    my Ex fresh outta the shop on new wheels

    No dig. Just remember similar geography and a fair amount of pics. No problem when the pics are relevant and good quality.

    my Ex fresh outta the shop on new wheels

    Nice looking ride. Did you use to post on the Explorer forums with a light metallic green Explorer? I remember posts with similar backround (and # of pics per post) as these.

    Angel Eyes

    Kind of like them, but I am partial to the Angel Eyes as my wife drives a BMW. Not sure of the Audi lights mixed in with it though!! lol.

    Any systems that can be deleted?

    You can remove the EGR system, but you will get a check engine light. I do know that you can get a tuner to turn off the light if you ever get a custom tune for the vehicle. It's possible a handheld tuner may be able to do it too, but not sure.

    Introduction and Help Needed!!

    Good to hear they are stepping up to fix it. Isn't common across all Expeditions, but isn't unheard of either. I had an Explorer that had it pretty bad. Luckily it was a lease and I just let it go until I turned it in. It typically doesn't cause any damage, it's just annoying. However if...

    strange humming and vibration.

    Could be a number of things. PCV could be getting clogged, thick oil not getting to the top-end of the motor, idler bearing going bad, bad fuel injector, or clogged cats. Sometimes the air filter housing, esp. aftermarket filters/intakes, can make a humming or whistle sound, but not sure if...

    Finally a nice enough day to wash it

    Same here! I finally got to mine on Wednesday. First time I actually have washed it all winter, however I have rinsed it off a couple of times to get all the salt and junk off of it. I forgot how good it looked under all of that crap! lol.

    2006 Expedition front blend door motor

    Glad you got it repaired. Haven't heard a lot about the blend doors on the second gens. Any tips for the future if necessary?

    Synch w/ garage door opener

    The method of programming the buttons depends on what type of garage door opener you have....ie. is is a rolling code opener or a fixed code. I don't have the instructions handy at the moment, but i think the link above will help.

    Introduction and Help Needed!!

    Does it sound like a whine? Since it only happens while accelerating, it sounds like it could be the rear differential. If the gears inside aren't adjusted properly, you get the "rear-end" whine that can be common. Typically it isn't too loud, but if your's is, you may need new gears.

    Towing capacity for 06

    Without a weight distribution hitch, on the '06 Expy you can tow 6000 lbs if the vehicle is equipped with the Tow pkg. If you have the WDH, you can tow 8600 lbs. Every manufacturer's towing capacity takes into account no cargo in the vehicle, and only the driver. For every pound extra in...

    Introduction and Help Needed!!

    Without actually hearing the noise, it will be difficult for a diagnosis. If you just bought it at a Ford dealer, I would take it back ASAP. They usually have some kind of warranty for 30 days or 1000 miles that will cover any issue that comes up.

    GPS and DVD unit

    Your best bet is to get an aftermarket in-dash double din head unit that has DVD and built-in GPS. You will have to cut out a brace behind the stock radio, but it is easily done and won't adversely affect anything. If the new unit has a video out function, you just install any overhead...

    New expedition owner, missing part on valve cover??

    Isn't that for the PCV valve? It looks as if someone deleted it for some reason.

    powdercoating

    Can plastic be powdercoated? I believe the chrome-clad wheels have a plastic cover that has the chrome finish, so it probably won't hold a good charge when the powder is applied.

    Ford Design Engineers SUCK!!!!

    Luxury brands have just as many issues. Take a look at a BMW forum. Some cars just seem to have issues, while the majority are problem free for the most part.

    Ford Design Engineers SUCK!!!!

    At nearly 70K miles, one cop has been replaced, and I have the original tires (I think since I bought it at 27K). Heated seat started to act a little strange today so I will have to keep an eye on it. Other than that, it needs new shocks. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

    Found a pic of my old jeep

    Ouch! That had to be horrible watching that and not be able to do anything about it.

    New to Forum, 06 EXP

    Welcome. Sorry to hear about your issues, but once the plugs are all replaced, and the suspension repaired, it sounds as if you'll be good to go. BTW, how much did they charge you for plug replacement?

    2004 ford expedition engine light on:(

    My guess is misfire due to COP or plug. Code will tell you which cylinder P030x with the x being the cylinder #.

    The power third row seating switch issue

    I never knew there were a set of front switches for the third row seats. Our 2006 doesn't have them.

    Kill Switch on the battery

    You're better off interrupting the power to the fuel pump. I don't think the inertia switch can be tripped by pressing the button. That is just a reset in case it gets tripped in an accident.

    2006 Expedition 5.4 Engine Fail Safe

    I had it happen about a month ago. From what I have read, it is related to the throttle body. I do believe the TPS is built-in to the 3V throttle bodies so you have to replace the whole thing. I'm not saying yours is definitely that, but I have read it happen on F150's.
