    Exterior trim piece, removal

    Whatever you do, DO NOT rip the vapor barrier or you will get water leaking into the vehicle. If you slowly/carefully peel it away from the adhesive, it will re-stick to it when you put it back on.

    Exterior trim piece, removal

    If it's like the 2nd gens, you have to remove the inner hatch panel to get to the screws holding it on.

    Eddie Bauer vs Limited

    Basic ones are monotone paint and interior. Limited will have most features standard that are optional on the EB, except Rear seat entertainment, NAV, and the likes.

    Why are Expeditions so much $$ ?

    I agree that the new smaller cars have better technology than the much more expensive Expeditions. The problem may lie with the low volume of vehicles sold, and the cost of manufacturing them/tooling the lines.

    2003 EB rear liftgate cable

    Search online for a cheap solution. It calls for a ziptie to get it working again. Can't remember which generation of Expy it's for, but worth a shot.

    Lift questions

    Yes, factory length/spec shocks would be the way to go since the lift is done with a spacer. I second the Bilstein shocks as that is what I have.

    Master Cly Failure

    The master cylinder seals probably went bad due to age. Mileage would have nothing to do with it. Actually, the more you drive it and cycle the piston in the MC, the better of you are as the seals actually get lubricated when used. With low mileage, they can go bad faster. Reporting this...

    New 2005 owner, what to do to prep for towing?

    What you have listed for preventative maintenance is a good list to have done. Check your brakes and make sure your trailer connections are working properly and the electric brake hookup is good. How many miles on it? Have plugs been changed? At that weight you should have no problem...

    Second gens have a rev limiter while in park like Tom said.

    New tires

    Check the driver's door jamb. There should be a factory sticker with the details for the recommended tires, PSI, tranny, paint color code, etc.

    Why dont we get 100% leather ??

    I assume since he is in Canada, its $80K canadian. But to the leather issue, yes.. it's just the front seating surface. Sides are vinyl for better wear and to lessen the cost to the manufacturer. Even BMW does it so it is an industry-wide practice .... however the back seats are leather also.

    How To: Kenwood DNX-5140 Install

    You have to purchase the trim kit so the stereo looks to fill the cutout in the dash. Otherwise you'll have about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch gap on the sides.

    Power cord hanging out of my front grill

    See them all over by me. It's probably for the block heater, but not sure why an Arizona truck would need it. lol

    Potential lightning donor vehicle.

    Another good thing about it is that as far as one can tell, it is still stock. Still has stock upper pulley and airbox, which also appear to have been in there a while due to the dust build-up. If those haven't been swapped out, chances are the lower pulley and tune are still stock. Doesn't...

    Is this Oasis Report Entry Normal?

    Common?......the knock can be a fairly common occurrence, but I would still question them just blowing it off. Rattling at idle when warm, not too common that I know of. Have them show you the TSB that references this and what was done to fix it if possible. Bigger question is whether the...

    Potential lightning donor vehicle.

    All the good parts look to be intact.

    Help

    If it's like a clicking or a popping, exhaust cooling down would be my guess too. Mine makes a lot of clicking/popping after shutting it off.

    1st gen Lightning questions

    The whole front end is can be swapped over, but the bumpers on the L have a different pad behind it since it is a one-piece urethane, the dash is basically the same, and the console and seats should bolt up with the correct parts. Engine parts can be swapped over too, but the ECU needs to be...

    Military Move - Gotta Tow the Car

    Weight wise you'll be OK. 750 tongue weight is a bit high, but I was at 850 for a year and didn't know it and it trailered OK. You typically don't want to be over 600 as that is 10% of the loaded trailer max,and the rating on the Expy off the hitch. Usually the higher the tongue weight, the...

    20x12 fuel octane With 305-50-18

    Lifted or not, the offset is going to kill the idea. You are basically moving the tire/rim by approximately 3 inches side to side going from a +44 to a -44 mm offset. Tires can work on a correct offset rim as ZombieSoldier initially told you.

    mags and low profile and towing

    Check the tire load rating, and that will tell you what you can tow. I believe you can just multiply the rating by 4, subtract the GVWR of the loaded vehicle, and the remaining is what you can tow safely. Lower profile tires will not tow as much as a 17 or 18 tire with a 70/75 sidewall.

    Suggestions on cleaning chrome wheels

    I know there are other more expensive polishes out there, but I always had good luck with the plain 'ol Turtle Wax Chrome Polish. Never Dull is good, as well as a chrome polish you can find at Harley Davidson dealerships. Just make sure to keep up with the cleaning like Freeway said, and a...

    Thinking of picking this up...thoughts?

    Also, if the car is for sale very soon after an accident, it won't show up on Carfax either. It takes a while for the incident to appear on the report. We purchased a 2 yr old BMW with a clean carfax, and a few years later had some body work done to it. It showed an accident about a month...

    Thinking of picking this up...thoughts?

    You are correct the panels are aluminum, but the aluminum typically hasn't been prepped correctly from the factory, and it corrodes (not rusts), causing bubbles under the paint. This is a common Ford problem on trucks and suv's with aluminum hoods and hatches. Many a pic/comment on here...
