    Wheel question. Rim width

    For reference offset is measured from the center of the wheel. So in this case a 7.5" wheel compared to a 8.5" wheel with the same offset means the 8.5" wheel is 0.5" wider on each side. The center of the wheel is the same in both cases. The bigger question is will the ride and handling of a...

    2008 steering wheel will not lock

    Really odd issues with my expedition. The steering wheel will not lock. Also the key does not come out of the ignition cylinder without using a lot of force. Further it does not seem that I can turn the key backwards to the accessory position. Truck starts fine and the shifter works as it...

    Fog lights

    It should cross reference with any number of LED housings on Amazon etc that also fit the Ford Ranger or F150. I am not endorsing these but it will give you some idea of what is out there in the chinesium market...

    Replacing Body Mounts

    I need to tackle this job to replace positions 3 and 4 on both side of my '08 EL. I am shocked at the poor quality of the oem bushings and further shocked that their isn't a real aftermarket option. I want to see if I am understanding things correctly before I order parts. There are 5 busing...

    ride height sensors

    I just finished installing the strutmasters conversion kit on my 2008 EL limited. I managed to damage the connecting rod for one of the rear ride height sensors in the process. I have since turned my air suspension off and I am not getting any errors on the dash for the sensor being...

    2008 EL strut replacement recommendations

    My 2008 Ford Expedition EL 2WD Limited suspension has finally gotten to bad to ignore. I think I am going to go with the strutmasters rear conversion to get rid of my leaky air bags. Unfortunately they do not make a front strut for the EL Limited. What is the best option for a front (loaded...

    I walked away from dealing with suspension but its finally getting worse. I appreciate the value of the air suspension but I want to convert mine to conventional coil spring/struts in the rear. 2008 Ford Expedition EL Limited (rear air/front conventional). The only conversion options I see...

    how far does is the sunroof supposed to slide open?

    My sunroof has been like this since I owned my expedition. The sunroof shade slides further back than the sunroof will open. Is this normal or is my sunroof out of adjustment? This is a 2008 limited EL 2wd

    F150 headlight compatibility

    I know this is a shot in the dark and most likely a big nope. An chance the 2013 F150 headlight is the same as the 2008 expedition?

    Alternator Question

    Current alternator is of unknown origin installed by previous owner. I am getting intermittent battery light on the dash and Forscan codes that indicate various low/high voltage conditions. I suspect the alternator as the issue and was looking to put in 150 amp unit. Wondering if its worth...

    Suspension advice needed

    the rear air suspension in my 2008 el is starting to leak down overnight more and more frequently. It has 200k miles all on the original struts. I plan to replace the fronts and I think I am better off deleting the rear air ride in favor of conventional coil spring struts. There seem to be...

    Intermittent battery light

    I could use some insight on this issue. The battery light on the dash comes on intermittently. This has been ongoing since I bought the truck last month. I tested the battery. Solid voltage. I tested the alternator. Good charging. I’ve seen in other threads issues with the voltage...

    interior light issues

    Unfortunately a new switch didn’t fix it. They stay on until the battery saver kicks in. Super odd. What’s next to check?

    interior light issues

    Do you have any door open warning light indications on the instrument cluster? Nope A new switch is about $20. That would eliminate that as an issue anyway. For $20 I'll give a try

    No washers, but wipers work

    I am having the same issue with my 2008 EL. The fuse seems to operate both the wipers and washer pump. So if you have wipers then its not likely a fuse issue. If you hear the pump come on when you press the washers it may be clogged as others have mentioned. If the pump does not come on I...

    interior light issues

    I have a new to me 2008 Ford Expedition EL Limited RWD (198,000). I have done some searches and tested a few things but I am still confounded by trying to get the interior lights to go out with the doors closed. With the fuse installed all of the lights are on and stay on regardless of...
