    Will these 20" rims fit my '23 Expy? They are from a '22 F150. I don't want to have to cut or add spacers.

    As far as I know, all F150 wheels fit Expedition, but the Expedition rear axle stub sticks out and interferes with the wheel center cap. So, yes, they'll fit, but you won't be able to use the center cap on the rears. It's really no big deal to cut it. I've done it to my 2003 and my wife's 2016.

    I'm still tuned in and wondering if those control arms fit!

    Seat covers - real replacement covers

    The question to be answered is - how long do you really plan on keeping it? 5 years ago I called my wife to ask about spending $2k to fix my AC. Her response?...."you're not gonna get rid of it and you're not gonna drive it without AC, so why are you calling to ask? Just tell them to fix it."...

    Seat covers - real replacement covers

    Sorry to say...I second TheSeatShop. I completely refurbished my 2003 front seats (cushions, bottom and back covers) in Oct 2017. Covers are still great and I don't do regular conditioning on them. It's my daily driver - not many miles each trip, but plenty of trips = in/out slides that wear the...

    Start with foot on brake

    Your definition of "hate" and my definition of "hate" are vastly different. Aside from that...my daughter's 2017 Edge can be started remotely and then "started" by pushing the start button without stepping on the brake pedal. Have you tried that sequence?

    5.4 triton vs the 3.5 Ecoboost?

    The 5.4 and 3.5 aren't comparable. The 3.5 out performs the 5.4 in every measurement. We've owned a 2003 Expy 5.4 since 2004. We've put 150k miles on it; it now has 182k miles. The only engine related thing I've replaced is the intake manifold because of the notorious crossover tube. The 5.4 is...

    Got around to rebuilding my seat.

    In 2017, I used The Seat Shop bottom cushions and upper/lower covers to give my 03 front seats new life. 9 years later and they still look and feel great.

    Still happy with mine.

    Will 33s fit without mods?

    285/70R17 (32.7" x 11.2") fits factory wheel and is a little bigger than the stock 265/70R17 (31.6" x 10.4"). At stock height and full turn lock, they would barely rub my lower a-arm when I ran that size. If I remember correctly, true 33x12.5 usually require a minimum 8" wide wheel, but the...

    65,500 km is crazy low! It's barely past the factor warranty in miles!

    What the what?! Why does your fuel pump have a ponytail? That's some kind of sabotage right there.

    Next problem 04 Expedition, random die while driving

    Good write-up for anyone wanting a serviceable relay. I was able to de-solder and replace my relay pretty quickly. Still working 10 years later.

    CODE P0452 READS IN MY SCANNER

    I don't have a test procedure for the relay. The pic isn't close enough to clearly see the solder on the pins. Here's a pic of mine when I first pulled it apart. If yours looks anything like that then it's a culprit. And here's a pic of the corner of the relay where the hot pin is. It's not...

    CODE P0452 READS IN MY SCANNER

    WAIT! The cover on the other side comes off first! I searched my pics from my repair. The 1st pic shows the circuit board still attached to the bus bars. There are blades from the bus bars that pass through the circuit board with clips on them (circled in red in the pic). The clips have to be...

    CODE P0452 READS IN MY SCANNER

    My memory isn't great after 10 years. Flip it over. I bet there are some clips that need to be removed from blades that pass through the circuit board from the bus bars. I'm assuming you remove all of the fuses and removable relays. If you think you've removed everything from the other side...
