    Air Ride vs Standard Suspension?

    I had my 2006 Eddie Bauer Expy changed from air suspension to coil suspension yesterday (06/26/2023). The right front airbag had gone bad last week and was sagging, although it would pump back up while driving. The left side quickly followed and the ride became very much like a rabbit hopping...

    Ugly Plugs....

    If you went back to the same shop and same mechanic, maybe he can/will answer that question...or the shop owner will. I ONLY use a mechanic that I KNOW and TRUST.

    CB/HAM radio mounting places in 2006 Expy Eddie Bauer

    I'm thinking about putting a CB/HAM radio in my 2006 Expy Eddie Bauer. I don't want to drill a bunch of holes ANYWHERE. I want to do as little damage or modifications AS POSSIBLE. I'm probably going with a magnetic mount antenna, so, no holes to drill. I'm just bouncing this off you forum...

    Alternator Differences....?

    My 2006 Expedition is named "Beast" also...the wife named it that soon after she first drove it. She said it's a lot less tame than her Lexus 430LS!!!

    2nd gen (2006) rattle

    Ok, I have a 2006 Expedition Eddie Bauer 4WD with the air leveler/suspension and it has developed an annoying rattle. I believe it's a suspension problem, possibly a bushing has worn out. It rattles when I hit bumps and I can't seem to pinpoint the location (I guess that could mean that I have...

    whimsical thoughts, or, Expedition into a "Bronco"..

    In fact, Ford DID produce a limited 4 door Broncos (I read somewhere they were shipped to Mexico). I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE ONE!!! A 4 door Bronco with a 351 V8, 4bbl carb, a good cam, a BigStick 4 speed and lock in hubs would have been A BEAST...ah well, wishing won't get me one.

    Mag-Charger flashlight mounting spot

    I have several of the smaller rechargeable flashlights, but have opted to use the mag-charger as pictured in Hamfisted's post. I thought about mounting it on the side of the console, but if mounted on the driver's side, it MIGHT be in the way and get kicked (or maybe not). If mounted on the...

    Mag-Charger flashlight mounting spot

    Asking for ideas for spots and the cleanest method of mounting a Mag-Charger flashlight in a 2nd Gen Expedition (2006 Eddie Bauer 4WD). A mount that can be removed would be preferable. Give me some ideas, folks and let me see your mounts.

    Where are you from?

    Just joined. I'm from Montgomery, AL. I have an '06 Expedition with the Eddie Bauer trim. It's 4WD and has pretty much every option except a sunroof and a DVD player (didn't want either). A very "civilized" BEAST (that's what my wife named it). It has the 5.4L engine and auto-trans. BEAST is...
