    Loose rear HVAC duct

    I recently upgraded Expeditions from a 1999 EB to a 2012 Limited. I kept hearing a rattling noise in the rear area of the Limited when I would drive over a rough patch in the road, but just thought it was the seats making noise. About a week ago, I noticed condensation on the outside and rear...

    Get rid of the AirTex fuel pump and go with a Motorcraft unit from RockAuto.

    Broken Coil harness plug

    Found a few online between $10-$26 each, so I'll be heading to the junk yard soon. Probably wouldn't spend more than $5.00 for a full set.

    Broken Coil harness plug

    I was changing my coil boots the other day, chasing a miss and a clip on one of the plugs that hooks onto the top of the coils broke. Now it won't clip into place and stay. I tried using electrician's tape to hold the plug in place, but it didn't work. Does anyone know if you can buy a repair...

    about to set 1999 expedition on FIRE, HELP please!

    Your best bet is to drop the tank and replace the entire assembly with a Motorcraft unit. RockAuto has good prices on them. If you bought the Airtrex from Napa or Autozone, get a refund.

    about to set 1999 expedition on FIRE, HELP please!

    Just want to ask a simple question that I might have missed the answer to earlier in the thread, but what brand fuel pump did you use? When mine died, I went through 3 Airtex pumps that all did what you're describing. If I tried to accelerate from a rolling stop, my truck would fall flat on...

    Factory sub replaced

    Did you try wiring the amp output to a new speaker? I had to cut the plug off of mine where it connected to the factory sub in order to hook up my new sub. Any 8" subwoofer will work, but you might have to modify the box. I'm not sure if "a standard" means a speaker or another amp. If...

    Factory sub replaced

    That's what I thought too. An easy way to test it is to grab a speaker, if you have one lying around, and hook it up to the output side of the amp to see if it will play. I had no power coming out of my amp until I hooked up the new sub. There's a built in safety shut-off for the amp to keep...

    Factory sub replaced

    If your EB is a Gen1 with the Mach Audio system, then it has a sub. If you have no bass at all (like I did when I got mine), then your sub is probably blown. Ford designed the system to turn the bass off to avoid damaging anything if the sub goes out. Replace the sub and you should be good to...

    1st Gen Gotts Mod. Trial and Error.

    If you have a local exhaust shop, go and ask for a drop piece of 3" pipe that's about 4"-6" long (probably free). You can use the 3" coupler and tighten it down onto the exhaust pipe and cram it over the end of the filter housing. That's how I did mine and I didn't have to worry about sanding...

    Rear Wiper

    The rear wipers are notorious for going bad, but no, there's no battery back there. I would suggest turning on your rear wiper while the key is in the "on" position, then grabbing the rear wiper arm and (gently) moving it up and down to see if it starts working. I have to do this to mine after...

    Aftermarket Nav/Stereo Upgrade Suggestions

    Take a look at the Pioneer AVIC-Z140BT. It has in-dash Nav, DVD and smart phone connectivity, and you can use your steering wheel controls with the proper adapter. It was replaced by the AVIC-Z150BH (*coughs - $1,500*), but you can still get the Z140BT on Amazon new for around $650.

    Looking for VHS Player

    You could try emailing this guy: 01 Ford Expedition Overhead TV DVD VHS Screen | eBay He's got the screen only listed for $100, but might be able to hook you up with the VHS unit.

    Thinking of picking this up...thoughts?

    The interior was toast. Exterior was in good shape, but it looked like someone had turned 20 kids loose on the inside with orange soda, scissors and a pack of sharpies. Someone had actually painted the lighter sections in the middle seats to hide the stains. No kidding; they literally spray...

    Thinking of picking this up...thoughts?

    Thanks, I asked him about that earlier, and he told me he would pull the carfax report for me, if I wanted it. I'd certainly want to see it first, before buying just to be sure there weren't any hidden issues.

    Thinking of picking this up...thoughts?

    The 2nd row is captain seats, from what he told me. I haven't seen it yet, but he said it doesn't have any rust on it anywhere. I'll be sure to look for bubbling on the rear door and hood. Thanks for the head's up.

    Thinking of picking this up...thoughts?

    I found a guy selling this locally and it looks like it's in good shape. He's asking $7,950 for it, which seems like a good price for a 2004 EB with 4WD and 130k miles. Just looking for some advice before I make a decision. I've got a Gen1 EB now with 200k on it, but would like something a...

    1999 Eddie Bauer 4x4

    +1 I do the same thing. Holding the filter at an upward angle, I disconnect the line that's the highest first and cap it. Then you can tilt that side down and disconnect the other line without having to worry about too much fuel running out of the filter. Just be careful to keep your...

    Low mile 5.4 for $600

    Saw this ad this morning. I don't know the guy selling it, but thought I would pass this along incase someone in this area was looking for a good motor. $600 for a low mile 5.4 out of a '00 F250. Sounds like a pretty good deal. '00 5.4 Triton Motor with low miles

    Drywall Screw

    You should be able to manually move one of the rods up/down to open the door from inside the truck with the panel off, even if the handles are off. One rod locks/unlocks the door, and the other will open it. You might have to push down on it (or, alternatively, up) pretty hard to get it to...

    Drivebelt wont go back on

    I have a scar on my right arm from the fan housing cutting into my arm while trying to put my serpentine belt back on for the same reason you're having trouble now. I basically had to pry the heck out of the tensioner to get enough slack to put the belt back on to the alternator. I'm not sure...

    Mach sound system sub isn't working?

    If you mean that a normal sub won't fit because of the factory box, then it's really a simple fix. The factory sub is mounted through the back of the subwoofer box with a bolt and the entire subwoofer assembly has to come out to remove it. Once you have it out, the hump where the mounting bolt...

    Mach sound system sub isn't working?

    If your sub is completely blown, the amp will be disabled to avoid any further damage. It's part of how the Mach systems work. I had the exact issue you described and replaced my sub with a new one and it worked perfectly after that. If you have any extra speakers lying around, hook some...

    Removing eddie baurer pinstripe

    My paint is so faded and cloudy, it would leave a noticeable mark once removed. I would definitely have to replace it with something, but would rather not use actual paint unless I had the car buffed and resprayed first. I wonder if a vinyl shop could make a one-off run of a graphic like that...
