    2021 Expedition Shark Fin Removal

    The console is said to be held on with clips and pulls right down, but I tried to pull mine down and it fought back until the plastic cracked. I have no sunroof.

    Skid Plate

    Ford makes complete skid plates for these trucks. Front behind bumper, under the motor, steel to replace the fabric diaper, metal under the transfer case and a plate under the plastic fuel tank. They've been written up well here in this forum. Not easy figuring out part numbers. A good...

    Roof hump

    2023 Ohio Highway Patrol needed the flat on a large order for satellite antenna. Don't think they ever installed them.

    A/C only blowing cold when set to MAX

    The newer ones at least have no resistors. Computer controlled. You never know what's going to happen when you start the car. Rear defogger? A/C? Who knows?

    Gen 4 Plain Running Boards

    I understand. I'll keep them. Too much work to take them off and wrap them up. And yes, you will definitely find a pair of OEM ones or aftermarket; hopefully locally.

    Gen 4 Plain Running Boards

    What are they worth to you, shipped? You can send me a PM. I have a pair on a 2023 police vehicle with 10,000 miles which I might sell. I think shipping is about $130.

    That sounds rather exciting.

    Do you need to remove seat to replace bottom upholstery?

    Al, the cooled seats have a soft plastic duct molded in them that goes through the foam. I can only speak for the 3rd Generation trucks, in which I've changed several seat covers. I've always removed the seat. It's not hard and offers access to remove any side trim. Watch the video on The...

    2008 Body Mount Bushings

    There are a bunch of different part numbers for upper and lower mounts and the different positions. I didn't keep track of them, but found them from forums and parts books.

    Fuel Tank Strap Bolts

    This post can serve as a warning and instruction to those who have need to remove their fuel tank straps. On the Gen4 trucks, Ford used "red Loctite" on the bolts, which thread into "j-nuts" clipped onto the frame. For those who never had the pleasure of experiencing these fasteners from hell...

    Well, i did my phasers.

    Congratulations. A nice clean job. The lift saved your back for sure. Did my 2010 Explorer 4.6. Lots of fun.

    Disable Airbags?

    You can add a switch to any of the impact sensor leads. Any open impact sensor will light the "airbag" lamp, disable the airbags and send a code. It should clear when you turn it back on. Most extreme dune bashing in USA sand would bash a grille and bumper cover for good. Is sand over there...

    Sync Update Issues

    As DieselMonk says, check the obvious. Get at the TCU and make sure the antenna is connected, connectors tight, etc. Check the fuse. Do the basics that your "APIM-replacer" probably didn't do. Not many things won't throw a code. Look at basics.

    Aux Lights Addition

    Have fun with that bumper cover. I look forward to seeing your mounting of the M&R. I'm using a Garmin PowerSwitch. The switches appear right on the Sync Screen. Do you think the adhesive on that Velcro will stand the rest of time?

    New here, phaser question.

    It's about 10 hours' work. Either use OEM parts or the second time you will.

    Sync 4 Breadcumbing and Forscan

    Ford Telematics can track the vehicle, but only Ford has that ability. They claim only with your permission or the proper law enforcement request. Other than that, it's as Loki states.

    Climate Control Improvements

    Thank you Robert. I'm familiar with that type of corporate thinking, having worked for a government agency for many years in the engineering areas. It makes perfect sense.

    2024 Max XL Fleet Front bench seat

    Read my post above about the brackets. The module pops off the old bracket with plastic pins. You can zip-tie it to the new jumpseat bracket. Try to get the brackets with any jumpseat you buy. Also make sure the jumpseat is from a pickup with a back seat, as they have the seatbelt that pulls...

    Thank you for the detailed and intelligent answer. I never would have figured out this one. Two words: "Absurd," and "Why"? There must have been a reason.

    Climate Control Improvements

    Got in the 23 today, pressed the AUTO button and the AC light lit. It was six degrees out and dry. Nothing would make it go out. So I turned the truck off, opened and closed the door, restarted it and now it heats. Anyone know how this thing is supposed to work? I've read the Owner's Manual...
