    Bilstein shocks don't fit

    Nice limamike. At least I have another option rather than buy all the OEM parts. I ended up putting it all back together but DID replace the stabilizer bar bushings and connecting rods. That helped with the ride but it still needs new shocks. Oh and I replaced the coils with ENA $30/set ones...

    Bilstein shocks don't fit

    Hey guys. 07 Expedition EL. I installed Monroe Quick struts about 1 1/2 yrs ago. Never liked the ride with the new struts to begin with but now I'm bouncing all over going down the road. Here's the problem: instead of doing quick struts again, I thought I would just replace the shock. But the...

    Gas Spilling out after fueling

    I've got an 07 Expedition (4WD, EL Limited). Gas shoots back up through the gas filler when I'm filling up. I tried not letting the nozzle shut off and filling it slowly by hand. Even a moderate flow will cause it to shoot back out. Sounds to me like the tank is not venting properly. How...

    Front diff leak

    2007 Expy EL 76k miles. While changing my oil this weekend, I noticed some fluid around the back of the front diff and the passenger side half-shaft. the half-shaft seems to be worse. The truck came from Florida and I've been using the 4x4Auto mode quite a bit these past few months. I'm...

    Inverter Install

    Here are the final results. I'm pleased overall. Instead of upgrading inverters to one with a remote, I just re-used the existing 300W inverter and soldered extensions for the on/off switch. The inverter now lives underneath the console, which still has alot of space left over. This should...

    Inverter Install

    OK, here's my plan so far. After removing the compartment at the rear of the console, I've decided to buy some 1/8" ABS textured plastic for the facing: (http://www.amazon.com/ABS-Textured-Sheet-Thick-12/dp/B0002ZPPXK/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1286809318&sr=1-1) and some AC...

    Inverter Install

    Most of the time, I'll just be powering a laptop (90W power supply). Occasionally, I'll have another person with me and they'll power one too (assume <100W). I've been using a 300W supply for years that just connects via 12V cig/power adapter. It works fine, but it's always in the way...

    Inverter Install

    I'd like to install a couple of AC outlets in my 07 EXPY. On many days it's my mobile office. I'd like two AC outlets and maybe a couple of USB outlets. So far, I think the ideal location is at the rear of the center console (between the front seats). There's a small compartment just above...
