    FS: 2nd Gen 3/2 Lift Kit

    I have decided against lifting the Expy, so I am selling the lift kit I purchased off a member here. The kit is new, but I don't know the brand. I can send/post pictures if needed, but it appears to be well made. Asking only what I paid for it, $75. PM me if interested.

    $464 Later.....

    I got the Expy back home. After I had it towed to the dealer after it died coming to a stop light, it turned out that the dreaded Fuel Pump Driver Module located above the spare tire had gone out. I guess all the snow and salt this winter had a negative effect, and corroded the module like so...

    The Expy's getting no love....

    So my wife's car is coming up to the end of the lease, and we needed to replace it. We finally found the needle in the haystack we were looking for (a BMW 550i with sports package and manual transmission) and we had to jump on it earlier than we wanted to. A few weeks ago, the new to us vehicle...

    Updated the Wheels

    After 6 years I was getting tired of the stock wheels, so I bought some plastidip and decided to do something other than a complete coat on the wheels. After painstakingly clening and masking off the wheels, here is what I ended up with. Only got the driver's side done today, but I...

    Need to Replace Front Hub/Bearing

    At 88,000 miles, I need to replace the front passenger wheel hub/bearing. In the last couple of weeks I have noticed a rhythmic noise at higher speed,and when I turn sharply left at lower speeds I get more pronounced hum. So my question is, what brand have people used to replace the hub...

    The Reason I got the Expy is Gone

    Well, after being for sale for nearly a year, the reason I got the Expy is gone. The Regal 2450 known as "Ramblin' Rose" was sold this weekend and is on it's way to Australia!!. Going to miss it, but it was just too big to trailer around to the "smaller" lakes around us. If we don't move to...

    Plugs are done!

    After getting stuck last night since I needed a 15/16 deep socket for the broken plug extractor, I headed out to the auto parts store to get what I needed. Approximately 3 1/2 to 4 hours later, I am done. Nearly every wire/connector needed to be undone on the passneger side of the engine...

    Towing with a Lift

    Anyone out there with a 3/2 lift on a second or third gen and towing with it? Thinking of going with Readylift SST 3/2, but a little concerned with towing 6000 lbs with it. Thinking it will be Ok since the lift is basically a shock mount extension, but interested in hearing any first hand...

    Noticed Something Funny.....

    While I was browsing on the forum last night, my son is looking over my shoulder and says "That looks like your car dad." I looked at the banner on top of the page and agreed with him. Upon further inspection, I could see my neighbor's house through the windows of the Expy and realized it WAS...

    Quick Diff/Drive Shaft Question

    I am in the process of diagnosing a rear end squeak that started after I replaced the rear shocks a month ago. When I was rocking the car back and forth while up on the jack to pinpoint the noise, I noticed that I had a slight knock in the front of the diff housing when the hub was rotated. I...

    Engine Failsafe Mode

    Anyone else experience this? I was driving home yesterday and proceeded to get off the highway. Stopped at a light, and when i started to go, the info center beeped at me, and the "Engine Failsafe Mode" message flashed up. The engine lost all power but was still running. I was able to coast...

    Interesting Expy...

    Some money went into this, but not too sure about it. Kind of cool, but kind of not. I can see it being useful in the right climate, maybe like Hawaii...lol. http://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/cto/1877269465.html

    How To: Kenwood DNX-5140 Install

    I thought I would do a write-up of my Kenwood DNX-5140 install on my 2006 EB I just completed. This may help some of you that want to retain factory overhead DVD player, keep the factory subwoofer, and those that just need a basic how-to. It's a bit long, but detailed enough for you to do it...

    Homemade Brake System Power-bleeder

    OK, I was tired of having to have 2 people to bleed the brake system, and I didn't want to pay $80 for a power-pump system, or use a hand pump system at each wheel. So I decided to make this and see if it worked. Voila! What is needed: Air Compressor...if you already have one. Air-hose...

    Spark Plug Change on 3V motor

    So I had a misfire on cylinder #8 and decided to just replace that plug and coil pack. I finally got around to it today, and what a PITA. It would have to be #8 back behind and under fuel lines, connections etc. I knew I was in for a little work beforehand and bought a swivel for the ratchet...

    SES Light Blinking

    Saturday night on my drive home from Thanksgiving with the family, I came upon a slow moving vehicle on the highway and switched lanes to pass and floored it. After it kicked down, a few seconds later, the car started to stutter fairly bad and the SES started blinking. I slowed down and was...

    Final Wash/Detail Before Winter

    I got around to a final wash, polish, wax, and general maintenance on the Expy before Winter arrives. We had a fairly warm week, so I decided to get to both of our cars while I had the chance. Started off with a good wash, followed by Bug and Tar Remover to get the paint nice and clean prior...

    Helper Bags/Springs for 2006

    Has anyone installed helper bags or springs for a 2003-2006 Expedition? Since I tow a boat/trailer combo that is around 5700-5900lbs, I get a fair amount of sag in the rear. The Expy handles it great and rides/trailers excellently, but I really would like a little less squat when hooked up...

    How to Replace Shocks on '06?

    OK, since the search function is down right now, I'll ask this straight out without a search. Has anyone replaced their shocks on a 2003-2006 Expy? I have a feeling I need to get better rear shocks as they seem to sag a bit too much with load. I looked and it appears that the upper nut is...

    Recent Towing Experience

    What's up everyone? I recently got back from a vacation to South Carolina, and on the way back I towed my father's boat back to Wisconsin. I just want to share my experience towing it home. A bit of background is it is a 26 ft. boat weighing in around 4500-5000 lbs depending on...

    Towing...WDH or Not?

    I am about to tow about a 5500-6000 lb trailer/boat about 1100 miles and am wondering about a weight distribution hitch. I know the benefits of one, but is it going to be necessary to tow that much weight? BTW, I have a 2006 5.4 with the HD tow pkg. Thanks.

    Gas Mileage on Trip

    I just got back from my first trip in the Expy (2006 5.4) and I averaged 17.9 MPG on the way back in normal conditions over 400 miles. On the way there we had crazy winds and only got 17.0 MPG. Just curious as to what others are getting on the highway that are basically stock (no tune).
