2016 trans fluid service?
Owners manual shows 150,000 mile service for the transmission, front/rear axle fluids, and transfer case. I am assuming you have 4WD. I have 85k on the clock and the dealer typically tries to sell me these services at my oil changes. I politely state I am following the recommended intervals...- B-McD

Blower Motor recall personal experience
I had my dealer order the recall part yesterday and they called later that day and said they had one of the new motors on hand - another customer that had it on order sold his Expy so it was ready for me! Goes in Friday. Along with me telling them no for all the other fluff service crap they...- B-McD

What would you do first with a new (to you) expedition?
Nice truck! I would take it to a local Ford dealer, pay them for The Works oil change and tire rotation and see if they will pull a service history for you. Or just stop by the service desk and see if they will do it for you without buying the oil change. I always figure showing them a little...- B-McD

Ice in door jambs
There's a new one! Since your truck is white, maybe you can put some food coloring in some water and pour it from the roof. Try to see where it's leaking in. Might be a hole or tear in the weatherstripping?? Just some ideas.- B-McD

Lighting anyone?
Stock headlights on my 2016 were dismal at best. I upgraded to LED bulbs but I also have the projector style lenses - which makes a big difference in beam pattern when going to LED. If you have the basic reflector style assembly, LEDs make "look" brighter but don't throw the beam as well...- B-McD

Hauling
You will be fine. Once you are past 5-6000 lbs. you may need to upgrade.- B-McD

3rd Gen CCD Delete: Has it been done?

3rd Gen CCD Delete: Has it been done?
Changing the CCD settings between Normal, Comfort, and Sport does nothing to the transmission. Suspension only. Good luck!- B-McD

Lifting 2016 platinum with air and ccd
CCD is only the magnetic shocks - no air and no leveling. I run mine in Normal 95% of the time. Provides a smooth ride. Had a loaner Limited and it felt like mine in Comfort mode - just a bit too floaty. If somebody added an air system you should see a lot more hardware under there. Those...- B-McD

Lifting 2016 platinum with air and ccd
Good luck with your project. Did you add air suspension and self leveling? CCD is neither of those, FYI. It is magnetic controlled shock damping. Mine has it and you will need a WD hitch if towing anything of decent size. I believe non-CCD models did have self leveling shocks in the rear...- B-McD

Winter Tire Speed Rating
Turtle - I have not put Blizzaks on my Expy but used to run them on my MB GL550. Stock wheels were 21's and I went to a 19" wheel set with the Blizzaks. Game changer for sure. I know the cost of an extra set of wheels and tires seems like a lot but you get a lot more mileage out of both sets...- B-McD

2015-2017 owners question.

KEYPAD OPENS WITH ANY NUMBER
Mine's a 2016 and pages 60-61 of the manual show you how to get the factory code and reset the one you have. Maybe that will work??- B-McD

2015 Ford Expedition EL with Ready lift kit.
Congrats on the truck. You've got it looking great! 5% tint on the two front door windows gets you a nice $250 ticket tucked under the wiper here.- B-McD
