Nitto NT421Q I ran them on the 08 Exploder and currently running them on the 2012 Expedition EL. Love these tires!!! Excellent wet weather traction and braking, excellent road manners, no road noise, no issues with them and got around 54k out of the set. Top 3 of best tires i have ever run...

You will be VERY happy with the Falkens. I am running them on my 08 Exp 4.6 (265/65/18 on Ford Flex 18” wheels) Excellent wet road traction and braking, excellent in snow so far, not much road noise, no decrease in fuel economy. All around I am VERY pleased with them after almost 10k miles.

Nitto NT421Q Run them on both my 08 Exploder and on the 2012 Expedition EL. Outstanding wet traction, smooth, quiet on the road and a pure all season tire.

I have the same intake on my 08. It does get a bit loud, but definitely breathes better. Word of advice: remove the clamp from the air filter and use 4 self tapping screws to hold it on. As it gets older and the heat cycles under the hood the filter will “dry out” and shrink where it attaches to...

Nitto NT421Q I have them in 18" on the wife's Exploder and am thoroughly impressed with them. Excellent wet weather traction, excellent braking, quiet, smooth and handle surprisingly well. The tire is mich more robust that the pictures show...

Looks good! Word of advice: on any wiring that MAY be in contact with the environment, use marine grade heat shrink connectors. They have a glue on the inside to keep their water proof-water resistant property. I also double up on the connectors with marine grade shrink tube just for piece of...

I replaced my radiator without removing the fan. It was an enromous pain in the ass, but it is possible. It took me about 8 hours altogether. I also could not get the trans cooler lines apart. I simply unscrewed them and threaded the original ones in. Even with them unthreaded from the old...

You need to add a 12v power supply to that blue wire, preferably a 12v power source from the radio (I used the power antenae lead in my Expedition). I went ahead and bought an amp that had speaker level inputs, no requirement for a line out convertor. Didn't have to tap into the back door...

my wife's 08 XLT didn't have factory sub and she wanted a little extra kick. I grabbed a stock housing from a pick n pull for $15, snagged a Polk MM 8" 4 ohm sub, and this little bity amp: https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_77156_Precision-Power-PPI-A900.1.html This thing is tiny but packs...

I'm running 265/65/18 on stock wheels, no lift, with no issues

Those are the exact rims I am looking for! I would happily trade you for my 18s with brand new Nitto N421Q tires on them. Problem is shipping would be expensive.

What 20" rims do you have? Looking to offload them?

Hahaha

I just added a Polk MM 8 to a stock sub box the sub was just a touch too deep (1/4") so I made a small relief behind the magnet and used a soldering iron to "weld" the plastic together. I used a stock amp and bridged it, using 1 + an 1 - from each of the outputs. Works great!! Edit: If you...

So I replaced both of the front wheel bearings with brand new OEM units and removed the front driveshaft..... still have the slight grinding noise when turning to the right. Starting to think its the front diff. I replaced the diff fluids last year with AMSOIL, made a huge difference in rear diff.

Keep shopping, find a 4.6 v8 with the 6r60. Its not perfect but lightyears ahead of the v6. You will thank us later.

In for results. I have similiar noise and have not been aboe to isolate yet.

This. Had same issues, was a corroded ground cable. Had to cut 2 inches off of the ground cable to get past all the corrosion. Wife took it to shop and they wanted her to buy a new battery and a new alternator. I did change the alternator later one for a larger one, but for different reasons.

That looks awesome!! I love those factory 20" wheels and want them for the wife's Explorer. All in all I believe this is a worthwhile upgrade and plan on completing it once we get past the "Holiday slump"

I have the k&n "cai" with open air un-oiled filter on my 4.6. Other than an increase in intake noise, I have seen no noticable gains. Is it possible that it made a difference and I can't feel it? Yes. Do I think its a worthwhile upgrade without an exhaust upgrade and a tuner? No. I personally...

I use an STC ITX from 5 Star tuning and had excellent results. Although I highly recomend you get an SCT4 and NOT the ITX. The ITX is very, very slow to tune the truck and changing tunes quickly is simply not possible.

265/65/18 on a stock 2008 4wd

Original brake hoses? May have collapsed brake hoses. They wear out and expand (rubber absorbs brake fluid) over time which allows fluid to flow through from master cyl to caliper, but not retract from caliper to master cyl. Way cheaper to replace a couple brake hoses than calipers.

At least you got your brakes working properly.

Still my favorite mod. I actually have another shifter in my garage in case I screwed it up!
