    Powertrain Malfunction and Pre-collision Assist Not available - Dealer says there are no codes??

    On July 9th I was on the highway when the truck shuddered, threw both the pre-collision assist not available and powertrain malfunction/reduced power alerts on the dash and went into limp mode. Alerts popped up on my phone through the app as well. I exited the highway, shut the vehicle off and...

    I got the truck back and startup sounds great. Nice and quiet! I still get a rattle at idle that doesn't go away and can be demonstrated with a few little blips of the throttle - this is even after the driver's side turbo was replaced. It sounds like a heat shield rattle still, so I'll have to...

    Why does my B&O Sound System sound like a$$?

    I believe mine is in Surround. Is one mode preferred? I'd also like to take a moment to thank you for your sacrifice with Who Let The Dogs Out and Macarena...in the name of science.

    Just got an update that the turbo came in this morning and the lead tech will be working on it with the goal of finishing up install this afternoon or early tomorrow morning. So far so good with this dealer who is new to me. So, I hope to have the truck back tomorrow with TSB work done and a...

    Well, here's the update. I got an email stating the tech completed the TSB-related work an hour or so ago - it took all day Tuesday and another 6 hours today with a dedicated tech. He started it back up and the second rattle isn't gone so they've ordered a driver's side turbo and parts for the...

    We'll see if I'm "lucky" or the dealership doesn't know what it's doing. I'm really hoping it is luck, but based on everything I read, I'm surprised by the time they think it will take AND availability of parts. It seems so normal it's suspicious. Ha!

    I really appreciate the heads up! The tech doing the work has done this before. When I asked he said, "I've done enough." Not the chattiest guy I've met. Parts didn't seem to be an issue. I'm naturally skeptical when it comes to vehicle servicing, but I'm trying to chill out. I brought it in...

    Set back #1! I rolled in this morning, they took the truck back and the Service Advisor came out because the Lead Tech told him he was on vacation this afternoon and not back until Monday. Lead Tech said he didn't want to get started and then go away for most of a week. Service Advisor was...

    Thanks! Here's the link to the TSB. It states 10.1h for an Expedition.

    FYI - The TSB work begins tomorrow morning. I believe they said something like 11 hours of labor and I should be able to pick it up Thursday afternoon. They know I'm hearing the wastegate rattle as well and said they'll look to begin that work after they finish the TSB work. Essentially, they're...

    Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Honestly, I was looking for white with stealth and thought I was going to end up settling for this color, but the more I thought about it, the more this color appealed to me. Under cooler lights is is much more gunmetal grey. Under warmer lights the green comes...

    Hey there. The truck itself has an option package they call "Stealth" that blacks out the grille, fog housings, some interior light pieces, the black horizontal bar on the rear hatch, and the wheels. The only vinyl work done on the truck is the vertical pieces between the back doors and the rear...

    Thanks for the heads up. I actually live in WI, so heat rejection is not as important as it is in Southern states. The tint shop owner actually talked me out of (spending more on) ceramic. He basically said that if I only do the front two windows the heat rejection will have an impact, but not...

    Sure. This thread here has more info, but these are made specifically for the Expedition and will protect the seat backs as you load and unload cargo. For whatever reason the pictures of them don't match what they actually look like...

    Cold start rattle in the turbo

    So here's my understanding - and someone can correct me if I'm wrong: The rattle in the video is wastegate/wastegate actuator rattle. It happens for a sustained period of time (not just a few seconds after startup) and can be demonstrated at idle or by blipping the throttle a bit. Knocking...
