    Convert rotary to console shift?

    I feel for you. However, a rotary beats a push button EVERY TIME. A rotary is just a stick in a curve. It has continuous tactile feedback, you can feel where it is, eyeball not required. A PB has zero feedback, separate switches, usually requires eyeballs. Be happy Ford hasn't gone...

    I'm not the first to say this. Read and follow the manual.

    Lazy man’s oil change…

    Using your own description, you're a lazy dude. Saving $10 on a filter and risking a $10K engine replacement. Lazy is the least offensive word to describe you. But you do have free will. Go for it.

    Dumb question

    Not a dumb question. A dumb question is like "How dark is the black paint?" Or, "Can I see thru the windshield if the wipers are on?"

    Raptor Steering Wheel with Paddles in Expedition

    Question about paddles. Why? I've never understand the reasoning for them. They are completely unusable unless you are driving in a straight line. Do they really provide any improvement in vehicle operation, or is it a way to pretend you have a manual? I've played with them once in my 20...

    Michigan winters will turn any floor mat color salty white.

    Is this too much rust? Need advice before buying.

    Looks perfect to me. Go for it. You gotta remember that rust is a good thing. Sure the surface looks bad but it covers up the good metal underneath with the rust. You don't need rust protection or paint or anything like that. It's the perfect preservative. Rust also helps hold older...

    My Expedition came with Platinum Price and Pinto Quality

    I hope your state has a lemon law. The one problem that really bothers me is the mechanic fabricated harness. That is a huge red flag. If the harness is not available you should replace the NHA, which is probably the transmission. I would not accept a shadetree fix from a dealer. That is...

    Expedition vs Navigator

    I want to know how that boat floats with the massive engine. Or is it one of the new, but rare, vertical float boats? But, overall, a great looking rig.

    Help ... What is this Cable???

    You realize, don't you, that you are messing with explosives, right? If the airbags are restricted with your lizardskin and polyiso (whatever that crap is) you're mucking with your life and whoever's in the XP with you. Definitely not a good idea. Just because you can remove them, doesn't...

    Dents, dents and more dents

    I check my vehicle and have my keys ready every time I park in a parking lot. Except that ONE TIME. Rear hatch has a nice imprint of something. Oh, why do I have my keys ready? Do unto others as they do unto you.

    Q: So Snow Mode is for Snow/Ice Conditions, but What if on the Highway?

    "But if you are traveling with traffic at highway speeds, and there are some snowy, icy bits what mode would you all recommend?" Slow down.

    6 month review, 18 Navigator VS 18 Expedition.

    Best comment you made was the push button tranny negativity. I couldn't say that any better. I have to look to see which button to push. Dials aren't much better but at least you have tactile feedback, just like a shifter arm/post/leg/whatever. I hate pushbuttons. They are crap in any vehicle.

    would you use a chinese part on your exped? (rear window strut)

    If I had the choice, I would not buy Made in Communist China parts. That is not always possible, for anything. Made anywhere else works for me, just not MICC. MICC is a last resort. And yes, I will pay more for Made in Anywhere Else than MICC

    Tree sap removal

    WD-40 guaranteed to work and won't harm the paint. I wouldn't trust Gary Hanna's turpentine idea, though.

    2012 expedition 2wd to 4wd conversion

    Loqmane, you say you have a working donor car. I think it would be easier to move all the body parts, seats, and cabin panels from your 2WD to the 4WD donor. If you try to mod your 2WD into a 4WD, I think you will end up with two donor Xpys and no drivable vehicle.

    Electric Power Steering Failure after jumping another vehicle

    I'm replying to an old one but I had the exact same issue. Jumped another truck and lost power steering, traction control, and several other things. My problem was caused by a blown 125 amp fuse located on the battery positive terminal. Dealers and parts stores don't stock this item. The...
