Small update but notable.
The dealer found antifreeze coming out the oil fill cap on 2/6/19 and a small amount anti freeze in the oil pan.
The dealer is thinking piston rings are damaged at this point.
Ford instructed them to pull the motor and find the cause.
Ford gave us a 2019 F150 KR...
So with the older failures the pumps have been leaking them selves or not pumping up to spec. Also the coolant lines keep popping off the back of the HVAC ( 2 times?)
General symptoms are no Heat (but AC works), Front cooling fans for the radiator/ Inter cooler/transmission cooler running full...
I heard from the dealer yesterday, no clue on the cause as the system is pressure testing ok. Said the tech said it started roughly so now they are looking to see if the coolant is leaking other more "vital areas". I just had the oil changed last week so my fingers are crossed that its not that...
So over the past 6 months I have had to have 3 water pumps replaced , as well as the HVAC system serviced due to no coolant or a line popping off after the water pump being replaced. In 13 months we have had the vehicle serviced for the same thing 5 times, all under warranty. All by the same...
Having done a 1000 mile road trip the past 4th holiday in the south east US, My 3.5 EB fans were roaring this past weekend. I have had a water pump replaced last fall(@18K due to a leak) so Im a bit concerned. Hearing that every one else seems to have the same thing at 90 Deg + puts me a bit...
If you are looking for used Carguru will help a ton.
New , you are not likely to find any discounts at the current time. The Navs are sitting less than 9 days on the lot, the Expys are like the mid to high teens in number of days. The industry standard is like 54 days. So these are generally...
The main reason I got a 2016 KR instead of a Limited, is that none of the used limiteds I found from 2015-2017 had BLIS. It was a "requirement" from the Wife.
We had it on our 2016 Explorer, but don't on my 2012 F150. She said with how big the Expy is she did not feel comfortable driving one...
Left blank button is the power tail gate
the Hill decent button is blank on 2wd
The Cubbie is the Trailer brake controller (same spot on 2008-2014 F150's)
I had Sumitomo's Ultra High performance and Max performance on My VW R32 and both my BMW 5's, My brother runs then HTZ 2's on his Franken USDM/JDM Scubie WRX/Sti.
Ont he BMW's they were awesome replacements for the Run flats.
Ive got a mid sized Thule that I had left over from the '16 Explorer.
Works fine for long trips, just have to be carfule when its windy out side.

I could do with out the Moonroof on both my 2012 F150 and 2016 KR Expy.
Never use it, its either way to hot here, Way too cold , or Pollen season...
the 2016-17's have an option for a mechanical load leveling rear end shocks ( which can be added to any of those years as an aftermarket...
So I tried to manually search for the update via WIFI , and it is still not showing up.
Current software is the same as when the dealer re flashed it in DEC. v2.3
Yeah it only came as a very rare package with the 22's On the limited's and KR's or standard on the platinum in 2016 and 2017 MY.
There are also Load leveling shocks you can order from Ford for the back end if you do towing a bunch. They were an option as well.
My 2016 KR , it just has the zone temps at the top of the screen and the bigger zone temps under the climate Tab.
No round dial pops up like when changing the volume on the radio.
yeah I had some issues with the car play adapter, and the tech reflashed it in like 5`10 minutes 2-3x while diagnosing it.
turned out it was a bad cable to the car play which shorted out.
So both got replaced.
I got an iOttie qi window charger wired up with a 10' micro usb cord to the center arm rest charge adapter

I have had a couple drops come in on the 3rd row side windows in a particular aggressive car wash on my 2016 KR. No major leaks. I will see the water drops on the inside of the windows when i am cleaning the glass immediately after going through, not a flood just a few drops. Nothing from major...
