    2021 Expedition Shark Fin Removal

    The console is said to be held on with clips and pulls right down, but I tried to pull mine down and it fought back until the plastic cracked. I have no sunroof.

    Skid Plate

    Ford makes complete skid plates for these trucks. Front behind bumper, under the motor, steel to replace the fabric diaper, metal under the transfer case and a plate under the plastic fuel tank. They've been written up well here in this forum. Not easy figuring out part numbers. A good...

    Roof hump

    2023 Ohio Highway Patrol needed the flat on a large order for satellite antenna. Don't think they ever installed them.

    A/C only blowing cold when set to MAX

    The newer ones at least have no resistors. Computer controlled. You never know what's going to happen when you start the car. Rear defogger? A/C? Who knows?

    Gen 4 Plain Running Boards

    I understand. I'll keep them. Too much work to take them off and wrap them up. And yes, you will definitely find a pair of OEM ones or aftermarket; hopefully locally.

    Gen 4 Plain Running Boards

    What are they worth to you, shipped? You can send me a PM. I have a pair on a 2023 police vehicle with 10,000 miles which I might sell. I think shipping is about $130.

    Do you need to remove seat to replace bottom upholstery?

    Al, the cooled seats have a soft plastic duct molded in them that goes through the foam. I can only speak for the 3rd Generation trucks, in which I've changed several seat covers. I've always removed the seat. It's not hard and offers access to remove any side trim. Watch the video on The...

    2008 Body Mount Bushings

    There are a bunch of different part numbers for upper and lower mounts and the different positions. I didn't keep track of them, but found them from forums and parts books.

    Fuel Tank Strap Bolts

    This post can serve as a warning and instruction to those who have need to remove their fuel tank straps. On the Gen4 trucks, Ford used "red Loctite" on the bolts, which thread into "j-nuts" clipped onto the frame. For those who never had the pleasure of experiencing these fasteners from hell...

    Disable Airbags?

    You can add a switch to any of the impact sensor leads. Any open impact sensor will light the "airbag" lamp, disable the airbags and send a code. It should clear when you turn it back on. Most extreme dune bashing in USA sand would bash a grille and bumper cover for good. Is sand over there...

    Sync Update Issues

    As DieselMonk says, check the obvious. Get at the TCU and make sure the antenna is connected, connectors tight, etc. Check the fuse. Do the basics that your "APIM-replacer" probably didn't do. Not many things won't throw a code. Look at basics.
