    2012 Expedition Running Boards Issue

    It's one of your door latches that is not making contact to send the signal for the running board to close. I have had that happen on my 09. The best way to find which latch it is is to open one of the doors on the affected side, and use something round like a phillips screwdriver and close the...

    Wind noise ... how to find source?

    Check your door weatherstripping and make sure it is all on good, and check your inner fender well. Compare all the seals to the other side of the vehicle. If the weatherstripping is off just a smidge it will cause issues.

    Scammed or Clueless? 2009 Expedition

    If the vehicle hasn't been touched then call the dealer and tell him you want a refund and ask him when he is going to send the tow truck.

    Scammed or Clueless? 2009 Expedition

    If the dealer wanted to uphold any kind of reputation, he should have immediately offered to have the car towed back to him on his dime. He should have sent a tow truck to pick it up. Having someone else work on it is going to give the dealer leverage on the severity of the problems and blame...

    stock to HID?

    I have a set of 09 limited headlights with Morimoto D2s projectors with ballasts. Wife did not like them so I put the stock lights back in. I installed some custom backlighting that shines on the reflectors and looks pretty cool with just the driving lights on. See the pics in my gallery. I will...

    Need a more humane interior for '09 ex-Forestry Expy SSV...

    If you want to save yourself a headache, just find expedition interior stuff that will all just be plug and play. I can guarantee you that seats from superduty models will not just bolt up. Ebay has tons of seats if you can't find anything local.

    Ready Struts for 2008 EL?

    I bought some cheap ready struts from Ebay, and yes they are much easier to swap, but I ended up returning them because they sucked really bad. My Expy bounced worse than with the the blown out rear that I had. The springs that came on them were smaller in diamaeter than the factory springs...

    Headlight mod - 2011 Expedition

    I like the Spyder set. I have seen the Anzo set on an Expedition and it just looked ricey to me. Are these able to use an HID setup, or are they just projectors for standard bulbs?

    07 Limited Headlight Issues [Question]

    You just have to be patient and keep looking on ebay. I did a projector retrofit and found the limited headlamps for about $50 each. Don't shy away from hazed lights either, some 2000 grit sandpaper and some rubbing compund and you can make them look brand new. Just make sure they are not...

    07 Limited Headlight Issues [Question]

    Not sure which fuses, you would have to check your manual. The light on the side is a bulb, you will see it when you remove the headlamp. It is a 194 bulb. The blinker/parking lamp bulb is a dual filament bulb so one can work without the other. You can remove your headlamp very easily in a...

    07 Limited Headlight Issues [Question]

    Replace your bulbs when you change your lamps, they probably shorted due to the water. If they do not light up when you replace them then check your fuses. The amber bulbs seem to lose their coatig nowadays from the heat so that's why you see pieces of amber. Most non OEM housings are ok but can...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Just replaced both VCT solenoids due to intermittent rough idle. I thought I would try these first before phasers/timing chains. Chains were tight and no broken guides. Engine is now VERY smooth. No more sounding like a roller coaster going up.....clack clack clack clack clack. Now to finish...
