    Changing to power folding mirrors

    Just curious, why does the DSM have to be swapped? This would mean they made two different modules, thus increasing cost, when it could be accomplished with just one module and some programming which is why they went to using modules in the first place. Can't you re-flash the DSM with updated...

    Air Suspension Restoration

    I'm pretty sure air suspension was an option. '03-'06 trucks had it on all four corners and it made quite a difference in ride smoothness. Starting in 2007 it was available on the rear only (I'm guessing they must have redesigned the front suspension). In 2014 the option went away, replaced...

    Air Suspension Restoration

    Oh yes! I tried very hard to get a truck with CCD but I just could not afford a Platinum -- and Limited models with that option are very rare. The 2013 Limited I test drove (last year of rear air suspension, roughly 50K miles) was almost as smooth and comfortable as a 2015-17 with CCD set to...

    Air Suspension Restoration

    It was a very rare option on 2015 trucks but ended up standard on 2017 Platinum and many Navigator models (they called it "Lincoln Drive").

    Third Expo needing respray around the edges

    Since this seems to be happening so much, has anyone tried a vinyl wrap on their hood and/or decklid? Wouldn't that be a cheaper solution than a respray?

    Changing to power folding mirrors

    I don't think it's been confirmed. It's not as simple though as replacing the switch. Keep in mind power-fold comes with memory mirrors. The switch talks to the Driver Seat Module and the module controls the mirrors. But, there's also an option for those w/o memory to install a separate...

    Window Bounce Back - After Replacing Window Regulator

    I replied to another thread a while back and posted the complete procedure from the factory manual. But, I do believe that was for earlier models. I don't know if the procedure changed for 2015-17.

    Air Suspension Restoration

    The air springs provide a much smoother ride -- almost as nice as CCD on the newer trucks.

    expedition 2017 headlights, grill, bumper fit 2007 ??

    I think I saw one person attempt this. It's not a straightforward swap. They did a lot to revise the front end in 2015, including some of the sub-structure. You'd need almost a complete front clip off a donor truck (except for the front fenders). 2007-14: 2015-17:

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    You can add Auto Up/Down to the passenger side by swapping in a motor from a Navigator since they come with it standard for both front windows. You'd also need to replace the driver's master window switch (not sure about the passenger switch) as the wiring is slightly different. You might need...

    2015 Expedition (3rd Gen) - Removing second row captain's chairs

    The plastic covers snap on. The photo in the factory manual (see Post 39 in the link below) doesn't offer any additional tips. You just have to get a flat-bladed tool under the edge and pop the retainers loose. 2010-->2008 seat swap

    After market console for between 2nd row bucket seats?

    Yes it bolts to the floor. You may need some sort of custom bracket arrangement to make sure it's safely secured. What makes this design different is the way the lid opens. On our 2015 Explorer 2nd row console the lid was hinged at the *front* so that when it opened the overall height of what...

    For Eddie Bauer Owners (Two-Tone Seats Leather Source)

    Another reason to consider using The Seat Shop is the fact our truck seat backs have AIRBAGS installed in them. The airbag module is hidden inside the seat foam and explodes through the seat cover. This requires special "breakaway" stitching for the seat backs to make sure the airbags can deploy...

    Front Right AC colder then Front Left

    Yes it's on the transmission tunnel directly in front of the center console. Check YouTube for videos on this for both the Expedition and F-150. The passenger side actuator is easy to access behind the radio but the driver's side is a nightmare. IIRC, the only way to get it out without pulling...

    After market console for between 2nd row bucket seats?

    I bought a brand-new-in-box Navigator console for my 2009 EL (Charcoal Black) but I didn't install it because of the way it interfered with being able to haul cargo. I had hoped to find a practical way of making it removable without too much hassle. I never did. One nice thing about the 2015...

    Front Right AC colder then Front Left

    Which actuator did you replace? Sounds like you may need a new driver's Blend Door Actuator (BDA). This controls the temperature mix. On dual-zone models, the driver's side is a nightmare to access often requiring taking out the entire dash just to get to it.

    2015 Expedition (3rd Gen) - Removing second row captain's chairs

    Yes I plan to sell them, but not right away. First I need to get take them apart and get the bottom cushions and heating elements to put in my truck. After that, I'll sell the premium leather seat covers and probably the upper cushions and the plastic trim pieces. The frames on these 2nd-row...

    Power Fold mirrors -- how do they work?

    Are you asking about adding an aftermarket or Ford accessory module to control the folding? I'll defer to TXFRDOwner on that as he is familiar with that retrofit. As for the factory setup, the power-fold motors in the mirrors are controlled by the Driver Seat Module (DSM). Since you have 202A...

    Adding power pedals

    Have you checked the wiring for this? Depending on the year, the adjustable pedal motor may actually be driven by the Driver Seat Module (DSM) and not the switch on the dash. If you don't have memory seats, you'll need to wire it up directly to the switch and of course you won't have any memory...

    2015 Expedition (3rd Gen) - Removing second row captain's chairs

    The "shipping pin" is integral to the seat frame. Apparently, if it's engaged the seat locks in the folded position. If it's not engaged, the seat can fold and unfold. Wish I could be of more help. I've pulled the center seat before, but not the outer ones. In fact, I have a pair of Captain's...

    Power Fold mirrors -- how do they work?

    201b is without memory seats, correct? In this case, you'll need to wire them through a relay (press and hold an aftermarket add-on switch for full manual control) or using a Ford or aftermarket module (push button and watch them fold/un-fold, might be able to use factory mirror switch for...

    Adding BLIS

    Sorry, I missed your earlier post where you said you'd loaded the Platinum data values. It's a good bet most vehicles use the same module as this would save Ford money. BUT, with that said, the firmware for each installation is probably quite different. For example, in a document I found about...

    Adding BLIS

    This really belongs in that other thread, but I've thought about this as well (I studied EE but went in a different direction after college). The trouble is when you start mapping out the conditions (truth table) for how you would want things to work. Ideally, you'd want the mirrors to...
