    ford vs the world

    Ford = First On Race Day.....nice! Even when I had my Tahoe I used to say if it wasn't for Chevy there wouldn't be junk yards....... Clearly the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon series is popular, way more on the road than Ford, but that does not make them better, probably a reflection of the...

    ford vs the world

    Isn't that why NASCAR became so popular? Competition is healthy, keeps manufacturers on their toes. But being that GM essentially went bankrupt gives you an idea of where the company stands. I have owned GM and Ford, both have positives and negatives as noted, both have lots of room for...

    Broken windshield

    There are lots of posts on the internet of rear hatch glass breaking like that but not the windshield, must have had a lot of stress on the glass for that to happen. Maybe it's covered under your comp coverage?

    2007 Expedition EL. Just took delivery. Gas shocker!

    Who really cares if it's 13 or 14 around town, we did not by these SUV's to get good mileage, it's all about the look, comfort for the family and power! The intakes and exhaust are all fun, but don't buy them with the excuse it's for mileage as they really only help the engine breathing at...

    talking about plugs....

    Why? But if you do use a good amount of high temp anti-seize and platinum plugs and you will be good to go for a ong time I just changed the plugs in my Honda Accord, 108,000 miles and it was running perfect, only took 30 minutes to do. Used the OEM iridium plugs which are $13 each, sure wish...

    TPMS question

    The local Ford parts dept. says the 05 only came with the valve stem style sensors, the later model years came with sensors that are banded to the center of the rim. I'm told the banded sensors will not work with my computer as the signal is different. It took a day of driving around town...

    TPMS question

    My 05 came with a tire pressure monitoring system which uses the electronic senders that are part of the valve stem. I replaced my OEM 17" wheels with a set of 07 18" OEM wheels & tires off an Eddie Bauer model Expy. They were take-offs as the guy went to 20" wheels. The new wheels do not have...

    Expedition Towing

    I do a lot of towing any you will be pushing the envelope on that rig. Dry weight is up there, and I know it's easy to add lots of weight with all those cabinets to fill with stuff and the gear you take on the trip, not to mention the freshwater tank....Hope most of your towing is on the flats...

    i need help on changing my brakes

    Just make sure you watch the fluid closely as if you have been adding fluid as the brakes wore down when you compress the piston it will force the fluid back into the master cylinder reservoir and overflow. I use a turkey baster looking device to remove the excess. After installing I like to use...

    Plastic cladding treatment

    I use the Meguiars Ultimate Protectant on the interior, but did not on the exterior, have used the Back to Black product on the exterior. I do like the UV block it provides.

    Stability at High speeds - Steering Noahs Ark

    Drifting has nothing to do with rim size, but could be the tire tred as some tires will follow pavement lines cut for drainage. If it's happening on asphalt roads then it's something like your alignemnt, possibly not enough toe-in, or the steering linkage or rack is worn. Larger rims will reduce...

    Cargo area protector

    I just received the Canvasback cargo liner. First impression was it's not very thick, basically feels like ballistic cordura nylon which feels like it's slightly rubberized. It does fit the rear section fairly well with the edge of it lining up with al the contours. It has pockets that allow it...

    OEM Style mudflaps

    I just got 4 factory mud flaps for my 05 off Ebay, 1/2 the price of the dealer. They fit perfectly and use the existing mounting bolts but they are a little on the big side on the back. Just get the Ford part number and run it on Ebay.

    Plastic cladding treatment

    I have been using Mother's Back to Black on my plastic body cladding and bumpers. It works fairly good but does not last much longer than a few washings. I have recently tried a product called Black Wow, it's a silicone based product that can be put on any color plastic. I was quite happy with...

    Leaking rear hatch glass

    Last few times I washed my 05 at the drive through wash the rear glass leaked at the top, I get a line of trickling water on the inside jest left of the midline. Upon close inspection of the glass and seal it looks to be in perfect condition with no nicks, cuts or debris on it. Has anyone else...
