Finally got my Expedition

[TrickerZ]

Thank you! I like it. Only thing is the roof, it suffers the same clear coat damage and fade the hood had. But couldn't get the dealer to repair it, only the hood and upper doors. I'm thinking I could use some herculiner tinted to match the rest of the paint and roll it on. Look better than the white/grey/faded paint and protect it from whatever I throw up there.. Canoes, kayaks, etc.

Did you ever do the herculiner? I just bought a 2007 that has some rust up top and want to do something similar. Wondering how well it works at preventing rust.

I just threw some old house paint on top of my last SUV and it worked fine until I sold it.

Sorry, just haven't had time to do the herculiner. Thought I'd do the experiment with my old Explorer first.

Got the new correct transmission cooler put in. Easiest transmission work I've ever done! Hardest part was removing the grill and that's easy. However checking and adding fluid afterwards was a huge PIA. I ended up adding too much and had to pump some out. What I pumped out looked like over used motor oil. Not wanting to go through that terrible process myself I just took it to brakemasters and had the fluid changed. They pumped the old out as they pumped the new in. I asked about replacing the filter as well but that added several hundred dollars to the job. I think I'll just add an external filter and call it good.

Several hundred for dropping the pan? That's why I do my own work.

I would have done the work myself, but really really hate trying to refill it, and check the level with no fill tube and a 2 in. dipstick.

How did you EVER get those quick connect fittings on the cooler lines apart? I've tried every tool made and they won't come out.

I believe you need this:

You don't think I've tried that and a dozen others? But thank you, my friend.
