    2009 Brake Controller

    To install the OEM controller, you will need to also change out the brake master cylinder. In my 2008 Expedition, I added a Tekonsha Prodigy. Works great. In my F250, I do have the OEM controller, and it is as good as everyone tells you it is. Good luck.

    Strange noise from engine

    I had the same issue. The dealer dignosed it as an issue with the exhaust manifold. All taken care of by the exteneded warranty. Good luck.

    Power Window Fail

    I'm guessing the switch is bad or a wire is crossed. Just a guess though.

    Audio input Interface

    If you stereo has the aux button on it, you can get a PIE adapter that plugs into the back of the stereo and will supply you with aux in jack. Do a google search for AUX in adapter for your model year truck. I had one in my 1998 F 150 and it worked great!

    Strobes

    I have hide aways in my back up and brake lights, plus my front marker lights. Very simple install. I highly recommend Whelen strobes, not LED hide aways. The strobes put out a much better flash than do hide away LED's.

    Towing Mirrors

    Carts, As already posted, thes F 150 mirrors will not work on the Expeditions. The doors and mirror mounting points on these vehicles are very different. If it were a simple swap, I would have already done it and be marketing a kit for the swap, but it will take lots of metal and body...

    Expy without a hitch :(

    Find a local RV dealer. They can install the hitch and wiring and should have access to all the big manufacturers. Stay away from U Haul. Not the most knowledgable about installations. If you want to do it yourself, E-trailer.com. I've bought several items from them without any...

    Brake Problems

    You will also need a 9mm allen wrench to loosen and remove the caliper slide pins for correct removal of these calipers.

    Aftermark Rotors

    Last month i replaced the front rotors and pads on my 2008 with NAPA premium. The NAPA costs a little more but comes with a lifetime warranty and is backed by all NAPA stores should I ever have an issue. On a side note, about two weeks after the brake job, my right front caliper seized...

    Looking to buy a New trailer

    I have a Road Force (made by Wells Cargo) 7 x 14 dual axel trailer. I've had the trailer for almost 10 years. Never had any issues. Get the dual axel trailer, with brakes on both axels. Much safer to have the trailer using its brakes to stop everything, than having the Expedition's...

    Extended waranty for EL Limited

    Make sure it is a Ford ESP. As RI Matt has written that is high. Most dealers go for a 100% markup on the ESP's. Lots of room to negotiate. Good luck.

    Please help me and my brake controller

    Is the fuse or relay installed under the hood? I know on my F250 I had to install a relay under the hood. Check the trailer tow fuse in the fuse box. it may not be there or blown.

    Removed my 08 expy roof rails today!

    A little off topic here but, do any of you that have removed their roof rails have the cross bars they would be willing to part with? My 2008 did not come with them and I am playing with the idea of mounting a low profile exterior warning bar (Whelen Dominator) to a cross bar. Thanks in...

    Ordering brake pads and rotors

    Anybody know any tricks for reinstalling the metal "clip" on the outside of the caliper? I know where the piece goes, but it doesn't want to "seat" itself? Marc

    2008 Expy el towing and wiring help

    I suggest running a whole new harness for the 7 pin connector. You just need to run 2 wires -the trailer brakes and power to the trailer. Take the wires from the existing flat four connector and runa wire to the back up lights to complete the 7 pin connector. I would highly advise an...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Gave it a new windshield. I have to give a shout out to Portland Glass for a great job at great price. ($236 installed) I don't have glass coverage on my insurance.

    The new 2014 Ford Expedition!

    It's just a rendering. Looks like a Toyota Landcruiser with an F150 grille. For a true rendering, just photoshop an integrated cap onto a new F-150.

    push bars!

    I have a Go Rhino on mine and Whelen strobes in the turn signals, plus a pair of red Whelen M7 LED's mounted to the grille. I also have a Whelen 200 watt siren with 2 speakers (one behind the grille and the other mounted to the pushbar). I'm trying to get the wife to agree to more front...

    Ordering brake pads and rotors

    I too am doing the brakes on my Expedition. Just the front though. I've got some really bad warped rotors. I can get all the pads and rotors at my local NAPA for $300. Should I have any issues with parts it's a whole lot easier to drive to NAPA tahn trying to send something back and deal...

    Picture of 2013 Integrated Brake Controller?

    The 08 Ex is prewired for an aftermarket controller, if the vehicle has the trailer tow option, but not the integrated brake controller. Sorry about the confusion.
