    WHat or how can I change the look - 2020 Max

    Mr Big.. so true!!! I appreciate the chrome look. My dad was a truck driver and well Chrome was a thing :) I like the blacked-out look, like your son :) even the flat paint :) This expy is nice, NO DOUBT. the Platinum interior. Love the seats. And yes I want what I don't have :) :) But...

    WHat or how can I change the look - 2020 Max

    Well, I will admit I was stupid in the question and not realizing something I already knew. When looking at the Super Duty, I did not like the Limited trim for a variety of reasons. The interior is all good, but 22" wheels on a Super Duty I don't like. So, in looking at different grill types...

    WHat or how can I change the look - 2020 Max

    HA! Sorry, I had a 2017, the last one before the aluminum body. I have debated looking at Stealth parts for sure. I have a hard time figuring out where the junk yards are. The shipping for the body parts is too much. One thing is the 2017 had factory fender flares. That helped with the...

    WHat or how can I change the look - 2020 Max

    I am coming from a 2018 to a 2020. I liked the lines on the 2018 over the 2020 as the 2020 seems more "smooth" overall. and looks like an oval. That is an exaggeration, but something like that. I don't like that look. This also has the Chrome package, and I am not a fan of such. Why I have...

    Exhaust Noise - seems too loud

    Platinum 4x4 MAX. I am standing outside. Inside I only hear it, but it seems to calm down some in time.

    Exhaust Noise - seems too loud

    comign from a 2017, this 2020 seems louder. I cant tell if the increased noise is from the exhaust manifold, cat converter area and even out of the resonator/muffler, almost like all 3. I bought it used and the price was pretty good, so I am waiting for "the issue". But I saw in another...

    How to clean/treat Platinum seats

    Wow, now that was a response :) Fair points and yes I knew the older King Ranch seats needed to be treated as they were "real leather". I was unsure if these new seats were like those or not and what is needed. Thanks for the details.

    How to clean/treat Platinum seats

    I have to think there is a different forum for this, but I will start here. My 17 Limited I used some leather cleaner and I don't think it worked well or right, or I used it wrong. For these '20 seats, the leather is very different (softer) so I know I need to do something different, but what...

    Platinum - 400HP Rating?

    Curious with this crowd. Can I add an octane boost vs going to 91 oct (or 93)? I would want to do the math of cost of the additive vs the increased fuel cost. Thanks :)

    Platinum - 400HP Rating?

    Thanks for all the answers and interesting back and forth. SO it is a software enhancement, the parts are still the same. It will be interesting to see if I feel any difference between fuel types. Not like I can test HP with the different fuel types. I am coming from a 17, so a Gen1 motor...

    Platinum - 400HP Rating?

    Does anyone here know how they added 25HP to the Platinum series? I see it needs PRemium Fuel, but physical differences are in the truck? The CPU only? So far I cannot figure out how they got the increase. Since I will be owning one here in about 6 hours... I want to know things about...

    3rd Gen moving to a 4th Gen

    That is hilarious (in a negative manner), as I had to fight with Ford to get my 2017 VCT fixed. I know the issue :) I will have to see if I can figure out the build date as it seems later 2020s had the updated phasers. Thanks for that tidbit

    3rd Gen moving to a 4th Gen

    Hello all 4th Gen owners. I currently have a 17 Limited Max. I am looking to sell and get a 20 Platinium 4wd Max. I really like a lot about my current truck, the lines, the engine, the overall everything... But I bought a dealer demo and I knew the abuse that it was put through would come to...

    Blower Motor recall personal experience

    Super fun update here. As noted mine was replaced back in June timeframe. I was told then it was not the new one. But since it was failing, they replaced it and just come back later when the new part is in. Well about 3 weeks ago the AC started doing the same thing again, just turning off...

    Definitive Shock/Strut Replacement answers 2016 EL

    17 EL 2WD. for rear I had the load leveling shocks.. those are an issue. if you get stock shock it is super easy. as stated take the one bolt from the lower control arm and it gives you enough space to get them out... and only one bolt. the front, yes the tube tube folks tell you to take so...

    Tuner

    I have to update what I stated as I messed up my memory. I was re-read information from LokiWolf. He does NOT like 5-Star. Luckily there was another site that offers the SCT AND the MPT turners, so I have a choice between them. The MPT is $250 more. The website says 110 HP gain. I find...

    Tuner

    I wanted to re-ask the question for me as I have read all I can but looking for confirmation. My truck is a stock engine entirely, and no intention of changing any of that. I have the 2" shock lift (Bilstein) and running Toyos... a little too large :) I tow a heavy camper, maybe once every 2...

    To the Max or Not?

    Add to the existing comments. I had a normal expy. myself and my 3 boys. That was perfect for us and sports and everything. I do use the roof rack at times. Got married and added 2 more boys. I had to get a bed extender for trips. Then the expy has some issues so I decided to get a new...

    Intercooler Charge Tube replacement

    OH!!!! I did not check the site enough. I ordered the replacement from Ford and put it on. I will admit I am a little leery of going the custom o-ring route.. Thanks a bunch for that offer, though. I will give it a little time and see if the motor behaves better. It has developed this...

    Blower Motor recall personal experience

    Yes, to be clear after I picked it up, the blower motor on mine was bad, it did not work, but I also had wiring issues. But I will still need to go back to get the revised blower when fixed.

    Intercooler Charge Tube replacement

    Mine was not noise related, I crawled under the truck to check on a suspension part and I saw oil leaking. It was coming out of the bottom part of the tube.. then I did the typical internet searching to understand about a catch can and that this is a known thing... sometimes. I went to Ford...

    2017 EL OBD Codes P0019 and P0299

    You mentioned rattling on startup, There is a VCT recall on specific Expys in this year range and I had very similar yet not exactly the same codes. I had the 2099. But if the ratlte is only on startup and then goes away, most likely the VCT. There is a way to check to see if your specific...
