    Digital broadcast TV for the rear seat entertainment system

    Good evening everyone. Not something that i would really need to do, but just playing around in my head what it would take to get a digital broadcast TV signal to the rear seat screen through the RCA jacks. Would a digital to analog antenna, connected to an old school VCR (plugged in through...

    Tread pieces for running boards. 2006 Limited

    The black "plastic" tread pieces from my 2006 Limited have faded quite a bit. I tried cleaning them with various scrubbing pads and abrasive cleaners to try to remove any possible oxidation. Still the light grey color remains on the driver's side. The passenger side looks much closer to...

    weird noise, 2003 eddie bauer

    The vacuum lines that had the leaks were the ones that were right behind the battery. I had taken the Expedition to two other shops (one being a Ford dealer). The first thought it was the material inside the catalytic converter rattling around, and the Ford dealer said they couldn't find the...

    weird noise, 2003 eddie bauer

    So, as a follow-up to the post on my 2006 limited. Was advised that the vacuum line(s) had pinhole leaks in them, which was causing the noise from the actuator(s). Hopefully this will take care of it.

    weird noise, 2003 eddie bauer

    My 2006 Limited 4WD seems to be doing the exact seem thing. It makes a very similar noise in 2WD (without the bang), and it seems to go away when I put it in 4Auto. Going to have it looked at next week. Looking forward to hopefully getting this resolved.

    occasional Ssshhhh-ing sound under load

    Dear all, I am hoping that someone on this forum can offer me a little guidance. First, my Expy is a 2006 Limited 4X4, with 89,000 miles on it. Recently I noticed while driving up grades or anytime there is any more than a flat and level "load" on the engine, I will hear an occasional sound...

    Parking Emergency Brake Adjustment

    Okay, I think I understand now. I had never seen that there are separate brake shoes for the parking brakes that are not visible by looking at the brake rotor from the outside. Looking at a parts list and diagram showed me how they are actually setup. Learn something new every day. Thank you...

    Parking Emergency Brake Adjustment

    I couldn't find information that was helpful to me in the thread above. My 2006 Limited has 4-wheel disk brakes (instead of disk/drums). Does anyone know if the parking brakes on the Expeditions with disk brakes are adjustable, or can be tightened?? Mine will absolutely not hold the vehicle...

    2nd row console options

    I built my own using 1/2" MDF, Indoor/outdoor carpet, foam padding, waterproof camo fabric and a drop in double cupholder that i found on ebay. It is held in place with a 1" military surplus web strap attached to the LATCH brackets on the middle seat in the second row. It isn't the most...

    Steering Wheel replacement question

    Dear all, Reading the thread about the gentleman that replaced the steering wheel in his 2018 Expedition with the unit from a Raptor got me to thinking about my 2006 Limited (just not the Raptor part). My daily driver is a 2007 Fusion SEL. The steering wheel controls seem to me to be laid...

    Front Seat Replacements?

    I've got a 2006 Limited, and they have the front seats with the movable headrests. I think the Limited and King Ranch may have been the only trim level that had the movable front headrests. Easiest thing would be to probably look for seats from a Limited model.

    Surfboard pads for factory roof rack cross bars

    Neilster1, I had tried pool noodles previously, and wasn't that impressed with the way they fit. I ended up buying a pair of "Dorsal" surfboard pads off Amazon. They seem like they'll fit good and should work well. Thank you for the reply.

    Surfboard pads for factory roof rack cross bars

    Good morning/afternoon all! I was wondering if anyone can make a recommendation for pads for the factory crossbars on an Expedition to protect a surfboard or SUP when being carried up there. The width of the crossbars is a little over 2" and is the aerodynamic type. If there is a brand or...

    Those puzzle-piece gym floor mats

    I have the Husky Liner version in my '06. It does roll up, as that was how it was shipped in the cardboard box when i bought it.
