    Need a programmer and a tune?

    Now I'm talking to a local SCTS sales rep at Fuel Injection Specialties (https://fuelinjection.com/) on the phone and they are hands down the best support I've talked to so far! When the difference in customer facing skills is so dramatically different, it makes the buying decision much easier.

    Need a programmer and a tune?

    Tuners and Programmers Wow... the nightmare continues! I just had a disappointing conversation with the Edge Tech support guys. TECH support. got that? this came from the people they staff the TECH desk with... so, first of all, using their terminology (for SKU 85450, the Edge Insight CTS2)...

    Can I tow this?

    this rig is pushing it. a very experienced tow driver could probably do it with minimal risk.

    Need a programmer and a tune?

    I've been looking for a tuner/programmer that includes a vacuum gauge and an ammeter in its set of displayed gauges for almost two weeks without success. do you offer a solution? I've seen comments here that 5star doesn't monitor this forum. Given the very low level of forum participation I've...

    XLT SSV third row seat install

    I installed a set into an 04. Only really had two issues: 1) Seat track alignment matters. Youtube is your friend. 2) mine did not start with power seats, so i have yet to figure that part out. I did get the pigtails and switches from the donor vehicle. But for that, the actual bolting in was a...

    04 wiring diagram

    I have a wiring problem which I might be able to fix if I had the right documentation. I think I need a wiring diagram that shows the power connection to the 3rd row seats and their switches for an 04 Expedition. I bought a police package from a fire department; they removed the 3rd row, which...

    Need wiring location at computer

    sorry to hijack your thread. I have a wiring problem which I might be able to fix if I had the kind of documentation you are using. I need a wiring diagram that shows the power connection to the 3rd row seats and their switches for an 04 Expedition. I bought a police package from a fire...

    Summit Tuner ? Programmer response

    you’d think, but no. They create opportunities for new businesses to start. Give people an alternative to poor value and don’t be surprised if they take it.

    Cold air intake?

    has any CAI, in any street application at all, ever been on a dyno, before and after? has any CAI ever measured intake temps before and after? does anyone have these results?

    Cold air intake?

    once upon a time, during a cold chicago winter, my Merc Gran Marqui coughed loudly almost as soon as I turned the key to start it. it would go no further. The dealership found half the air filter ripped apart to build a nest for a squirrel. following the trail of trash into the engine, they...

    New Expedition Owner from IN

    i bought an 04 SSV 4x4 a year ago; it was under 100K miles. it was in showroom condition, especially the interior. I think it was a fire department supervisor's vehicle. all told, including fuel and tires - absolutely everything - I've got $12,410.22 in it now and it's sitting at 103,098 miles...

    Advice for possible purchase of '18 Exped. Platinum

    Because I had the luxury of time, I did years of research and watching the market before I bought my 2nd Gen Expy last year. One thing I learned is what you found on the carfax. they are hit or miss. no one HAS to report anything they do to carfax and if they don't, carfax has no way of knowing...

    Advice for possible purchase of '18 Exped. Platinum

    IMO, CPO warranties are a significant value add, as long as they come from a credible source, such as Ford, Toyota, etc. the whole thing sounds good to me, but I would definitely have a mechanic I trust take a look at it. before i bought my 2nd Gen a year ago, I paid 250 to my regular mechanic...

    Summit Tuner ? Programmer response

    I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents on 4 wheel parts. they will never see another dime from me. they got a few hundred dollars from me a few years ago, which I then had to spend twice over at the dealership to fix their screwups. they don't get a second chance from me. that's the great thing...

    Oil Filter Relocation Kit

    I think that's a great question. Other than increasing volume, what is the benefit of two filters of the same... I'm not sure what the term is... filtering capability? however the filter's ability to screen smaller and smaller particles... ? I'm thinking that the second filter might not...

    Removing half the air cleaner tube

    A question i have been asking for some time. Including the vendors. No one has an answer. I have also specifically asked how much is the drop in temp. Again, no answer. Seems like a scam. I believe the theory, but the application i have seen are ineffective. Anybody got before and after dyno runs?

    Summit Tuner ? Programmer response

    I have asked several vendors, and posted the question here and other places, including the only local custom tuner i found. Still waiting.

    Oil Filter Relocation Kit

    There’s always some “karen” more than happy to tell you how wrong you are. question: why would two filters drop the oil pressure? In this case, isn’t the increase in volume transparent?
