    It does it automatically when the temp goes over 230

    Temp Spike On Highway Hill

    These are not the same type of thermostats that they had in 1968. Mine failed at 69k miles. He also said his trans temp was also elevated, which is another sign of the failed thermostat. And pretty sure the thermostat opens when it gets hot, it doesn’t start out open when cold. It’s gets in a...

    Temp Spike On Highway Hill

    Not when there is documented proof of the thermostats going bad and it being replaced by an updated part.

    Same thing mine was doing. Bought the updated OEM thermostat and swapped it out and she's all good now. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/ford-quietly-redesigned-the-thermostat-in-2022-replace-it.53242/

    Ford quietly redesigned the thermostat in 2022...replace it

    Got the thermostat swapped out this morning. Took a little longer than I expected, got hung up on the bolt on the drivers side. Would have been easier if I would have taken all the intake piping out of the way and the hoses off the thermostat housing, but I didn’t feel like taking all that...

    Quick question for those that have swapped it out, how much coolant do I need to get? I guess you just have to drain the radiator? I got the new thermostat and gasket on the way, I’ll just need to stop by the dealership to pick up some coolant.

    Oh yeah that's the other thing I forgot to mention, the cooling fans seem to never shut off.

    That was into a 9 hr drive from New Orleans to Gatlinburg, TN. It does really well on long open road drives.

    Ford quietly redesigned the thermostat in 2022...replace it

    My 2019 Max Platinum just started running hot but so far it’s only on interstate when going up any kind of grade, doesn’t even have to be all that much. Usually when it gets to the peak it’ll show 235 degrees. I recently had 2 heater hoses replaced that were leaking and it didn’t start doing it...

    2019 led strip dim

    Just noticed the passenger side led trim drl is significantly dimmer than the drivers side. I’m guessing the only fix for this would be a complete headlight replacement? Also noticed a coolant leak on the passenger side, my ‘15 ended up doing the same thing and it was the heater hose. I can’t...

    Glad to be back

    Back in the day I had a 2015 Expedition EL Limited that treated us well but then it reached 100k miles and the wife wanted something new. Traded it in on a new 2020 Suburban RST w/ the 6.2 It was a pretty truck but I could never really get comfortable driving it...the seat gave me some kind of...

    3rd Row Seat USB Port Installation

    That's pretty neat. How would you hardwire the other end into the 12v wiring? I don't see anything by them that has open wires for a hard wire solution.
