    anyone identify this brush guard?

    Looks like a westin to me as well though not sure of the model. Generally, the small bars in the side are removable. It's possible the wings are as well. However, it's been many years since I've seen a headlight replaced from the outside. if it is a westin, I had a black version on my...

    My Expedition Modifications and Write-Ups

    I'm considering adding remote start - why did you go with the Autopage over Viper or Clifford?

    2009 Brake Controller

    I was under the impression that the OEM controller was only for the F-150+ series, not the Expedition. I'd like to install it too.

    2008 Expedition EL Fuel Pump

    Not the first time I've read that. Look at the bright side....at least they are consistent with September. If you search on this forum, you'll find another post about this. People noted there other sources.

    rwd+sand

    Don't be afraid to air down to 10-13 lbs. You really only need about 5 lbs to keep the bead solid. The lower the air, the easier it will be. Front and rear - not just one or the other. A 20 is too high for loose sand. I used to run at about 15. I once came across a camaro in the deep sand...

    What year is your expedition?

    I currently have a 2011 XLT Premium EL White Platinum Tri Coat Metallic (neat paint!) with HD towing, rear headrest DVD systems, NAV. Bought it March '13 with only 15K miles at an awesome price! It was originally delivered in October of '11 which probably explains the low milage. I had a 1999...

    07 Steering wheel feels a little hard when turning

    I too went from the 1st gen to a 3rd gen Expy. The steering feels firmer to me too. I like it as it reminds me how big the EL really is.

    Name my Expy.

    Selene is too close to Saleen as in Saleen Mustang......but maybe that works for you?

    deployed and need some opinions

    I think he wants to know if he should buy it. Does it have more life - good question. Depends on how it was maintained. On Kelly Blue Book (with 5.4L, 4X4, etc), the EB goes for $3500 to $4380 private party and $5430 in excellent condition (which this isn't) at a dealer. On NADA with...

    Name my Expy.

    I say "Valhalla" - from Old Norse Valhǫll "hall of the slain" ruled by Odin. Why? Because every time you fill it up, you're going to wish you were slain and in a great place because it's going to suck your wallet dry!

    Which CAI

    I've had K&N filters on three vehicles now. Each one seemed to get worse gas milage because of it and I'm not sure the HP increased as advertised. My '99 Expedition with the 5.4 sounded nice with it, but I would have gone back to stock if I could have.

    Headrest DVD System Enhancement

    There has to be some way for the head unit to control the rear DVD systems. In the manual I have, it states that if the headrest DVD units are installed at the factory (they never are), then they will appear as options up front. I don't think you'll ever be able to "see" the video as the same...

    Front end damage

    I'd say whomever ran in to you just bought themselves a new expedition. Since the accident will be on the carfax if you every trade it in or try to sell it to someone later, you'll have a depreciated value. Get a good attorney.

    towing car trailer w/ 08 w/ tow package

    You know, there is a towing and hauling section in the forum. Weight is one question, length is another. Do you have the EL or not? Is it 4x4 as they are heavier and can tow less. How long is the trailer? Longer wheelbase is better for towing. If you have the 7 pin and 4 pin trailer light...

    What's the Limiting Factor???

    I know - Was thinking about making it a new thread. This was at the top of "today's posts" after johnbonske posted.

    What's the Limiting Factor???

    Whoa - wait a min Wow, you guys are missing something that's a LOT more important than how much power and what weight ratings vehicles have. It's wheelbase. Going by the 3rd gen specs: Std Expedition: 119" - can tow a 22' trailer safely EL Expedition: 131" - can tow a 25' trailer safely...

    Poll about 5.4l V8 and mileage

    I answered the survey for the '99 EB 4x4 I had until March since that's the one I've had the most experience with. When I sold it, the milage was around 170K. It was reliable overall - no major transmission or engine issues. However, the following were issues we dealt with related to the...

    How many miles do you have on your Gen 1?

    The '99 EB 4X4 I had until March of this year had about 170K on it. Great truck. Nothing "major" ever went wrong with it. I found the key to happiness was replacing all the plug coils though - got tired of "issues" related to coils going bad. Upgraded to an '11 EL.

    Need help installing Invision Headrest DVD

    Does Anyone know if there is a way to get the head unit to communicate with the Invision system? Manuals say if they were "factory installed" the head unit will recognize and be able to control the rear DVD systems. Problem is, I don't think any were ever installed at the factory. Mine...

    Might Trade the expy?

    I wanted a 7.3 myself. Unfortunately, too many I saw were lifted or they wanted way more than book. Settled on an '11 EL that I love. It's a little shorter in length and I believe ground clearance. But the ride is great and it tows my travel trailer well. To value your current truck - go to...

    help gotta pull uhaul trailer but losing power while accelerating

    First thing I would do is replace the fuel filter. Maybe dump as much fuel as you can (drive around?) then replace it. Fill with new fuel and if problem persists, you may have a fuel pump problem. With over 200K miles, it seems like what you described could be the pump.

    Torque Converter/Transmission ???

    If I'm not mistaken, third party warranties can be used just about anywhere. Call the company you have it with and ask them. Or, find a place with a great reputation and ask if they take your warranty.
