    Just hit 165,000 miles, need some advice

    My truck feels like it's lost a lot of power over the course of 165,000 miles. I'm about to get a big bonus and I want to bring my truck in to get it tuned up and some maintenance done. What typically needs replacing/tuning/cleaning at 165k miles?

    Transmission slipping?

    I have a 2006 Expedition Limited with 165,000 miles on it. I don't think the transmission has ever had any work done to it. When I'm going about 60 MPH and try to accelerate, I can feel the car jerking a little...for the longest time I just though I was hitting bumps on the road until recently I...

    Just my luck...

    I parked this morning thinking..."it's Monday and this Friday is my birthday. Someone is going to hit my car." Those were literally my thoughts. After being parked for no more than an hour, I walked out of class to find this: The bumper is cracked pretty bad in the back and will need to...

    2006 Expedition Limited: Replace 4R75W with 4R100

    I have a 5.4L engine with the 4R75E transmission (I believe) and I'm wondering if anyone has ever replaced this transmission with the 4r100? Or does anyone know if the 4r100 is interchangeable with the 4r75e? I'm looking to do a diesel swap and I can't find an adaptor plate for my current...

    Video of my RE SX 18"

    My iPhone doesn't pick up the flex very good...In person, it looks like its flexing twice as much. Trust me. ITS LOUD. I'm worried about my back window breaking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aik_NEzqQAg If that doesn't work try this link: http://youtu.be/watch?v=Aik_NEzqQAg

    Pictures of my 0.25% tint

    Here we go! Pictures of my 0.25% tint. I also have 15% on my entire windshield. On top of that I have a 15" strip. All of the tint is Llumar ATR. I know my Expy needs some cleaning. I'm detailing it this weekend. Side view: Windshield: Heres a picture of the 0.25% side windows...

    Blacking out chrome headlights

    I spent my day turning my old stock chrome headlights into awesomeness. From start to finish the project probably took about 6 hours, but the end results speak for themselves. Before: No turning back now! 200 degrees F for 12 minutes. Now we're getting somewhere! Wet-sanding...

    Projector Retrofit

    Opinions? Once again...It's not letting me actually include in picture in the post. Sorry...It's in IMG tags, just doesn't want to work.

    Does anyone have the Triple Dog GT?

    I was looking into buying one to help me save gas. My college is 30 minutes away and I have to make the trip every day. Does anyone have any feedback on this unit?

    Can't get the headlights open!

    Well today I decided to start working on my latest project: Retrofitting Acura TSX projectors into my stock Expy headlights. I read a few guides on how to do it and the project is well in my comfort zone. I popped one of my headlights in the oven at 225F for 15 minutes and then tried to pull...

    6000k HIDs vs Stock (Pics)

    Well my HIDs survived the wreck, so I decided to reinstall them this afternoon. Took a few pictures for everyone's viewing pleasure. Best place to mount ballasts IMO: Note: The headlights appear pure white in person. It's not letting me embed pictures for some reason. Sorry for links.

    Got my expy back from the shop!!!

    About 3 months ago I wrecked my Expedition. :bawl: Before the wreck: After the wreck... After what felt like a decade, I raised the funds required for the repairs. She just came in tonight. I'll post some better pictures tomorrow. My only complaint is that the...

    Replaced head unit...now the truck won't start.

    Well my dad has a 2004 or 2005 expedition. I've replaced several head units in Expeditions, but none with an alarm like this. It has a PowerCode security system installed by the factory. The volume knob went out on his head unit...so to be nice I gave him my stock head unit from my 2006 Limited...

    Legit tweeter location

    You don't notice them unless you look and the airflow isn't disrupted much. Opinions appreciated.

    Does anyone have any experience with 55 watt 3000k HIDs?

    I don't like to follow trends. Everyone around here is running like 12,000k HID kits and they're starting to get old IMO. People think the higher the color temperature, the cooler they are...I saw some kid running 30,000k pink a few days ago bragging about how he ran 30,000k's. Well I want to do...

    Don't tint your windshield...lol

    It'll be the most badass thing you've done to your Expy until this happens and you get SUED! (Apparently it caused the accident) I knew I should have invested in some road armour! lol ^ Anyone know what that cracked piece is called? It's the thing that holds the headlights, etc...

    4" In the front, 2" in the back? Opinions?

    I'm thinking 2" body lift front and back, with 2"coil spacers in the front? I want it to look nearly stock, but I like that bulldog look. Keeping my stock rims and tires. Too much, too little? Opinions appreciated.

    Just got in a wreck...

    Well I got in a wreck about 2 weeks ago and my Expedition has been at ford until yesterday. I was hit in the front passenger corner right at about where my headlight is. The damage doesn't seem too too bad. I will need a new front end though. Ford estimated $7000 in repairs...That is ridiculous...
