    Digital broadcast TV for the rear seat entertainment system

    Good evening everyone. Not something that i would really need to do, but just playing around in my head what it would take to get a digital broadcast TV signal to the rear seat screen through the RCA jacks. Would a digital to analog antenna, connected to an old school VCR (plugged in through...

    Tread pieces for running boards. 2006 Limited

    The black "plastic" tread pieces from my 2006 Limited have faded quite a bit. I tried cleaning them with various scrubbing pads and abrasive cleaners to try to remove any possible oxidation. Still the light grey color remains on the driver's side. The passenger side looks much closer to...

    weird noise, 2003 eddie bauer

    The vacuum lines that had the leaks were the ones that were right behind the battery. I had taken the Expedition to two other shops (one being a Ford dealer). The first thought it was the material inside the catalytic converter rattling around, and the Ford dealer said they couldn't find the...

    weird noise, 2003 eddie bauer

    So, as a follow-up to the post on my 2006 limited. Was advised that the vacuum line(s) had pinhole leaks in them, which was causing the noise from the actuator(s). Hopefully this will take care of it.

    weird noise, 2003 eddie bauer

    My 2006 Limited 4WD seems to be doing the exact seem thing. It makes a very similar noise in 2WD (without the bang), and it seems to go away when I put it in 4Auto. Going to have it looked at next week. Looking forward to hopefully getting this resolved.

    occasional Ssshhhh-ing sound under load

    Dear all, I am hoping that someone on this forum can offer me a little guidance. First, my Expy is a 2006 Limited 4X4, with 89,000 miles on it. Recently I noticed while driving up grades or anytime there is any more than a flat and level "load" on the engine, I will hear an occasional sound...

    Parking Emergency Brake Adjustment

    Okay, I think I understand now. I had never seen that there are separate brake shoes for the parking brakes that are not visible by looking at the brake rotor from the outside. Looking at a parts list and diagram showed me how they are actually setup. Learn something new every day. Thank you...

    Parking Emergency Brake Adjustment

    I couldn't find information that was helpful to me in the thread above. My 2006 Limited has 4-wheel disk brakes (instead of disk/drums). Does anyone know if the parking brakes on the Expeditions with disk brakes are adjustable, or can be tightened?? Mine will absolutely not hold the vehicle...

    2nd row console options

    I built my own using 1/2" MDF, Indoor/outdoor carpet, foam padding, waterproof camo fabric and a drop in double cupholder that i found on ebay. It is held in place with a 1" military surplus web strap attached to the LATCH brackets on the middle seat in the second row. It isn't the most...

    Steering Wheel replacement question

    Dear all, Reading the thread about the gentleman that replaced the steering wheel in his 2018 Expedition with the unit from a Raptor got me to thinking about my 2006 Limited (just not the Raptor part). My daily driver is a 2007 Fusion SEL. The steering wheel controls seem to me to be laid...

    Front Seat Replacements?

    I've got a 2006 Limited, and they have the front seats with the movable headrests. I think the Limited and King Ranch may have been the only trim level that had the movable front headrests. Easiest thing would be to probably look for seats from a Limited model.

    Surfboard pads for factory roof rack cross bars

    Neilster1, I had tried pool noodles previously, and wasn't that impressed with the way they fit. I ended up buying a pair of "Dorsal" surfboard pads off Amazon. They seem like they'll fit good and should work well. Thank you for the reply.

    Surfboard pads for factory roof rack cross bars

    Good morning/afternoon all! I was wondering if anyone can make a recommendation for pads for the factory crossbars on an Expedition to protect a surfboard or SUP when being carried up there. The width of the crossbars is a little over 2" and is the aerodynamic type. If there is a brand or...

    Those puzzle-piece gym floor mats

    I have the Husky Liner version in my '06. It does roll up, as that was how it was shipped in the cardboard box when i bought it.

    2007+ Head unit into 2006 Limited w/ Rear entertainment screen

    Brian, The idea is more for my old iPod classic than for my phone. I've got one of those RF transmitters that plugs into the power port that i use, but was just hoping for something a little better. Looking at 2006 vs. 2007 head units for sale on ebay (just so I can compare the size of them...

    2007+ Head unit into 2006 Limited w/ Rear entertainment screen

    Good morning all! I was wondering if anyone had ever tried to install a head unit from a 2007 (and up) Expedition into a 2006 or earlier (especially one that has the factory rear seat entertainment system). The reason I ask this is because I would really like to be able to add an aux port like...

    Battery Draining

    Good morning. I hope that someone can provide some insight. My 2006 Expedition Limited seems to want to drain the battery down after about 14 days of sitting in the driveway without being driven. Would the standard Ford alarm system run the battery down after this relatively short amount of...

    Cargo shade

    From researching this a year or so ago, I don't think that Ford ever made one for the Expy (although there appears to be provisions for one in my father's 2010 Explorer. Although it doesn't retract, I ended up making my own for my 2006. I had some 1.9 oz Multicam ripstop nylon at the house...

    Fan cooled LEDs for Fog Lights (2006 Limited)

    Good morning all! I was wondering if anyone had tried using these fan cooled LED bulbs (H10) in their stock foglight housings for a Gen 2 Expedition. If so, how do you like them, and is there any problems with water or mud splashing up and messing up the little fans sticking out the back...

    Blue Seas fuse box

    There is nothing holding me back from doing it. I can very easily drill a couple of holes and mount it up to the side of the engine bay. I just figured that if others on this forum may have mounted something in that same area, they may have made a custom bracket or something that would work or...

    Blue Seas fuse box

    Good morning everyone! I am looking to mount a Blue Seas fuse box for the LED lights on my safari basket. I would like to mount it between the driver side headlight and the air intake box, as there seems to be some nice space there. I am trying to figure out the best way to mount it. If...

    Roof mounted LED & HID off road lights

    10K, That sounds like just what i am looking for. For the HID lights I am thinking that I would need a minimum of 14 gauge, with 12 being better. I can't find any 4 pin connectors that use wiring that heavy.

    Roof mounted LED & HID off road lights

    Gentlemen, Good morning. I am wondering if anyone can give me some ideas for a project I am working on with my Expedition. I put together a temporary light bar for use occasionally. It utilizes a pair of old halogen "Rally" lights that I had used when I owned an '86 4Runner. I have since...

    Front Passenger power port

    Got the amazon sourced unit (mentioned by ManUpOrShutUp) bought and installed the other day. Real simple installation. Had to file off some tabs on the center console to get it to fit, but it was a 15 - 20 minute installation, tops. Used a pair of "wire tap-ins" to get the power to the new...
