    2022 Limited Stealth Beltline Chrome Delete RED!!!

    That’s fun and different. Add a splash of red in one/two other spots and it’ll look more complete like others have said.

    Trust independent shop to replace cam phasers???

    I definitely feel like Ford should fix it because technically the replacement cam phasers should be covered under this general parts warranty. https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/search/What%20is%20Ford's%20Service%20Parts%20Warranty%20coverage/

    Trust independent shop to replace cam phasers???

    Need 2nd cam replacement after 27k on them (91k on vehicle). Ford won’t cover. Cost is $2910. Normally I shop around I use 3 shops (one fully independent, one large National chain, and Ford service.) Would you trust someone other than Ford to replace them?

    Expedition as Long Trip Road Vehicle

    19 Max XLT, made a great trip from North Texas to St. Louis and back, then 2 weeks later, North Texas to Fayetteville AR and back, with hubby and I plus 6 teenagers and all there stuff! Great drive, no kid complained about space. The only complaint was that it’s so big, those in the 3rd row felt...

    Sync 3.4 to 4 Possible?? Hardware v. Software

    So check this out...I went and looked at the software in my 19 and it's running 3.0, not 3.4. Now here's the problem...CyanLabs updates are only for Windows, which I don't have access to. Any tips on moving from 3.0 to 3.4? Funny thing is Ford says I'm "updated" (but shows 3.0 Build 20204)...

    Sync 3.4 to 4 Possible?? Hardware v. Software

    Ok great! Thanks @LokiWolf...I was just looking into the CyanLabs updater earlier, but she's in the shop for cam phaser surgery so I'll update it when she gets home in a couple weeks. Easy fix...I'll run 3.4 for a few months and see how I feel about aftermarket later. I know the speakers have...

    Sync 3.4 to 4 Possible?? Hardware v. Software

    Hey yall...I was thinking about getting an aftermarket head unit....BUT then I saw that Sync 4 is in the newer Fords ( 20+, I have a 19). Does anyone know if you can just have the Sync updated at the dealer to Sync 4 system software or would it have to be whole new unit hardware??? It needs to...

    $3,000 Estimate

    It’s my understanding that the cam phaser repair is handled as a warranty extension, regardless of mileage. My 19 has 64.5k on her, and shes in the shop for the next 2 weeks getting cam phasers replaced. She’s WAY out of warranty, and I do not have an extended warranty either.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Little fun things that don’t take long to do, but give me a smile! Expedition lettering is now black, my home state is proudly displayed, and I added overlay vinyl stickers for front and rear Ford emblems (not in picture). A while back I debadged the XLT, I sprayed the T & X black and will...

    2019 Exp. vent louver knob

    Same deal with my 19, but on the passenger side. I’m not wanting to replace the whole assembly. Crazy hard to find!

    Must have tools!

    Hey y’all it’s my first time posting! I have a huge bucket list of all the fun I can have making my Expy handsome, BUT! I don’t want to send him to the shop constantly with stuff I know I can do myself with some old school elbow grease and YouTube, but when it comes to tools, I don’t have much...
