    What are you towing?

    The 3.73 option seems to not have been a popular one. It took me awhile to find mine when I started shopping for a used Expy. Be patient - they ARE out there, you just have to keep looking. I do think it was silly to not make it standard with the HD towing package, but that's how they were sold...

    How to fix this????

    My steering wheel looks pretty bad too. Thanks for the suggestion - I've never heard of SEM Classic Coat but will give it a try.

    Dim Message Center

    No, the lights were as is now - I bought it used a year ago. There was a time a few months back that the message center was bright, but then it went dim again. I did some web surfing after the link above was posted and it appears this is a common Ford problem - some trucks have the digital...

    Thanks for the info. I also updated my cp with a signature line. It was in my profile but didn't show on my posts.

    Dim Message Center

    Our '08 message center display is on a dim setting at all times as if the headlights were on - during the daytime it still stays dim and is very hard or impossible to read in bright light. I cannot figure out if there is a setting that got changed that I can undo back to day mode, or if it is a...

    What are you towing?

    An Expy should be able to easily haul a 3,100lb load no matter what the gear ratio is: though as others have said, a higher ratio will work better. 3.73 is a stock ratio but going to 4.xx ratio would require re-gearing an axle ($$$). Mine gets what I consider great milege with the 3.73 axle, so...

    What are you towing?

    '08 Expy with heavy duty tow package and 3.73 gears. I tow a 6,500lb boat/trailer combo and have no problems. I do stay out of O/D and 65mph or below.

    Popping Noise From Rear A/C Blower '03 Expo

    After learning that I couldn't simply leave it off, I did this and it worked. The actuator arm doesn't move and I now have it permanently on the roof position.

    Popping Noise From Rear A/C Blower '03 Expo

    Update: this does not work. The damper, with the actuator arm removed, was left free to rotate and moved back to the floor position on its own. I'll need to freeze/glue the actuator arm in position and then reinstall it to hold the damper in place.

    Popping Noise From Rear A/C Blower '03 Expo

    +1. I also just want mine blowing through the roof vents, so I simply rotated the control to that position and removed the actuator. If it was in roof position I could have just as easily unplugged it, but it was on the floor position so I had to remove the three screws holding it in place to...

    Rear A/C won't blow from overhead, but is blowing from down below. Help please

    I had the same problem with a '99 Explorer - very common on that model too and it is evidently the same part/unit (or very similar). The internals are simply a plastic gear that strips and all you have to do is rotate it to the position needed; there's nothing complicated about it. On the...

    Using O/D while towing or not

    Well, the trip is already history so this post is for the record... but here's one other thing I was thinking while reading your original post. You're asking for towing advice pertaining to a 175 mile tow and worried if using O/D could hurt your transimssion. Lessee here and think this one...

    How to lift rear 1"?

    edit: I looked at Rancho's site and found the rears that seem to go with the link that you provided, but it does not say if it lifts the rear too (part #RS999941 for the right rear; there's another one for the left rear). Does anyone know?

    How to lift rear 1"?

    That lifts the front, not the rear. Does Rancho make a similar product for the rear?

    3/2” lift – Not so pleased with…

    ... it would take a lot more weight than that to pull down the front. If you offroad it, a winch in front might weigh it down enough.

    Rear A/C won't blow from overhead, but is blowing from down below. Help please

    I didn't have time to get to it myself but will probably do the same thing for the moment - just manually turn the switch until I get the part.

    Thanks for the photo - that looks like an easy fix. I'll look at it this weekend.
