    Nav head units

    I have a Kenwood double din umit in my 2008. GREAT unit. I added the bluetooth unit after I had installed it. Worth every penny. I also have a backup camera that works with this head unit. I bought the head unit from Crutchfield.com and the bluetooth unit from Overstock.com. Since I...

    Extended warranty

    I'm a fan of the Ford ESP's. Once you buy the plan, it "attaches" to your VIN. When you bring in your vehicle for service, the dealer enters you VIN, and you only pay the deductable for covered repairs. When pricing, figure a 100% dealer markup. There is lots of negotiation room on the...

    Remote Start Price Question

    UPDATE: I had the remote start system installed yesterday afternoon. Took the installer about 2.5 hours total. The total price was just over $300 with Massachusetts sales tax (they tax everything in Mass!). $189 for stater, and $100 labor. Works great. But then again, I only had it...

    I probably could negotiate with them, and will try next week befoire I sign off on the install. But it is being installed at a dealership and their labor rates are alwys higher than a local audio store. But they do have "factory trained" technicians. I have been on the Wilmington Fire...

    2nd gen vs 3rd gen

    The 3rd generation has a 6 speed transmission vs the 4 speed of the 2nd generation. This will allow the engine to run lower RPM and get better fuel economy. Also, 2009 and newer vehicles can run E-85 fuel. My 2008 can't and when I was traveling thsi past August in the midwest, E-85 was...

    F150 extendable mirrors

    They wiill NOT. Just after I bought my 2008, I went to a Ford dealer and they had some time to pull out both an Expedition mirror and one for a F-150. There are major differences in the bolt pattern and plastic shrouding on the door. Sorry for the bad news. I'm still looking for an...

    Auxiliary Reverse Light Question

    Can you still access the wiring connectors with that light there? I may just drill into the recevier hitch to mount some additional lighting, like I did on my F 250. The lights use one of the upfitter switches that are available on the pickups. All you need is a sharp drill bit and a...

    Where do you mount your brake controller?

    I mounted my P3 on the lower dash near my right knee. The P3 mounting bracket has some "pivot" in the unit, and sits just a few degrees off level. I've had no issues with the controller mounted there. The directions actually say you can mount the P3 a few degrees "off level" with no...

    Studded Snow Tires 255/70R/18 ??

    Pet, I don't know where you are located in Mass, but I really don't think you need studs. I live in the mountains of Vermont and my Ex has had no trouble with over 1 foot of heavy wet snow on unplowed roads. I also have an F250 and have never needed studded tires. Yes I have gotten...

    Headlight removal

    I am planning on installing a pair of hide away strobe tubes in my front marker lights. (I am authorized to use flashing lights since I am a friefighter.) How do I remove the headlight/maker light assembly in a 2008 Expedition? The whole assembly needs to be removed so I can drill a 1 inch...

    Power Window

    When I bought my 2008 used this Spring, I also had trouble with the front windows. I thought I could just lube the tracks. Once I removed the door panel on the passenger side, I realized it was going to need more than just lube. The cable was frayed and needed replacement. I called my local...

    Brush Guard

    I put a Go Rhino on mine. Grill guard only, no bars over the headlights. I bought mine from a local police supply outfitter for $250. Took me about 2 hours to install it. The direcdtions called for removal of the tow loops(hooks), but when I mounted the guard, I also put the loops...

    A/C blower issue on 08 EB?

    Other than replaceing the control head, you may be SOL. I had an issue with my 08 climate control while on vacation a few weeks ago. While replacing my strero head unit (another issue totally), I removed the wiring harnesses from the climate control so I could remove the center stack...
