    2007 Expedition power steps

    My 2011 Expedition Platinum came with power steps and it is not an EL.

    08-10 Ford Expedition radio/gps wanted

    Gary, When mine failed, the Sirius radio indicated faulty antenna. Initially the channels would fade in and out and then finally quit completely. Also the GPS was off by about 100 miles! Again they replaced the ACM and all was well however I did have to contact Sirius and they had to reset...

    08-10 Ford Expedition radio/gps wanted

    Gary, The other unit you are referring to is an ACM (audio control module). And that is probably the culprit. The local Ford dealership was going to replace the roof satellite antenna if it was bad but as it turned out it was the ACM which had failed. So the satellite antenna must be available.

    08-10 Ford Expedition radio/gps wanted

    If you are possibly looking at replacing the GPS antenna I would try that first as I have heard they are prone to failure. I have a 2011 Expedition Limited and the GPS/Sirius radio started acting up. I wound up having to replace the ACM along with the antenna. The dealership told me it would...

    2011 Limited audio control module

    Lost Sirius antenna connection first followed by GPS antenna failure then cell phone connection. Took it to local Ford dealership today and I'm being told the ACM is bad and possibly antenna as well. Cost of repair is $1737.27, however service writer recommends I go to Car Toys where they can...

    REAR WIPER

    I love this forum and the wealth of information and opinions offered up to peruse. I'm not all that media or tech savvy either. It's amusing when the use of CAPS are criticized. Seems to me it just makes it easier to read and my hearing is unaffected. That being said when someone asks for...

    Service Ramps

    I'm with zfifty on this, for safety I far prefer a good quality hydraulic floor jack and heavy duty cast iron jack stands. I've always had issues with ramps "scooting" out when trying to drive up on them. I get it that the suspension needs to be loaded for some suspension work so ramps and...

    To re-engine, or not to re-engine? That is the question

    I recently saw a 4.6 out of a 1998 Mark VIII for sale and was wondering if that is a possible transplant for the 97 Expedition with the 4.6?

    6.0 powerstroke

    Well I think anything is possible given enough time, effort and money! The 6.0 Liter oil burner was one heck of an engine if as previously stated its properly bullet proofed. The primary issue with them and most diesels is they are so horribly strangled by government mandated emission...

    Gave the Expedition a new look

    NO!!! Don't let him buy them. I want to buy them and I'm only 71 and far more deserving! That being said, I also own a F350 KR and wish I could further dechrome it with a Platinum grill.

    What tires look good on the Expedition?

    I would echo the comments about the Michelin LTX. I run them on both of my Expeditions as well as my KR F350 and am very satisfied with them. I also bought them through Costco.

    Gen 1 and Gen 2 headlight assembly interchangability

    Thank you, guess I'll go the aftermarket route.

    Gen 1 and Gen 2 headlight assembly interchangability

    I've searched as much as I can but can't find an answer as to whether or not a headlight assembly from a 2003 Expedition will interchange with a 1997 Expedition. I've refinished my 97 lenses twice now but it doesn't last very long. Recently I ran across a nice 2003 Expedition in a local...

    2wd with Electronic Locking Diff in Snow

    Having grown up in Moab, Utah and lived 26 years in Interior Alaska I have always owned a 4wd, but that is still not an end all to be all. I once test drove a Jeep Rubicon with factory lockers. On glare ice, 2wd it wouldn't move an inch. Not to be dissuaded i shifted into 4wd and it moved...

    A4WD light flashing after 5 minutes of driving

    Why are you driving into snowbanks? I thought the idea of using 4wd was to keep you out of them. Are you sure all 4 tires are spinning, if so you must have also front and rear. Given the age of the rig i would check out the vacuum lines to the actuators to see if they may be leaking.
