    Stuck on the side of the road with transmission leak, any suggestions?

    We’re on a road trip and are kinda at a loss. Debating on what to do. It looks like adding fluid isn’t an option but if there’s a way to do this then I can limp home. Other than a tow, who’s got any ideas?

    Anyone experienced transfer case issues?

    2018 Navigator Reserve 4x4 and tow package. I’m having an issue when I engage 4L. Once engaged it behaves like it’s not completely engaged and it immediately lunges and pops under throttle. I stop, disengage, move a little and engage again. After a couple attempts it works. Recently I’m...

    Has anyone mounted a fire extinguisher at the front seat?

    I’m trying to find a good front seat mount for my 2.5lb H3R fire extinguisher. The H3R universal seat mount will not work with the Navigator seats. I checked the forum search feature and didn’t come up with anything. I have been carrying a Element 50 and it is fine but I wanted something else...

    Voltage from battery ground to chassis ground.

    This post piggybacks from my previous electrical post. I’m getting 2.5 to 7.5 volts from my battery ground to the chassis and any bolt or chassis ground I touch. Correct me if I am wrong but shouldn’t this reading be 0 volts and anything other than 0 is evidence of something amiss, correct?

    Anyone with strange battery issues and the sticking trunk lid button?

    I finally had enough with my weird battery issues and I also had the sticking deck lid button issues so I had my service rep come get my vehicle. Low and behold, the sticking deck lid button was causing a draw on the battery which was causing my battery issues. I’m not sure this is the same...

    I have drive a vehicular mullet.

    Business in the front. Party in the back. I starting to think about a more rugged wheel/tire setup. I know there are a ton of threads on here already that I’ve read but one thing I can’t seem to find any concrete opinions on is 18 inch vs 20 inch wheels. I don’t want to change the outer...

    Noisy heatshield between spare tire and exhaust

    Anyone having this heatshield rattle when closing the rear deck lid or back doors? Mine has rattled, then fixed by the dealership only to rattle again later. I should get under there myself to look but figured I’d ask here first just in case someone had dealt with this and has a quick fix.

    Has anyone had the fan come on after engine shutdown?

    Just as the titles says, parked in garage, power down and get out. I come back a couple minutes later to get something out of the vehicle and all of a sudden the fan switches on full bore, it’s loud enough I almost hurt myself jumping out of the way. It ran for a minute or so before I started...

    NO GPS icon on nav screen

    I’ve never had this icon appear until today and it’s done it twice now. Any ideas on what causes this? It stays on until I turn off the vehicle. It came on during a second trip and stays on until I power down the truck. Thanks in advance.

    I finally got to take a break from my day job of stay at home dad and go on my annual adult trip fishing, camping, and other. This was also my first drive towing anything in the new Navigator as well. First impressions on the truck for camping are great, lots of room for gear and the ride on...

    Has anyone thought about removing the lettering in their Expy or Navi?

    The Navigator has ‘LINCOLN’ across the back in raised letters and I’ve been back and forth on removing these for a cleaner look. I know the Expys have badging on the door and tail gate as well. Has anyone taken off their badging on their trucks? Thoughts on this?

    Got my build date

    Got the build date for my Navigator and it’s the week of January 1,2018. Looks like Santa can’t squeeze down my chimney with it after all. I tried to upload the manual but it’s too big, I’ll try to trim it down and try again when I get behind my pc.

    Has anyone used the Ford X-plan on their 2018 order or any previous purchase?

    We used our Mustang Club of America membership to sign up for the Ford X-plan and are curious as to what benefits it has when buying vs not having it. We plan on buying a 2018 but are undecided on ordering now or waiting and don't know if the X-plan pricing would be different if we waited vs...
