    2012 EL Limited rear suspension fully inflated

    Yes I searched; NO I don’t want to swap out for coils. Rear suspension appears to be at MAX height and the “Check Air Ride” light on the dash, but no actual codes. Truck has NOT been jacked up/lifted with a jack, totally stock with stock rims/tires. Turned air ride off; didn’t lower at all...

    Clunk in front end

    Alright, this is driving me INSANE! For about 6 months I have been trying to figure out a clunk in my front end. Whenever I shift from drive to reverse or vice versa I get a “clunk” from the front. Checked the driveline/cv shafts/hub actuators and all are in good shape and functioning properly...

    Recoating power running board step pad?

    When I bought my expy the “dealer” had sprayed down the ribbed black pad portion of the running board with tire shine. It was super slippery (I washed it off best I could) and is now faded and still slippery when wet. I have several orthopedic issues and slipping on the step when wet will be...

    2010 SSV advice

    A family member fell in love with my Expy and wants to up grade from her Buick Encore to an Expy. Safety is biggest reason. They found a grey 2010 Expy SSV 4wd, 79k, clean vehicle history, good maintenance records and in very good condition: asking price is $12,800. I think she can work that to...

    Who has stickers on their Expy and what are they?

    I personally don't have any stickers/license plate brackets/bumper stickers/etc. on mine. I attempt to keep as low key and understated as possible. But I am curious as to who does and what they are. Post some pics.

    Alignment issues.... HELP!!!

    Took my 2012 El Limited 4wd ESC rear air suspension to get a 4 wheel alignment. It drove straight as an arrow, no pull, no drag. When it was on the rack getting aligned BOTH passenger side wheels were toed in out of spec. Set all 4 wheels to perfect spec (literally right on Ford OEM spec) and...

    For those adding an amp & sub to factory box

    I recently upgraded my factory sub to a 2 ohm slim 12" sub in the factory enclosure (with extensive modification) and was using the stock amp to push it. I know others just toss an 8" sub in the factory enclosure then add an amp to push it. This worked quite well well for me, to be honest. But...

    4pin and 7pin trailer wiring, sanity check me!!

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I call upon you to sanity check my newest crackpot scheme. I have a utility trailer that gets a decent amount of use between myself and my neighbors. It has LED lights throughout with reverse light capable tail lights, but the reverse wiring is not run since it is a 4 pin...

A little background: I was afforded the opportunity to get certified as a Pertoleum Labratory Specialist, which means I was taught how to run the full variety of...

    F150 trailer brake controler in Expedition

    Edit: Answered my own question. The OEM Ford trailer brake controler is integrated into the stock computer, the master cylinder and the dash display. Soooooo its a no go. Looks like it will be a custom install of an aftermarket tbc. I like the look of the built-into-dash trailer brake...

    New reverse light solution with pics

    Cross posted for expanded distribution I like to see where I am going, especially at night. Its an understatement to say the factory reverse lights leave alot to be desired. I wanted more light, but I prefer subtle looking. I didn't want to hack holes into my bumper, I can't stand lights that...

    Braided brake lines

    I have a 2012 EL Limited with towing package. I just did Centric rotors and Hawk pads at all 4corners and was looking for braided lines to round out the upgrade. It appears that no one makes braided stainless lines for Expeditions past 2010. Can any one tell me the difference in brakes from...

    Just figured out that I need an update for the new to me 2012 Expedition EL Limited. $149???? My phone does it for free, what the hell is the point of paying $150 for the same feature in the car. Also, my Expy has the remote start feature. I am supposed to be able to remote start and do all...
