    Regear 2013 Expedition

    I would go to deeper gears than that if you are going with 35’s.

    Updating my sloppy suspension

    Upper and lower ball joints for sure, check your Tie Rod ball joints, shocks are a good start, but the real meat and potatoes would be ball joints, control arms, sway bar, tie rod….

    Regear question

    I was able to tow without turning OD off comfortably, and when I tried it I definitely saw the rpm’s shoot up so I left it ON. And I still haven’t fixed the speedometer. It reads almost exactly 15 mph over my actual speed so at least I am not in danger of speeding and not knowing it.

    You can do it without having to run wire.

    12v switched radio

    Just had this issue. Get a radio interface. I fought forever with mine until I did some more research. You can find them at autozone for 60 bucks. It will connect to both of the factory plugs and you just wire it to your Kenwood pigtails. Mine worked great. It will include the harnesses...

    Vids on YouTube about the 5.4 Triton Make Me Want To Back Out of this Purchase

    2008 with 246,000 miles on the clock and no real problems mechanically. Switching to 5w30 can be your best friend with these motors. Just keep up maintenance diligently.

    2017 - Bilstein 5100 all 4 wheels - Lessons learned

    Granted I used bilstein 4600’s on mine but once I did the first one I found swapping the shock absorber out and keeping the stock coil springs wasn’t that horrible. A little time consuming and requires pretty close attention compressing the springs but it’s wasn’t all that bad. Not sure if...

    Tow package question

    If you look at the harness clipped into your four pin, you will find a blue brake line wire that is capped off. So I would assume that there would be a splice along that line if the 7 pin was wired aftermarket rather than the factory.

    Tow package question

    And honestly, if you really want to just err on the side of caution, upgrade everything you can to account for the differences between standard tow and hd tow and if you are looking at buying or pulling a boat, trailer, camper etc, just aim to stay under six thousand pounds so you have the piece...

    Tow package question

    And if you have a pre existing trans cooler, installing the updated one would be way easier for you than it was for me. But either way isn’t impossible.

    Tow package question

    So my 2008 has a class 4 hitch, no 7 pin, no cooler. So I have standard tow. But I aftermarketed the pin and the trans cooler From all the research I found, hd tow was the same weight regardless of your diff gearing the only weight differences beyond that will be 4x4 vs 4x2. So for all rights...

    Power Stop Z23 Brakes Opinions

    I have the Z23 Powerstops and I love them. I have good strong braking power with no problems pulling a travel trailer and off roaring. I have used them on my Jeep in the past as well.

    5.4 3V Engine Timing Chain Replacement walkthrough video

    Your 2005 5.4 V8 is a 3v. I believe the 2v 5.4 was phased out around 2002 in favor of the 3v. So should be the same.

    UCA question

    So I noticed at 2.5 inch spacers on the front, my aftermarket UCA’s would still rest on the coils when the front end was off the ground and suspension was at full droop. That being said, I haven’t heard any clunking on speed bump or with pot holes at all, and the thicker pipe construction on...

    UCA question

    Not really. I just replaced the lower ball joints when I did everything else. Those were completely trashed. But I didn’t notice any fitment issues at all.

    UCA question

    So far they have been on for a few months, haven’t had any trouble yet. I went with the black ones. I have an 08.

    UCA question

    I was worried about it too. I threw new UCA’s on it as they were thicker and had changed the angle of the ball joint to keep the ball joint from being cranked to the max with the lift. Freedom off-road.

    Debating trading in or sprucing up my '14 Limited

    As stated above, the money you will invest in a new vehicle at the current ridiculous mark up and economy as a whole is way more than you would invest renovating your vehicle as it is. Liven up the motor, service the transmission, fix the interior. It’s a good ride, barring any frame damage...

    gutless towing?

    I’m pulling a 30 ft 4920 dry GVWR 6500 trailer with my 2008. The only time I noticed overheating was when I was dragging the trailer out of a canyon and it was very minimal on the gauge. Might want to look into a regear to something deeper. Not saying it’ll be a draft horse but it may help...

    Regear question

    So we made it back. Initially I was concerned. I’m very prone to never getting heavy on the pedal when I’m accelerating, I don’t like to hit 3000 rpm and I baby my transmission. I can honestly say that with 4.10 gears, my expy moved through the first three gears very easily and while it...
