Just put out a video on getting a second opinion. Pretty good chance your catch can install was fine and cats were fine.

    Head Unit Upgrade Phobia

    My XLT didn't have steering wheel controls. I could have picked up the Atoto steering wheel controls, but I didn't like the color so I went with a JOYING Universal Steering Wheel Control from Amazon. It works reasonable well for basic functions.

    puddle light woes!

    Definitely sounds like a switch or wiring issue. Wiring could also include whatever module that controls the lights. All of my interior lights are also LED and they all work with the switch or the door including the one in the cargo area.

    puddle light woes!

    I have LED puddle lights in my 2007, they work fine. They come on with the interior lights via the FOB or opening the door.

    HVAC blend door clicking-baffled

    I believe there are 4 up front on the Limited due to the dual climate controls. 2 are temperature blend door actuators and the one that is hard to find is for the drivers side temperature. Below is a list someone shared with me when I was working a similar issue. * defrost/panel/floor mode...
