    PSI on tires - what do you run?

    I have the navigator at 40 in all corners right now. Its only had about 12mi put on it since the tires went on and hard to judge ride quality based in that. The LTX M/2 are the first tires I've had on a vehicle of this type rated at 51. It'll primarily be family hauler for running around...

    Oem tire lifespan

    I personally try not to run extremely old tires. Some of the equation goes into storage conditions and how you'll keep them over the next few years. I've driven on more than one 10+ yr old piece of rubber but due to necessity not choice. Most manufacturers will say 6 years in use and 10yrs...

    2007 Navigator/Expedition 4wd, rear left side air shock does not inflate

    The ride height sensors output a voltage signal to the VDM that you should be able to meter to see if it's making it's way there. I dont know the specific range off hand but its fairly low and decreases as ride height increases. Perhaps it's a problem with a wire or connector? I dont think...

    Anybody else get flak for using pickup for service?

    Same. I've made it my entire life not purchasing vehicle from a dealer. I worked for large dealer in the area for about 2 months several years ago before I walked out in the middle of a busy saturday because of all the bs and attitude that they are completely in control of managing. Your post...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Got the wifes new to us Navigator spotless inside. Broke out the steamer to make sure everything was sanitized and did an ozone treatment as well. A quick wash/wax to make it shine for a few hours before the rain hit. The kids love it. They have a console in the 2nd row. Its black so its...

    What did you do to the expy today

    Fairly reasonable for retail. Most shops charge $20 per for mount/balance and upwards of $100 for alignment. I just had the same work done 2 days ago and have family in the business and I paid $135. 4 tires done and 4 wheel alignment.

    It's that time of the year!

    Im assuming a lot of us have a little extra time off with the craziness of the 'Rona so what has everyone been doing to keep our vehicles looking their best? Any before/after pics? Tips, suggestions? What products are you using and what did you like/dislike about them? Any failures or...

    My tank won't take fuel... Help!!!

    Assuming you tried a different pump and filled up again before all of the diagnostics? I've come across a couple of bad pumps that would stop filling if you even looked at it funny. I had a vehicle do this back in the early 2000's, a GM W body and it turned out to be the evap purge solenoid...

    PSI on tires - what do you run?

    I have no idea how people drive around with tires inflated like a basketball. I was in a rental the other day that for some reason was sitting at 42-43 psi on a 2018 Nissan Murano. It rode like absolute shit. I'd have stopped and dealt with it but was running behind as it was. Sure it got...

    Wireless CarPlay adapter?

    I have a pioneer with wireless Android Auto and CarPlay and both work pretty well. Every once in awhile AA likes to take a few seconds longer to connect or may stutter doing something in the first few seconds but that's about it as far as issues. I've had samsung S7-Note 10s on wireless and...

    Throttle body failure

    My wifes aunt went through 3 drive by wire throttle bodies on her 2010 fusion. If it's a similar design it's a giant pos and will fail again. She had OEM each time and no difference in quality. It cut out once as she was leaving a light and almost got plowed into by a semi. I'll never own a...

    2003 Eddie Bauer radio did it come with?

    Changing just the radio to something that actually has control over each channel will make a night and day difference even on stock speakers. I threw my radio in before doing everything else just because I didn't have time and wanted android auto for a quick road trip. I was quite surprised...

    No Heat / Blend Door Tap

    Theres a few of them. I think 4 if you have the dual zone digital climate control. I can look up diagrams and disassembly info for you tomorrow to see if you're still up for the task.

    2007 Ford Expedition Hazard Lights wont stop!

    Do they turn off when you hit the switch for a period of time? Old co worker had a similar problem and his would shut off when he hit the button but would randomly re activate. I think his issue ended up being in the SJB (smart junction box...aka fuse panel looking thing behind the passenger...

    Advice for cleaning cloth seats

    Little green works well they are just small so of it's for more than a spot or a seat they get annoying. The big green machine you can rent has a handheld attachment that works reasonably well. Has a small manual brush built in to knock stuff loose, pivot your wrist lay down some solution and...

    Knowing it was a former police vehicle would have probably ended this days ago. Lol.

    What did you do to the expy today

    Quick vacuum, wiped down and some spray wax to keep it looking good as I can. I'm wanting to pick up a Rupes LHR21 and give it a good polish but waiting until after I bring something else home first.

    Does Anyone Know...

    I was thinking along the lines of entertainment or a cooler but not being able to find the other end makes little sense. It would have to be a pretty large, accessible area for those ideas. Normally I wouldnt care about the details since its not my vehicle but I'm bored and curious now.

    Does Anyone Know...

    Definitely not factory. Very odd looking, that's a huge bundle that looks to be "custom" made. No idea what that is/could be for. Maybe wired in to provide external power to something in the vehicle. Only reason I could see to have the lighter portion so far down the line. If it were...

    Aftermarket Backup Camera w/Extra LED Lighting

    Is the camera the white light we see on the passenger bumper? Would it not fit on the plate? They hide pretty well, my dad was standing behind my 03 a couple weeks ago and said I thought you had a camera on this. Was literally staring at it but at an inch wide and blending in w letters on...

    Key Fob

    I've had no issues with key fobs or the keypad after swapping my radio last summer. Doesnt seem like that would have anything to do with it. The stock radio isnt tied into any of that system.

    One vacuum hose after another....

    Sorry to say but might be the case. My old regal I had I got tired of screwing with things and spent about $200 and replaced every single vacuum line in the car. Never had another associated issue as long as I had it and ran great.

    Passive Keyless Entry and Push Button Start

    If you wired up a bypass that was powered by a relay you could energize with a switch concealed somewhere you could maybe pull it off. Remote starts will either have a bypass module with them or have one integrated in the unit. Directed makes the DBALL2 and 3 which both support this generation.
