    Help with new install

    I did it, but you will not have control of the rear DVD from the head unit any more. I hooked mine up so the rear ent system works independently of the head unit, and the kids have to wear the headphones to watch the movie. search for "Kenwood DNX-5140 Install" to see my write-up.

    Looking at a 2010

    My parent's have an '08 Explorer with the V8, and my '06 Expy gets about the same or 1 mpg worse on the highway (18.5-19.0)

    2003-2006 rust in the rocker

    What year? Ford has the rust "through" warranty that is good for 5 or 8 yrs.... Can't remember which.

    2007 Expy P0308 code

    YES!! Be careful and use plenty of PB Blaster/WD40 or something similar. Give it a couple of short twists, then spray some lubricant in there. Wait, thread back in , work it back out, etc, etc, etc.

    Brake controller

    I've heard the Prodigy is a good controller, but haven't had any experience with it as my trailer is surge brakes.

    2007 Expy P0308 code

    My guess is the plug. My 2006 got the misfire code and I replaced both the plug and COP. The plug tip was quite a bit smaller than the replacement one, so I assume that is where my issue was.

    2004 hood

    If you're replacing steel, then fiberglass will be lighter. But aluminum will be the lightest material that is commonly available, unless you want to pay out the butt for carbon fiber.

    Lightning supercharger install complete

    That's great! You have plenty left in that if you are willing to push it. What size lower pulley do you have? Stock Lightnings are rated at 380 at the crank, but typically pull 320-330 on the dyno. They easily get up to the 400+ range, but for safety reasons 400 is usually the limit...

    2004 hood

    If I'm not mistaken, the Fiberglass hoods are heavier than the stock aluminum ones too.

    2004 hood

    You'll need new hood struts due to the heavier hood, but as long as it's made to fit your vehicle there should be no problem.

    How To: Kenwood DNX-5140 Install

    I'm not sure if the '03 wiring harness for the DVD player is the same as the '06. Best way to find out is to compare the pics I have to your wiring, or to find the diagrams somewhere. I would guess the wiring works the same way..ie sound out from the DVD to the head unit, to the rear controls...

    03/06 Rear Hatch Glass Defroster

    At a minimum, you will have to remove the tint where it is over the contact point and re-adhere the wires with a proper adhesive that will allow the defroster to still work. But if they damaged the contact in any way, you may be out of luck. I would go back to the shop that did the tint and...

    what to do with rear suspension for heavy tows

    I haven't come across anything that is a direct replacement or a kit designed specifically for the 2nd gen Expy that can be used as a helper setup. If you find something that will work please let me know. I did see something from Airide Technologies that would work with some modification, but...

    Engine Failsafe Mode

    Anyone else experience this? I was driving home yesterday and proceeded to get off the highway. Stopped at a light, and when i started to go, the info center beeped at me, and the "Engine Failsafe Mode" message flashed up. The engine lost all power but was still running. I was able to coast...

    will harley f150 wheels fit on my 06 XLT?

    Those are the '08 Harley rims. While they look good on his ride, they would look great on a black Expy!

    will harley f150 wheels fit on my 06 XLT?

    ebay is your best bet. The '06 is my favorite also as the inside of the spokes are not painted the dark gray, and the '08+ rims are a bit much for me. I have a photoshop of the '06 rims on my '06 Expy and it looks pretty good. If I get a chance to find the pic on the other computer I'll post it.

    Condensation build up in oil fill tube..

    Might want to check your head gaskets. The milky white on the cap is an indicator of a leaking head gasket. Esp since it is there even after a long trip. Do a good flush, and if it's still there, I would look to the gaskets.

    Will Lightning rims fit

    The 22" 2006-2011 F150 Harley rims are pretty nice. Different years had different trim colors or new designs. 2006-07 are more understated, then they went a little bolder starting in 2008.

    2004 Expedition:Transmission Failure

    Sorry for your troubles. This is not a common problem on low mileage Expy's or F150's, so I wouldn't shy away from Ford just yet. I have towed a 6000 lb boat/trailer combo for the last 3 summers (see sig) and the tranny hasn't missed a beat (knock on wood). I bought it with 27K on it in Jan...

    Will Lightning rims fit

    No. Any Lightning rim from 1999-2004 is going to be a 5-lug. Since you have a 2003 Expy, you will have a 6-lug rim.

    V10 swap?????

    You would need more than a reflash....you would need the V10 ECU. It might fit, but will be tight. An e-fan might be necessary too. Only one way to find out, and that's to just try it.

    Headlight swith

    Yes. Did this on my '02 F150. Just be careful not to scratch or crack the switch/surround. Be gentle and use a plastic trim prybar if possible.

    Freezing Doors And Windows...

    Anytime it rains, then snows/freezes, most vehicles will have this problem if they have been sitting outside. The felt/rubber window mouldings aren't designed to be 100% waterproof. As they age they will let more water in as they shrink or wear due to sun damage. You get just a little too...

    Can to add to the factory DVD system?

    If it's anything like the '06 unit, you'll have to tap into the output wires. It's not going to be easy to find diagrams for it though. You will most likely have to test the wires in the bundle going to the screen from the DVD player, and all those wires are yellow...about 10 18-gauge wires I...

    03' 5.4L, What Superchargers are available?

    As far as noise, the Procharger will be quiet compared to the Eaton, Whipple and KB. Of the top mounted superchargers KB is the loudest, followed by the Eaton, then the Whipple. I posted on a thread a while back that had a link to all the parts needed for the Lightning Eaton install. The same...
