    Full Size Tires for lifted Expys- Fitting a big circle in a round hole

    My yardstick on my 2002 measures around 32 and 5/8 inches from trackbar to tow hitch. Currently I have a 26570R17 mounted underneath measuring a diameter of a tad over 31and 1/2 inch giving me about an inch to spare no pun intended. I believe a fully inflated 28570R17 tire measures a tad under...

    Fuel Pump replaced. No Fire, No Fuel! ?

    UPDATE: Having sent my PCM to Module Experts in Jacksonville Florida I was assured to have an analysis of it within 1 to 3 business days. Cost of analysis was around $100 and if it could be repaired they would do so for another $66. Total with tax and shipping was close to $200 analysis and...

    Need To Replace My Fuel Tank

    Might want to check with the salvage yard before laying your bets. The local "pull a parts" here drain all the gas tanks by puncturing a hole in them before the vehicle is placed in the yard. So even those would need repair.

    Info on back of drivers liscence?

    IDENTITY ALERT!! Ignore anyone asking for a copy of your drivers license. There are bar codes on the back that can contain more information about you than on the front and can open you up to identity fraud. There is no reason for someone to request your drivers license other than for...

    Fuel Pump replaced. No Fire, No Fuel! ?

    :33: I recently replaced (throwing parts at a problem) what I believe to be the original fuel pump in my 2000 Expedition (Blackie). Purchased from Advance Auto Parts. It was the Carquest brand. The main thing I did not like about it was the power connector on the replacement Carquest pump did...

    Replacing taillight lens and not the whole assembly?

    The lens is either cracked or leaking at a seam.Normally the lens are made up of 2 or more pieces and joined together with a glue or sealant. Sometimes this can leak at the junction of the pieces if the sealant fails and it causes the condensation you see within. The vent hole was probably...

    Replacing taillight lens and not the whole assembly?

    I apologize for not being clear. Link was for incandescent light assembly for a 2019 Expedition which was much less expensive and comparison was comparing LED light assembly posted earlier in the thread for a 2019 Expedition that was listed at over a grand or 20 times the cost of a regular...

    Replacing taillight lens and not the whole assembly?

    It's crazy when you can buy a new tail light for a 2012 Expedition for $34 but for a 2019 Expedition which is pretty much the same size and plastic composition it cost 20 times as much and lists for over a grand. Go figure. Will this one work? Considerable less. 2018-2019 Ford Expedition Rear...

    Grill LED's

    Being a very popular Atlanta rock and roll radio station in my youth, you saw a lot of these upside down on vehicles and t-shirts in the 70's and 80's. It meant TURN IT UP!

    Grill LED's

    No need to remove the bracket. If you obtain a new brake hose it will be integrated with a bracket already attached as shown .

    LEDs on the 3rd brake lamp omy 1999 XLT

    194's will also work in either incandescent or LED. Nice thing about LED, does not give off as much heat as the incandescent. I have seen the third brake light lens melt and distort in the area of the bulb with a incandescent light.. Third brake light replace bulb to LED | Ford Expedition Forum

    Removing Nameplates For Repaint.

    Here in Georgia, we call duct tape on cars, "Alabama chrome". :signs8: Nothing against Alabama, I love the state and people there so much that I own property there.

    Removing Nameplates For Repaint.

    As I did here, with black duct tape. If you use a thicker mil tape it will last a couple years before needing a redo. Duct tape now comes in many patterns and colors. Bought some camo the other day as well as diamond plate tape. You can also use a vinyl sticker film self adhesive (wrap)...

    Removing Nameplates For Repaint.

    The door bumpers, otherwise known as body molding, are attached with adhesive tape. I believe the nameplates are as well . Use a heat gun or even a hair blow dryer to apply some heat and they will peel off. Don't know about replacing the chrome insert, but it can be covered with tape in the...

    would you use a chinese part on your exped? (rear window strut)

    Yep, threw away the box today. Plainly said "Made in China". Even so, not the cheapest solution. Scrap piece of PVC works fine to hold glass up. Guess I should buy a set for Whitey too.
