    Rear Wiper blade replacement on 3rd Gen ( 2015 ) Expedition?

    This is what I got about a year ago for my '011 (still works great), and it says it also fits other years, including 2015.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYJCMNBP?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3&th=1 NOTE: This is both the arm assembly AND the wiper blade together in 1 package ...

    5.4 triton vs the 3.5 Ecoboost?

    Well, lets put it this way: For it's time, the 5.4 was/is a BEAST, sans the phaser issues, which some have had, but others notta... However, the 3.5EB was a new direction for the Expy, which mostly worked out pretty good, albeit with a few issues here & there too...the majority of which were...

    Low mile 2011 King Ranch EL Value?

    If you can get the VIN #, you could try to plug it in to the "give-me-the-vin" website & see what they will offer for it... or "webuyanycar.com" either one should give you some idea of what it's worth...keeping in mind that the REAL value should be higher, since they are just buying it to resell...

    Orange Timberline tow hooks

    Or even better, take your existing ones off, or get a set standard black ones, clean & dip them in orange plasti-dip & reinstall :D

    Wiper Blades

    Well, if you don't like the little push button thingies, you could always buy & install a set of arms that has the old-school j-hooks, hahaha :) Unless there is something unique to the way that the newer model's arms attach to the motor, it should be like a 10 min job, and if it's the same or...

    No high beams

    For a 2013, I seriously doubt that the aftermarket assemblies would come with LED Bulbs, if any bulbs at all....most of the ones I have seen say right in the product listing "bulbs NOT included" The new assemblies I recently bought my '011 did not come with any bulbs, and they were fairly...

    Flush Mounted Bumper Reverse Lights?

    Wow, that's a very clean & nice looking addition there, I had to look closely to even notice them....and NO cutting/drilling made it that much better...congrats ! On my '011, I used a different approach & simply replaced the license plate & reverse light bulbs with some really bright LED's...

    Ford Connectivity Package

    Your connectivity, and therefore your wi-fi reliability will depend greatly on where you are located, what provider you use, as well as the terrain, distance to towers, ect...just like on your cell phone.... Unless of course you have satellite service, which can be either better, the same, or...

    Show me your cell phone mounting solutions!

    I'm glad it works for you, but oh my, that thing is butt-friggin-fuggily IMHO :D Reminds me of a monitor arm for my computer desk.....or that robot arm from the Terminator movie that swung around when the production cycle was initiated by Sarah Conner when she entered that automated...

    Dashboard airflow

    Well, funny you should mention this, as it has happened to my 011 recently... It started in July '25, AC on full blast, I could feel the coldness, but zero air flow, checked the heat as well, could also feel it but no airflow either. My local stealership said the connector for the blower motor...

    Buy Engine Coolant Through Ford Pass?

    Well, the coolant itself may be as good as any other NAME brand, but if you could actually order it thru FordPass, it would most likely come from the local stealership's stock, or the warehouse where they get their parts from, and therefore would be probably be considerably more expensive, as is...

    Exhaust manifold bolts failure

    ^^THIS^^ A few years ago, I had the right side manifold replaced at a stealership....the parts weren't that much, but the labor killed me, since they had to cut/grind/torch off the OEM bolts, remove the manifold itself, then drill out & tap some new holes for the new, stainless steel studs...

    2012 Expedition Limited (Re)Build Thread

    Another of those "while I'm in there jobs" :) I am referring to the shocks & springs of course, cause with the age & mileage, you might not notice anything NOW, but all those other new parts (and your tires) will if you don't replace them along with everything else...and also you will have the...

    03 Intake advice

    At that age & mileage, there would be 2 main questions I would have to answer before proceeding: A) Am I planning on keeping this beast running for a good while longer, AND: B) Can I find an OEM manifold in a junk yard somewhere close by for a reasonable price ? If the answer to A is yes...

    HVAC actuator "clicking".

    Well, take it from someone who's "been there, done that"...the 3rd gens (and prob others too) are notorious for this issue. My '011 had that "stickin & clickin" noise about a year after I bought it in '20, so I had the actuator replaced with a factory part, which failed again in 2024, at which...

    Reliability

    At that age & mileage, the 1st thing I would recommend would be to get a Carfax/Autocheck report on your intended purchase, and even with that, you would be wise to take whatever vehicle you choose to a trusted mechanic to check for signs of possible failure for the EB system, as well as any...

    1. Pray.... 2. Pray some mo.... 3. if all else fails, just do replace EVERYTHING, hahahaha :D j/k of course, but the things already mentioned are spot on & if you have the owners manual, there should be a list of the 100k stuff you can go by....

    2024 SPP First Issue

    Gouges are bad news, as it ruins the rotor(s), as well as indicating that your pads are severely worn down to the rivets.... Get them replaced like yesterday, or your wheel bearings, speed sensors and ABS system will be the next repairs that you will need (big money)....been there, done that...

    Detroit Axle Front End kit question

    I've been considering a DA kit for my front end as well, although I have no experience with their stuff, but they seem to get fairly good reviews on da Zon, which may or may not be all that accurate, so who knows... And to what "hassle" are you referring ? Shouldn't be any if you get it from...

    Please Welcome our latest Preferred Vendor LevittownFordParts!

    Well, I just looked up some parts that I will be needing soon, and unless those "discount codes" offer a significant amount off the posted prices, I really don't see where Levittown's prices are all that great.......not really any worse than other places, but not much better either... Or...
