Here's a far less intrusive way to test wires from one of the really smart members here. From Yupster Dog: "Voltage Drop Test is testing the connections without having to take them apart and you can work your way right to the problem. So you have a volt meter and you put the red on the positive...- whtbronco

Replacing DISCARD NUTS on front upper arm
I don't see the part number in my normal places to look for the bolts or the nuts. I know I generally just put some thread locker on them and reuse them if they seem okay and tighten properly. When I had to replace a lower front control arm bolt and nut due to not holding a torque settings I...- whtbronco

Not so Good Vibrations
Well to say I am disappointed in the Delphi lower bushing is an understatement. In fact after reviewing the pics on the RockAuto site I clearly did not get the same item that I wanted, just like the Moog's I ordered. The Delphi bushing I received looks just like the Dorman. In fact the only...- whtbronco

ABS Hydraulic Control Unit Leaking Dump Valve
Well this is gonna be interesting. I did swap an ABS solenoid module in one of our Monte Carlo's, the replacement came from a car we bought and stripped for parts and I had no issues. I've done nothing with the Expedition ABS module.- whtbronco

Engine hesitating
There are quite a few things that can cause this. A really good place to start would be to stop by any auto parts store as they will usually scan your vehicle for diagnostic trouble codes for free. The large chain auto parts store do at least such as Advance Auto Parts, Autozone or O'Reilly...- whtbronco

I hope I don't regret this decision, but I ordered some Delphi bushings since they appear to match the original design. We'll see, they should be here Friday. I need to get this all wrapped up so I can get to the normal annual maintenance, rusted rocker panel on the Expedition and engine seals...- whtbronco

Not so Good Vibrations
I have found an interesting issue. I can't find OEM replacements for the lower bushing and the upper OEM bushing is $125-150. So I decided to get Moog. However, Moog apparently sells 2 different designs under the same part number. Not the R series vs K series, these are all K80212 upper and...- whtbronco

P0435
Yes absolutely, the timing chain tensioners use oil pressure to adjust the chain. Of course the entire valve train is also lubricated by the oil and you were 50% low. At higher rpm their may not have been enough oil for the pump to pick up. Glad to hear it sounds like a fairly easy fix...- whtbronco

Seems most of the posts I have seen reported mileage between 150-200k, with some as low as 100k. So I had issues with a place to do the work in the past as well. I rented a space in a garage from a co-worker once and I had buddies that rented a storage facility. You probably should ensure...- whtbronco

Yeah seems like when both sensors appear to have failed at the same time on the 5.4L 3V it's most often time to do a timing job. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will chime in here, but I wonder if FORScan can display timing in real time while your driving? I know it will display...- whtbronco

Squealing noise during slow speeds
With new rear brakes it could very well be your parking brake. When it's squeaking just set the parking brake 1-3 clicks to see and then release it soon after of course.- whtbronco

Upgrading wheel hubs?
I'm not sure you'll find anyone that has tried this. Aside from your predicament I can't see a reason why you'd go through the effort quite frankly. You have wheel bearing hub assemblies in the front, but you have axle shafts in the rear. I suggest you'll have to change the rear axle shafts...- whtbronco

The dreaded PATS system on a 2004 Exp
I understand the frustration with PATS. I have dealt with it on 3 of our GM cars. I fixed 2 and put in a resistor on the other to effectively bypass it. I have no idea if there's a way to fool the Ford system. I have also cussed the manufacturers for including these systems, but the theft...- whtbronco

I replaced the driver side upper rear control arm to knuckle bushing. Once the right bits and pieces are figured out it wasn't too bad. I used a rented ball joint press and receiver cup to press it out. I actually had to press the center out first since I was not able find anything that would...- whtbronco

Diagnosing overheating from 200 miles away
Yes. For the water pump look for a chalky white line from coolant dripping from the weep hole and running down the front of the block. If it's really bad you be able to grab the fan clutch shaft and move it other than just rotation. Thermostat, if it heats up and then doesn't stabilize, but...- whtbronco

06 Dead instrument cluster

Driving with tailgate tied down over kayaks
I have hauled plywood, drywall, lumber and other long stuff many times over the years. If it's not very heavy I let it stick out the window and just put folded towels or blankets over the weather stripping to protect it. For heavy stuff I leave the tailgate open some and run straps from the...- whtbronco

Well on the way home this evening the vibration felt more pronounced and I started thinking it was suspension. I took it up to 80mph twice and it definitely felt like suspension. Turns out the upper left rear ball joint bushing is loose. This makes sense as it was intermittent and varying in...- whtbronco

2005 Ford Expedition Electric Issues
I suggest if you have a sunroof the front right drain is leaking. That drain runs down the A pillar. You can open the sunroof and look into the corners to see the ~3/16" drains. Use some lawn trimmer string to push through the drain and see if it's plugged up. If you don't have a sunroof...- whtbronco

Suspension Upgrade - No Air Ride :(
The only thing I know of is the Rancho Quicklift struts. They are 9 way adjustable. I replaced the air suspension on my 2004 with these. You can soften the ride dramatically or stiffen it to the point it's harsh. My wife says it goes from Cadillac ride to pickup truck ride. They say it...- whtbronco

Diagnosing overheating from 200 miles away
I've replaced my water pump 3 or 4 times now and never had coolant on the ground. It just sort of burns off or blows away. Coolant leaks may only be present while it's running since it's under pressure and if there's a leak the pressure will dissipate pretty quickly. As a result you may not...- whtbronco

Diagnosing overheating from 200 miles away
Unfortunately there is a myriad of tools that might be needed. With the age it could be a hose, the radiator, intake manifold, the water pump, heater core, if you have auxiliary rear HVAC it could be leaking back there. If it's the water pump it would likely have been leaking for quite a while...- whtbronco
