    Stupid Branch - Is there a quick and cheap way to fix this antenna cover? Was quoted 900 to replace (without paint)

    As far as the OP’s original question yes, it is a lot of labor to replace that antenna. The A, B, C & D pillars trim all has to be removed and the headliner taken out of the vehicle. I can see this being a several hour job. If you do it and break something you might end up paying more. If...

    Ordered 2024, scratch at delivery. Wait for 2025?

    If a vehicle is damaged from the factory to the dealership the dealership does not have to report those repairs, so you are lucky you figured it out. Most collision shop’s repair/re-paint will never be as good because the factory bakes the paint, and the collision shops can’t get the necessary...

    Lost the off road view, power distribution screens

    The OP was talking about the screen in front of the steering wheel and not the 15.5” center screen. I have also a handful of times had the steering wheel screen loose its mind only to come back (or at least allow to be re-setup) on re-starts. The 15.5” screen I’ve had come up black and no...

    Hood Deflector Options?

    Does your trim level have Expedition in raised letters on the hood? If yes, the Aeroskin one won’t work. I had the raised bug deflector on an F150 and have the Aeroskin on my Expedition. What I did not like about the raised one is it uses clips that over time the paint protecting tape falls...

    2023 Ford Expedition Gauges

    I can’t remember when it changed, but seems like sometime this year in one of the bigger updates the small gauges above the large ones started staying like they are supposed to. Mine when changed will now hold that change.

    Sync 4A update fixes some old bugs

    I was a little premature on the Navigation screen coming back on a restart. It’s like it always has been, sometimes. The Transmission Temperature is still holding after the last software update.

    Sync 4A update fixes some old bugs

    I just got a new update for Sync 4A on 3/19/2024. I don’t recall the version, and in the description it didn’t sound all that exciting, but what was not mentioned is exciting. The update fixed the issue with the selectable mini gauges not holding your selection after a restart. So when I...

    Usually how long does the vehicle take to build?

    I don’t believe things are actually how they are listed in the status page you posted. When I got mine the Build time took more then expected, but the shipping time was way to fast, so I think the lines between Built and Shipped are blurred. Ford would not start your vehicle down the line...

    Usually how long does the vehicle take to build?

    My guess is two to three days on the production line. Five days would be the absolute most time it would take. Waiting for shipment is what can take a long time. Shipping is not that long. Final prep is the dealership washing it and get it ready for you to pick up which shouldn’t be longer...

    Newb Timberline Question

    The part above the front tow hooks is plastic, just like the back bumper cover. The part below the front tow hooks is metal.

    2024 Timberline Lift

    Unless you are mistaken on what you had done you were taken to the cleaners because the Timberline came from the factory leveled with a 1” lift, 18” wheels and 33” tires, and no rubbing.

    Expy Platinum Max - what skid plates to get?

    I agree with LokiWolf for the full kit RCI is your best bet. The link you added is just for the Transmission and does not cover the engine, gas tank or transfer case. You could use that and gas tank and transfer case skid plates from the Timberline, but you can’t use the engine cover without...

    22”-24” tires?

    Some additional information from you would help (trim level, current tire size). I’m guessing that is an Expedition Platinum, and that you currently have 20” wheels. Your current tire size will confirm. If my assumptions are correct I would think you can go with a 275/60-20 Tire (that would...

    OTA snyc updates 2023

    Besides being connected WiFi, and Automatic Updates being turned ON, one thing the F150 guys say is to have the Parking Brake Engage. Once I started to do all three of those things it seemed like the OTA Updates started coming in. Setting the Parking Brake is the odd one that not everyone does...

    Using Expedition as backup 1kW power

    So, I’m not going to answer whether it’s ok, but give you some things to consider. First, if it seems to work then it should (for a short time). For your 1K load your inverter is not 100% efficient and I would think somewhere between 50% to 75%, so worst case you are pulling 2K watts. For a...
