    So, how do I know if i have "Intelligent Access" aka proximity door locks?

    2015 Limited. I have Push to Start. However, my doors dont unlock when I grab the handle. My wife has a 2014 Explorer Sport and hers do. I am guessing the easy way to tell is if there is a sensor in the door handle? Or do some of these not have the sensors?

    What did you do to the expy today

    I sold one and bought one. Let my 2008 EB go, and picked up a 2015 Limited.

    Telescoping Steering Wheel Problem

    I dont know. I think I am assuming it does because the switch is a 4 way switch.

    Telescoping Steering Wheel Problem

    Just got a new (to me) 2015 Limited. Having this same issue. Up and down fine, but in and out does nothing. I missed it on the test drive. Fortunately, it is at a comfortable position, so I am not super excited to fix it, but sometime this summer I will stick my head up under there.

    What is this thingy?

    I am looking to replace my 2008 Expedition. I saw an online ad, and one thing that jumped out at me was the thing in the picture. It is only on the passenger side. This is a 2015 Platinum I am looking at. Any idea what it is?

    How much disassembly to do full timing setup? 2008

    Okay, so I did this job last week. I DID end up taking out the coolant reservoir/air box, but I think if you are just doing phasers, you can simply detach the coolant line to the reservoir and get the valve cover off that way. I of course took much more out than that because I did all the...

    How much disassembly to do full timing setup? 2008

    I want to do timing chains, guides, tensioners, phasers (locked out), and oil pump on my 2008. I dont know the providence of this truck, and its making a lot of racket. My problem is that I tried to start this project last weekend, and after nearly 3 hours, I couldnt get the driver side valve...

    My 2010 sounds like an actual diesel at idle

    Okay, so I have to ressurect this thread in hopes that @Stinky_1 sees this. I have a 2008, which is by most accounts identical under the hood to the 2010. I went to take the driver valve cover off this weekend, but it wouldnt come off. I had the harness out of the way, the bolts undone, the...

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    Oh they did tell me (and I knew anyway). They tried to tell me $60 (it was actually $37.50) per plug for extraction if they break. I got pissy about that with them simply because I expected them to "make it right" for the customer considering the spark plug design was poop. I resigned myself...

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    I did start there, although I read the TSB and I didn't find it particularly helpful. They said they followed it, but I am not surprised it didn't work. I think some of these mom and pop shops who have "adapted" the TSB to a better procedure probably have a better time with it. I just don't...

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    Okay, update. So I went down and talked with the service manager in person. You can probably guess how that went. "Gee, sorry for your luck, it sucks, but we aren't a charity" type conversation. Net of it, they offered $900 off pulling the cylinder head, which made the spark plug change a...

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    They did 4 plugs, broke 3, extracted 2. They quoted $3850 to finish the job. I talked to the service manager and he threw his service rep under the bus. Said he should never have suggested a new engine. They lowered to $2950, and they are going to try to extract again before that. They...

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    This is a ******* racket. They are suggesting I replace the ENGINE. For SPARK PLUGS.

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    Took my 2008 into the dealership for a miss in the engine. They called spark plugs. I said fine replace them, and they ended up breaking 3 of 4 so far with one unextractable. So now they are telling me that I have to have the head removed to get the other one out. No help from the dealer or...

    So... 2008 rocker panel repairs. Weld or glue?

    my 2008 has rocker rot. I am more than happy to tackle it. I can limit the work to the bottom, unseen portion of the rocker. Question is, do I weld or glue? And before that even... stainless or carbon steel? Both can be welded, but can stainless be glued? Just started investigating...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Yeah, it's too much for me too. Rule of thumb, you shouldn't be able to see tread from the front of the car. Exceptions exist though

    iPad Mini Frame - 3D printed

    The interior is wood grain and silver metallic. Wood grain is possible with hydro graphics, just gotta find a matching grain, which I have been thus far unable to do. I did start soldering up the electrical connectors. It's a pogo pin and flat target set up. Cordless setup. See below

    iPad Mini Frame - 3D printed

    So I had this (not original) idea to use an iPad Mini as a stereo interface (and hopefully a backup camera display someday), and so I got working on modifying a panel to make it work. It worked, but I didn't have access to the original head unit (bouncing around under the dash), and my...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Okay, so I got some renders of the frame. The fist one shows the front. It has recesses for the buttons, a slot for the lightning cable, and a groove at the top that I am going to put the magnetic strip from a smart cover. The back is open to allow access to the stock radio behind it should...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Eh... so I finished the bloody thing, and I think I am going to scrap it. I had to shift the environmental controls down about 1/4", but even that small amount made them interfere with the clip holes in the dash panel. It FITS... kind of. I could clearance (read: grind) a couple places and be...

    Usa-spec bt45

    This is 3 months in, and it still works perfect. I haven't had a single issue with not connecting, dropped audio, or anything. I still highly recommend this for models that don't have Sync or Bluetooth already built in.
