    Adding 3.5mm Aux Input on Rear DVD Equipped (non Nav) Expy's

    BTW, here is how I installed mine so the DVD Aux button is my Bluetooth. I downloaded all my songs to my phone and now stream from there to the radio. Agree with the ground isolater idea someone mentioned as mine makes a little hiss. Mad thanks to kmh1596 again for the idea...

    2006 OEM 6 disk dash changer, DVD, no GPS - Auxiliary input

    Oldie but a goodie folks. I can not take credit for this as I read it elsewhere but the principal is the same for most 03-06 expys w/ OEM 6 disk in dash changer w/ rear dvd player. Sorry if this has been done before, but I'll be darned if I could find it out there, other than expensive ready...

    Adding 3.5mm Aux Input on Rear DVD Equipped (non Nav) Expy's

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, can't say it enough..... Was about to do your install with a twist, I was gonna solder in female RCAs behind the radio and a USB charger port to perm install ipod adaptor cables. I know the radio won't control the ipod so I though I'd just run the...

    FYI - 2015 Ford Expedition to get 5.0 liter 32-valve Ti-VCT V-8

    A V6 in an Expy, that's just wrong.

    FYI - 2015 Ford Expedition to get 5.0 liter 32-valve Ti-VCT V-8

    Been almost a year since an update. Any new news on the new Expy? I love the idea of the 5.0 but am intrigued by a little diesel too or even a larger V8. Anything? My poor old 03 is getting pretty tired.

    2003 component Door speakers

    I'll bite, and get in to your Ford/Chevy argument. Would love to see some scientific testing results for all that info but till then...... it is way less expensive, has not off gassed or smelled up my truck in any way, did not freeze last winter in GA, nor melted off the doors on 105 degree...

    2003 component Door speakers

    Actuaally, now that I think about it, I got it at lowes. I think it was this stuff: Shop Peel & Seal 6-in x 300-in Aluminum Flashing at Lowes.com But I expect home depots stuff is about the same. In a perfect world name brand deadener would be best and then next best maybe something like the...

    2003 component Door speakers

    I should have taken photos. Lot easier to show you than describe it. Yes and no. I used a couple of pieces on the inside of the outer door skin equaling about 1 square foot. I read somewhere that a very small percentage of material knocking down vibration works almost as well as covering the...

    2003 component Door speakers

    Hey, I just used the cheesy home depot roofing stuff for deadner and thinsulate. Didn't smell at all but does make one heck of a mess and the goo gets everywhere. I have been working in Dallas, TX and triple digit days haven't caused any issues either. Although I do think the glue gets a little...

    2003 center console organizer

    Hi everyone, I was tired of the black hole that is our console and decided to tame it. Used 2 plastic cutting boards and foam board for a template. I made it fit over the existing factory rubber mat so stuff wouldn't be rattling around in there. Also added a pouch for an ipod since my Avic...

    adding power 3 row seats 3rd gen

    You said it brother! I did an 03 xlt. Had a bauer for parts. None of the wires were even there. I was hoping for a plug and play type install. NOPE. Had to add individual wires that were missing in the factory harness of the xlt. Terrible install. Very confusing and time consuming. And after all...

    2003 component Door speakers

    Hey man, No changes as of yet. I was able to get the rear speakers working again by re-installing the console and matched the front volume by turning the gain up on the rear channel. Not planning on taking anything apart again for a while. Although I may have to to get ipod wire in to the...

    2003 component Door speakers

    I like the way you think man. That is exactly what I was considering. Next time I have that console out I am going to track down the offending wires and bypass the whole rear controls thing. I know what color they are at the door and at the dash so finding them in the middle shouldn't be too...

    2003 component Door speakers

    Update......I reinstalled the center console and have rear sound again. Although, it is at a way lower volume than the fronts. I wish I would have just run speaker wire while I had the interior apart, duh. Oh well, maybe next time. I was able to tune most of the volume difference out with the...

    2003 component Door speakers

    I'm not sure about that. It does look like the old style but I was at the junk yard the other day and several lincoln navigators had them in front and rear doors. My truck is a Bauer with 6 disk and factory sub, if it matters? Weird. Anyway, next problem is my rear door speaker wires do not...

    2003 component Door speakers

    Hi guys and gals, I am starting to make a list for my stereo install. I am considering door speakers. My goal with doors or mid bass speakers is to have enough rich sound as to not need a sub at all. I have done some door speakers in my last '04 expy and I lost considerable bottom end from the...

    PermaShine by Urethane Supply Co. for faded XLT moldings?

    I have found a product called PermaShine by Urethane Supply Company. It is supposedly some sort of clear coat that brings our gray plastic back permanently! Well, I am sure permanent is a relative term but does anyone have any experience with this stuff? It is only available from a body shop...

    03 molding

    3 YEARS?!?!?!? That is awesome. I have not heard of paint lasting that long on the textured plastic moldings. But I have also not heard of the paint you used either. I was considering bed liner or line x stuff since they are textured anyway but am worried that they would look like, well, look...

    bubbling paint on liftgate?

    My 2004 also has cracking, crows feet and peeling paint in the rain gutters on the roof and leading top edge of the lift gate. I just figured is is almost 10 years old with almost 100K on the odo. I'm not tall enough to see it anyway so it doesn't bother me. Out of sight, out of mind. But my...

    Best "No Dust" Brake Pads

    Yeah but don't ceramics chew up and spit out the rotors much more quickly than a softer metallic or organic pad?

    03-06 4R75E Transmission Flush & Fill, Filter Change, and Pan Drain Plug Kit Install

    Great write up! Just so others know, mine also has the cooler and is a 2004 XLT 4.6 model. Pretty basic truck so I was surprised that it had it. Don't know if they all come with it or maybe mine was ordered with a tow package but it was there, just like yours. I have since found out though, my...
