    Tow Hook to Shackle Conversion

    F150s and Expedition share the tow hook part number so the RCs and AMI should bolt up without issue. Only question is if the opening is large enough and does the Expedition bumper stick out further than the F150. But likely not something a little trimming can’t remedy. I contacted AMI to see...

    Engine Replacement On 2015 EL

    No autocorrect. www.car-part.com is a nationwide salvage yard parts search. Very good resource. Just takes so searching not always easiest to find what you are looking for.

    Adding skid plates to 2018 Limited with tow package?

    I don’t have an 18 so I can’t speak for that fitment. I have a 16 and the only issue I had was they changed their design but did not change the instructions. If you mate the transmission plate to the OEM motor plate there is a cutout to slide the OEM plate into. Initially all trans plates had...

    09 channels in roof cracking paint?

    My 16 is flaking in the roof channels. Once weather warms a bit I’ll sand and respray it.

    Engine Replacement On 2015 EL

    There are some super high mileage trucks out there. Though I agree fraud is likely not an issue here. I was searching car-part.com maybe 6 months ago. There were 2 totaled 2015s that had a railroad company logo on the doors and one had 320k on the clock and the other 350k on the clock. It looked...

    Expy for off-roading?

    Main reason there is very very little aftermarket support. For what you want to do it will be just fine. A set of ICONs, RCI Skidplates, and at least 33s they are plenty capable. I have Fox 2.0s, BDS UCAs, upfront and Bilstein 4600s on a 2” spacer out back (will be replaced with ICONs...

    Engine Replacement On 2015 EL

    I am all for buying used but buying a 4 year old truck with 120k miles not a chance in the world would I roll that dice. But you’re well passed that. Find a local mechanic that installs Jasper rebuilt motors. You should be quite a bit cheaper than 8k. Jaspers come with a 3 year/100k mile...

    Just Got a 17 Expy EL

    Go back to CarMax and have them give you the proper keys. They are generally pretty solid to work with.

    Battery replacement?

    15-17s don’t come with AGMs from the factory.

    Battery replacement?

    I have a Schumacher Charger it works just dandy on AGMs. Schumacher SC1281 6/12V Fully Automatic Battery Charger and 30/100A Engine Starter with Advanced Diagnostic Testing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BLLRM8R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_dBbEEbVJF81XZ X2 Power are some of the best AGM batteries out...

    OBDII gauges

    OBDLink MX+ https://www.obdlink.com/mxp/ Comes with it’s own app. Also now with the MX+ all the premium stuff is included for unlimited vehicles. Used to include 1 vehicle with purchase and like $5 a vehicle after that. Their app is really good. Small learning curve to it.

    Fox 2.0 Coilovers and BDS UCAs finally installed!!!

    I went to retorque everything after driving it for a bit and found one nut on the sway bar endlink had backed off a touch after tightening it down the pop I had been having was gone. Took it in for an alignment the other day and the factory alignment bushings in the lower control arms were...

    Bilstein 5100 and Spring Seat part

    It may or may not be that easy. Mine were pressed on something serious. Even a mini sledge did nothing. Had to put them in a press.

    Bilstein 5100 and Spring Seat part

    You can’t aside from a JY. You have to reuse the old ones. Some folks have had luck with a small sledge hammer, I had to use a press to get them off.

    Fox 2.0 Coilovers and BDS UCAs finally installed!!!

    I made no adjustments to the Foxes. Hoping they will settle slightly. I don’t really want to pull them again to bring them down a bit. I have Bilstein 4600s with the Readylift 2” spaced on the rear. I did this before the 5100s were available for the Expedition. These will almost certainly be...

    Fox 2.0 Coilovers and BDS UCAs finally installed!!!

    Only had these things since November and it as been a wet awful winter. It has rained on all my days off expect for 2 since November. But today was 65 and Sunny so I got to work! So the Bilstein clunk is gone. I am sitting about 1” higher vs. the Bilsteins so essentially I am at a 3/2 level. I...

    SPD Exhaust

    Here is their F150 exhaust. Not much is going to change in sound. Not a chance in the world I’d put that on mine. I have enough power for my needs. Building a race truck or something and need all the power I can get you deal with the awful sound but no way I am headed to car line to pick up...

    SPD Exhaust

    Sounds decent at idle but the second they give it any gas it then sounds pretty bad. I notice they barely give it any gas in the video. I am going to wager it sounds absolutely horrendous with any heavy throttle. One thing that sucks about these V6 trucks opening up the exhaust can net some...

    Turbo Adapter...?

    Install is supposed to be a beast even on newer trucks. Though the gains are supposed to be substantial. SPD used to sell ported manifolds but looks like they have been pulled from their site. They were netting people some pretty serious power loss.

    Bilsteins and spring perches

    That is a huge plus. Not a chance mine were coming off without a press.

    License plate lights

    Being that the more light a camera lens can take in the better quality image it provides. Therefore adding more light directly to both sides of the camera (License plate bulb) and more light to the area as a whole (Reverse lights) you get a much better image at night. Much like how drastically...

    License plate lights

    cleaner brighter light. Adding LED license plate bulbs and reverse lights really helps the rear camera picture at night. To answer the OPs question no issues what so ever in my 2016.

    proper inflation?

    Not with a good tire. My Falken Wildpeaks are 10 ply and with the windows up there is zero noticeable noise difference from the factory Goodyear’s. My ride is fantastic and better than stock in my opinion but I did Bilsteins at the same time.
