    After market struts/ shocks

    I had one each front and rear replaced under 3/36 warranty. Now another front is leaking and not covered under extended warranty, dealer wants $600. I have never done shocks myself, any recommendations? On a 1-10 scale of difficulty? Thanks.

    Does anyone else really hate the OEM tires?

    If you have a 4wd Expedition the window sticker may say it comes with AT tires. Mine did not, it came with the Primacy all season and I made the dealer put on All Terrain, Goodyear Wrangler with Kevlar.

    2018 Front Shocks

    I had one front and one rear replaced yesterday, 2018 with 10,000 miles. Both were leaking oil and covered under warranty so I purchased an extended warranty while I was there as I can see the other two may not last long either. I noted a sticker on both that said to keep away from heat as they...

    Had to replace rear shocks in the strut

    I had my 2018 in for service on Thursday and asked them to check the shocks before the warranty is up and sure enough the driver side rear was leaking. Only 10K miles so now I'm considering an extended warranty from Ford. They have an eight year 36,000 mile Premium Care warranty that sounds good...

    Replacement tires

    Check your window sticker if you still have it, the 4wds are supposed to come with A/Ts.

    Disappointing 4WD performance on snow.

    My advise is to check the window sticker and make sure you are getting what you are paying for. Our 2018 4x4 stated it came with AT tires and actually had all season highway tires. I made sure to point that out before the deal and after complaining at several levels they put on Goodyear Wrangler...

    Premium fuel for longevity?

    I've used BJ's club regular 87 since day on with no issues. It's probably better to use a top tier fuel and if I was having issues I would use a Mobil or Exxon. But I'm a cheap SOB, sorry.

    Front & rear windshield washer NOT?

    My washer fluid spray stopped coming out a few months ago. You could hear the pump working but no juice. I found and disconnected the lines and sprayed a little compressed air into the tank until I heard bubbles. I reattached the lines and it started working again. Last week the same thing...

    Toyo Open Country Tires vs Goodyear Wrangler Adventure Kevlar Tires

    I can't say about the Toyo's but I do have the Goodyear Wranglers on now and they are a lot better than the Michelin Primacy All Season tires that were on originally. The Wranglers are ATs and are very good in the snow yet provide a very comfortable ride year round in the Expedition.

    Undercoating?

    I went with RustKote just on the bottom, the rest is aluminum. It covered the whole bottom including all the brake lines, wiring, and fittings with no mess in the engine compartment or the exhaust system. $59.95, dripped for 2 days. I plan to do this annually which will maintain the warranty.

    Stock XLT tires...not impressed.

    My 2018 XLT 4WD came with the Michelins and I showed the sales manager the window sticker that said A/T. I ended up with Goodyear Wrangler Adventures with Kevlar. I had to pay for install but I get life time rotations. They are an improvement off road and on packed snow. Note: I was able to sell...
