I just bought a 2003 Expedition XLT with 123k. I took it to a mechanic to look it over and he gave me the green light. I mentioned to him the noise I was hearing, a grinding, dragging, metallic noise. He didn't hear it when he drove it so i thought maybe its nothing. I am still hearing the noise and told him it happened most between 1600-2000 rpm and between 30-40mph after engaging 3rd gear. Again he drove it and still couldn't hear it. So i drove it with him in it and we heard it, but not enough to exactly pinpoint it yet, but his first thought was something to do with ABS. They told me to take the weekend to see if i hear it anymore and they'll look at it pro-bono for a certain amount of time. So tonight we take it out for a little country ride, and again the noise is there but more frequently. We were cruising at 60 when it was the worst and most constant. Was still intermittent at freeway speeds of 70-80. On the way home after hearing the noise again and cancelling cruise control and resetting it at a lower speed my service engine soon light kicked on. Anyone have any idea what this might be? I am no mechanic. Sorry this is wordy but i thought i better put all the detail in there as possible.
