    GD part number tail light pigtail

    It looks an awful lot like a WPT-1025. Picture is from the Motorcraft Connector Catalog. WPT1025 https://www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-Wire-Asy-P-WPT1025/dp/B004A2B9V8

    2008 Ford Expedition stuttering while driving at 40-50 mph

    Ha! I actually am having this exact issue, decided to see what info I could find. It's like a surging, most noticable around 1700 rpm, it dips and then catches up. My first thought was TCC solenoid, since the issue goes away when overdrive is turned off. It COULD be an ignition issue, but...

    Who else runs F150 wheels on their 3rd Gen?

    Yup, took a grinder and whacked about 1/4" off the axle, not even down to the threads. Just enough to get the center cap on.

    3rd row seat install

    Darn, I see you're in California. I've got a set sitting in my basement I'd love to get rid of, but yeah, you're going to need wiring to get them hooked up, I don't think the SSV came with it. Unless you want to build your own harness. The switches are just polarity changing switches going to...

    2022-2023 Foglight Trim/Bezel Swap

    Honestly, you're going to get just as durable a finish with a vinyl wrap as the stupid plastichrome, if not better. And you could do any color of chrome you wanted.

    Who else runs F150 wheels on their 3rd Gen?

    Got some takeoffs on mine! I think it looks pretty good compared to the old stock ones, and they actually hold air!

    Would like to see Ham, GMRS, CB radio installs on Gen 3 Expedition

    There is SO MUCH ROOM under the dashboard, you can easily mount that SVR200 under there, but that old Syntor might take some work. Do you have a subwoofer? If not, there's plenty of space behind the covers on that side. I've got my TYT base mounted beside the tunnel on the passenger side, the...

    Sleeping/storage platform for 3rd Gen Expedition

    Not exactly a sleeping platform, but it folds pretty close to the same height as the second row, so I can lay down and nap if I stick my feet through the middle seat, and I don't even have to take out the kids car seats. It would be super easy to add a battery box underneath where the third row...

    Looking for a phone mount that fits into the vent

    I would buy the Pro Clip mount myself, just bite the bullet and actually be happy with the results.

    Drastic drops/returns of oil pressure (5.4L 3v 2009)

    Mine did that exact thing for a while, then it spun a bearing. You might get lucky and be able to rebuild it, but if you're not going to do it and have a shop do it, you may as well spend the extra for a reman motor to get installed. Then you know it's going to work, you'll probably get another...

    Oil Filter: Is there a larger one that fits?

    The WIX 51087 is about 1.5" taller, same thread and gasket size, but you're going to run into clearance issues since it's so much bigger. And I don't see in my catalogs anything that's a whole lot wider, since the FL820S is already a pretty big around filter. You could probably get somebody to...

    Running Boards

    I've got the ones that rusted off my 2007 just collecting rainwater in the back yard right now. If you were closer I'd say come get 'em!

    Putting 2007 bumper end back in place?

    There's little clips molded into the bumper cover that need to snap into the quarter panel. If they're damaged or bent it's not going to lock into place. You may have to actually remove the fasteners in the wheel well and pull the whole side out to see if they line up, and then slowly align...

    Putting 2007 bumper end back in place?

    SUPER simple! Assuming you don't bend anything while pressing it back in place, it just snaps back in. I got a backup camera so I didn't have to do it again after the first two times.

    Lighting anyone?

    I bought some projectors from Amazon, they made a HUGE difference compared to stock. I put LED bulbs in them and the pattern wasn't great, so I stuck halogens back in it. Still not as good as the factory projectors on my old Milan, but way WAY better than stock...

    Ditch light mounting brackets

    It took a ton of grinding to make this fit, but it ended up working with some trimming of the cowl, too. They were marketed as first gen Raptor brackets, with the single bolt mount. The dual bolt mounts aren't spaced correctly for the hood brackets. They're in there solid, they don't move or...

    Bumper recommendations?

    https://www.expeditionforum.com/members/adventure-driven.54070/ These folks documented everything they did to their machine, it's a good place to start and get some info on. Iron Bull is the only place I see that offers anything decent looking...

    New side steps

    That's not too shabby! I just got some F150 18" wheels, some steps and replacement rockers would accompany them nice!

    17 white twist locks on flex covering underneath front end

    I don't know about those ones in particular, but I've bought most of my clips and fasteners from https://www.clipsandfasteners.com/

    Winch issues

    Replace the factory positive terminal with a marine style multi-post terminal. This one below is cheap, there are a bunch of other options out there, too. It's pretty easy, though I would use solder lugs over the crimp on style this one includes. https://a.co/c6UYHWF

    Coil pack & spark plug suggestions

    I used cheap Amazon coils, they worked great for about 30,000 miles, then one developed a miss. Not sure what exactly caused it, but whatever. I swapped them all over to Motorcraft. I've got ~60,000 on the Motorcraft coils in my wife's Mariner, haven't had any issues with those, and that...

    Gas cap

    At one point somebody (probably Stant) made a retrofit from the cap to capless adapter. My Expedition is the only car I've got left that has an actual cap, I've been longing to just stick it in and get on with the pumping without any fiddling around beforehand, but I can't find it anymore!

    Rocker panel repair

    You know what, that might be a great idea! Looking at this bracket, and how shakey this step is, you might be right and that'll save me a ton of cash that I don't want to spend on an old rust bucket.

    Rocker panel repair

    I honestly wouldn't care, except that driver's side step is starting to flex pretty harsh at the rear mount. With two kids, I don't need it letting go with one of them on it.
