    Replacing my struts 208,000 miles

    I have a '15 Limited EL with the Nivomat rears. I have 208,000 miles on my truck now and just recently hit an unseen dip at speed, left the pavement briefly and came down blowing one of my rear Nivomats. Literally. As in I split the steel tubing and burst the hydraulic oil out. Anyway, it's time...

    Disable CEL When Going Catless?

    When my turbos blew, they also blew copious amounts of oil into my exhaust. So much so that I’m now fighting CEL’s from the sensors in the exhaust and I’m certain my cats are done. They probably were already with almost 200,000 miles on my truck/Ecoboost. Since I’m only using my truck for off...

    Blown turbo. How much metal shavings is too much?

    Haven't been on here in a long time as I've had a lot of trouble-free miles with my 2015 Limited EL. Quick synopsis: Bought truck with 50k on it. Blew drivers turbo at 100,000 miles. Replaced under warranty. Current ODO: 193K. Just blew passenger turbo. Fins are damaged. Minute amount of...

    My review of GTR Ultra 2 LED bulbs

    Purchased the high and low beam bulbs for my 2015 with projector headlamps. I’m 100% satisfied with these LED bulbs. I’m not an LED headlamp bulb fan because many LED bulbs produce light scatter, are cheaply designed, and don’t throw the light far out enough to be much more useful than a good...

    Which Tune? MPT vs Livernois vs 5 Star vs Unleashed

    I’m pulling the trigger on a tune next week. Can Loki or anyone here with some solid tune experience give me their thoughts on the main tuners out there? I’ve read and read and searched and searched and just want to know what your thoughts are on both a tuner and a tuning company. Looking for an...

    Turbo noise...(video)

    Passenger turbo or wastegate is making a noise and I’m not sure which it is. My drivers turbo failed and was replaced under warranty but it never made this noise. So I’m confused. Boost is good: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Heated/Cooled seats problem identified

    I finally took the time to dig into my 2015’s climate seat failure. Turns out, sometimes your lights on the dash will work and stay on just as if the system is working. This was my case. They didn’t come on and then immediately off like others have experienced. But I indeed have the burnt pin...

    In praise of my BFG KO2 tires...

    Honest report that most of you won’t believe but that’s ok. I bought my truck with 63,000 miles on it from a Ford dealer in Texas three years ago. I currently have 146,000 miles on it now. When I bought the truck, the dealership had installed brand new BFG KO2’s on it. I’ve never changed the...

    144,000 miles on my Ecoboost coil packs...

    I now have 144,000 miles on my original coil packs and they are literally all giving up the ghost pretty much simultaneously. I’ve had 4 out of the 6 die within 14 days give or take. Spark plugs are brand new now and now I’m just replacing the packs as they die using my Scangauge II to inform me...

    P144C code

    My 2015 Expedition is throwing a P144C code and running rough on full throttle. From my research this could be plastic shavings clogging the lines to the EVAP purge and check valves. So I made sure those were clean by disassembling the air intake. I’ll clear the code and drive it again today...

    Anyone have brakes for sale?

    I know some of you guys in the past have upgraded your brakes (I have no idea why, factory work awesome to me) and we’re selling your original rotors and pads. My truck is due for a complete job and I’m hoping someone has a set they can sell me. Those of you who upgraded your rotors and...

    Can’t find coolant leak location...

    Can someone familiar with the Ecoboost help a guy out? Truck is puking coolant into the ground and I can’t find where it’s coming from. I’ve had the truck on a lift checking with another guy and neither of us could find it. Both turbo coolant lines are dry. Water pump appears to be dry. No...

    Trailer Wiring Fault

    Plugged a trailer with brakes into my truck last week. Truck pretended there isn’t a trailer but when I squeezed the controller I did indeed have brakes. Turn signals, brake lights, running lights all worked on trailer and truck without issue. Unhooked that day and ever since I’ve had the...

    Scangauge II $13

    Picked up a brand new Scangauge II at a florida flea market for $13. It was in a ziplock bag and they didn’t know what it was but it was an estate sale so they were trying to just unload everything. I thought the shop that worked on my truck a month ago had stolen my MX reader as it had been...

    Door switch location?

    My passenger door opening isn’t deploying my power running board on that side. When I open the rear door, it does deploy, but when I open the front passenger door, it won’t. I’m assuming this is the door switch but I can’t find it anywhere. Anyone want to point me in the right direction? Sent...

    ODB reader recommendations

    So while my truck was in the shop getting the turbo and throttle body replaced, they either lost or stole my ODBlink reader. I need to buy a new one and can’t determine if I should get the MXplus or the BlueDriver. What are your thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Turbo and throttle body replaced now bad MPG

    So my truck is running like a champ with the new turbo and throttle body but my mileage has gone down noticeably. I’m not taking the truck back to this shop because they honestly capture vehicles and don’t let them go for a long time. 9 days was a long time to be without my truck. So I’m...

    Drivers turbo replacement...116,000 mile report.

    I guess some of you are right. I jinxed myself by reporting how I’ve had no major issues with my truck in 115,000 miles. That dream is officially over now. Truck originally went in to the shop last week for throttle body failure (P2112, truck stranded me in the middle of the road and traffic...

    Turbo leaking oil/bearing noise

    Sorry to be posting a flurry lately. Truck has been a little high maintenance as of late. Had it in the shop here for a trans fluid change. Shop noticed and pointed out to me an obvious oil leak at drivers side turbo. They are hearing bearing noise from it as well. I’ve heard a noise for a...

    Brake Bleed Procedure 2015 Expedition

    Just wanting the collective wisdom here to confirm my plan to bleed my brakes in order to merely perform a brake fluid exchange with fresh fluid: Starting at the passenger rear and working to drivers rear, then passenger front, then drivers front. Bleeding the brakes in that order is correct...

    Where is coolant drain Ecoboost Expedition?

    So I’m going to be draining and replacing coolant this weekend and can’t find the drain to save my life...do I merely remove the lower coolant hose? 2015 Ecoboost Expedition EL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Expedition stumbled badly on interstate.

    We’ve been on an extended tour all over the US this year pulling our 23 foot camper. Truck has been running perfectly until yesterday when it basically ran terrible and finally just lost power and I could only go around 60mph under full throttle. I assumed I had a bad coil pack or spark plug, so...

    Heated/Cooled Seats Not Working different issue than what’s been discussed?

    So my heated/cooled front seats aren’t working. Press the button, lights come on and stay on. They don’t turn off unless I turn them off. I checked fuses. All good. I checked the plug going to the underseat module under the passenger seat. The plug looks pristine with no burnt pins or anything...

    107,000 miles on my 2015 EL zero problems

    I posted a little while ago that I have had zero issues so far with my EB 2015 EL Limited. About a week ago, I did notice a very small coolant leak from my drivers side turbo coolant line. This only happened once in Arizona when the temps were in the upper 90’s. It stopped leaking and hasn’t...

    Coolant leak from turbo line

    I jinxed myself talking earlier about how reliable my truck has been. I developed the dreaded coolant leak at the turbo line quick connect and need to fix it. I’m on tour right now in a different state every weekend and am not looking forward to trying to deal with midstream. I know there is a...
