A: see if ford has a recall of service bulletin call the service dept and they will look in computer

Q: Ford Expedition?
I am going to look at a Ford Expedition on Sunday. It is a few years old and I was wondering if any of you web heads have or had one and can tell e how well it does on gas and is it a reliable long lasting SUV. Any advice is more then appreciated.
A: The Expedition is a great vehicle no problem areas to speak of. The gas mileage is not bad for the size I had a 4.6 expedition and I managed 21 on the highway and 14 in town. It has a comfortable ride, quiet cabin and is roomy I traded my Expedition for an Explorer I liked the Explorer however it does not even compare with its big brother
Q: Why is my 98 Ford Expedition is not getting Hot Air?
My 98 Ford Expedition is not getting hot air through out the truck. It blows cold air but not hot. We have changed out the thermostat. The hoses are getting hot, and the heater coal is working! The air is coming out Thur the vents but its only cold in the front and the back. The knob on the from changing the switch from hot to cold is also moving and working properly! Any suggestions?
A: Fords use an electric 'blend door' actuator. Most of the time, the motor and switch work fine but the blend door (inside the plenum) breaks and there is nothing, besides replacement, that will work. First make sure there is nothing wrong with the motor/heat control dial/wires before spending a fortune to replace the plenum.

Q: Can I remove the running board from my 2002 Ford Expedition?
If I can remove the running board from my 2002 Ford Expedition, is it still safe to use it?
A: Yes. A running board is only there for the purpose of entry assistance, and appearance. Removing it will have no effect on safety, or structural rigidity of the vehicle itself.
Q: What is wrong with my 2000 ford expedition?
My 2000 ford expedition won't start. The engine doesn't crank. I tried jump starting the car and it wouldn't work. I took the starter to get it tested and they said it worked fine. I changed the solenoid and it still wouldn't start. What might be wrong in my car.
A: It could be many things.
You mentioned a solenoid. What happens if you jump the solenoid, ie: power the solenoid directly from the battery. Your solenoid should have 2 big terminals and at least 1 small one. You can jump from the big terminal that the battery + cable is hooked to and the small terminal. If there's 2, then use the small terminal on the side the battery connects to.
Unless your Ford is radically different from my ol' '74 Pinto... If in doubt, get someone to look at the solenoid and ask them how to connect a bump switch.
The way things usually work is the key works a switch that will then route power to the solenoid. All a solenoid is is an electrically operated switch, or relay. If there's no power to the solenoid from the switch, you won't crank.
The switch should also power on your engine's computer and ignition and all that modern stuff. If the ECU doesn't get power, I doubt the engine would start, but it should crank.

Q: what are the best types of shocks to use for a 2000 ford expedition?
i have a 2000 ford expedition. i need to replace the factory shocks. i don't know what types to use though.

Q: What to do when a strange grinding noise is present after replacing the rotors on a Ford Expedition 1997?
My friend recently replaced the rotors and the brake pads on his 1997 Ford Expedition, but immediately afterwards when he was driving the car around, there was a grinding noise when he applied the brakes coming to a complete stop. That is the only time he could hear the noise, otherwise the car would be completley fine accelerating or lightly to moderately pressing on the brakes. Any suggestions as to what might be causing the noise?
A: Probably the dust cover behind the rotor is making contact. Jack the car up and spin the wheel while you friend applies the brakes. Isolate the noise and take corrective action as appropriate.
Q: How much did you pay to get the spark plugs changed on your Ford Expedition?
I got a quote of $450 and figured that is outrageous. It's a 1998 Ford Expedition 4x4, 5.4. I would change them myself but way to difficult. Thanks
A: That sounds about right. I have done many of these and it is about a four hour job. You have to remove all the coils and also the fuel rail. With quality spark plugs and the applicable labor, you are definately in the ball park. Call around and get some quotes from other shops and you will see.
Q: My 4WD Ford Expedition has the front drive axle shift actuator lines cracked and broken, what should i do?
1997 Ford Expedition
Vacuum lines cracked and broken
Actuator seems ok and in tact
But the lines near the fron passenger side engine compartment behind the battery on the firewall looks real bad.
A: Those style of hard plastic lines have been nothing but a problem since Ford introduced them. You can either order new one from a dealership, or what i would try to do in your situation, try to convert the lines over to good ole rubber vacuum lines. Good luck
Q: How can I get the Key Code for 2001 Ford Expedition?
Where can I find the Key Code for the door for a 2001 Ford Expedition. The dealer is charging me $200.00 just to reset the key code, and I don't have $200.00
I bought the truck used, came with nothing. I tried turning it on and off without turning on the engine and the door locks popped open. What are the steps to putting in a new code?
A: If I understand correctly you are looking for the keyless entry keypad code. The dealer can use a scan tool NGS, PDS or IDS to retrieve the code from the module. I do it all the time for free to customers in the service lane. If you are looking to lake another key to match the existing locks the dealership service and parts managers have access to the Ford database that will look up the factory key codes for cars/trucks less than 10 years old. You will have to prove ownership and have the vin number. This is also usually a free service, they do charge to make and program additional keys.
