    Automatic Running Boards

    What is involved in installing the OEM automatic running boards onto a 2014 that has static running boards? Is it simply a plug-and-play process, or is there more involved since these can be enabled/disabled via the gauge cluster?

    Front Washer Hose Under Cowl Link Broken

    @99WhiteC5Coupe: Never responded to this, but thank you, even belatedly. Replaced with a junction, no check valve, and restored operation - almost a year later, it's still working beautifully.

    Tires - Any Experience With BFG Trail Terrain?

    Looking at new tires, the 275/55R20 Toyos that came with my 2011 are getting bald. Thinking about BFG Trail Terrains in 275/60R20 - a bit taller, but the same width. Anyone running these tires, any issues? Anyone running this size, any issues? Virtually everything about my Expedition is...

    Front Washer Hose Under Cowl Link Broken

    Did you replace with the proper valve? Is there any benefit to doing so?

    Front Washer Hose Under Cowl Link Broken

    Update, was able to easily fix this. Once I dug in more, and removed the wiper arms and the cowl, I was able to disconnect the hose at other junction points, and was able to snag a cheap hose barb/junction at NAPA, and replace the broken junction/check valve, and my front wipers work perfectly...

    Front Washer Hose Under Cowl Link Broken

    Lost front wipers a couple weeks ago, and am just now getting free time to tear apart/diagnose. The hose from the reservoir to the front washer seems to be broken or disconnected under the cowl. I don't have pictures, but it appears the hose popped apart at a joint, but it doesn't seem...

    Anyone repair their frame or am I boned pt2?

    Just going to chime in with my admittedly not-expert opinion, but that doesn't look like acute "damage" - it looks like rot.

    Help! 2011 Expedition Locked In Park!

    As I detailed in post #5, I already tested the brake light switch, it's not the brake light switch. I've pulled mine and put it into another Expedition. I put the known good one from that other Expedition into mine, and it didn't resolve anything. It's undoubtedly something else electrical...

    Help! 2011 Expedition Locked In Park!

    No brake lights after reconnecting battery and those connections, but I did validate that I do not have a blown fuse, and I also pulled/tested the brake light switch. I do suspect the electrical interlock, of course, but the immediate culprits aren't presenting themselves.

    Which headlights? Help me choose

    I just replaced my OEM headlights with the same style (no frou-frou fake projector/LED strip nonsense), just aftermarket "crystal clear" instead of the OEM lame fogged/blacked out look. Along with a superior bulb (Philips XtremeVision 9008), and it's a huge improvement.
