I just bought a 2002 Excursion limited. It has a tiny flip-down screen in the roof and a VHS player in the back of the center console. I would like to install a larger-screen flip down DVD system, but do not want to chop things up. In other words, what options are out there for a stock-appearing setup with larger screen?
View 6 RepliesI have a 2006 F250 XLT Super Crew. I want to add an in dash double din DVD and run a flip down monitor from it for the back seat passengers. Now I can see an outline in the ceiling where the previous owner had one at one point and removed it prior to selling the truck.
I cant do headrest monitors due to the fixed headrest. When I look at the headliner there isn't much of a flat surface to mount to the head liner has two drop down pieces, one at the dome light and one 8" or so to the rear of the vehicle.
Installing a flip down monitor in this vehicle or one similar? if so how did you get the head liner to secure to the monitor and not leave a gap? I'm looking at a 14" Tview TFT monitor from Car ID.
I picked up an 02 ex value xlt with out the rear heat i was wondering if any of you have installed it in a truck that never had it. i work at a scrap yard as a mechanic and will hopefully have a truck come in with the parts i need, what it all entails. Any headliner out for some odd reason maybe you could snap a photo of the piping.
View 14 RepliesI was driving to work yesterday and all of a sudden the "Hybrid System Warning Light" just came on the screen. I didn't notice anything different and drove it the same way. However, when I checked the energy monitor screen, the battery was low on charge. It came back to normal in about 5 minutes, but the light is still lit up.

Or to put it another way - Yet another Hadley air horn installation. First up made a mounting bracket for the horns......to mount them on the frame.Then another bracket to mount the air tank, wiring and compressor. Finally fitted an illuminated switch to change from OEM horns to the Hadleys. This switch illuminates dimly with the parking lights and brighter when switched to the Hadleys.

View 10 RepliesI have a pretty stock 98 Ranger XLT (Single cab long bed) MFG 11-1998. 3.0 v6, automatic, 2wd. Manual crank windows, Manual mirrors and I presume manual locks as well (All tho aesthetically they look just like powered locks, pins sit flush with panel when locked) It has the PATs system (uses a transponder key and has the theft light). When I got the truck I got one key nothing more.
I would LIKE to have an OEM alarm system in this truck. Blinking lights, remote, that sort of thing.
My questions, would this truck have come with the alarm computer (I think its called the RAP module). If so where would it be located? If I don't have one, can I buy one, plug it in, program remotes and use it? If so how do i program the new remotes without power door locks ..

View 1 RepliesWith snow on the ground all winter here (usually), and the summers getting into the 90's I was thinking about getting a remote start system. I know Viper is the big name but I just want something to start it, not do a bunch of prima donna functions I don't need. I normally do everything myself but electrical is not my forte and I hear that a DIY person can't get much info because they think only installers should do it. Also from what I gather, it takes a relay due to the transponder key. I am thinking $200 max and I hear Best Buy can do it all.

I don't like how cheesy all the aftermarket ones look and love fords factory controller and upfitter switches. Looking for info on swapping these in the excursions and had it working? I've looked on the net for this mod and came up with nothing.
View 14 RepliesI am i the process of installing a F-650 dash kit. I am going to relocate my DP tuner to a location next to the power source to the right of the heat/ac control section. I am going to cut out a section for the mounting bracket. My questions are:
1: What's directly behind that section?
2: If there is something directly behind it, can I remove just the front section of the dash or do I have to remove the entire dash from the windshield?
I am going to have to remove something anyways for the lower kit to be installed.
I have an 1980 Ford F-150 with an inline 300. I just installed a new egr valve on. Here is the problem:
After the engine warms up with everything connected, the engine starts to cut out and die while idling. This is due to the VCV opening up and allowing vacuum to the EGR. My question is why is this happening? The EGR is not suppose to open up during idle.
My XLT did not come with tweeters in the upper location near the door handle. Adding factory tweeters there..... I know how to wire them up but would like to know part numbers, pictures or any tips about install........

View 6 RepliesI am trying to install a 3 foot fiberglass cb antenna on a 2005 Ford F150 pickup truck. I originally was installing on the hood, using the hood channel mount, but in order for me to be able to get in and out of the garage without hitting/damaging the antenna on the garage door, I was going to have to go down to a 2 foot antenna. I don't want to have to go down to a 2 foot unless I just have to, so I am willing to relocate the antenna to another location.
The problem is this. I am limited to the places I can relocate. I could simply relocate it and mount to the bed rail, but I have an Undercover tonneau cover that overlaps all the way over the sides. One place that I was thinking about trying was between the cab and the bed, mounting it vertically in the center on the bed side. I could temporarily remove the tonneau cover to make installing the vertical mount easier. Is there somewhere else I should consider mounting?
