    OEM 7 pin trailer harness HELP!

    Ok here is an update. The Haynes manual I bought indicated in the wiring schematic that the back up light wire (which I need for the surge brake solenoid lock out) is black/pink. I took out the left rear tail light and confirmed the wire going to the bulb is in fact black/pink. However the...

    Brake pad suggestions

    Interesting that you bring that pad up, before I was provided the info on EBC I was leaning toward these pads. Most of the internet reviews I have seen on the Duralst Gold are for sedans so was unsure about use on a heavy SUV. Your experience tells me they work fine. Now I have two avenues to...

    Kit Scratch Out

    Funny thing I have used the Kit Scratch Out for years with great success, especially on dark colors. A great deal at $5 to say the least.

    After market exhaust for a 2001 5.4L

    Be careful with aftermarket exhaust add on. My experience in this area I put a new Magnaflow muffler and tailpipe on my old Tahoe which had a 350 in it. Although I can't say I noticed any jump in performance what I did notice was a huge increase in interior noise! At 2,000 RPM it was almost...

    Expy newbie!

    Well the bottle of Lucas fuel injector cleaner has been run through and did not change anything.....no surprise here but thought I would share anyway. I'm getting more used to the rough idle, just convincing myself it's like my old Mustang with the racing cam, you know that muscle car hotrod...

    OEM 7 pin trailer harness HELP!

    Here is a follow up, after going to 2 different Ford dealer parts dept's. I was unable to confirm if they have a 7 pin tow plug wire harness that plugs into the main harness. As such I discontinued that approach and I happened to be at a boating store called West Marine. Low & behold they had a...

    Brake pad suggestions

    Thanks for the lead on the EBC brakes, wow they appear to have some nice stuff. They provide so many brake pad variations and all the technical info on the website is very detailed and they sell their brakes through Pep Boys which is even better since they are just down the street. Thanks...

    Brake pad suggestions

    Ok one vote for ceramic and one for semi-metallic. One fella I work with said ceramic pads wear out the rotors faster, not sure if that is true. Will have to research the internet to see what I can find.

    Brake pad suggestions

    My 05 needs it's first set of brakes, the discs are great and no warping (yet) but the pads are just about done, got 45,000 miles on them. Question, is it better to go OEM on these or with aftermarket, and would you go with ceramic or semi metallic? Although the rotors are in great shape I'm...

    That's it! Now I can print this off Ebay and see if the local Ford dealer has them. Thanks again!

    Does anybody know?

    It's located inside a black rectangular tray which is molded into the center console above the 2 cup holders. I'm sure it could be used for a cig lighter or an accessory plug in point. Since I don't smoke I use it for my ipod FM transmitter, but when not in use I'd like to cover it up. I found a...

    Does anybody know?

    When I bought my used 2005 Expedition there was no cover or cap for the 12 volt accessory plug that is located in the package tray of the center console. I've seen numerous Expeditions and none have a cover on this sockt. So I was wondering if they came that way or are the covers easily lost...

    Cargo area protector

    Thanks for the ideas, I'm looking at all options before I buy one....what would be cool is a liner that was spill proof with a lip (which is what I need for all the fishing gear and associated wet equipment I carry) that can remain in when the 3rd row seat is in the up or split position.

    OEM 7 pin trailer harness HELP!

    Spent a few hours trying to figure this out. Thanks for the website link Tony, I had run across that site while searching for answers. I plan on using the center pin for the back-up light wire, which is also the way they suggest on this website. I traced my 4 pin harness back and it...

    Expy newbie!

    I spent several hours over the weekend searching for a possible vacuum leak, nothing found. I also put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the last fill-up, I'm sure it won't help but figured it could not hurt. If anyone has other suggestions for the rough idle let me know it would be helpful...

    Expy newbie!

    Just switched over from my 95 Tahoe which I drove for 15 years. Even though it was still going strong I decided it was time to upgrade. Always being a Ford fan (owned several 65 Mustangs and a Ranger P/U) and liking that power 3rd row seat for the kids, I decided to buy the Expedition. I picked...

    OEM 7 pin trailer harness HELP!

    Been there and done that, they do not have the proper harness. The Hopkins they sell has a black round pin with about 8" of harness, there is no such plug on my harness to attach this to. My harness has the standard 4 wires with one blue wire taped to it for use of electric brakes. I need the...

    Cargo area protector

    I'm looking for a cargo liner or protector for my 05 XLT, I seem to find lots of them made from plastic or rubber that either cover the carpet behind the 3rd row seat or up to the 2nd row. These look nice but if I get the larger one that goes to the 2nd row I would have to remove it when I lift...

    OEM 7 pin trailer harness HELP!

    I just purchased a 2005 Expy XLT and after some research found out that the tow package the dealer told me my truck has is actually the "basic" class III package and not a HD package. As a result the vehicle only came with a 4 pin trailer receptical. However I have a boat with surge brakes and...
