    My old ride, she was good

    Loving the 11, still getting used to the higher gear ratio rear end, ordered an edge but then cancelled because I may be going with 5 star. Freeway-the kenwood ddx514 and bluetooth that we're in it are sitting in a box in my dining room now, trying to decide if I should sell it-the 2011 stereo...

    Who has Children as an Expedition Owner

    one daughter - but even when just the three of us travel - every inch gets used. Also not uncommon for another family to just hop in with us on the weekends or my parents join us for dinner. I tried to downsize, but the boat (only about 4500 lbs) was too cloase to the limit for smaller SUVs, and...

    What did you do to the expy today

    ordered my Edge Evo HT for it, can not wait. Was really tough to decide between edge, superchips, or SCT - but i do not plan on doing any engine mods, so i figured "canned" was the best solution for me. Just hoping to get a little more off the line and better throttle response. Loving the new...

    2011 xlt sub harness

    Freeway - you wouldn't want my amps. I have been fortunate that they are the same ones I have in multiple vehicles for over 15 years. I even have a couple of other ones that are in friends boats. i have just been lucky with them, but they are not pretty. I think I have all of my big ones loaned...

    Edge or superchips

    Thanks Chappy. I spoke with Mark today and he did not disappoint. Unfortunately the only one available for 2011 is the basic Evo HT. He said it has the same tunes as the CS and CTS but just not the gauges etc. He also told me to just order it online and verified one of the places I was looking...

    2011 xlt sub harness

    911Jason-I have a standard length Expy, have not seen a prefab for it (would definitely consider that instead) , I want to try and keep stock appearance because when we travel, we use every inch of space in the Expy. I have 5 10"s and 2 12"s laying around and amps from a past life, but...

    2011 xlt sub harness

    just trying to add the factory sub. my xlt does not have a subwoofer and i miss it from the other Expy. I was going to buy the factory amp/sub and put it in there and was hoping the wiring would already be there. I like the factory one because it is completely out of the way. I have not seen an...

    2011 xlt sub harness

    anybody know if the wiring is already there? I could pull the panel and check - but figured one of you guys may have done it already. I am probably going to just put an oem one in if it is already prewired. Thanks, Mike

    Edge or superchips

    Having a hard time going from the 3.73 rear end to ta 3.31. Which tuner do you recommend? I was going to look at Mike and five star also, but I am not sure that i will be doing any other mods though. I realize this will not change ratio, but just need a little more punch when pulling in to...

    My new ride

    It will still work-but I think if you unlock with the keypad instead of using the alarm fob, I believe the alarm will go off. The vehicle will still be armed and see the unlocking of the door by keypad as an intrusion (I think). I have not gone over this with the guy to make sure, and probably...

    My new ride

    Thanks guys. Wife hated the color, but she drove it yesterday to get the remote start done-now she loves it. they are doing the remote start tomorrow because I decided I wanted 2-way communication, so they are doing an alarm also. Gonna miss not being able to use the keypad. Still trying to...

    My new ride

    lets see if this works. It is a 2011 with heavy tow. I was not my first color choice - but I kind of like it now.

    popping sound

    definitely sounds like the stock amp popping. When I installed my aftermarket deck in the 06, I put a resistor on the amp turn on (blue wire). I actualy was supposed to use two - but one made it quieter. I just never got around to pulling the deck again and putting another one in. I can not...

    2011 Remote Start

    Hoping I do not have ya'lls issues. i am getting remote start installed this weekend and the dealer actually recommended using their guy with an aftermarket system and that way I can keep my standard key fobs also. It is actually cheaper too. I will let you know how it goes and what the system...

    Blessed Day

    Amen - missed everyone yesterday between stomach flu and chasing the little one around at Easter egg hunts, church service and even a token boat ride here in paradise with family. All while still trying to keep food in me - but awesome day none the less and thankful for every single one of them...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Was set to do the Gott's mod this weekend now that I have new plugs - but ended up trading her in on a shinier newer one. I am a proud new poppa again.

    About to install a head unit in my 07 Expedition -- any tips?

    I cant help on the install because my 06 dash is different than yours, but my bluetooth mic is at the top of the a-pillar right where the plastic meets the headliner and it appears to work pretty well - except for when the windows are down.

    differences between 2010-12

    YEAR TO YEAR CHANGES 2004 Ford Expedition: Wider availability of the power-folding third-row seat led the 2004 changes to the smaller of Ford's two full-size SUVs. ABS and power-adjustable pedals were standard. Options included a load-leveling suspension and Ford's AdvanceTrac system. The...

    differences between 2010-12

    I am looking at trading our 06 in on an 11 (XLT). But just wanted to make sure that their were no major changes. I do not recall anything powertrain-wise, but I know the models had changed (no more Eddie Bauer) and I think the 12's have lighted door sills, but a dealer here has some 11' that...

    06 Expedition Spark Plugs

    That is really odd. I have seen all of the turmoil over the plugs so I called my dealer to find out a cost also. He told me $229, and I forgot how much per broken plug. Mine is an 06 also and has 71k on it right now. The guy told me he has a mechanic that hardly ever breaks them and makes sure...

    What's your GAS price in your town?

    3.73 at Sams Club yesterday here in the Tampa Bay Area of sunny FL. I am getting almost 12 mpg now though. Not sure what changed, by I was barely getting 11 before. Tried driving very gentle for a month and it only netted me about .5 better - just was not worth it. Considering moving up a couple...

    need all of your oponions on a new intake

    look forward to hearing your reviews on it.as my wallet gets lighter-my upgrade expy path may be delayed some. So I may start doing a few things to this one instead. Good luck, Mike

    need all of your oponions on a new intake

    I believe it only gave me about a half mile per gallon better. But the throttle response was a lot better. I do not drive very conservatively though. I do not recall ever changing my filter out. I believe you can get the power core filter now which is a dry filter you can just blow out. I think...
