    Low oil pressure

    You need to install a manual gauge and check the oil pressure. The light or gauge on the dash does NOT give you the pressure reading. It only tells you the pressure is above 7 PSI. It's a fancy idiot light. If you are hearing clattering on start up, then there is a pressure problem. Fix it...

    Intake timing retarted to no oil pressure

    Sounds like the new cam phasers died. Lose of oil pressure gave you the valve clatter noise. The oil pressure gauge only tells you that you have 7 PSI or more. When it drops to 0 PSI it means there is less than 7 PSI. A fancy idiot light. Your engine is probably toast. You should have stopped...

    Driver front caliper locking up.

    Sensors should not be able to lock the caliper. The only thing that can lock a caliper is gunk in the fluid or rusted piston. Could also be something broken on the caliper mount. Maybe a bolt frozen. This is where I would start. M

    AC not working, Hi Temp Light on, P1289

    Probably. If the sensor is not bad then changing it won't do anything but waste time and money. Test the circuit to determine if the sensor or wires going to it are at fault. Mike

    Need more info. Mileage, when were the plugs last changed. Give a general overview of the truck. Any mods. Just because the codes say coil pack failed does not mean bad coils.

    A/C stops under load

    Normal. Computer shuts down the A/C under heavy loads. Most manufacturers do this and have for many years. Mike

    A/C trouble

    Apparently, the computer disables the compressor when it senses a misfire in the engine. This was reported by another member in a thread. I also had the same happen to me a couple weeks ago. My # 6 coil has a bad clip on it's connector and backed out of the coil. Started with a miss and no A\C...

    Broken spark plug

    That looks like there is a bunch of greasy dirt packed down in the bottom. May be keeping the socket from getting around the hex. Take a pick or skinny screw driver and see if you can clean it up. Mat also spray some solvent down there to loosen it up. Blow it out with compressed air. Mike

    Cat back Exhaust upgrade

    Thank you for the reply. I did find one on Amazon and purchased it there. Works great. As you said I had to trim it to fit. Put a long skinny screw though the pipe to keep it in. Mike

    A/C Compressor Valve blew off :0 2005 Expy

    First find the point of the leak. Can be any part of the system that had a catastrophic failure. Hose, Compressor, condenser. Can be as simple as a shrader valve gone bad. If a part under warranty, good. If not time for more money into the system. Good luck, Mike

    Switch column shifter to console?

    I have a 2006 SSV Expedition XLT. Looking at putting a shifter from a Gen 3. Has anyone done this. Not finding info in a search. Any one think this is possible to take the parts from a 07 or 08 and have a console shifter. Thanks in advance, Mike

    Identify SSV package

    I have a 2006 Expedition XLT. Just a basic truck. It was originally a Fire Chiefs vehicle in South West Florida. I have received a Marti report, just the basic report as they don't have a copy of the window sticker. My question is does anyone know what the SSV package was on these vehicles...

    To putty or not to putty

    From the size and shape of the damage. Clean extremely well. Use a small, thin piece of metal as a patch to epoxy on to the front of the cover. Good luck and be careful not to get any squeeze out inside the cover. M
