    Audio help

    That is very informative, thank you! I had my sub out, I packed the enclosure with holofil and it helped immensely, and its the DVC. That being said, the only amp I found is sub dedicated. S/F

    Audio help

    So how do I narrow down which audio package I actually have? Been through the owners book, the sync handout, window sticker and searched the VIN.

    What did you do to the expy today

    Literally took 10 minutes. I chose an illuminated one, is a deep blue. The draw is negligible, so I'm not worried about it killing the battery.

    What did you do to the expy today

    Took out the dash cigarette lighter and installed a dual high output 2.4amp each USB port. No modifications required, well other than cutting the plug off and crimping on 2 butt connectors. Red/white is positive Black/white is negative Stays on all the time.

    2012 Expy EL Limited with factory nav, factory dvd players in the headrests and factory sub. I want to keep the factory headunit (too cheap to buy a different one that does all the same stuff), I already bought Polk DB 6501 components for the front doors, DB651s for rear doors, plan on running...

    Exactly how my 12 is. No secondary cover underneath the tray/divider.

    What did you do to the expy today

    Flip it upside down and mount it from underneath the radiator support above it. Should alleviate the interference from the ford emblem.

    That sounds more like a fuel filter issue to me.

    compression test

    Technically, no. In my honest opinion those are pretty good numbers for the mileage. What are the vacuum test results? What else makes you think its an internal issue?

    What oil/filter do you use?

    Great info! I'm getting ready to do timing chains on both my Expedition and the wife's 4.6 Exploder. Looking at the Cloyes set for both. Might try to sneak a set of cams into the Expedition if I can do it without wifey finding out.

    2008 Brake pad/rotor questions

    I prefer ceramics. Typically less dust and for the most part more resistant to heat fade.

    What about bridging the amp with a single voice coil 4 ohm sub?

    Scammed or Clueless? 2009 Expedition

    I would push for a full on 100k maintenance to be done, complete overhaul of timing components, fuel filter, trans/transfer case/diff fluids, the whole nine yards.

    What oil/filter do you use?

    Conducted thefhange to T6 on Monday. Sent the Motorcraft 5w20 with 3,069 miles oil sample out yesterday. Should know by Tuesdaynextweek. I noticed an immediate difference in engine valvetrain noise. I also am hesitant to say the VVT seems to work more efficiently. Gonna give it 500 miles and...

    Good city and highway tires, some rough patches some rain? no snow

    Well that explained exactly nothing. What kind of sedan?

    Good city and highway tires, some rough patches some rain? no snow

    Nope. I research, research, research, buy appropriately (right tire for the vic/situation), inflate properly, rotate often, ensure the vehicle is properly aligned. Replace worn steering/suspension components immediately.

    Misfired on number 3

    possible. try swapping plug and coil to another cylinder. if problem follows, its one of those. if problem persists i would look at injector, then leakdown test. leakdown will help identify lazy lash adjuster, bad rocker, worn cam lobe, etc.

    Rear differential swap

    From what i have read all of the SSV trucks are LS, some of the new Navigators offered it in the 4.10 gears. Someone smarter than me will be along to give you exact info.

    What oil/filter do you use?

    I vaguely remember that study. From what I remember that was synthetics were first being commercialized to the civilian markets. Had to be almost 20 years ago. I have had my own experiences with higher quality oils and the Rotella Synthetic won me over with my Subaru. So, we'll see what we get...
