    Multiple Systems "Not Available"

    I had similar issues - ABS light, Advance Trac, hill descent mode - all light up on my Super Duty about 5 years ago. First attempt was replacing the wheel speed sensor. That solved the problem lights for about a month, then they all came back. Next step was the wheel bearing. THAT was a bear…but...

    Emergency truck replacement!

    What he said. I bought the ESP on my Navigator, and about 2 months after the factory drivetrain warranty expired, the front dif required replacement. It was a $4,500 job. Cost me my $50 deductible. All this within 3 months of owning the Lincoln. So yeah, well worth it.

    It’s making me crazy codes after diagnosis advance trac

    Maybe no one is interested in looking up the 20+ codes you’ve listed. Be more explicit. Use proper grammar. As written above, you kind of sound like a bot. Good luck.

    Transmission got hot - fluid everywhere

    Figured as much.

    Transmission got hot - fluid everywhere

    I was not towing, and I probably won’t tow anything with this. That’s what the Super Duty is for. The trans was serviced 13,000 miles ago. I had every fluid serviced after I took possession of the Navigator, for a known benchmark.

    Transmission got hot - fluid everywhere

    Driving on the highway for a 3-hour trip, and about 30 minutes remaining, my trans temp got very hot (I saw 232*). The cruise was set for most of the trip, relatively flat terrain (Missouri), and I was not towing. Ambient temperature was a little over 80*. I’ve got about 80k miles on my...

    roaring noise

    I had a similar noise (as best as I can tell from your description). I couldn’t tell where it originated, but most noticeable between 20-50 MPH. I ruled out tire noise, bearings, trans. Turns out the front end shit the bed. Dealer replaced under extended warranty. This was at about 65k miles...

    roaring noise

    Could bearing(s), front dif, rear dif, transfer case, u-joints. Does the sound fluctuate with wheel RPM, engine RPM? Any associated vibration in conjunction with the sound? Have you checked ALL fluid levels?

    Oil and transmission coolers

    This is a pretty solid discussion on the topic of trans cooling here.

    The difference between 04-05 horsepower

    As stated, in ‘05 Ford went from the 2v to the 3v 5.4…completely different engines. I did a lot of work to an ‘03 EB that I rebuilt, to include a reman’d long block 2v. Plenty of extra power was found from the Volant CAI, JBA shorty headers, Magnaflow exhaust and e-fans I went back together...

    I'm at a loss

    Intake manifold. What specific codes are you getting as well?

    Another Timing Job Question -2003 5.4L 2V

    Engine swap $3k, with a 3 year / 100k mile warranty. I did the work. Worth every penny. I’ve got some threads on here from a couple years back with many more details. Part of my complete restoration of an ‘03 EB.

    Rust breaker recommendations

    About the best stuff money can buy. But you will pay for it. I think the last can I bought from Napa was about $25. Very common in aviation Mx as well. Another option is something called Mouse Milk - again, the gold standard in aviation Mx. That generally comes in a bottle or even quart-size...

    Another 06 Expedition for me.

    I found success in getting all of the steering wheel buttons working properly simply by cleaning the corrosion that builds up over 20+ years. I think there is a sticky for the procedure. Worked like a charm.

    2004 DATC driver side blend door actuator failure write up

    Whtbronco, your perseverance is to be admired. Now that you’ve successfully accessed the diag mode on the DATC, just remember to exit the diag mode appropriately in order to recalibrate your mode / blend door actuators. I tackled both the passenger and driver side on my project ‘03 (and the...

    Belts? Something we can do or not?

    The AC belt is likely a stretch belt, where there is no tensioner. You will need a special tool, particularly for reinstalling the new belt.

    2013 Brake Job

    Well done! I did the Z36 upgrade to my truck about 6 months ago, and have been very pleased. I didn’t opt for new calipers at the time, but took that opportunity to epoxy the OEM calipers.

    Cracked valve cover - common problem?

    Probably $1,000 per side. Not because that’s what it costs them. But because that’s what they can charge.

    New here in Kansas

    Kansas is a big state. I’ve done business with LKQ in Topeka. Salvage yards have also gotten on the interwebs, so check out car-part.com as an option. I’ve had hard-to-find parts shipped to me from out of state.

    Just wanted to praise AutoStop Eliminator. 5 minute install!

    I installed the 4D Tech start / stop eliminator on my ‘19 Navigator and ‘23 Aviator and love it. It’s like the Ronco…set it and forget it!

    New member: Looking for cat-back exhaust options for 2024 Stealth Performance (non MAX)

    Not sure what differences between the Expeditions and my Navigator might be as far as exhaust, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the nice rumble of my Navigator when I get on it. For my 2nd Gen Expedition I rebuilt, I did put a nice Flowmaster exhaust on it, and that was fantastic! No...

    Need help. I accidentally ripped this out.

    Washer fluid squirter? Where’s the other end of the hose go to / come from? Is there fluid inside the hose?

    2004 Dual Climate Control Click and Thump Under Dash

    It’s not that complex, nor required the entire dash or the airbox to be removed. You have a blend door actuator up top, and a mode select actuator (IIRC) on the bottom. I’ve personally replaced them both. The blend door actuator up top can be done in about 30 minutes. Ford Tech Makeyouloco has...
