    Ride quality

    I tried ruining the ride of my 08 with a lift and tires...still rides better than most of the pickups I've been in. You'll be happy, very comfortable ride.

    2009 EL Supension Lift Question

    Unfortunately the 3rd generation is reduced to spacer lifts. That said, the Truxxx 3/2 will fit a 285/75/17 (roughly a 34 inches) under the wells. The paperwork with the lift stated that 35's fit on 4x4 models, but I never went that big.

    3.5/2" lift came

    If you don't do the self install...4 wheelparts charges $130 an axel. I put the new caster/camber keys in mine at the time of install, alignment never a problem.

    After Market Tuners

    Some of the programmers allow changing the shift points and trans line pressure by 25, 50,75,100%. Unfortunately, that was not an option for the 08. What can be done is raise/lower "redline" before shifts +/- 100-500. The rest of the drivability feel comes from the program. I ran mine on the...

    Performance Question

    PM sent...I think, phone went weird.

    Performance Question

    Ok, went back and researched, you have a 3.73, that's how they came. You're just fighting the extra weight penalty for the EL. I have a programmer for ya to help offset if interested. It will make a difference.

    Performance Question

    I'm in the "check the rear ratio camp". If not mistaken(and I'm sure I could be) the EL came 3.31 or 3.55. Special order available for the 3.73. The oomph you lack at the line is offset by the taller gear at cruising speed. I like the 3.73 and ordered it that way.

    Seat Easy Entry/Exit Malfunction

    The seat has a "reset". Slide the seat as far back as possible and continue to hold the back button and the seat will bump forward. Redo the memory presets and see if it holds. Mine would occasionally get messed up and wouldn't move on entry, but I never experienced it sliding completely forward.

    Exhaust Setup

    Speaking purely from personal experience...I installed 2 different exhausts on mine, much like you are talking about from your shop. 1st one was a Flowmaster 40 series, new tail and tip. At first I liked it, had a lot of bark when the skinny pedal was pushed. But quickly a problem developed...

    Hauling a U-Haul 6x12 trailer

    Might want to consider a 2 inch drop instead of the 4 inch. IMO the 4 inch will throw you out of wack with the tongue weight. As far as capacity, you're not even gonna get near 5000lbs, so the Expy probably won't even know its there. Just be prepared to watch the fuel gauge go faster than the...

    Replacement headlight bulbs?

    Light output was great regardless of driving conditions. However, note that I also swapped out the original fogs with the SilverStar 9145st also. I'm one of those guys that ran all 4 lights on at all times. No "blue hue" for me, I prefer clean, white light. IMO best set up without going HID.

    Replacement headlight bulbs?

    Had the SilverStars in mine, no complaints. Definitely brighter, whiter light output.

    2011 Expedition and advance trac questions

    When you turned TC off, did you just quickly push the TC icon on the center stack? Doing that, the sliding car icon goes solid in the info cluster. If you press and hold the center stack button, the sliding car icon in the message center will blink and then go solid. The quick push only...

    URGENT: 2009 Expy Towing Capacity

    Heavy duty trailer tow is an option. Like DF said, check the pin connectors in the rear.

    two questions

    Nav screen, can't help. Tuner...I have one that came out of my 08. Be more than willing to make a deal. Although you may not see extreme mpg gains, overall drivability becomes much improved. And the transmission actually functions properly. Pm if interested, it will be 1/2 price. HyperTech...

    2nd row perforated seats

    Interesting article...if anyone can get to the bottom of it, you're nominated! Doesn't matter much for me as mine was an Sept build 07 and didn't have NAV. Regardless, I traded her away last month and now I have it all on the new Focus Titanium, MyFordTouch, Sync, Nav, etc. Amazing how a $25k...

    2nd row perforated seats

    Just like we missed out on SYNC!

    2nd row perforated seats

    Not in the 08, the option for the second row came along, I believe in the '11 model. Probably could be retro fitted if its a must have.

    Paint Bubbling on '08 EL. Walk away?

    Hey Ty... I know Texas is a decent drive from Utah, but I just traded my Eddie Bauer with all the goodies for towing to a local dealer here in Dallas. It's not the EL, but it pulled around my 22ft bowrider with no problem(6000 lbs). Just a thought if you wanted to make a drive. Here's the...

    Had to let her go

    The ST is a kick in the pants, took one out just to play. Only problem, 5 speed tranny...wife can't do it. And considering its her commuter, the Auto won out and I lost the EcoBoost. Oh well, she's happy!

    Had to let her go

    Sad, sad, day on Wednesday...due to job changes and commutes, I had to say good bye to the Expy. We really weren't using it much anyway, she'd just sit in the driveway collecting dust and cost a fortune between gas and payment. So we got up enough nerve and pulled the trigger on a 2013 Focus...

    +1 on that. Have this plan on mine(also bought at time of purchase).

    What's the Limiting Factor???

    I can see how that could leave a bad taste, just thought I'd mention that my experience was positive with them. Keep searching, they are out there, just sucks that most salesmen don't have the knowledge of the product line.

    What's the Limiting Factor???

    LJ, who are you using as the dealership up there? Masano bent over backwards for me back in '07 when I bought mine. They didn't have what I wanted and I sat down with the salesman(John) and we searched and searched until we found exactly what I wanted with all of the appropriate equipment...
