    Bad tail light housing

    Most of all lights have an open vented design to get rid of moisture, even headlights. For decades.. The problem occurs and gets now even worse because of the use of LED lights which are much colder than the old fashioned bulbs. In the past the heat of the bulbs kept the moist away or dryed the...

    Real oil change intervals

    I am still with the vehicle reminder of oil change. I also use 5w30 instead of 5w20. It simply depends on the climate you are living. And if there is still warranty you have to use "stock" 5W20. In reality the oil quality is much more important. 5W20 is not 5W20. The oil has to be and remain...

    Attention: Your Ford Vehicle is not designed to exceed 65MPH

    I am driving my expy in the summer twice EVERY day up to 110 miles/h (which is the almost the max) for at least 15-20 Minutes each and I never had that. This is just nonsense. Btw the expy is limited to that speed not because of drivetrain issues but because of the Tyres. (cost and...

    '18 Expedition Platinum vs '18 Yukon Denali

    Yes, fair enough. On the other hand you are of course dependent on someone who buy´s a new car. Otherwise there would be no used ones... ;) Most important imho are lease or company cars anyway. This way you reduce the losses of a new car by far. Which is just because of taxes in my case by more...

    '18 Expedition Platinum vs '18 Yukon Denali

    Well this frustrated 90% loss troll comment is obviously the best proof of the hater Theory... (#sosad) Personally I would never buy a GM. NEVER! I just don´t like how they (not the dealer) treat their customers. Example? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_ignition_switch_recalls...

    How much did it cost you guys?

    Hi, I had a chat with some guys from ZF here in Germany and with my local "US Car" Dealer. According to them (both!) it is crucial to change the transmission fluid every 40.000 Miles to prevent damages! No matter what Ford says! For BMW with a similar gearbox it is offficially 100.000 km but...

    2018 Expy - Official Gas Mileage Released

    Well, first of all there are a lot more 2wd Expys sold than 4wd. The reasons? Faster from the line because of less weight. Less fuel consumption. Less Tire usage Much (!) smaller turning circle which is very important for me. No drivetrain influences on steering. And a lot if balls, joints and...

    stock to HID?

    OK, this is nice but a little bit insane. Why didn´t you bought some Projection Aftermarket Headlights and simply changed the Lens systems from behind?!? With Premium Lenses from Hella, Valeo with original Osram or Philips D2S Bulbs?!? Nothing really big had to be changed and I still have the...

    Drivers side window slow

    If it´s cold and the window is operating very slow because of the regulator problems, the motor of the window uses a lot of power. The folding Mirror and the window Motor are using the same power cross-points, ground cables and so on in the cable tree, which means that the smaller mirror motor...

    Drivers side window slow

    I had the same issue. Cold weather increases the Problem. The cause is well known and to find in the steel cables and mechanic of the window, not the motor itself! Over time the cables are splicing slowly and everything gets stiffer. In addition the Window glass is not moving straight up and...
