    3.5 Eco Turbo coolant line connecter replacement

    Good luck! None of the YouTube videos show the rear connection that I’ve ever found. I just top off the coolant every month or two. Mine is a very slow leak.

    2017 King Ranch Coolant Leak

    I’m impressed with your having changed out the water pump. Removing the mountain of tubes along with reconnecting the part that goes through the engine is impressive. My 2016 has a very sporadic leak at the driver’s side turbo. Slow enough that I can go a month or more without adding coolant...

    3.5 ecoboost failure at 86,000 miles - 2016 expedition tuned

    I can't quite make out what happened in cylinder 4. My opinion would depend on whether the other cylinders also have damage, where the broken pieces went, was the crank bent, valves damaged, cylinder walls have damage? Seems like dropping the oil pan to check for pieces parts would be a good...

    Leak at Turbo’s - first time Ecoboost owner

    Very common turbo coolant leak. Several videos up on YouTube. Hours of fun if DIY. My 2016 with 116K miles has a slow intermittent leak on the drivers side turbo. I add a little coolant every month or two. Just like a toothache-when it gets real bad then I’ll fix it. OP - look at your 1982...

    3.5 ecoboost failure at 86,000 miles - 2016 expedition tuned

    Borrow a compression test gauge to check each cylinder. You can easily disconnect the turbo intake from underneath the engine to isolate the turbos.

    Radiator Cooling Fan Running at High Speed in Cooler Weather?

    You already know to check the coolant level. When it got a little low, turbo airplane fan was kicking on all the time and the Expy wouldn’t warm up the interior of the Expy.

    2017 Trailer brake controller part

    You can use any other brake controller but the Ford goes into the slot on the dash. I went with a Prodigy that I attach with Velcro when towing.

    Is my water pump leaking or oil?

    I don’t see the year but I’m going to assume 3.5 Ecoboost. Look with a black light at each coolant line than runs into each turbo. Very common.

    Unwise to buy a 2017 Exp XLT with 140K?

    I strongly suggest taking a look at each turbo coolant line. You'll need to be under it on the drivers side and passenger side. Common point of failure is where the metal tube goes into the turbo. Mine has such a slow leak that I haven't bothered to fix it. Matter of fact-it has been a...

    Tekonsha Prodigy P3 vs Integrated Controler

    The integrated one fits in the slot in the dash. The Prodigy has to be mounted on something. I used Velcro and attached it to the left of the steering wheel so my left knee reminds me it is there when I get out of the Expy.

    This is Driving Me Nuts!!

    Good morning, Have you considered getting a copy of the service manual? If you are interested then PM me if you don’t find active links to it via a forum search.

    Drop fuel tank using tie downs?

    Last week I had the Expy towed to the mechanic, expecting to pay $350 for him to install the Motorcraft pump, gasket and lock I’d purchased from Rockauto. It started up for him but was very sluggish . Turned out a turbo intake hose had come off. $80 diagnostic fee. Thankfully still within the...

    Drop fuel tank using tie downs?

    @BoolFighta Thank you for your reply. Did you replace the fuel pump with a Motorcraft or something else? I"m leaning towards a Delphi from Rockauto. It is $50 more than the cheapest from 1A Auto and $100 less than Motorcraft. I'm less than impressed with the OEM dying at 110K.

    Drop fuel tank using tie downs?

    2016 4x4 XLT with a dead fuel pump. Crank no start, all fuses are good. It is parked on our drive way which is at a steep angle. Tank is 2/3 full which likely means a 170 lb tank with fuel moving around. I've tried siphoning out the gas with tubing as small as 1/8" but I just can't get it...
