    Bug Shield or not?

    I agree , that looks good. I may put one on ours also because of the love bugs. I am irritated about the grill on ours also because I realized the Ford emblem is peeling horribly. It is just over a year old and looks horrible. I like the grill itself but if someone looks close at the emblem -...

    Removing 2007 Expy air box

    Mainly shifting improvements. Maybe a little quicker acceleration also. I was thinking of tuning it back to stock just to see how much of a difference it made. I was on the fence about doing custom tunes instead, but was talked out of it because I did not plan on doing any other mods. I did...

    Removing 2007 Expy air box

    thank you McZiggy. I am all stock aside from "canned" superchips. I still miss the throttle response that I believe my F150 received when I added the CAI. Looking to see if there is a better way on the Expy since my wife may be taking it from me. Those mpg differences are crazy -but I always get...

    McZiggy - any updates? And are you stock otherwise or tuned?

    Tires are 12 years old :(

    definitely keep an eye on them and would not use excessive speed (highway driving). Just watch for dry-rot on the tires. I would definitely have it as a priority to change them (I would probably park it if that were an option). Obviously you are aware that there is a lot riding on tires. I am...

    Performance Question

    could possibly be a different rear end also. I went from an 06 4x4 (standard length 4sp tranny) to an 11 2wd (standard 6sp tranny) and the 06 definitely was quicker. Odd thing is my 4x4 had 3.73 reard end and no tow package, my 11 has tow package but 3.31 rear end. Never thought to even check...

    2008 Limited - keep / get new one?

    I am with everyone else - I would keep it. Between 2008 and present, there have not been any significant changes. If anything, I would keep it another year or two knowing that the new engines will be coming out soon in the Expy. at that point you could decide if you want a new one with the new...

    Alternator or Battery problem? 2007 Expy EL Ltd

    pretty sure you can get the vehicle running and then just unhook the negative on the battery. If the truck stays running - then its the battery. If it sputters and dies - it is the alternator and may have taken the battery out also. Hopefully someone can help here and say if that technique still...

    Hellwigg Sway bars?

    I will try and search around on here. There was a guy who had replaced his with them and raved about the difference. Pretty sure he was a 3rd gen also - but cant remember his name. I know he said they were thicker and it made a big difference on body roll.

    thanks for posting this. I shared on another forum and am thinking about doing it to ours also.

    iPod not working

    The center console usb is very picky for some reason. I have to plug/unplug mine multiple times every now and then. It will work for a few months - and then have to do it all over again. I have tried multiple different ipods, it seems to just be picky on how it connects. Mine just recently has...

    Edge CT 2011...

    I can tell you first hand since I just put my superchips tune back in. I know it is a canned tune, but I had put it back to stock to take it to the dealer for an oil change - and the change in shifting alone is worth it. the vehicle just drives differently when it is tuned. Even my wife (which...

    07-12 Intake mod - Like Gotts mod but easier & cheaper

    Have you driven it yet to see if throttle response is better. I am tuned but have not done an intake yet. I know members on here say they are ineffective - but it made a difference on my F150. Interested to hear some results. Thanks, Mike

    backup camera ?

    To the OP - depending on which Kenwood head unit you have - you may not need to use a switch. My DDX-514 that is sitting in the garage right now had the ability to turn the camera on whenever you wanted via a button. I cant remember which one - but I think you held down the "nav" button and it...

    my experience with non-ethanol gas

    Understood Stoned06 on the boat. It is mainly 2-stroke older outboards that notice the difference in the ethanol blend. You're I/O should not see the same issues (much like I did not see a difference in my Expy). Now that we have changed our boat motor to a 4-stroke outboard (thanks to blowing...

    my experience with non-ethanol gas

    I agree - I would prefer to run just non-ethanol. I was just surprised to not be able to tell much difference. I made the mistake of running our boat on ethanol blend and it was horrible. Just not sure that I can justify a $16+ plus premium per fill up on the Expy. I may try and run 3 tanks and...

    my experience with non-ethanol gas

    I have a stock Expy with the Superchips Cortex running the normal tune. I typically buy inexpensive gas from Sam's club and get occasional pinging. I decided to look up one of our non-ethanol stations and try it. I only ran one tank and I did not change the tune (it was $.80 more/gal). at the...

    backup camera ?

    I just looked thru my threads on here - for some reason I think it was a purple wire with a black tracer down in the drivers side kick panel that sends the reverse signal. Unfortunately I have been thru a few computers since I did it so I can not find my email directions. I know I found them on...

    rear door locks

    my 06 and my 11 both unlock the drivers door only when shut off (it is a setting on the 11 and it was in the message center settings on the 06). the rears unlock when I open the drivers door also. the passenger does also I think, but my passenger is usually jumping out before I open my door...

    Overflowing at the gas station

    not sure what year you are - but my 06 had had the opposite problem in that the pump would constantly shut off before it was full. After some searches on either this forum or another one - they said that was the result of a clogged vent (i believe it was in the filler neck also). I just know...

    backup camera

    This is going to sound dumb-but do you have a visor or hat hanging from the mirror. I remember in my 06 I had a visor either on the dash or on the mirror hanging (can't remember where the sensor is) but it would always dim my mirror thinking it was in night time mode. I keep my everything off of...

    superchips cortex 1950 programer

    Not sure what happened to my post up there, looks like it was cut off (trying to get used to a new phone). But I just finished around 1000 mi with the normal 87 tune running regular with the flow of traffic and thru mountains in GA. We had 7 people (4 adults) and all of our stuff with a receiver...
