    Anyone have an idea why the distance on the nav and the right dash screen don’t match? Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

    Cleaned up the rear view

    I took the badges off my 15. Then I tinted the 3rd brake light. I already replaced the bulbs with LEDs. This is 2 coats of tint and 3 coats of clear. I’m happy with the way it turned out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Ecoboost Oil Change

    Whoever designed the Ecoboost is these probably said "Oil changes are not my problem". I get the front up on ramps and use an small impact driver to get the cover off. Not a big deal. Drain the oil. Not a big deal. Replace the filter without making a mess. There's the problem.

    Replaced the 07

    It's been a while since I've stopped in. In the last couple of months my 07 started having problems. After a fuel pump fiasco we decided to replace it. Last week I brought home a 2015 Expedition EL. Tuxedo black. HD tow package. 3.73 gears. Heated/cooled leather. Nav. More stuff I probably...

    MacGyver Moment

    I was taking the camper out last weekend and had to get it hooked up to the truck. I don't have a backup camera and no one else was home. After a couple of unsuccessful tries I realized that I could control my camera with my iPod or iPhone. I wrapped the wrist strap around the tailgate handle...

    Gibson Exhaust

    Last weekend I added the Gibson Swept Side stainless exhaust to my 07. The biggest problem was getting the pipe that goes over the rear suspension off. Ford adds a weight to the pipe that just fits through the opening it goes through. I ended up cutting the pipe in 3 pieces. (I really need a...

    Discovered Something

    I was changing the serpentine belt today and found something I've never heard anyone talk about. I was trying to get the belt on the lower pulleys and trying to reach around the lower fan shroud. First I noticed that it felt loose. I found that there are holes on the both edges that should have...

    Hard Steering

    I have an 07 with almost 67,000 miles on it. In the last few weeks the steering has gotten hard. I did a little research and found that the u-joints in the lower steering shaft get stiff. I sprayed them with some WD-40 and the steering got easier. Has anyone had any luck pulling the shaft out...

    These things have a lot if black plastic

    I washed the Expedition today. When I was done all the plastic trim pieces looked like gray crap. I have the Meguires black trim restorer so I thought now is a good time to try it. It went on easy. The piece I tried looks good. Now I was committed to doing it all. Mirrors, roof rack and...

    Driveway Adventure

    We are getting our driveway dug up and replaced. They are going to take out the old blacktop that is there now and put down crush and run. We will live on that for a month to month and a half. Then they will come back, level it where it settles and and put down the blacktop. They are also...

    Air Suspension Problem After Battery Replaced

    I had to replace the battery in my 07 this week. Now the rear air bags are deflated and the compressor is not running. I have checked he fuses and they are all good. I have seen something about resetting the system after the battery is replaced. Anyone have any ideas where the reset is? It...

    P0159 code

    On Christmas Eve I started getting a CEL. I hooked up my Superchips tuner and I'm getting P0159 O2 sensor circ slow response (bank2-sensor2) . I could clear it and it will come back. Sometimes within 10 miles. Sometimes a couple of hundred miles. I just ordered the O2 sensor and I will replace...

    8 Plugs Replaced

    None broken. I only have 54,500 miles on the truck. I wanted to do it sooner than later. I pulled the coils off and labeled them. I blew everything out with compressed air. Then sprayed WD-40 penetrant (not the standard WD-40) in all the plug holes. I let it sit for about 15 minutes then...

    Back from vacation

    We went down to Williamsburg Virginia for the week. About 1100 miles of towing the 7000 lb parachute and not one problem. The campground was nice and quiet. We went to Busch Gardens 4 days. The kids had a great time. It's been 25 years since my wife and I have been there. It is a beautiful park...

    Windshield mounted GPS

    I'm surprised Ii haven't heard more about this. Windshield mounts illegal in 28 states? | GPS Tracklog I use a Garmin Oregon 450 on a mount on the windshield. I keep it low and to the left of the steering wheel. It lines up with the registration and inspection stickers.

    Brought the truck home

    Over the last few months I have been hearing a ticking noise at startup I recognized As an exhaust leak. Last Wednesday I dropped the truck off at the dealer to look at it and he fan control didn't change the speed between 2&3. Thursday I got a call that both exhaust manifolds were leaking. They...

    Flats Suck

    I got up at 5:30 this morning to get my daughter to the pool for a swim meet. It was dark and foggy. We get everything in the Expedition to be at the pool at 7:30. I start it up and get a low tire pressure message. The right rear was low. I hooked the hose to the compressor and fill the tire. I...

    Change plugs or not on an 07

    I just turned 40,000 miles on my 07. I have always been able to changed plugs on anything. I'm seeing the horror stories about plug replacement in the 3 valve engines and broken plugs. I hate the idea of taking it to the dealer to do something I can do and the possibility of a $1000+ bill. I'm...

    Wheelskins

    One of the first thing I did when I got my Expedition was to get a Wheelskins for the steering wheel. I had one on my F150 before that and liked the way it felt. A couple of weeks ago the lace broke and I took it off. I forgot how rough and uncomfortable the plastic of the steering wheel is. I...

    07 shocks

    It looks like everyone makes shocks for the front. I have the rear air suspension. Other than stock who makes good rear shocks for the rear air suspension?

    Fuel Filter

    Who in their right mind puts a filter on top of a tank with two different fittings on three hoses? I'm over 30,000 miles and figured it was due. I relieved the pressure in the line and crawled under the truck with the tool for one fitting. Under five minutes. Then it took half an hour to get...

    Fuel Filter Change

    I'm about to change the fuel filter on my 2007. I found the filter and have the tool to take the hose off the single side of the filter. The side with 2 hoses has what looks like a different kind of clamp. How do I release those clamps?
