    2008 stereo upgrade

    I decided I wanted bluetooth and XM, so last weekend I replaced the head unit in my 08. I installed a Pioneer AVH-X3800BHS and a SiriusXM SXV300v1 XM module. I also used a Metra XSVI-5520-NAV wiring harness and a Metra 95-5812 double DIN mounting kit. I also needed a Metra 40-CR10 antenna...

    removing center roof console

    My 08 has a center roof console that has a sunglasses holder and a convex mirror to see the back seat. Does anyone know how to remove this from the ceiling/headliner? I might need to get in that area above the headliner. Thanks!

    05 radio install help

    Not anymore. The installation accessories used to be free from Crutchfield. Now you purchase them at a "discounted" price. I just bought a Pioneer DVD stereo to replace the stock unit in my '08. I ended up saving $100 by buying the same unit and install accessories from Amazon instead of...

    Why an Expedition?

    I had been driving a 1991 full size Bronco EB Edition for the past few years. A couple of years ago, I wanted something a little more comfortable for the wife and I. I have always been a Ford truck fan, and I bought a used Explorer for my son to drive and really liked it, although it was a bit...

    Windshield washer not working

    I have a 2008 XLT. Went to use the windshield washer on Saturday and nothing came out of the jets. Filled the reservoir and the rear washer worked, but not the front. Undid the hose at the coupler near the firewall, washer fluid pumps out just fine. When I put an airhose to it, I can hear air...

    WHAT TOOL have you bought recently?

    I guess the last tool I bought was a Porter-Cable 1/2" 20v L-ion cordless drill a couple of months back. Got a nice deal on the drill and 2 batteries at Lowe's.

    Rear A/C Blows Cold, Sometimes Warm, and Sometimes Hot..

    When I had this problem with my 2008, it was the TXV valve.

    Junkyard key

    You're awful hung up on this key thing. I bought my 2011 earlier this year and it came with 1 key and 1 fob. Guess what, I bought 2 fobs off of Amazon for about $30 and bought two keys from the dealer and had them program them. Cost was about $140. It is what it is. Yes, $140 for two keys is...

    1st time Ford Owner

    Sounds like deferred/neglected maintenance is the cause of most of your issues more than anything else. I wouldn't blame most of this on Ford.

    How comfortable is your Expedition?

    For the past several years, I have been driving a 1991 Bronco Eddie Bauer. Compared to that, the 2008 Expedition XLT I bought in May is like riding in a Lincoln Continental. I would rate it 9/10.

    More a/c problems

    I am recovering from foot surgery so I ended up taking the Expy to my dealer. They replaced the ac compressor and TXV valve, they also found the bottom half of the fan shroud was missing and I had a bad rf axle seal. Also I asked them to check out the TPMS since the light has been on since I...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Technically I didn't do it, but the dealer did. I took my '08 in for a few items: oil change, ac problems, and the TPMS light stays on. I have only had this truck since May and since July I have been laid up with a bum foot from surgery, so I haven't been able to take care of much since then...

    More a/c problems

    Hi, I bought my 2008 XLT in May and have slowly been working through some issues with it. My biggest issue now is that my a/c isn't working correctly. The front vents blow warm air most of the time, if I drive long enough it starts to feel a little cooler, but the rear a/c seems to be working...

    Leaky expy

    Thanks for the tip....but I hadn't been using my vehicle. It had been sitting for a couple of days and it rained one morning. I went to drive it later that day and found the puddle of water on the driver's side mat. This has happened a couple of times, as you know it doesn't rain very much here.
