    Add-on Keyless Entry Keypad - "Not for Police Vehicles"

    Jim, the wireless one? How did you program this?

    Expy24 TCU Telematics control module location ?

    Should be under the console with the airbag module.

    Adding fog lights to expedition 2022 XLT

    Easier said than done. After you get the Forscan codes to recognize the new switch, you have to remove the bumper cover and drill out the quarter-inch pop rivets that hold that thing together so you can install the parts for the fog lights. Not a easy job.

    Underbody Shields

    You might be well served by looking up the 4th Generation's five skid plates ( behind bumper with two brackets, under motor, under trans, transfer case and under fuel tank) and cross reference them on the Ford parts site to see if they fit the 2025 and 26 models. There are good writeups with...

    How to turn off incessant pings?

    Are we talking about engine pings, as in detonation? If so, use premium gas as Ford recommends.

    Rough idle and slight hesitation

    I suspect your dealer is a liar and looking to sell you a $2700 "intake and combustion chamber resurfacing". With 45,000 miles on a 2023, you don't have any "carbon buildup on valves" You may want to pull a plug and check the condition of it... but the mileage is even short for spark plugs...

    Thoughts on fixing this myself? Hit a deer

    I know a fat guy who says that's why he pays a "pro" to cut his grass.

    Anything to look for?

    The 2023s are pretty solid trucks and 28,000 miles didn't give much time for abuse. As I see it, by then the flaws have been worked out. I have a 23 which has been flawless since it came home. Good luck with your new truck, if you buy it.

    Wheel bearing replacement

    I've done this job many times on older Expeditions and all of mine had significant New York rust seizing the hubs into the knuckles. Assuming this is a Tennessee truck, you shouldn't have those problems. Everything else in the job goes pretty easily if you have the proper tools. Ford asks...

    Thoughts on fixing this myself? Hit a deer

    If you can drill out pop rivets, you can fix this yourself. It's up to you. I can fix that for $ 1000 and I'm no wizard. Here in New York, the job would cost perhaps $ 8500 at a body shop, and if I made a claim on my comprehensive policy, my rates would increase $1200/year for five years...

    Battery Tray Removal?

    Great! I wonder why they bothered with that? My 23 didn't have it.

    Battery Tray Removal?

    The screw should be visible right under the battery in a bottom depression toward the rear of the tray.

    Battery Tray Removal?

    According to the shop manual, There's a screw in the bottom and a pushpin toward the windshield cleaner bottle. Then remove the four bolts, two on bottom and two toward the bottle. The harness along the edge is snapped on in two places I just removed mine to route some wires. My 2023 did...

    Seat covers - real replacement covers

    I've installed many covers from The Seat Shop. I usually get about 60,000 miles out of the driver's cushion before they show any wear. Great quality and true OEM looking stuff. Their Web site has a video comparing the quality of theirs against the ones you are looking at. Watch it and...
