    Electric running boards

    The box is made to be removed and unplugged easily. There is a power disconnect under the hood with a key.

    Electric running boards

    Yeah I’ll get around to it, I’ve been asked for videos before. I just start working on things and the last thing I think of is making a video with my iPhone. I should get a tripod off Amazon and set it up. I have pics of some of my work.

    Electric running boards

    I have a 2014 that I bought just a couple years old. A one owner with low miles. After a year or so the driver side running board started sticking. I saw videos on YouTube where guys spray them down with penetrating fluid and they work again..... for a while. I wanted a more permanent fix and...

    Electric running boards

    If anyone has issues with their electric running boards, let me know I found a good fix for them that has been lasting 3 years now

    I put Bilstien 5100 all the way around with fords latest revision of spring which has a bit more lift. I am running Fuel 20s with Goodyear ultra terrain tires. It’s plenty high enough for me and the electric running boards actually have a purpose now.

    100,000 Mile Service Advise Needed

    I’ve did all the fluids on my at 100k and the only one that looked perfect was the rear axle fluid. Change all the fluids even brake fluid and trans filter. USE FORD fluids! Mixing fluids is never a good idea. It creates contamination and leads to early fluid breakdown. The front differential is...

    Bilsteins and spring seats...

    Did you change coils? Ford makes a couple size springs. One for a 2” seat the other for a 2.75” seat.

    5 star sct great on a 2014 expy

    I bought a tuner direct from 5 star that came with custom tunes plus I added one of my own for E-85. I have a cold air intake and magnaflow cat back system. Plus my truck is a flex fuel so it comes with larger factory injectors. Running E-85 with the custom tune is amazing. I can smoke up my...

    What is "EL" and how do I know if mine is EL?

    Yeah I always look at the back doors to tell the difference. The EL is actually a fair amount longer than a regular and has a bit better ride I think.

    What is the best year Expedition to buy?

    I prefer my 2014 El king ranch. Last of the v-8s and ford had worked a bunch of issues out by this time. I love mine and definitely would NOT trade to an ecoboost. I’ve driven several and I don’t like the engine or body style. Seems like the expedition was moving toward an AWD minivan by then...

    Confused re Mercon, Mercon LV, XL12

    Yes ford changed it to lv in all transfer cases. I’ve been running it in mine for three years now. It’s especially good for the electronic controlled cases with the AWD clutch packs.

    5.0 coyote is the way to go! And then add a ten speed with stand alone controller.
