Ordered an intercooler!

[302Xplorer]

It’s official; this intercooler is NOT plug and play with the expedition. I need to remove the automatic grill shutters or cut it to fit with a Dremel. I plan on keeping this expedition for the long haul and resale is not an issue. I’m sorry to disappoint you all but hopefully this will help somebody in the future.

Wow,
Thank you for being the first. Sorry it wasn't an easy install. Was it piping or is it IC itself tall enough to interfere with the shutters?

 

[LokiWolf]

Yes. My friend and I wanted to get some baseline # s before the install. 5.8 was the quickest 0-60 we had. It really dropped off after that. Might be what “heat soaked” is about.

What app are you using for the 0-60? Using Dragy our 2020 Limited Max was 6.4. With a VERY basic 93 Tune, it is 5.6.

So...your tossing your warranty out the window for a bit more power? A new Ecoboost engine is like $9000 This isn't a sports car.

Move along! Go back to your area please. You do what you want, others do their thing. We don’t come to your model area and constantly trash or belittle what ya’ll are doing.

IC’s add longevity, not just power. They generally keep charge air temps lower. Engine pulls less timing when it gets hot. Can help towing and even with stock tuning.

Warranty is not tossed out the door. Dealer has to prove that the part caused the issue. Many dealers in our area are Mod friendly, and even sell modded trucks on the lot.

This is an Expedition Forum and you are not the moderator. You Expedition, 'racers' amuse me, that's why I read your threads. BTW, Mod friendly? Yeah OK. The only MODS covered by Ford, are Ford Racing and dealer installed.

Mod friendly means they aren’t looking to immediately remove your warranty just because you changed something. You are clueless! When was the last time you were at dealer with your vehicle?

No racing my Expedition. Just like it to have more power, and do it as safe as possible.

I think you are give bad advice and are a condescending know it all. I own a Mustang GT. A vehicle that gets 'mods' more than most Fords. Plenty of owners blow them up and then want Ford to pick up the tab. Ford does not fix them, they consider it abuse. You sir, are dreaming. I didn't touch mine until the warranty expired. I was last at the dealer in 2019 for the Ford airbag recall, state inspection and a PCM update flash.

Nope, Proven many times when it comes to these modern turbo vehicles I actually know what I am talking about, you not so much. You come in here without owning or working on an EcoBoost powered vehicle and give opinions and belittle those that are doing things to them. I don’t own a 2000 Expy, and never did, so I don’t comment. Did own a 2003 150., haven’t owned it for over 14 years, so I don’t comment.

You as the owner make the choice whether to mod your vehicle. I chose to, including power mods. As does the OP. I am also forthcoming with my Dealer if they ask. I have paid for repairs caused by Mods, but I don’t for ones that aren’t.

My 2020 Explorer ST Tuned is faster than any stock Mustang GT. It seats 7, and can tow 5600.

I speak from experience doing the mods, owning the vehicles, and dealing with my dealer service department with at least 1 sometimes 2 warrantied vehicles for the past 21 years since I bought my 99 Ranger. All of them had some sort of mod. Lift, Tuning, Intake, Exhaust to name a few. Never had any issues that couldn’t be settled with my warranty.

@rjdelp7 Cool.

@LokiWolf don't feed the trolls...
He must be starved for attention at home and needs to feel good about himself somewhere. I've never seen someone so concerned about someone else's buying decisions. Could you imagine ordering a beer in front of this guy?
