    Marble sound in dash

    Did they have to take the drivers seat out and empty the duct? I have a similar sound and want to see if I can figure it out this summer.

    I got new tires for the beast!

    Just a quick update. I have now used these tires in every type of weather condition from back ice to blowing snow to deep snow to diving rain and overall I am very impressed with these tires. I would rate them in the top three best tires I have ever had on a vehicle: 1.) Goodyear Fortera...

    I got new tires for the beast!

    Yes, P275/55 R20. I have stock rims. I was debating on getting a set of 285/55 R20's but decided not to mainly because of price.

    I got new tires for the beast!

    Alright here is a little mini review after my trip to South Dakota. I have just over 3,000 miles on them and have been in every condition except for any type of accumulating snow (we just had a dusting one day in SoDak). Overall I would give them a rating at this point of an 8. Ill give a...

    I got new tires for the beast!

    About to take our annual hunting trip to SoDak and I decided that the tires on the Expedition were not going to make it. After a lot of online review reading and talking with various F-150 owners I finally decided on a set of Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmors. Long story short, national backorder...

    Windows slow to roll.....??

    No problem in re-attaching it, the glue was still sticky enough that I didn't have to reapply any. As for streaking on the windows. I did not do the most careful job of directing my spray. I decided to go the balls to the wall approach and lube everything. After a month or so after doing it...

    Windows slow to roll.....??

    I should have take pics but basically 1) Remove all the screws holding door panel on, I think there are two on the bottom, one on the left side, two in the cup holder and one in the door handle opening. 2) Lift straight up until panel comes free (I didn't do this and broke the little lock...

    Door panel removal?

    Yes it was really slow (ever since we purchased it used a year ago) but in the winter it would not go up without being helped up with your hand and most recently we have had a lot of rain here in Michigan and its been very humid and the window would make some awful noises going up and down and...

    How many miles are too many?

    I have 95k on my '08. We purchased it last year with 68k on it. It has fast become our go to vehicle for going up north/camping/hauling/road trip vehicle. It made the trek from Michigan to South Dakota hunting last year and will again this year. We drove from Michigan to Baltimore last month and...

    Door panel removal?

    Alright a little update. It took me about an hour and a half or so to do everything last night. I took off the door panel and was met by dust cover or whatever you want to call it that I have never seen before. It was made out of a rubber substance and was glued to the door so I had to take a...

    Door panel removal?

    Does anyone have a diagram on how to remove the drivers side door panel? I want to clean the window regulator and what not to make sure its going up and down the best it can because this morning it wouldn't go up without assistance. Thank you! *edit* actually I figured that out, what should I...

    Tires - Mastercraft?

    I am in the market for new tires and the guy at the shop is trying to talk me into some Mastercraft Courser AXT. I have no experience with this brand, and have also not seen many reviews online. I am looking at in order of preference: Goodyear Wrangler SilentArmor - $1,050 OTD BFGoodrich...

    Vibrations at hwy speeds

    I had a very bad vibration when we first purchased our used '08. I took it to my dealership and he said it could be two things or both. The wheels threw a weight and needed to be re-balanced and my rims were in rough shape due to the previous owner really liking curbs and that could be throwing...

    Safari Bar?

    This is what I am considering getting: Westin Ultimate Bull Bar I am not sure if I want the chrome or the black (my Ex has the color coded grill). The only thing on my vehicle that is chrome are the door handles and the rear lift gate thing. But the chrome might make it pop. Anyone else have...

    Replacing the 08 Exp front grill???? Help!!!

    I agree with you on that, its one of the reasons we decided to get a slightly older Expedition rather than a newer one was the same color grill. It looks great on the vehicle (in my opinion).

    NAVTEQ Map Update V6.0X

    Referring to the speed limit comment. At least for me I find that whenever a GPS (I have a Tomtom and have used a Garmin) displays the speed limit I find that it is wildly inaccurate. The Tom Tom I have has the most recent update on it and for some reason it thinks all the highway speed limits...

    Bulbs for a 2008...

    Thanks for the reply, I noticed after I received the LED bulbs that the puddle lights are not what everyone says they are (like you note in your post). I am thinking about cutting the two halfs apart and replacing them with the bulbs that mention (31mm). All the other bulbs were super easy...

    Bulbs for a 2008...

    Safari Bar?

    Does anyone have a safari bar on their Ex? I'm thinking about getting one with some offroad lights on it and was wondering what it would look like on my Ex, I had one on my Ranger and Explorer and really liked them. Also on a side note does anyone know if they make skit plates for the...

    NAVTEQ Map Update V6.0X

    I think I have version 4 in my 2008. As far as the expense I will say its one of the best mapping software I have ever used (both on and off road). It had roads that neither my atlas or google maps had.

    Photos of Trailer(s) that you tow with your Expedition

    That's an awesome website, thank you. I added some reviews of Michigan camp grounds that I have been to. I have no idea what I want to get. The wife wants some type of camper instead of a tent (I prefer a tent) but I have learned what she wants is what I want. So I am on the hunt for...

    Photos of Trailer(s) that you tow with your Expedition

    How does it tow the pop-up? We are considering getting something along those lines. I see you also have the cargo basket. He love ours, its also great for tailgating, you fit more people in the car and put your coolers and grill on the roof.

    Shocks / Struts

    What would be the best replacement shocks for a non EL Expedition? I am coming up on 100k on mine and think I am going to include it in my 100k service. Thanks!
