    What did you do to the expy today

    Finished the add-on blinkers on the outside of the mirrors project. Maybe now people will see my turn signals and it will reduce them cutting me off.

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    Most trans coolers packaging include a note or chart that dictates the amount of fluid to add. As previously stated the transmission fill plug (19mm IIRC) has a small plastic dipstick inside of it. Install the cooler, level the truck, start it and pull the plug and check the dipstick. Add fluid...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    Since he doesn't have HD towing package his trans cooler should just be a simple "loop" in front of the radiator (I may be wrong in this, but that is what was typical on other Fords) or the standard in-radiator cooler. Either one won't have a pressure monitor as the pressure/temperature monitors...

    Cam timing.

    I don't think there is anyway to verify timing without removing front cover. I'm no expert, but i would do it right the first time and not have to do it again. Bite the bullet and pull the front cover, verify timing and try again. Best case scenario; you adjusting the chain and all is well...

    Gotts Mod??

    After having it in a couple months I am still convinced the 2012+ intake snorkel swap was a great mod. Noticeable power increase? Not sure since I have custom tune. Butt dyno? Not sure Sound change? Negligible Economy? I think a little bit but hard to tell as wife tends to do the "I used the...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    Its not hard to do it yourself. Just purchase a QUALITY cooler. You can add it as a supplement to the factory cooler or to replace the factory cooler.

    Those puzzle-piece gym floor mats

    I grabbed the rubber bed mat from a new F150. Cut it to size (width is almost perfect when cut in line with wheel wheel cutouts, length was close for my EL, but still had to cut down) and laid it inside. Had same issue with the 'smell' of the new rubber. I just left it out on my mesh trailer for...

    Leather cleaner / preserver

    I put Carhartt seat covers on mine (front seats, 2nd row captains and 3rd row) which is made crom the heavy 1,000 denier cordura. While not exactly cheap, they do an excellent job of protecting, being tough as hell, easy on and off and machine washable. The heated and a/c seats still work just...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Time to rip the steps off my EL Limited and rebuild them. They are starting to act up and I want to nip this in the bud before it gets too far gone.

    Quick Sudden stop, brake pedal seems to slowly return and brakes continue to grab

    The continued braking after releasing the pedal is a classic collapsed/collapsing brake hose symptom. The master has plenty of pressure to force the fluid through the bad hoses to the caliper and force it to clamp, but the "vacuum" that is supposed to draw the fluid back out of the caliper is...

    Windshield wipers

    The Rain-X wipers I got are the correct size, but the passenger side doesn't maintain contact with the entire windshield, mostly down at the lower corner. I have been less than impressed with them since I put them on back in November. I have had good luck with the Bosch in the past. I think I...

    Use Rain-X or equivalent product on glass. DO NOT BUY RAIN-X WIPERS, THEY SUCK!!

    Replacing Pirelli ATRs

    Take offs are your best bet. The Hankook DynaPro AT/M is a pretty damn good tire. Came stock on the F150s with FX4. The truck guys complained they didn't do well on wet pavement unless there was a load in the bed. I had amazing luck with them on the wife's Exploder. If I had the chance to get...

    2015 Ford Expedition wheels

    Had the same issue with the wife's Exploder. I simply used a grinder and cut the offensing portion of the cv shaft stub off. Had to make 2 cuts at about a 45 degree angle so I wouldn't marr the wheel studs. Wheels fit right on with no issue afterwards. Has no impact on the cv shaft stub, when I...

    Power Folding Mirrors Issue ?

    I have had several instances where people have cut out in front of me because they "couldn't see my blinker" (upgraded with bright LED bulb but people here must be blind). I have purchased a set of motorcycle blinkers to add to the front side of the mirror. The idea is to give more visibility...

    What did you do to the expy today

    I have 3.73 open front and rear in it from the factory. Was looking for OEM as I didn't want to pay $1k for the diff upgrade when I could get a used oem for $150. IF I could find one

    I want LSD for my 2012 El limited. Finding one around here with 3.73 is impossible

    What did you do to the expy today

    Not to split hairs, but turbos utilize hot air pressure (exhaust) to spin an impeller that is attached via a single shaft to another impeller. The 'other' impeller then sucks ambient temperature air through the air filter(s), compresses that air and pushes it into an intercooler, which when...

    What did you do to the expy today

    The license plate lamos are the same as the ones used in the interior. The puddle lights are a whole different beast. The bulb is sealed in the housing, the housing has to be seperated or cut apart and then wire in an led bulb. I purchased (for alot of money) an aftermarket set that are stock...

    Alignment issues.... HELP!!!

    Rotated tires all the way around. Front tires were initialy swapped side to side them properly rotated. Front tired had a mild amount of chop on inner AND outer tread blocks but no other uneven wear on any of the tires.
