    Need opinions on 2014 and 2015

    I'm in the same boat as a couple others here that I purposely bought the 2013 to avoid the EcoBoost. Used at 90k and in great shape with the exception of the rockers due to stuck running boards holding the snow in year-after-year. Other than that, blew power steering hoses. Previously had...

    Head Unit Upgrade Phobia

    I think any head unit will work WITH an integration device that will do the rear audio. Metro makes one and when I was choosing mine, I believe rear audio was one of the selection questions. I don't work for them or being thrown a bone - I've used their productions from integration, to...

    I just completed my 2013 upgrade a couple months ago:and My gear: - Pioneer AVH-X4800BS (Double DIN Bluetooth In-Dash DVD/CD/AM/FM Car Stereo (circa 2018 from my 2002 Exp install) - JL Aidiot vx400/4i 75W x4 @ 4ohm (I splurged here) - JL Audio C3 6.5” component speakers (front) - JL Audio...

    Does the parking brake switch terminates in connector under dash?

    Hi all, Doing an after market head unit (Pioneer) with Metra/Axxess harness and adaptor modules (both system interface and steering wheel controls) and all works well, except on the subject. All connected properly with light green to light green wires called out for the parking brake switch...

    Coil and plug recommendations

    I'll second that and read a similar article a while back. I specifically recalled the counterfeits with plugs and also bagged components. Also reiterate with the rest here to stick with OEM/Motorcraft. While my previous non-Ford vehicles might have been more accepting of aftermarket, my 3...

    Headlights suck, couple questions:

    I'm a little late to the game on the thread and checked out the lights you linked (and rwmorrisonjr too). Any problem with flicker? I posted the question on amazon referencing my 2013 LTD and said not problem, but would also provide a canbus if that was the case. Curious as to your experiences.

    Rocker panels

    I was doing what I thought would be some light cavity wax spraying work on my '13 when I saw the cancer - OMG. I saw OAM in my search, e-mailed and asked specifically if the F150 panels would fit and no dice. They don't have them yet for the EXP or a timeline, but said you can but suggested...

    Correct transfer case fluid?

    How do I tell if I have torque on demand or ESOF? Thought I saw that if I have the 4-position switch for 2W/AWD/4H/4L, that it's ESOF and therefore Mercon LV? Threw me for a loop that I bought transfer case fluid and the saw the big white sticker to use LV. Was also wondering if this was...

    2014 Expedition EL transmission fluid change

    A bit late to the game on this one but thought I'd share for those yet to do theirs. Just did mine last week on my 2013 Limited and dropped the pan so I could do the filter. At 107k (bought it at ~100k), it looked like watered down motor oil - yes, light black. Not a bad job if you "hinge"...

    Subwoofer question

    Great advice from everyone so I won’t repeat! Couple call outs that I encountered from my ‘02 EB as it had a factory enclosure like one member listed above other than passenger side ( my 2013 is drivers side but same approach). I kept the enclosure with a Rockford Fosgate that fit right in...

    Power Steering Leak

    Good call out - will definitely have a look once it warms up a bit here!

    Power Steering Leak

    Thanks for all the responses! Turned out to be just the line; crimp let loose on the metal to rubber transition.

    Power Steering Leak

    Correction - passenger side looks to be OK with limited visibility: Too cold and rainy last night to have a good look, but I can see the fluid has pooled on the top of the condenser and the hose on the DRIVER'S side is wiggle-loose.

    Power Steering Leak

    Hi All, Was looking through the threads on the topic, but seem to be quite old so starting a new for 2022! Have a 2013 Limited, lost power steering and appear to have a leak on top of the cooler/condenser, however on the driver's side. Older posts call out the passenger side and that the top 2...

    2017 EL Limited, water in doors (safe to leave the plugs out?)

    Agreed. Prior to installing speakers in my doors, i had the what sloshing sound which freaked me out (they did drain on their own). When I installed my speakers and before doing the wax sealant and sound deadening material, I thoroughly cleaned, vacuumed and blew out the debris, which included...
