    Paint the air dam black?

    Just swapped the gold fixed running boards to OEM power steps. They came off a 2008 Limited same body color as my 2008 King Ranch. So I’m not painting them gold. Actually would rather paint the rest of the gold on it to the newer trim color. Should I paint the air dam under the bumper black...

    Does a 2008 have wires for 7 pin trailer connector?

    My 2008 King Ranch has the 4 pin at the receiver hitch. I’m pulling a trailer that has electric tilt feature. I’m hoping the wiring for optional 7 pin is already back there tucked up by the spare tire?? I’m also wanting the turn signal feeds without combi brake/turn. Lawn Care Service and...

    Under hood accessory power

    Is there a place in the under hood fuse box to add a 10awg output? I’m about to install an electric scooter lift in the back of my 2008 Expedition. It will ground to the body at the rear, but I’ve bought a 10awg power line to run from the battery to the rear. I’ve read online that these...

    If you see one of these cheap and can ship

    I can’t find one of these local. I’ve seen some on marketplace for $100-150, but all over 6 hour drive from me. If you don’t mind taking it apart so it’s cheaper to ship, please keep a look out for one of these. Cheap, I’m poor. I used ramps on the pickup truck, but they don’t work for my...

    Anyone help me with...

    If someone has rear air suspension solenoids, could you take an ohm meter and check the resistance through the solenoid contacts? The previous owner of my 08 deleted the rear air suspension but didn’t leave the solenoids. I’m trying to turn off the constant cluster warning. Also does anyone...

    Bridgestone Dueler H/T

    A local used car lot placed a marketplace ad for new take off 255/70-18 tires from 2020 Jeep. Started at $300 but dropped as days went by. When it reached $150 I messaged about them. Guy was off until Today. This morning before I leave I get a notice from marketplace the item has been...

    Trans hose compression fitting delete help

    I’m repairing the leaking compression fittings on my transmission cooler lines under the radiator. I’ve cut the outer shell and removed it and the hose from the hard line. I’ve bought new rubber hose. My thinking is I don’t trust just clamps to hold the hose on without a barb at the end of...

    Help, where does this go?

    2008 Found this hanging under passenger side of the Radiator. Looks like a temp sensor to me. It appears to be all plastic. I’m in the middle of a transmission swap and was tracing cooler line leak when I found this. I can’t see where it goes, truck is up on stands too tall for me to look...

    Floor mats by year model?

    Is there any changes to front floor pan/carpet between 07-17? I’m being told that 2011 front floor liners won’t fit my 08 but I can’t see any difference in them other than the retainer hook. I can take out, move, or change the mat retainers if that’s all it is. Also does short wheelbase or EL...

    Dorman transmission pan ?

    I read on here that Napa had a drain plug transmission pan for my Expedition. I couldn’t find one on their website so I went to the local Napa. They could not find one either. Said the computer shoes a 6R80 pan but doesn’t fit Expedition. I think about that for a second and remember reading...

    Makuloco 5.4 oil cap and decal

    I just ordered these off Amazon. I was searching for a 5.4 5-30 cap and happened to remember there being a Mobil 1 only sticker for the corvette when I worked for GM. Bonus the reproduction sticker actually reads 5-30 also! Customer review states the cap does fit the 5.4, it’s a Motorcraft...

    Remove night shades tint

    I’ve seen videos of people using brake fluid, brake cleaner, and paint thinner to remove the spray tint off of tail lights. I will not try this because I know those chemicals will dissolve plastic. I did the passenger tail yesterday. The tint was faded out and to me just looked like crap...

    2nd row bucket won’t flip

    2008 I caused this problem while detailing the seat. I had it out of the vehicle on a table and decided I needed it unfolded. It will not let you flip the back up to seat position unless the rear feet are latched to the floor. So stupid me tripped the latches thinking all I’d have to do later...

    Is this the correct key fob?

    2008 Previous owner lost remotes. I bought this remote off eBay. I don’t see a Ford or any markings on the back, so aftermarket knockoff I guess. It programmed no trouble. Locks,Unlocks,Rear Glass Release, Panic all work, but Lift Gate ignores the remote. Today the dash button...

    Rear hvac fan obstruction

    After buying this 08 Expedition I could see signs of mice having been inside it. Not unusual here in farm country. I pulled both quarter panel interior trims today to clean behind and check wires for damage from mice. They had shredded a lot of the insulation and I’ve vacuumed out all of it...

    Chrome door handles

    Seriously Ford! How many different shaped interior handles did you make for the same door? Looks like one for every trim package, lol. I’ve found three so far, assuming one is a Gen 2. Pulled both fronts out of a Navigator and discovered they are too tall for the trim to fit back on. Anyone...

    Matching black carpet

    I found a perfect match to my 08 black carpet. It comes on a 6 foot roll at $0.54 a square foot. Just the automarine grade with no mass backing. Can bond with 3M spray adhesive to padding. I’m going to recover the original Expedition rear cargo floor panels. The one I got out of the Lincoln...

    Power lift gate issues

    The power lift gate has always worked with the dash button, and the rear interior button, but only sometimes will the outside rear button work. It didn’t come with keyless remotes, so I ordered two online. Programmed them today and the glass release works by remote, but lift gate has no...

    King Ranch trim color “Java”

    Anyone know where to find this Java color in a plastic spray dye like Duplicolor or SEM? I’m detailing the interior of my 08 King Ranch. All the plastic is black with silver accent panels. The silver has worn off the console sides. I’m looking for that silver (Stone Gray I think) now. Some...

    08 Doesn’t move any gear.

    2008 King Ranch 2wd, built 9/07. I’m being told it’s a 4R70W. I just bought it hoping I can fix it myself. 275k miles on the odometer and I assume it’s the original transmission. The 5.4 was replaced with a new motor 30-40k miles ago. I’m disabled but it’s mostly nerve damage issues with...
