    Service Advancetrac Alert

    Thanks for the tip. Methinks you hit the nail on the head. I'll readjust the pressure tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks a lot!

    Service Advancetrac Alert

    The former, then inflated to 42psi, just under max psi for Continental Extreme Contacts. Great tires BTW.

    2011 Gen III 5.4.3 engine, 77K: I'll preface by saying I don't believe in Santa, the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, or coincidences; with the latter bearing responsibility for this post. I just increased the air pressure in my tires considerably and a day later started her up to the pinging sound...

    Primewell Valera AT Tires...Thoughts Anyone?

    2011 XL EL w/4wd: I am a septuagenarian and have been driving p/ups and SUVs for 35 years to include towing boats and trailers. I also hunt and have need to traverse corn and soybean fields a few months a year. Took a big chance and switched from AS to AT tires to tackle the fields, risking...

    FX4 Tires: A/T or All Season?

    Thanks for the quick response. I am still reticent to try the Primacys based on what little info I can find online. 99% of my driving will be highway with the rest spent crossing corn and bean fields during the hunting season so I don't really need an A/T tire just something a little more...

    FX4 Tires: A/T or All Season?

    Glad you stuck with it and got what you wanted! Remember what Calvin said, "perseverance and determination alone are omnipotent." But I didn't reply just to congratulate you. I'm looking to buy the Primacy XC for my 2011 Expedition 4x4 and would like to hear of your experience with them...

    Struts- Bare or Assembly?

    tpndrcn What a difference a bay makes! The bay, that is, in which my mechanic replaced my dead original struts with KYB Excel-G struts using my coils and hardware. It only took a few miles to learn that I had been driving a veritable buckboard for at least two years. No more teeth jarring...

    Struts- Bare or Assembly?

    Your post is eerily coincidental, for my expy (2011 EL XL 4wd, 50K miles) is at the shop as I write having its struts replaced. So, of course, I just went through the throes that are about to beset you. I did EXTENSIVE research, mistakenly bought some chinese coil-overs (also called loaded...

    3rd Gen OEM Seat Cover Compatibility

    I have a 2011 XLT EL w/cloth int. and want to replace with OEM replacement leather seat covers (yes, hog-ring and velcro attachment) that are listed as compatible with the 2007-2008 models. Will they fit my 2011 seats and headrests? I get conflicting answers from Ford et al. Thanks in...

    A Noob in Need is a Noob indeed!

    Hi, New to Expy's and Ford's but really excited about my 2011 EL XLT, 5.4 w/tow. It pulled my 24' SeaRay with ease and has the turning radius of a go-cart (compared to my old '89 Suburban). I live in NACL-land so I had the underbody oil sprayed before it ever got wet for I intend to keep the...

    Floor Liners: WeatherTech vs Husky vs ?

    Hi all, New here and to Expys so please forgive any protocol faux pas. Have a 2011 EL that I plan on keeping for a long, long time and want to protect the carpets fore and aft. Struggling with choice of floor mats/liners. My research disclosed lots of pros/cons re Weather Tech vs Husky...
