    Picture of 2013 Integrated Brake Controller?

    That's the question I've been wondering since they announced they were putting it in the 2013 MY. So far I haven't been able to find out. My guess would be NO because I believe it is tied into the GEM unit and shows up on the message center. Maybe a reflash is required ? It would be nice if...

    Picture of 2013 Integrated Brake Controller?

    Here you go. I've been looking into this for awhile but came up with nothing as far as if it can be retrofitted into an 08. Matt

    Liquid spill into console shift area

    There is no reason to remove the chrome around the cupholders, it doesnt hold anything together. You only need to remove the chrome around the shifter, the black rubber tray to access and remove the bolt, and then carefully pry up the bezel. You can GENTLY pry the shifter shrouds off the...

    Finally finished my headlight projector retrofit (LOTS of PICS)

    Jason the headlights look great but I was wondering what it would look like with the chrome reflector housing blacked out too as it's not needed anymore with the projectors. Matt

    Dissolving carpet in 07

    Gary there were two TSB's I had them do. TSB 08-22-7 - had to do with down shift bump and hesitation, basically they reflash the computer, about 1hr of time. Cost = $92.50 TSB 09-6-1 - squawking noise with forced downshift. Replace the overdrive friction plates. This involves 11-12...

    does my stereo have bluetooth

    Nope. The factory bluetooth feature was added starting in 09. The "phone" button prior to that does nothing. Atleast your radio says "no phone" when pressed, on the factory NAV units you press it and nothing happens. Ford does/did make an add-on that does bluetooth through the factory...

    Paint Bubbling, We need EVERYONE to register a complaint! READ FORDS RESPONSE!!!

    Ford is well aware of the cause of this problem and has lost lawsuits over it. But the odds are in their favor that most people won't / can't afford to go down that route. To me, the attached pdf. seems like an admission of guilt that it's their fault. ( BACKGROUND - Ford's Scientific...

    Have an 08 with lots of wind noise

    If you have an Eddie Bauer then the textured one is the original one. Only the Limiteds came with smooth finished ( color matched ) Don't know if this TSB would apply as it was for 2007 MY TSB 07-16-15 •WIND NOISE - A PILLAR AREA - BUILT BEFORE 5/7/2007 Publication Date: August 7...

    Factory amp

    On the Expys the head unit amplifies the door speakers with a seperate amp for sub. ( Navigators have the THX DSP unit which everything runs thru ) I believe there maybe a seperate amp for the door speakers on the 09 up Expys with NAV units ( different manufacturer then 07-08 ) Matt

    Dissolving carpet in 07

    Gary I learned to put little faith in "Certified" preowned. I purchased mine as a certified preowned from the Ford dealer where the vehicle was originally purchased and serviced. While it was a real clean vehicle there was a few things that should have been taken care of prior to being put out...

    Dash Illumination

    If you are talking about the white line on the actual knobs you turn for the headlights and transfer case (4x4) then NO they do not light up. The transfer case position should show on the dash in anything other than 2WD (4x4 AUTO, 4H, 4L ) no need to look at dial. The homelink buttons on the...

    Dissolving carpet in 07

    Gary, sounds like the PO didn't take too much care of the carpet. It shouldn't be wearing out like that this soon. The locations sound odd too as most wear and tear happens on the drivers side. I've seen where some people just don't care and never even vacuum the interior. To me my vehicles are...

    Driver seat torn in 09

    Lack of care / maintenance. Most people drag their ass across the seat getting in and out. Plus wearing dirty jeans doesnt help. If the leather isnt cleaned and conditioned on a regular basis then every time you get in and out it's like taking sandpaper to the leather. I put over 193K on my...

    New Expy got Questions

    The auto dimming rearview mirror only dims when it detects light coming from the rear, such as another vehicle behind you. You can try testing it by shining a light at the small holes at the bottom of the mirror at night ( see crappy photo below) The mirror should dim, then while continuing to...

    Mach sound system sub isn't working?

    Had this happen to my old 02. It was the amp. Swapped it out with one off ebay and was fine after that. When the woofer goes it will make a buzzing annoying sound like totally distorted. The amp mounted to the sub enclosure is just for the sub ( not a 5 channel ) Matt

    Removing eddie baurer pinstripe

    Just an FYI you can order a new stripe kit from Ford. Each side goes for about $68 (covers from the front fender to the rear quarter) http://www.tascaparts.com/parts/1999/FORD/EXPEDITION/?siteid=213668&vehicleid=1354531&section=BODY%20HARDWARE&group=STRIPE%20TAPE Matt

    2006 Expedition Audio Input Center Console

    My guess is that input jack isn't factory and maybe the previous owner had a different stereo hooked up then threw the factory radio back in before selling it. What's the green switch do ? I've seen where people have modified the factory radio for aux input and it plays through the...

    Regular or Premium

    For previous generations maybe but the 3rd gen Navs use the same motor as the Expys. Matt

    S&B Cold Ait Intake - any thoughts

    VA epxy, isn't that just hood sensor for the remote start ? I would have just relocated it or bypassed it altogether. Its only there so you cant remote start the vehicle with the hood open. Matt
