    Gear Ratio1

    FWIW to anyone: The tag on the door of my 2005, shows "Axle 15". A search of my VIN on VIN Decoder provided this info: "Axle Ratio (:1) - Rear 3.73, 3.73, 3.31 (3.31 min/3.73max)" Not sure exactly how to decipher it; but assuming it has a 373 axle ratio. is my assumption correct?

    key in ignition chime shut off?

    May not be what you are looking for, but Ford makes a seat belt extender that latches into the seat portion of the seat belt which will accomplish what you desire. Every time I have bought a truck, asked the parts dept. for one and they would give me one. There are also many aftermarket extenders.

    Example of DFW Retail Market

    I have noted several here stating what they paid for their Expedition. I've also noted several posting photos of rust issues on vehicles in the snowbelt.

    Oil leak...

    I just had my oil filter adapter gasket changed and they did not drain the coolant. You will lose SOME when you remove the adapter but by no means all. Coolant looked good; so we just replaced what was lost We did do an oil change obviously. Gasket was about $10 at Oreilly's.
