    Struts

    I replaced my wife's Navigator stuts with KYBs. Very happy with them. Firmer than stock, but not harsh.

    Parts that last

    I used a Dorman replacement window regulator 749-543. They used to be very marginal at best. The window regulator appears to be greatly improved over the 2010 OEM installed one. It seemed more rigid, had reinforcements and improved cable guides. VERY happy with it. I don't cheap out on critical...

    Missing caps

    I'm not clear on the year of your Expedition other than 07 to present. With that said, however, RockAuto has them listed under "Brake/Wheel/Hub" then "Caliper Guide Pin Boot Kit" Those for a 07-09 are only $6.98 plus shipping. In case you're not familiar, click the part number, and a fitment...

    Planning a Long Drive - What should I take with me?

    I have a Lincoln Navigator with similar mileage and wouldn't hesitate to drive long distance at all. Remember, they are essentially an F-150 with extra seats. By that, I mean they are identical in many ways to the rugged work trucks that are used day after day in the worst environments with few...

    Maps/Sync update...... TOO MUCH MONEY!!

    I bought the update for my wife's Navigator. It seemed a total waste of time and money. I had anticipated the possibility of slightly improved graphics or user features. It's the same 1996 looking map! The other thing that surprised me is that I keep getting letters to renew it months afterward!

    2016 Floor Mats

    You might consider a roll of mat material and create your own by making a template from builders paper (available at any big box home improvement store). I used this material in my wife's Navi for the rears..... Rubber Cal Rubber-Cal Diamond-Plate Rubber Floor Mats - 1/8 x 48-inch Rubber...

    HVAC blower motor out again!

    I've replaced a few also, but thanks to Motorcraft's warranty (24 months) and RockAuto, I'm only out a little shipping.

    HVAC blower motor out again!

    Did you perform the ground wire upgrade TSB 08-9-1? Mine was blowing out often until I did the upgrade. Its easily done yourself. You don't really need the Ford "kit"

    08 Expy EL XLT - some questions/help

    Put Homelink in my Escape. Put it in my dash near my right knee since a retro for the visors was too complex. Even though it's buried low in the car near a sheet stell plate, the range is good. It works well.

    What do y'all think?

    Those wheels look great. They might look even better in the Dark Grey that I've seen on the new F-150s.

    Engine Rattle/Knock

    Once you fix it PLEASE STOP USING MOBIL 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The crap they sell at the store is NOT the same as the racing oil. Lots of Chevy LS engines have catastrophic failures with it. Look on Bob the Oil Guy forums. WalMart Motorcraft oil is inexpensive and OEM.

    07 Expedition Limited with intermittent A/C

    May be the ground problem that others have had (including myself). I did my own ground mod and did NOT buy any parts, but used wire and connectors I already had. REFER TO Technical Service Bulletin ........ 08-9-1 EATC BLOWER INTERMITTENTLY INOPERATIVE - STUCK ON HIGH/OFF Publication...

    Drivers side window broken: Check!

    I used a Dorman from RockAuto. I agree that some of their items are marginal (control arms, ball joints, tie-rod ends) The window regulators, however, are an improvement from stock. The body seemed beefier and more rigid. The cable guides were also better.More Information for DORMAN 749543
