I have a 99 expedition, and when it rains, it runs very rough and stalls out. You have to use one foot on the break and one on the gas just to keep it running. Has anyone else had this problem and know the fix?????

Silent mode. by mschmal

You should never hear the horn when you hit the unlock button.
 
If you hit the lock button once, all the doors lock in silent mode.
 
If you hit the lock button twice, you get one horn chirp if all doors are closed securely, two horn chirps if one or more doors is ajar.

Metal "thud" noice coming from rear end after turning off ignition by nickpo

I have noticed after driving my 2004 EB Expedition that it makes this "thud" noise in the rear of the vehicle after parking and turning off the ignition. It usually occurs within 10-15 minutes after shutting off the vehicle.
 
If you have ever had a thick cookie sheet in the oven and set it to preheat...when the metal hetas up it makes a "thud." It is that same kinf od sound only significantly louder.
 
Seems to come from both sides at the rear of the vehicle. There is nothing leaking and mechanically the car drives fine.
 
It in 2w drive at the moment...although this occurs in all settings. Any suggestiongs?

I am only hitting the button once and it honks everytime! It's so annoying and it brings attention. I push the lock button once and it honks once. I hit the unlock button once and it honks twice!

Oil Change Experience by bronsonb

Well, I've had my 2004 Expedition for a few months, and it was time for my first oil change. I prefer to do these myself, but I've never done one on an Expedition.
 
Anyway, at first I was a bit daunted because there didn't seem to be any easy access to the oil filter. It was impossible to get to from the top of the engine. Below the engine, it seemed like I needed to contort myself to get to it.
 
Then when I crawled out from under the truck, I noticed that Ford had designed it so that you could access the oil filter from just under the front of the truck. If you go under the front of the bumper and look up on the driver's side of the truck, you'll see the oil filter. The designers left a small opening there and even put a shelf of sorts underneath it.
 
When I took the oil filter off, the shelf caught oil dripping from the filter bolt, and I was easily able to clean it up.
 
Detroit got something right, and I just wanted to say I was quite impressed with how easy it was.
 
The whole oil change and fluid top off took me about 30 minutes. It usually takes me 45 minutes on my wife's Passat (15 minutes to remove and re-attach that plastic lower engine area shield).
 
Just wanted to share!

I have a 98 Exp pushing 130K miles and never changed my own oil until I bought this vehicle. It sits up high enough to crawl under comfortably and the oil filter is in the exact same place as you have discribed only without a shelf.
