    Burning oil smell in cabin from vents

    Hey All. I have a 2017 2wd limited with 3.5L ecoboost engine. And every time I drive recently, I've noticed an intermittent oil burning smell in the cabin. It's not strong, and there is no smoke that I can see. I haven't had any recent oil changes, so I dont think this is a case of spilt oil...

    2023 UPDATE, How Does Everyone Feel About Their Tunes and Tuners?

    Thanks! Yep. That's where it lags with my stock config too. Hopefully a tune will at least smooth that out a little bit.

    2023 UPDATE, How Does Everyone Feel About Their Tunes and Tuners?

    Did it help smooth out shifting with the transmission? Mine is a little rough in the lower gears. You can definitely tell when it shifts. There's a little lag between gears. I've got a 2017 with 6/spd transmission.

    2023 UPDATE, How Does Everyone Feel About Their Tunes and Tuners?

    I don't really have a preference. If I have to pay a little more for hardware that will continue to work up to the 2023/24 models of trucks and SUvs though, I'll do it. I suspect that my next purchase in the 2026/27 time frame will be a 2023/24 model. :-) How about logs for the tweaking you...

    2023 UPDATE, How Does Everyone Feel About Their Tunes and Tuners?

    Thanks for the extra information. The 5-star tune that I am looking at actually uses a HP RTD Gen3 tuner device. After reading a lot of reviews and based on your previous suggestions to me, I am avoiding the SCT tuners. AFAICT, the HP RTD Gen3 has all the features of the HP MPVI tuners except...

    Help - Service history suddenly disappeared from the FordPass App

    Replying to my own post for anyone else who has this problem. I ended up contacting the FordPass support folks through the chat function in the application. Top right >> Account >> Help >> Chat Then I told them my service history had completely disappeared in the application, and that I had...

    Help - Service history suddenly disappeared from the FordPass App

    When I bought my 2017 Expedition back in January and loaded it into the FordPass app, I got to see all the past 5 years worth of Service records. Last week, it all inexplicably disappeared. Now when I try to view my Service History I just get a screen that says "You have no records at this...

    2023 UPDATE, How Does Everyone Feel About Their Tunes and Tuners?

    I've been shopping around, and asked this question here a few months ago. LokiWolf had some great suggestions - Thanks! I've finally narrowed it down to choosing between 5 star tuning and their package with 3 tunes and the HP MTD+ tuner, or ZFG racing and their package with the "Auto Octane"...

    Anyone here replace their OEM turbos with aftermarket - looking at PowerMax bolt on kit

    Hey Folks. I've seen a couple posts on this for our 3rd gen vehicles but not too many with a whole lot of detail in them. Have any of you done a a swap on your turbos with aftermarket performance turbos? My mechanic is telling me that I may need to replace the driver side turbo in the not too...

    Ticking sound from 3.5L EB engine - is it just the high pressure fuel pump or something else?

    Thanks! I totally forgot about posting here. Just for other folks who may come here looking for an answer, I took the SUV to another mechanic for my own peace of mind. And they confirmed that that ticking sound is indeed the fuel pump. That said, they also told me that getting it checked out by...

    Ticking sound from 3.5L EB engine - is it just the high pressure fuel pump or something else?

    Hey All, I have a 2017 expedition with 85K miles. Can any mechanic here tell me if the dealership is being honest with me? I'm being told the noise in the video below is just normal noise from the high pressure fuel pump that is driven by the cam. They just replaced the cam phasers a couple...

    Who is running tunes on their 3.5L EB 3rd gen?

    Just a quick update. After some thought on this, I am starting out with a Banks PedalMonster mod first. I was looking at the Pedal Commander modules, but read a few reviews where people said the things failed and basically left them stranded on the side of the road with the "engine failure"...

    Who is running tunes on their 3.5L EB 3rd gen?

    Thanks! I've been looking at the HP Tuners and I like that they just plug in down below to the ODBII port and stay there. At least the ones I have seen seem to be a little more inconspicuous and don't require a window mount or any other type of mount. I don't want to dabble in tuning myself, so...

    To all you Gen 4 guys who had a Gen 3 (EB)

    I know this is an older post, but I'm just throwing in my 2 cents worth. If you want to have Fordpass Connect with the ability to see your vehicles' location and health in the app on your phone, or you want to remotely start/stop, lock/unlock and see any health alerts or alarms from your phone...

    Who is running tunes on their 3.5L EB 3rd gen?

    Thanks! I've been getting good feedback about the 5-star 2015-2017 package from my FB group. Specifically this one: https://www.stage3motorsports.com/7015-15-17-expedition-3-5l-ecoboost-sct-x4-tuner-5-star-custom-tunes.html But I've never heard of ZFG before. Is there a specific package that...

    Who is running tunes on their 3.5L EB 3rd gen?

    Hey All, I just traded a 395hp, 2018 F150 XLT that had a 10spd transmission with "sport" mode for a 365hp 2017 Expedition Ltd with 3.5L EB and a 6spd transmission. I love the Expedition Limited interior and creature comforts in the cabin. But I miss the punch I had with my truck. So I'm looking...

    Is there a forscan spreadsheet for expeditions somewhere?

    Great TY. I'm not looking to do anything super weird. Just the usual stuff everyone else does I expect.

    Is there a forscan spreadsheet for expeditions somewhere?

    Sorry LokiWolf. I wasn't sure where to post this one. You can shut it down if you like and I'll post over in the forscan area.

    Is there a forscan spreadsheet for expeditions somewhere?

    Hey All, I have used forscan before and have everything needed. But I have only ever used it on my F150. I used the tutorial and spreadsheets over at the F150 forum. Have any of you used forscan on your expeditions to read/clear dts errors, or add features or enable Bambi mode lights? If so, do...
