    So, how do I know if i have "Intelligent Access" aka proximity door locks?

    2015 Limited. I have Push to Start. However, my doors dont unlock when I grab the handle. My wife has a 2014 Explorer Sport and hers do. I am guessing the easy way to tell is if there is a sensor in the door handle? Or do some of these not have the sensors?

    What is this thingy?

    I am looking to replace my 2008 Expedition. I saw an online ad, and one thing that jumped out at me was the thing in the picture. It is only on the passenger side. This is a 2015 Platinum I am looking at. Any idea what it is?

    How much disassembly to do full timing setup? 2008

    I want to do timing chains, guides, tensioners, phasers (locked out), and oil pump on my 2008. I dont know the providence of this truck, and its making a lot of racket. My problem is that I tried to start this project last weekend, and after nearly 3 hours, I couldnt get the driver side valve...

    Well, the spark plug demon got me

    Took my 2008 into the dealership for a miss in the engine. They called spark plugs. I said fine replace them, and they ended up breaking 3 of 4 so far with one unextractable. So now they are telling me that I have to have the head removed to get the other one out. No help from the dealer or...

    So... 2008 rocker panel repairs. Weld or glue?

    my 2008 has rocker rot. I am more than happy to tackle it. I can limit the work to the bottom, unseen portion of the rocker. Question is, do I weld or glue? And before that even... stainless or carbon steel? Both can be welded, but can stainless be glued? Just started investigating...

    iPad Mini Frame - 3D printed

    So I had this (not original) idea to use an iPad Mini as a stereo interface (and hopefully a backup camera display someday), and so I got working on modifying a panel to make it work. It worked, but I didn't have access to the original head unit (bouncing around under the dash), and my...

    Usa-spec bt45

    I got this Bluetooth kit yesterday. Installation was simple (actually installed it while driving down the road... I know, stupid). It has a harness that fits between the 24 pin and 16 pin connectors on the stock radio that plugs into the module. It also comes with a microphone with a 4 foot...

    2008 Expedition - MS-CAN bus findings

    I'm totally deflated. So for about a month I have been working on an iPad implementation that would retain the factory head unit and allow control of it over the CAN bus in the truck. Unfortunately, I don't think the radio has complete CAN implementation. After scanning the bus, there is a...

    Wood grain pattern on 08 Eddie Bauer?

    I am looking at doing some more wood trim. I want to match the stock pieces. Does anyone know if there is a name for the wood grain that Ford used on the 2008 Eddie Bauer?

    Anyone have any experience with this Bluetooth kit?

    GROM FRDU3 interface kit It looks like it is much more than Bluetooth. Actually on second look, it doesn't include Bluetooth by default. That is an add on. And it seems to take advantage of the satellite radio input (as it says you lose satellite radio by using the kit). Since I don't have...

    What is up with the stock intake tube?

    So this is what I was greeted with when I opened up the hood on my new-to-me 2008 Expedition. What is up with all the cast-in elbows and voids? Do they serve a purpose? From what I can tell, they don't have anything hooked to them. And they are ugly. Is this why most people get the K&N...

    Usage wear on steering wheel... Refinish?

    Just bought a very nice 2008 EB that was extremely clean. Aside from normal wear on the front seats from butts sliding in and out of truck, the only wear I can find is on the left side of the steering wheel, under the cruise settings (see attached). I'd like to refinish it. I'm hoping there...

    New Here! New Expedition Too!

    I registered a long time ago, but just recently posted. Picture of new truck attached. It is a 2008 EB Expedition. It doesn't have much in way of options.. no nav or rear seat DVD system. Don't need those these days with iphones and ipads so prolific. As I look at the window sticker, it...

    Stock 6 disc 2008 Expedition - Aux AND Line-In?

    So I got a 2008 Expedition to replace my now totaled 2000 Expedition. It has the 6 disc in dash unit, no satellite or nav. When I press the AUX button, there are two settings, Line-In and Aux. Are these two different inputs?
