    Sulphur smell from A/C?

    So, last Thursday, about halfway home from work, I got a strong sulphur (rotten eggs) smell from my A/C ducts. I figured it was something I was driving through, until I stopped at a local store and the air outside was fine. The smell continued when I got back in the truck and headed home. I...

    Double DIN Fitment in 1st Gen.

    And actually, most of the units that will fit, Crutchfield will tell you they don't. www.sonicelectronix.com seems to be a better site for actual fitting information. I put my Pioneer 3200BT in my '01 in less than an hour (start to finish) with the help of a Dremel and my 11 y/o son. Any...

    for those with a CCW, where do you keep your sidearm?

    Tony, did they redo the checkering on the Glocks or is that something special on yours? I haven't handled a Glock in a few years. Kinda partial to my 1911's.

    for those with a CCW, where do you keep your sidearm?

    Agreed. As a dad with several children, I do not have my gun "loose" in the vehicle and certainly not just shoved down between the seat and console. If I am worried about the butt wearing on the seat back over a long period of time, I keep a small dishtowel sized towel with me to pad it. I...

    And the beat goes on... This time electrical maybe?

    Has it been raining? My radio did that one time after sitting on an incline during a full day of steady rain and we figured it to be the GEM...Once it dried out, I had no more problems, although every now and then, my fan will keep blowing after I shut off the engine and remove the key. When...

    My first Expedition, have a few questions and comments!

    And Amazon beats that price by $40. I picked mine up there a few weeks ago and installed them. They work great! Accel COPs

    How to Take Out 6-Disc CD Changer from Center Console?

    That's exactly how it worked on my '01. However, if you are leaving it out, step 4 is the last one you need. I could not believe how much space i had afterward.

    new stereo coming soon.

    I just installed a Pioneeer AVH-P3200BT into my '01 and I couldn't be happier. I went with this one for several reasons. I did not want a flip up screen and I do not like motorized faces. This limits me to the 5" screen on the 3200, but I am fine with that. On my Expy, I had to cut a...

    Keyless remotes don't work while truck is running?

    My '01 is the same way. Not sure why, though. It doesn't make sense to me.

    How is your cargo area organized and what do you keep back there?

    ^^^This exactly. 95% of the time I have the third row in the truck and in use, so this is what I generally carry and how I do it.

    Quick question...

    I'm glad you said that. I am going to put the XM unit in this weeknd and have been trying out different mounting spots to keep it protected as much as possible. I thought about mounting it to the back wall inside my console, because I have more than enough room in there since I removed the 6...

    need help wiring radio

    JD is probably right. My "Premium" stereo in my '01 doesn't have a sub, either. In fact, other than the words Premium on the door speakers, I think the only thing that qualifies it for that title is the fact that I have audio controls on the rear of the center console. I will admit to being...

    Quick question...

    OK, so yesterday afternoon, I got my AVH-P3200BT installed. Well, I got the headunit installed, but ran out of time and daylight, so I still have to run the Bluetooth and the GEX-P920XM unit. I had to modify the subdash more than what the Metra kit called for, and then had to modify the...

    What to do??

    Most dealerships will not install parts that you did not buy from them, so you may want to check first. That is another place where most small shops work out better. I can't speak for your '05, but I changed the fuel filter on my '01 in about 10 minutes while lying under it in my driveway...

    Replacements for stock speakers?

    Thanks for the tips, guys. bhsoulja, I have no amp, and am not tooworried about bass. The speaker will just be powered off the deck. My stock setup is the factory radio (non Mach) with the 6 disc changer in the console. The changer hadn't worked since I bought the truck a year ago, so I...

    Replacements for stock speakers?

    Guys, I am getting ready to install a Pioneer 3200BT in my '01 and was wondering about replacements for the stock speakers. I did search, but perhaps I did not go back far enough. I do not need super high end sound. I am just looking for good sounding upgrades from my 10 year old stock...

    Check This Light Bar Out

    I really like that one. Got a link for it?

    2 questions

    Yep. I couldn't agree more. I just changed the fuel filter on my '02 on Saturday. The filter and tool cost me about $16 and it took about 10 minutes of time. Plugs and COPs are next on my list.

    Por-15

    It's been a few years since I have messed with it. (Jeep owners love it, BTW) I do not know if they heve changed the product much, but in the past, you needed to make sure that you painted over it. The POR15 itself did not hold up well to the elements. It does work great, though!

    Roof Basket Started

    That is the first thing I thought of when you asked about flooring. You can check it out at your local Lowe's or Home Depot as well. They carry it. It may be smaller pieces than what you need, but you can get an idea and see if that is what you want.

    Looking for Rotors and pads...

    Well, I've been looking off and on, especially after reading reviews on here, but without knowing specific sellers, brands, I just kinda got lost with all of the choices, prices, etc. I also really hate to drop money on something from Ebay that doesn't have real world reviews... Now that...

    Looking for Rotors and pads...

    Thanks for the link, Wingnut! (May I call you Wingnut? LOL) I had been all over Ebay and did not see them. RotorPros got back to me with a $300 offer for 4 rotors and "low dust" pads, which was the best until this one. If they work for your 37's, I'll be good. Thank you, sir! <heads off...

    Looking for Rotors and pads...

    OK, guys. 2001 XLT, 4.6, 4WD. I want to replace rotors and pads all around. I put about 25k miles on this thing a year with several trips up and down the eastern coast. It pulls a small horse trailer a few times a month over the summer as well. I have a quote request in at Rotorpros and...

    Looking for simple and well rounded install

    Pics, man, pics! I'm looking at the 3200DVD since i can get it for about $230. Don't know if I want to spring for the extra $100 for the BT. Did you need an adaptor for the dash space or did it fill it up nicely?

    engine block heater

    Trust me...20 year veteran of the fire service here and I am super paranoid about electrical fires, etc, especially when it comes to my vehicles. The heaters are inside the vehicle, but I took the following precautions: 1. Heaters have a tipover shutoff 2. Heaters have an overheat...
