muffler "gurgle" 04 expedition
Hi,
Has anyone had any problems with the muffler on a 04 expedtion with rattleing or "gurgleing " or goaning noises. any input would be great. Dealer cant seem to make it happen when they have it.
Thanks,
minman

I had the same problem with my 03 EB. It took a long time for the techs to be able to duplicate the growl that I was hearing. Eventually they did narrow it down to the muffler and replace it - problem went away.
My Ford tech was able to duplicate the noise by putting the car in neutral after pulling it onto the lift (don't put it in Park - just use parking brake). After that, a light acceleration in neutral would duplicate the noise. Either way, the tech could not duplicate the noise if he put the vehicle in Park after driving onto the lift - go straight from Drive to Neutral.
Hope that info helps with your issue.

I have the same problem exactly.
I asked the dealer yesterday when he squeezed me in for an appointment to have my subwoofer amp replacement installed.
He didn't have time to look at it but also didn't hear of it before.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the help. It makes the noise from a start when your light on the pedal. mainly around town, maybe getting hotter because of stop and go? Any more imput would be great help.
Thanks

I have an appointment for this coming Friday.
He wants me to print all info I find on the net.
Please write if you experience or have experienced this problem.
There is a TSB for the 2003 which I'm not sure applies to me with an early built 2004 (Sept 2003).

Hey Minuteman
Went to the shop yesterday and the tech heard it outside but not on the lift.
He called the Ford Tech Hotline and they said they had a "few" complaints on the 2004s having muffler noise problems and authorized it's replacement.
There is nothing in Oasis about it---yet.
It's on order.
Hope you can do the same---Bob
