    Oem tire lifespan

    So last weekend I had Ford dealer install 4 "new" tires in my 17expy. They had the best price in town for mount and balance, only $60. I bought the tires from a friend who had removed them from his new 2016 F150 at time of purchase and stacked them in his garage. Only $200, it was a hard thing...

    Throttle body failure

    I was driving to the store this evening when the wrench came on and a strange error warning on the left side screen. Throttle pedal was 100% completely nonresponsive. Luckily the road wasn't busy and I was able to pull off and restart the car. I drove it 2 blocks and it did it again, this time...

    17 expedition cluster update

    Is it possible to correct the miles on my new cluster? I need to increase them from 15k to 55k and a local shop can't figure it out. They were able to use Ford IDS to set up the cluster options correctly for my vehicle but I still need to get the mileage corrected. I had heard this might be...

    Cluster swap

    Anyone know if I can swap in a replacement cluster from ebay into my 17 EL? My guage cluster displays on either side of the speedometer started flashing off for 5 seconds, on for 1 second in a loop today. I'm having a guage repair guy look at it tomorrow but if it's toast, will a new cluster...

    Help, BOTH dash screens blinking!

    Jumped in the rig (17 expedition EL XLT) to head to church this morning, and the dash LCD screens on either side of the speedometer began flashing entirely on and off. Speedometer and blinkers worked fine and lit correctly. Sync 3 screen radio also working fine. Turned around and drove back...

    Not happy with 17 syspension

    Just got back from a 1600 mile round trip vacation and for once was not towing my travel trailer. I have to say, I was not impressed with the road handling of this truck. 50k miles on it, no leaks from the suspension bits, and no bouncing when stopped but holy crap it felt like it was going to...

    17 expedition bucking while slowing

    Took my 17 XLT ecoboost up into the mountains for some tubing today. On the way down the mountain I locked out 4-6 so I could engine break down most of the windy twisty road in 3rd gear with little break input. I began to notice the truck was surging or bucking as it rolled down the hill, with...

    My other Ford AC help

    So the AC in my 17 expedition is adequate, not what I'd call ice ice cold but it does the job, even more so now that I've tinted the front windows to 20%. My other vehicle is a 12 focus, and I've asked this question in the focus forum but there didn't seem to be a wealth of knowledge or...

    Involve insurance or not?

    Need some advice. Today while stopped at a red light, somebody blew through it headed my way and an 08 expedition T-boned the car that ran the light. The expedition popped both its air bags and slid sideways through the intersection 90 degrees gently to rest against my front bumper. The police...

    Overheating ecoboost

    Has anyone had this happen while towing? I was pulling my 6k pound rv up to Yellowstone and was closely watching my transmission temps. They never went over 204, but nearing the top of the mountain the dash flashed low power mode or something. I switched the Guage cluster to coolant temp and it...

    Instant HP gain

    Here's an easy mod good for at least 5hp. I ordered and installed "ecoBEAST" badges on both front doors in the same location as the F150 ecoboost badges. They look oem and unless you get close enough to read them you'd never know any better. I also added a "3.5L TWIN TURBO" emblem with red...

    Adjusting wdh hitch

    I'm making a 6 hour tow to Yellowstone this summer. I typically pull my 6k pound trailer with a full water tank and the tank is at the front. Since this adds a bunch of tongue weight I installed and configured my WDH based on a full tank of water. I'll have full hookups at Yellowstone and so...

    Chrome roof rack rails

    Does anyone know where I can find chrome covers for the side roof rails? I have a 17 xlt and they are black, I'd like to dress it up with the chrome ones. Ebay sells polished stainless steel covers for them jut only for the short wheelbase trucks. I'm not sure what the difference in length is...

    Ecoboost spark plug change

    What a PITA! 34k miles on my 17 EL. I'm running a 5* performance/tow tune (87 octane), so decided to change out my plugs for a good baseline since I just bought the truck certified pre owned last month. I watched the YouTube videos to make sure there weren't any gotchas, seemed pretty...

    Surgical tubing for wind noise

    What size surgical tubing do I need for the front window seals? Dealer tells me wind noise is normal, I do not agree. This is on a 17 Expedition. I will be putting the surgical tubing up into the window seal trim at the top of the door as it sounds like the front windows are not fully closed...

    Sync 3 rear air "auto" mode hack with Forscan?

    I have a 17 XLT with the 202a package that includes the 8" touchscreen with nav and sync3. What I don't have, is the "auto" button on the rear air control screen, which I believe syncs the rear air with the front. I only have an on and off button to enable or disable the rear controls. I'd...

    Adding power boards

    My wife is not happy with the narrow factory running boards on our 17 expedition. I know the limited and platinums have stock power steps, but I can't seem to find aftermarket power boards (like amp power steps). Am I out of luck, can they be retrofitted from a higher trim? Are there wider...

    First tow

    Wow. Just wow. I just did 300 miles round trip pulling 6300 pounds of rv (29ft bumper to tongue) through the mountains. I should preface this by saying I also installed a 5 star 87 octane performance/tow tune and ran 89 octane gas. This truck is a beast, once I got my hitch dialed in, it would...

    Spare key

    I have a 17 Expedition and two keys with remote start. I'd like to get a third key in case one of the oem ones gets lost so I can program a new one on my own. Does the expedition use the standard 80 bit SA key or is it unique? I'm finding inconsistent compatibility results on ebay. I'm fairly...

    New to the expy

    Hi all, swapped out my F150 platinum max tow this past weekend for a 17 EL XLT with the 202a package. My garage is now all Fords. I drive a 12 Focus SE 5spd Hatch and my daughter has a Sable LS premium. The expedition replaced an envoy XL SLT that served us well for 4 years and 33k miles but was...

    Tuner model

    I have an SCT X4 that I used for my 5* tunes on my F150, is it compatible with a 17 Expedition ecoboost? I didn't see this combination on the 5* website but would like to not have to purchase a new tuner if possible. I returned the F150 to stock before trading it in so if the tuner is...

    17 Ecoboost

    I just picked up a 17 EL 4x4. I had a great performance tow tune in my 5.4 F150 that I traded in (returned to stock tune first). What benefits will I get out of tuning the ecoboost expedition? It will be a daily driver for my wife but will also be towing my travel trailer now that the truck is...

    New owner, need tow advice

    I became a new owner of a new to me 17 expedition EL 4x4 with HD tow package (3.73 gears LS, transmission cooler, and brake controller) tonight. I traded in my max tow F150 for it and now need to outfit it for towing my 6200 gvwr 29ft trailer. 1. What is the best clip on type tow mirror...

    Will I be dissapointed?

    Hi, new here but not new to Fords. My Wife's Envoy XL is getting long in the tooth and I'm looking for a replacement. Everything we've looked at with 3 rows (a necessity for my family) has been a joke (my kids are young but not small). We keep coming back to a suburban, Armada, or Expedition...
