    2016 3.5l Ecoboost ticking

    I have run with a weep hole for over 100,000 miles with zero issues. And I used to get multiple cylinder misfires like crazy.

    Replacing my struts 208,000 miles

    To clarify, I don't have air suspension on my 2015 Limited. They are special struts called Nivomats that use hydraulic oil and special valving to automatically level. All self contained. As for how the truck has held up, it's been relatively low drama so far. I have replaced both turbos one at...

    2015 Ford Expedition Performance Issue

    Likely coil packs or spark plugs. Have you connected a reader to see codes? It should have logged a code.

    Replacing my struts 208,000 miles

    I have a '15 Limited EL with the Nivomat rears. I have 208,000 miles on my truck now and just recently hit an unseen dip at speed, left the pavement briefly and came down blowing one of my rear Nivomats. Literally. As in I split the steel tubing and burst the hydraulic oil out. Anyway, it's time...

    Tuning Information - Livernois Motorsports

    Another vote for Adam at ZFG. He did my 93 oct race tune as well as my tow tune and the truck behaves like a different vehicle. I just blew my turbo and manifold and replaced them over the course of about a week and now with my boost back it’s really fun to drive again. Going to go catless and...

    Disable CEL When Going Catless?

    Btw, seafoam treatments are not recommended for ecoboosts due to issues it can cause the turbos. So that’s not really an option anyway.

    Disable CEL When Going Catless?

    I was getting codes before the turbo blew. They just came less often.

    Disable CEL When Going Catless?

    When my turbos blew, they also blew copious amounts of oil into my exhaust. So much so that I’m now fighting CEL’s from the sensors in the exhaust and I’m certain my cats are done. They probably were already with almost 200,000 miles on my truck/Ecoboost. Since I’m only using my truck for off...

    "Screech fart" noise on boost (medium to high)

    Yep. I promise you, without a doubt your exhaust manifold (mine was passenger side) warped and popped a stud. Super common. I just finished replacing my blown passenger side turbo, all gaskets, exhaust manifold, gasket and stud on my truck this past week. Quiet as a mouse now.

    Blown turbo. How much metal shavings is too much?

    Done!

    Blown turbo. How much metal shavings is too much?

    so the project took on more days when I realized my jiffy tite fittings were leaking coolant. Tore turbo back out, replaced both the passenger side block fitting and line as well as the head fitting and line. Let’s just say, you never ever ever want to have to do this. It was a HUGE (and I’m...

    Blown turbo. How much metal shavings is too much?

    Got the broken stud out finally with a little welding. New gasket, manifold and turbo are back in a torqued down. All plumbing is returned. Going to pull pipes on intercooler and make sure it’s drained of oil/etc. Oil pan and filter contain no noticeable metal thankfully. Once coolant and oil...

    Where is coolant drain Ecoboost Expedition?

    Since I’m replacing my turbo this week I wanted to update this thread with a couple photos showing where the coolant drain is on the 3rd gen Ecoboost Expedition. Passenger side. Likely not super accessible from side once wheel liner is back in.
