    Leaking Struts again !!

    This right here. First week I owned my Expedition the front shocks started clacking and leaking. Bought the Bilsteins off Amazon and couldn't be happier. Much better quality than the scrappy Monroe crap that is OEM. Ride is 100% better, smoother, braking is much better. Pretty easy to install...

    New solution for reverse lights now with pics

    I also have the camera and its great, but the camera doesn't help you see the wheels on a trailer in your side mirrors, especially in a winding driveway.

    New solution for reverse lights now with pics

    I like to see where I am going, especially at night. Its an understatement to say the factory reverse lights leave alot to be desired. I wanted more light, but I prefer subtle looking. I didn't want to hack holes into my bumper, I can't stand lights that hang down from the bumper, I certainly...

    30" Light Bar

    I installed a cheap Amazon light bar in the Expy. I mounted it high up in the grill, inside the highest grille slot. Bought their cheap wiring harness as well. Overall cost was around $75. I had to do a little modification to the top of the grille to mount the bar and drill new holes in the...

    WARNING: 3rd Gen Revised Front Brakes

    Look at all 4 pads. They appear to be identical, but 2 pads will have 2 "humps" on the outside edge of the pad frame. 2 will not have these humps. Pretty easy to miss since the pads are literally the same except for these humps. The 2 pads with humps are the inside pad for each side. The...

    Screen/Barrier For Rear Lift Window

    I made something simliar for my jeep. I used threaded rivet inserts and stainless screws. On the plastic trim measure in (away from window) 1/2" and drill a hole for the threaded rivet insert, apply rivet to the rivet gun and press into hole, squeeze rivet gun and done. You just installed a...

    Braided brake lines

    I have a 2012 EL Limited with towing package. I just did Centric rotors and Hawk pads at all 4corners and was looking for braided lines to round out the upgrade. It appears that no one makes braided stainless lines for Expeditions past 2010. Can any one tell me the difference in brakes from...

    Programmer

    I pulled the trigger on the iTSX wireless from 5 Star Tuning with 3 custom tunes. The tune has shown a moderate increase in MPG, but I tend to drive a little heavy footed. I think the tunes are worth the $$. I will strongly advise against the iTSX platform; it is abhorrently slow! The SCT4 is...

    Maps/Sync update...... TOO MUCH MONEY!!

    I decided to NOT update the maps and even more despise it from my interaction on Thursday. 10 November is the United States Marine Corps birthday, celebrated every year with traditional formal Ball and Birthday celebration. Our Ball happened to be at Myrtle Beach, and the Ford Nav Maps took us...

And on this day we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Together we raise a glass and toast our fallen. Let their memories never be...

    2012 - Safe to change plugs myself without breaking any plugs

    I did the plugs on my 2012 on Saturday. After reading this thread and several varying points of view I decided to test it for myself. Test vehicle: 2012 El Limited, 85 k miles, factory plugs from when truck was assembled. I ran the truck for a couple minutes so it wouldn't be "cold...

    Transmission "Shuddering"

    I had the same shuddering in my wife's 08 4.6 Exploder at 146k. I did a basic trans service (Motorcraft filter and Valvoline MaxLife ATF) and it cleared up immediately. Cost me about $60. I have since changed it to AMSOIL due to getting a great deal on it. The weekend I got my Expedition I did...

    Maps/Sync update...... TOO MUCH MONEY!!

    Its ridiculous to think that these companies (whose sole purpose is to have "up to date information") are so far behind and yet charge so damned much for basic info that is FREE on every smart phone in use. Maybe i'm over thinking the plausibility of a company actually supplying a quality...

    Maps/Sync update...... TOO MUCH MONEY!!

    Just figured out that I need an update for the new to me 2012 Expedition EL Limited. $149???? My phone does it for free, what the hell is the point of paying $150 for the same feature in the car. Also, my Expy has the remote start feature. I am supposed to be able to remote start and do all...

    Replacement Tires for 2011 Limited

    I have the Nitto NT421Q on the wife's Exploder and am very pleased with them. Good all around performance, more aggressive than pictures portray, good wet traction and a 117 load rating in 275 55 20. Albeit the side wall is rather generic and plain. My other recomendation is the Hankook DynaPro...

    Replacing tires on 2015 Expedition EL - mostly for towing

    http://www.hankooktire.com/us/passenger-cars/hankook-dynapro-at-m-rf10.html I ran these in 255/60/18 and had great luck with them. I recomended them to my brother for his Cummins as well. Offered in a 120 or 123 load rating

    Transmission "Shuddering"

    Shuddering is bad. If you know it needs fluid and filter change do not delay doing so or you are going to need a new trans. I know, stating the obvious.

    07 Front diff oil change, how the heck do you get the cover off??

    A little booger on that weld, nothing a little grinding won't fix. I didn't take the cover off to do mine.... would have prefered to weld on a washer or nut to give better support, but using the small plug helps solve that issue. Good job!

    Keep fogs on with high beams ?

    So can we get an answer on how to get fogs on whenever we want? I am in the same situation with needing gross amounts of light at night due to ridiculous amounts of wildlife. Highbeams are a bit lacking. Planning on a LED offroad lightbar in the grille, but until then can we get some help with...
