    2018 Expedition Transmission overfilled by Dealer and resulting issues

    What kind of transmission service costs $675.00? For 675 they should have changed transmission fluid, transfer case, front and rear axles.

    48,800km (30,000mi) and $2,200 for Pads and Rotors Replacement Quote from Dealer

    Dealerships are a rip off when it comes to brakes. The markup is unbelievable.

    "Electronic Limited Slip Differential Reduced Torque" - Warning message. Used my Spare, msg now comes on periodically after replacing rear tires.

    If you have 4WD / AWD you should always change tires in complete sets. The differences in tread is enough to cause these issues not to mention it throws your transfer case into convulsions with differently sized tires. I have replaced a customers transfer case on an AWD vehicle due to many...

    Is an aftermarket intercooler really worth it for towing??

    You are way Your over thinking this way to much. It's a very simple solution, unplug the louvers if you want them open the whole time Those louvers open and close to improve aerodynamics on the vehicle and that is the only reason they are there. If you are happy with the performance as you...

    Engine temp spikes on highway

    I would guess there is air trapped in the system possibly. Some vehicles have a very specific bleed procedure to get the air out. If it is not air in the system is it possible the automatic louvers are acting up behind the front grill? I know on our expedition it has computer controlled...

    Shuddering hesitation

    You are welcome, I hope it is something else that is more easily repairable and not the torque converter giving you issues.

    Shuddering hesitation

    The way you describe the issue, light on the pedal on a slight incline around 30-40mph is a classic symptom of the torque converter going in and out of lockup. Push your tow / haul mode button or knob and drive the same spot where the problem originally occurred if it goes away and you can't...

    How to disable outside mirror lights with rear liftgate open

    Anyone been to a drive in with the rear lift gate open and no way to turn the outside mirror lights off? Just thought I would throw this question out there... I've spent the entire time being that guy at the drive in who can't figure out how to shut these damn lights off. I forgot the black...

    Am I pushing payload capacity too much?

    Yes ford posts a maximum tow rating and a maximum payload. When you approach the maximums you are stressing the systems that were engineered. When you use overhead lifting equipment and straps / slings, you don't pick the smallest strap rated at the same weight as the object you are lifting...

    Am I pushing payload capacity too much?

    Reading through all the posts, it seems a lot of you really question whether or not you are overloading your rigs or to close to the maximum. I go by the 80/20 rule. If it's not a super long trip I may push it a little higher. Maxing out on the ratings will not only cause your brakes...

    First Road Trip

    They are good long road trip vehicles and it has the best interior versus the suburban, yukon xl. My only complaint is that I have yet to fix the whistling noise from the drivers side mirror that annoys me. Gas mileage is also not that great unless you run premium, but than again like I tell...

    Best Roof Box for 2022 Expedition Limited Max

    I have the largest box that summit racing carried. The summit racing brand one. I like it because it doesn't restrict the moonroof / sunroof and has more than enough storage capacity. Only drawback is that it acts like an air brake and decreases the MPG slightly, but than again I didn't buy...

    Middle Roof Crossbar

    I moved the crossbars to the rear as others stated. When the holes don't line up in the cargo box i just drilled new holes in that matched the spacing with crossbars towards the rear.

    First major upgrade

    Awesome! Better intercooler = more dense air charge = more fuel, more power and more efficiency. Absolutely yes an upgraded intercooler can increase the MPG, because the engine is running more efficiently.
