Why does my Ford engine sound different?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Ford Excursion. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Ford Excursion engine?

Can I put water in my Ford Excursion radiator?

While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your Excursion radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
