    Blower control out of control- any ideas?

    Hi Eric, @Ericcccccc Thanks for sharing the links, I received the replacement resistor today, it has the aluminum extruded heat sink. Amazon says that it fits, but it doesn't fit my 2011. I'll exchange it for the flat plate version. Check out the one in your Expedition before ordering...

    Rear quarter glass sagging

    I'll share images of our 2011 EL. I didn't notice anything about the window alignment before, but I may have trouble sleeping now. The lower edge looks fine, but the upper edge of the windows are no where near parallel to the surrounding body. As far as I know, this vehicle has been in and...

    Total Meltdown - Help! - 2022 Expedition Max Limited

    Hello mdexp. I'll share a story that may or may not be relevant. Upon returning from a week of business travel, I found that I was not able to unlock my vehicle (not a Ford) with the keyfob. There was no sign of anything electrical going on at all. I had locked the physical key inside the...

    Catalytic or cat lock DIY?

    Do you think that they'll notice? The big question is "Will they care?". I suspect that they'll hack up the exhaust either way out of spite. I used VHT Flameproof paint - https://www.vhtpaint.com/high-heat/vht-flameproof-coating It's worth noting that this is what they call "Red". I used a...

    Rocker panels

    Hello cdahlen, Unfortunately, you are not alone having rocker panel issues. There are a lot of threads and many recommendations. Here are a few; https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/rocker-panels.41354/post-368685 https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/rocker-panels.41354/post-434725...

    Catalytic or cat lock DIY?

    Hi Eddie, Sounds like a reasonable plan. I'm still waiting to get a date when I'll be able to bring it home and crawl around underneath. I want to see if it would be easier to custom make the whole thing or start adding on extensions. Of course starting with something makes use of the bolt...

    Catalytic or cat lock DIY?

    The adjuster reviewed the situation with the garage - ~$2,600 worth of damage/theft. Looks like I'm going to need to crawl around under there with some sheets of cardboard then start talking to the local water-jet shop. Does anyone have any thoughts on attaching to the frame with riv-nuts and...

    Catalytic or cat lock DIY?

    Got a call from the Pennsylvania State Police yesterday... Our 2011 was at a garage for power steering and state inspection work, had to wait 2 weeks for the rack and a spot in their schedule. By the time that they went to pull it back in the cats were gone. The thieves got them off our...

    Bypass oil filter installation

    Hello, I guess that I am feeling impulsive this morning. I usually let these things go. Welcome Larry! Congrats on the new, to you, Expedition! I recently got mine and am still sorting it out. Sorry that I can't help answer your question, I've got the 5.4 and I don't plan to use it enough...

    Liftgate won't open with outside button, but will open with remote

    I've had my lift-gate apart several times. I don't think that I'd recommend it in cold weather. I had to yank on the plastic panels pretty hard. If the 2014 is similar to my 2011, then this switch should work. I repaired mine, though it was a hassle and I wouldn't do it to save $18. I did it...

    Quick temporary snow traction?

    Hi Boostedbus, I totally hear you about staying out of the ditch. For that I can't do better than CallMelshmael. I'll say that even cable chains on my Nissan Leaf will get me through anything that I can drive over (4 -5"), they make a huge difference! You mentioned your winch, but not having...

    Leather cleaner / preserver

    Hello star-art, I know that this is an old thread, but I'll still thank you for you comments about the coating on our leather seats. I replied to an even older thread with this same question. I'm trying to strike a balance between creating a new thread for everything and reading all existing...

    Out of curiosity.. Leather care

    Does anyone know if Lexol conditioner gets old? I used some from my wife's stash for her saddles. A quart goes a long way, apparently. It could be years old, neither of us remember. When it was cold, it seemed lumpy. I warmed it up and it seemed normal. Though, when I wiped down all of my...

    Opinion on 2012 w/20k miles

    Tonspike, Best of luck on the purchase and your trip! I assume by now it's a moot point, but I'll add my recent (August 2020) purchase of a 2011 as a reference point. XLT, EL, 4wd, NJ, NY, PA, 2 previous owners, 135K, rusted out passenger rocker panel, about the same surface rust on the frame...

    Bilsteins and spring seats...

    Yep, did the lug nuts thing too. Two days after I bought my 2011 it was at the dealership for PA safety inspection and a bunch of catch up maintenance so that I could start with a clean slate; coolant, trans filter, flush, axles, T-case. After the first day, they said that they couldn't get...
