    Front End Noise

    Called service manager yesterday to complain and met with him this morning for him and the tech to hear the noise. Both heard it plain as day. Left the car with them again. Sounds and feels like it may be somewhere in the steering linkage as the noise peaks when turning the wheel at low...

    Front End Noise

    2015 Expi with 32k on the clock developed a very minor vibration or rattling underneath. You can only hear it at low speeds such as pulling into the drive way or slowly thru a parking lot. You can hear it from inside the truck or if standing outside and near it. Difficult to describe the sound...

    Removing Trim Paneling around Rear Cargo Window

    Looking to remove the trim paneling around the rear (lift-up) window on the rear cargo gate. I am installing a K9 window grate which requires attachment brackets under the trim pieces. What is the best method to remove the plastic trim pieces without damaging them so that they reattach properly...

    Screen/Barrier For Rear Lift Window

    I am looking to fab up some type of barrier to cover the rear lift window on Expi/EL. I've scoured the internet for this and came up with nada. Would like to keep it clean with minimal damage to the interior. The intended purpose is to be able to leave the dog in the rear cargo area and open...

    Oil Monitor Questions

    I have a 2011 Expeditionn with the 5.7. While on a road trip the CHANGE OIL SOON message came on at 15k miles and I was set to change the oil at 16k. Does the oil monitor actually monitor the oil OR is it just a device that monitors the miles since the last change. ALso, the owners manual...

    Specter Drop-In Replacement P/N

    Can anyone advise the Specter part number for a drop in air filter to replace the stock element on a 2011 Expi? Went to their site and could not locate it. Gonna do this and the Gott's Mod and call it a day.

    Airaid Review Please

    So it does not sound like these kits offer any tremendous improvements. Perhaps a better throttle response, but no significant MPG improvements. I can't see dumping $300 on a kit that offers such minimal gains. Any one with other benefits or gains chime on in.

    Airaid Review Please

    Well I traded in my 2004 Expy for a new 2011 Expy EL that was left over at the dealer. I am thinking of getting the Airaid CAI kit for it, but at over $300 I have to wonder if it worth the money. Can anyone give me their opinion on their results with the kit. Is there a noticable throttle...

    Looking to Mod

    I did the Gott's mod and used a Spectre air filter. Throttle response seems a little better. I'm looking to do the exhaust next. Might go to a couple of shops and see what they can do for me and how much it will cost. Is one system better over the other? for example, Magna Flow over Flow...

    Looking to Mod

    I'm not seeing the Edge CS model for my year Expedition (2004). But I did find the "Super Chips" tuner for $300 and change. Is the Super Chips Cortex 1950 the only option for me? Also, what vendors are you guys getting your stuff from?? I'd like to start off with a ECM programmer of some...

    Looking to Mod

    The Gotts Mod looks easy enough. Is there any benefit to putting a high flow filter in place of the stock one and removing the enclosure. In other words just leaving it open and exposed in the engine compartment. This is how many of us run the K&N's on the turbo charged Grand Nationals...

    Looking to Mod

    New member and I've had my 2004 XLT since new. I don't drive her often as I have a company car. But I have been driving her on long trips lately and I'm looking to do some mods to increase HP, Fuel Effeciency and appearance. What are some good mods and products to start with first. Is a chip...
