    2008 Expedition EL Eddie Bauer Rear AC not blowing

    Just noticed today that my rear AC/heat blower fan is not blowing at all. The front AC is blowing normally via manual fan control and temp or auto (set it and forget it). When I push the rear AC fan control switch, I can hear clicking in the back as I've always heard, but the fan doesn't come...

    Shocks and struts

    Awesome. Thanks for the feedback. My ‘08 is still one of favorite vehicles I’ve owned. Don’t have to worry about power to tow, space or comfort. Just got to good morning get these shocks (feel and drive) back.

    Shocks and struts

    This is a good discussion. This is how things get resolved and we can all enjoy the benefits of figuring things out. Opinions are great but knowledge or experiences based replies would lead to a much faster result. Of course, feel and drive of a vehicle are subjective, what’s not subjective is...

    Shocks and struts

    Original springs have been gone a long time ago. I just can’t believe that it’s so difficult to find oem feel and drive shocks and struts for an American built vehicle.

    Shocks and struts

    Anyone who can recommend the best shocks and struts for an ‘08 expedition EL Eddie Bauer, standard coilovers. I’ve gotten so many recommendations and all I’m looking for is to restore the original ride and feel.

    Brand new key fob

    Anyone knows how to program a new aftermarket key fob to open/close the rear power lift gate for an ‘08 Ford Expedition EL, Eddie Bauer. The lift gate works by pushing the button on the gate itself, but my new aftermarket key fob doesn’t work the power gate. The key fobs locks/unlocks the doors...

    New key fob

    Thanks for the reply. Missed all that info huh?.. It’s an ‘08 Ford expy EL Eddie Bauer. Yes, it’s an aftermarket key fob. And I don’t have any original key fobs. I programmed the fob with the typical eight off/on ignition switch sequence until the door locks sequenced for programming mode...

    New key fob

    Anyone knows how to program a new key fob to open/close the rear power lift gate. The lift gate works by pushing the button on the gate itself, but my new key fob doesn’t work for it. The key fobs locks/unlocks the doors and unlocks the lift gate glass, but not the lift gate itself

    MY 08 EL EDDIE BAUER SUSPENSION IS STIFF AS A BOARD - REPLACED WITH STANDARD ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO

    Now, my dilemma are the correct set of coilovers to bring the expy back to plush, comfortable ride with great handling. The Mrs. took her first ride in weeks in the expy and she likes it again.. I’ve kept the interior spotless with lots of “tuff stuff” spray and seat covers that I removed after...

    MY 08 EL EDDIE BAUER SUSPENSION IS STIFF AS A BOARD - REPLACED WITH STANDARD ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO

    It made a huge difference in comfort. Going from basically no cushioning with worn/non-existing bushing to brand new bushings; immediately felt a big difference; even made me smile a bit, and I don’t smile very often. The height change is immediately noticeable. In fact, after finishing the...

    Ride quality - it's not just your shocks and struts... I'm not responsible for anyone getting killed/hurt or crushing or losing body parts during this procedure. I lost some knuckle skin myself.. Well, I found another culprit to the issue which I addressed last week......... body bushings/cab...

    Thunderbird, measuring the front would be of great help to me. At least I would know what I'm looking for. I've turned to Ebay for used OEM coils to at least get the original ride back besides the lowrider feel I have now in this gigantic 2.5 ton vehicle. thanks for the assist....

    I sincerely think the springs they sent me are way beyond the diameter that came with the vehicle. So now, I have to research the original diameter of an '08 Expy EL Eddie Bauer OEM spring and see what I can find aftermarket that's close to that.

    You are so right with that statement Trainmaster. I'm a "buy quality and keep it for a long time" time type of person. But I've also run into difficulty finding quality parts or OEM with the same specs that came with the vehicle. Nevertheless, it makes for a good scavenger hunt, but sometimes...

    Gents, Thank you for all the input. I'm so grateful that you took the time to share your experiences. Yes, I did replace my springs with my second struts/shocks replacement; I should have kept the factory springs, but it's too late to cry over spilled milk. All said I think I'm going to...

    Aspen, thanks for the response. I guess I have a lot of research to do before dropping another $1k plus on an entirely new setup. When my Expy was new I made sure I took notice of the part numbers of the shocks and spring as the guy at the dealership told me that Expys and excursions where...

    I appreciate all the responses, but I'll tell you that I know exactly how my vehicle handled before the latest shocks/struts combo. I drove this vehicle from Louisiana to Florida at least 50k miles worth and I know that I never felt every little imperfection on the road, especially slight bumps...

    Hello all, I'm in need of some assistance. I ordered, what I thought was a complete set of shocks and struts, springs from FORD.com,,,,,supposedly OEM. Since I installed the setup on all four corners, my ride with from a nice compliant, supple, float down the road feel, to a jarring, "feel...

    Shocks and struts replacement with OE and suggested reflex

    Appreciate all the feedback but I’ve been driving the truck since it had 700 miles on it and the shocks were worn. The expy ride is that of comfort and precision for the most part, at least comfort; the shocks I have on there, which I installed are aftermarket OE from Autozone for both front...
