    Picked up some new SUVs

    So I haven't been here much for the last few years. Kinda just what I do. I've since purchased 2 Equinoxs. They're fun to drive, comfortable, good on gas mileage, and I like the look. I still have my other 2 Expeditions, but there's really just being used occasionally when the need arises...

    Metal thingie that fell out when I pulled the steering shroud covers off

    The piece is about 21mm or almost an inch long for reference. The vehicle is my 04 expedition. When I pulled the steeling wheel shroud covers that little piece of metal fell out and I have no idea what part it came from. I am finishing up changing the heater core. What a pain. Anyone seen it...

    My new girl

    So I lucked out... I just bought an 09 Expedition limited for $6k. I had to drive 4 hrs away to buy it, but it was well worth it. Some interior damage like torn seats and center console. A few scrapes on the exterior. Drivetrain is in great condition. Only 142k miles. I saw one like this at a...

    2018 Expedition Max rental

    So I had to rent a large SUV for a week and a half and ended up getting a 2018 Expedition Max. I really don't see why everyone is so crazy about it. I still don't like the exterior. The hood, since I'm looking at it more, is hideous. I don't like seeing it from the driver's seat. It looks a lot...

    If anyone has access to a 3d printer and wants some helpful tools for rebuilding a 4R70 transmission here is a link to my files: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2895478 I can also add these on Shapeways if you don't have one if that would be a cheap alternative to special tools.

    2003 Expedition 4R70W line pressures / NO forward / ONLY reverse

    So, this is actually in regard to the transmission I've already replaced. I bought a used transmission from a salvage yard w/ 88k miles supposedly. I installed it, filled it, and went for a short test drive. Whenever I engaged drive, it was delayed which can mean the clutch pack isn't doing so...

    Garage lighting

    So last winter I put up some strings of white LED Xmas lights on the house and mounted some extras in the garage. It turned out way nicer than I thought it would. I need to repaint the walls which will make it brighter, but it's really nice. I have 3 strips of lights up now and they are on a...

    03-04 roof rack upgrade

    The 05-06 roof racks are interchangeable with the 03-04 models. I haven't looked into the 07+ models to see if they interchange, but it may be a possibility. Just posting this for anyone who was wondering and/or wanting to do this. I think it looks better and I did it with mine.

    exterior design vs interior space

    new exterior design vs interior space Would you prefer a more appealing exterior design in lieu of interior space? Mainly I'm just talking about the sides. Maybe just around 2"-6" from each side.

    recirc heater?

    Is it just me or is there no way to have the hvac recirculate with the heater on. There is no recirc button and if I go to max a/c it seems to command the blend door to cold. It fine for now. It's only gotten to -10 but when it gets closer to -30 I don't know if it will suffice. I have an 03...

    2nd Gen Navigator seats for 1st Gen Expeditions

    Just wanted to share an upgrade I did to my first gen expedition before I sold it that was really nice to have. The 2nd Gen Navigator seats are a direct bolt-in and not that hard to wire up, but you do need to know know to splice some wires. I can only imagine 1st gen Navigator seats will work...

    Bench seat swap to captains seats

    Does anyone know what I would have to do if I wanted to get rid of my bench seat and replace it with captains seats witht he center console? The only real issue looks like the dash will get it in the way because of the cup holders that slide out.

    '03 Expedition transmission grinding noise

    So I just recently bought an '03 Expedition XLT with 116k miles which also come to find out was used as a police car. I bought it cheap because the owner bought it with a bad engine, replaced/rebuilt it, and after putting it back together it made a noise which he claimed to be a rocker arm that...
