    2005 Catalytic Converter replacement DIY

    I can't speak to the subframe, but every time I touch an exhaust all the bolts are rusted and half break. Make sure you pick up some new hardware. And good luck. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    Thinking of buying a 2003 Eddie Bauer, anything I should watch out for?

    Buy a can with a gauge and just add a little at a time. Too much pressure is also bad. When I'm alone in ours I don't run the rear AC. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    Ford CD changers are known for being crap. The changer in our 2006 Mustang is also bad. I just don't use CDs anymore. Figure out how to connect your phone and forget about the changer. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    2006 Expy dead motor?

    Possible bad head gasket? Could be causing low compression or oil in a few cylinders plus leaking oil out the side. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    What's your zip code? There is an app or website called row52.com where you can look for specific cars at Pick n Pull near you and set up a search. You can also request a part and have someone pull and ship it to you. For now I would just glue it back on, one of the great things about pulling...

    Good luck finding the door codes. That's one of my favorite features on our Navigator. For the turn signal if the clips have broken off then glue might be your best bet. Or a good used one. I also noticed that Ford mirror motors don't hold up well, they get jerky and don't work smoothly. To...

    Congrats on getting the Expedition! Hope it works out for you. One tip from a dealer. Next time you buy a car make sure you test everything and don't buy anything until you know everything is working. It's different state to state, but here in Oregon unless otherwise specified all sales are...

    Here's my Lincoln remote. The extra button on yours might be to pop the glass, but if the rear wiper doesn't work the hatch wiring might be broken. That's not a fun or cheap fix. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    Try to find an original brochure online, I'm not sure that the EB came with originally. But Even on the Navigator a sunroof and heated seats were optional. If you want that stuff they are out there. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    I don't know where you are in Maryland, but I just checked the Baltimore Craigslist and saw a ton of Expeditions for about $3k. Here's one: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/cto/d/2003-ford-expedition-4x4-3/6579140682.html As someone else said don't buy the first one you see, and...

    Thinking of buying a 2003 Eddie Bauer, anything I should watch out for?

    If it has never had the spark plugs changed assume that it needs them, and if I can't do it yourself call a shop for a quote. Or search here. They break and require special tools to replace. I believe it's $500 to $1000 for that job. Does it have air suspension? If so it probably has leaks...

    Clear codes without scanner

    That one should be fine. If you have an android phone I use Torque with a Bluetooth adapter. They run about $20, stay away from the super cheap Chinese knockoffs. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

    Almost ran it out of oil... what should I look/listen for

    I"m curious how many miles you put on it to go through 4 quarts of oil.

    Newbie question - CCD or Load Leveling for 7000lb+ Travel Trailer

    We put over 12000 miles on a 2004 Tahoe and 6000 lb trailer. Having a properly set up WD hitch will be key and good trailer brakes that are properly dialed in. Frankly I think most tow ratings are black magic and marketing. But a few aren't. Like tire load ratings, and axle load ratings...
