    Folding Mirrors ??

    Just thought I would follow up on this myself. American Steel is correct. In doing some further investigation, I even found where someone had posted on another forum, a response from Ford which stated that if the truck did not come with them, they will not work. That being said, I am...

    Folding Mirrors ??

    I know this has been addressed before, but I have not been able to find specific information about internal wiring on my model. Can you install folding mirrors on a 2011 Expedition XLT with existing wiring and just changing door switch?

    +105,000 Miles, Time to Replace Shocks/Struts?

    Come On Guys !! You all know that generally speaking that all Ford vehicles which have standard shocks or struts have a life span of approx 50,000 miles. Those struts are way over due for changing. Worn shocks and struts left on any car or truck only cause other problems, not to mention the...

    Cold air intake

    I have the K&N on my 2011 XLT and I am very happy with it. I also have an after market exhaust along with Hypertech tune and get 1 to 2 MPG better than I might otherwise. But I do get a noticeable increase in power with the tune. Overall I am quite happy.

    boat ramp flat, water question.

    If you submerge the exhaust, do not turn the engine off. Make sure you do not get the water over the top of the rear end gear. You will get water into the vent on top. If you think this might be an issue, Attach a piece of hose to the vent and extend up into the bodywork and secure.

    Infamous mini dipstick

    I do understand what you are saying. I just find this a surprising circumstance or condition. I was actually trying to install a after market dip stick but decided to hold off until I learn more.

    Infamous mini dipstick

    Really ? Then this trans is quite different than past ford models. Usually under cold conditions, fluid levels would show lower on the stick and then expand when heated.

    Infamous mini dipstick

    Just checking out the baby dipstick that so many are aware of on these newer expeditions. I removed the plug per instructions to access small plastic dipstick to check fluid level and fluid immediately began to run out. Truck had been setting for several hours and all fluids were cold...

    Interiior lights

    This may not be your problem, but I had the same thing on my 2011. No Map Light, Vanity Mirror Light or glove box light. All are on one fuse, Probably the one you guys mentioned. New fuse would blow immediately when touched to the contacts. Only thing I could access was the visor. I...

    So where's my sub?

    There should be a grill on the driver side with small round holes in the rear cargo area. My previous post was incorrect. Should be able to verify while playing music. I am happy with the sub and audio.

    Chrome Trim for Roof Rack

    I have added the Chrome trim on my windows like the Navigators have. Now I would like to add a chrome piece to the side rails of the roof rack to make it look like a limited. I am not having any luck finding anyone who makes this. Anyone have a source?

    Another front row headrest post

    Those rods will bend. I had the same issue with my 2011. Take to headrest out completely. I accomplished this by placing the headrest between (2) boards with towels to protect the leather. While having my wife sit on the boards I pulled up on the two rods until were to my liking as far as...

    Window Trim

    Those pieces are not the same as mine. Mine are flat and I must say top quality. The angle pieces may be correct for your earlier model Expedition. I contacted them about doing the rear quarter glass and they made them custom for me. However, She said she would be adding a 6 piece set soon on...

    CD to USB Help

    Finally figured it out thanks, Not too terribly time consuming. The most difficult issue was figuring out the commands on the head unit. Very poor instruction in the Sync manual. Finally found an obscure section about how to get the unit to initialize and recognize the folders. From there things...

    CD to USB Help

    Is there an easy, quick way to convert CD music to MP3 format for coping to USB for playing in my 2011 Expedition on Sync ?? Ground Rules – Don’t do itunes – Don’t have MP3 player and don’t intend on getting one. Primarily use CDs but find it a little inconvenient to swap out each CD in the...

    Granetelli coils

    If you have aftermarket coils and have had no problems, consider yourself lucky. Coming from the High performance Mustang crowd, the finding over the last few years has been that none of the aftermarket coils are as reliable as OEM. In addition, you must be in a very high horsepower...

    Memory Seat Issue

    I have a 2011 and with mine all you do is get the seat and mirrors the way you want them. Push and hold the 1 or 2 button until you hear a ding and you set the memory. Not sure if your opperation may be different.

    AC vent temp won't go below 50 degrees

    I agree Completely. Especially about the old R12 days. Those systems worked great. Today's compressors are much smaller as well. In many cases designed to just barely do the job

    AC vent temp won't go below 50 degrees

    Personally, I am no A/C expert but I have owned Fords all my life and have charged or added refrigerant to several of my cars and trucks. I believe you may be overthinking the issue. Many dealers would tell you that 50 degrees is good. Not good enough for me. I believe just adding some...

    Oil Cap Buildup ??

    I think I have come across a major cause in further discussion - and that is the 7 quart factor. That is a considerable amount of oil to heat up as has been pointed out pointed out. My earlier expedition only had 6 quarts. I believe this may be the main issue with a short drive. With that...

    Oil Cap Buildup ??

    Curious situation on my 2011 Expedition. I drive about 5 miles to work every day one way. After having fresh oil and filter installed before winter, when changing this spring, when I took off the oil cap it was full of a light tan whipped cream substance. Clearly a mixture of oil and moisture...

    Shocks / Struts

    I did notice a difference in my ride. As you may know, this truck rides so much different, very firm but soft. (at least vs my 2000) I started to notice a little rougher ride in the rear over the last couple months. I really thought it was my imagination. Then when I rotated the tires I...
