    Dyno'd New Engine

    True... but the post above mine was equally absurd.

    Dyno'd New Engine

    if the OP is driving even 3 hours a day in an expedition towing, he's in the wrong vehicle and gears is the least of his issues... but, i agree... noise vibration and harshness will wear on a man for that kind of period.

    Sync 3 problems on warmer days

    the sync in my superduty does goofy things every single time Sirius/XM is doing a promotional free weekend... every single time... i've seen phones jack with it too- both android and iphones... i have a tablet i leave in the truck that has been jailbroke and cleared of weird apps (it's...

    Dyno'd New Engine

    why fear the RPM? I've never got that... the OE's don't test every vehicle for mileage... the EPA uses a calculation on speed/overall gearing/RPM/ displacement and VE. on paper the taller gear gets better mileage, but rarely in reality- especially for heavier vehicles. mind a vacuum...

    P0299 Turbocharger/Supercharger A Underboost Condition

    it was probably exactly what i said it was- restricted air due to fouled filter. OP: if it is something you are interested in, you can install a 'filter minder' which is a spring loaded gadget that holds the highest reading of the vacuum in the air box, post filter. it's likely not...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    if you go ahead and add one, don't bother with a tube and fin design- they're useless by my reckoning.... get a stacked plated design. they're marginally more expensive, but work not a little better but a lot.

    Love that EcoBoost... But...

    .... I'll tell y'all this, though i have zero data to support it: the circles i run in require diesel trucks to pull- and i've never been around a crowd happier and/or more lustful for the new superduty's than the current year. it's not only about the power, but also the cab and configuration...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    who the eff said anything about all day? learn to read.... i said the enemy isn't the oil, it's the sluff from clutch material contaminating the oil- and it should be replaced immediately. however, 240 isn't a big deal anymore for short periods of time and as long as it's allowed to...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    It's not BS. Those charts are old. That data refers to fluids of more than 20 years ago. Do a search for bitog and feast... it's the number one source of data and conversation about all things oil, and some knowledgeable fellas atop that. Today's atf, much akin to today's group 4+...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    I only know Mark k from various forums. He knows his shizen to be sure. He may or may not recall me from our interaction over the years. Yessir, the fluid itself is a lot different that it was even ten years ago... it's good stuff... the problem isn't the fluid, but the material that sluffs...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    I'm not disagreeing, but I'll offer that some folks put a cooler on with significantly smaller lines, and which causes a pressure increase way back at the pump, and causes all kinds off issues... from pushing seals to strange shifts... on the negative side (cool side) it doesn't matter... on...

    Where do you jack up your Expedition?

    This clown is trolling... I hope that's the case, anyway. Otherwise it lends clear and present evidence of our doom as a species.

    Watch out Big Brian, he'll get you on the ground and beat you with experience..... an asset all idiots possess.

    Crooked Truck

    This guy is a total imbecile... he needs to start with lefty-loosey righty-tighty and don't throw information at him such as reverse threads just yet... wow.

    Where do you jack up your Expedition?

    This guy is an idiot... seriously... You may want to leave mechanical activities to mechanics... wow... I mean, you tried to jack your truck off the ground, something my 12 year old could do with confidence, and you made it "crooked".. your words not mine. And you want to question people's...

    Where do you jack up your Expedition?

    put it this way: it's thicker than an icebreaker ships hull... it's thicker and made similar to a engine block, which has several thousand fast burns/slow explosions, however you want to look at that, per minute... it's thicker and made of stronger material than the hydraulic lift arms used on...

    Crooked Truck

    they sit in buckets/cups... they are easily disturbed when lifting, especially when tired... check the bitter end of the coil and make sure it's indexed correctly- it has it's proper place.

    Where do you jack up your Expedition?

    that diff case is hardened steel... it could support two trucks and not whimper... if it ever encountered enough weight to impact it, it would snap/crack- not bend. it's perfectly acceptable to jack a rear off the ground using the differential as a lift point. so long as the front is on the...

    Crooked Truck

    what rig are you running? 2wd? 4? crooked, as in dog tracking? or, sitting unlevel? sounds to me like you simply unseated a coil and it no longer sits level... if it's 'crooked', man- you got some serious issues...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    there is a fella named Mark Karwolkski or something like that who frequents many forums on the interwebz- and who was a transmission engineer for ford for a good many years. i think his last hands-on transmission was the 5R110W, which is one fine transmission. anyway, i'm almost certain it...

    P0299 Turbocharger/Supercharger A Underboost Condition

    dive into it hard at some point.... request the boost and see if it produces it (NOT resulting in a code)... it'll mean a pretty stiff dive into the throttle for at least five seconds, so.... be as careful as you can speed wise.

    P0299 Turbocharger/Supercharger A Underboost Condition

    that's your call my man... most often i figure cold air intakes to be snake oil, but....... you'd not have that issue anymore (if that is in fact what caused it). some say these engines like to breath, and that is true but is something of a misnomer, too- they DO like to breathe, but that is...

    P0299 Turbocharger/Supercharger A Underboost Condition

    altitude could have played a role, but your MAF ought to have recognized that. how dirty is your air filter? restrictive flow is most often cause for this code in my understanding... not 'just' with this engine, but others. it takes five full seconds of the engine requesting the boost (at...

    Love that EcoBoost... But...

    boost is a wonderful thing. i moved over from naturally aspirated several moons ago... it just can't be beaten with today's computer controlled applications that can alter timing curve, fuel trim, and even valve events quicker than you can possibly monitor them... one of the things you hear...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    the ONLY concern a person should have is to install the cooler DOWNSTREAM of the OE cooler- pressures playing a big role in the function of a auto trans, and the only place you can install w/o concern for interrupting that is downstream of the OE cooler, where it is simply returned to the pan...
