    Ice in door jambs

    I used some RV weatherstrip conditioner to keep the doors from freezing shut. Reply every fall. Works well thus far.

    Catch Can Contents

    In my 2016, JLT installed on passenger side only. The quantity and look of the collected fluid varies over the seasons. It seems in winter it collects more and is “milkier” and fills around 1k miles. In Summer iI is more oil-like, always with gas smell, and about 2k miles.

    Replacing rear brake pads and rotors

    What about e-brake shoe pads? How often should they be replaced? I’m about to install Z36 pads and rotors. Haven’t inspected them but wondering if it should be replaced. 2016 with 140k miles. Braking good. I adjusted ebrake once but they always seem to go a long way to get them to bite.

    Recall: #22S11 BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAK INTO BOOSTER

    I called the dealer and made an appointment for the next day to do both the master cylinder recall and blower recall. Both got done in one day. The blower looks like they did some temporary fix rather than a replacement.

    SYNC-3 Upgrade to SYNC-3.4.21xx Ford Says this can't be done, it can, I did it on my 2016 Expedition's SYNC-3.0 System.

    I upgraded to 3.4 a couple of months ago and works great using iPhone with CarPlay. A passenger plugged in an android and now CarPlay is not coming up. Do I need to reset something for it to come back?

    Trip With Trailer

    Check out Andersen hitch. Easy to use and handle, also quiet.

    Lazy man’s oil change…

    I do my oil changes myself. Just did the first one last weekend and what a PIA compared to other vehicles. That being said oil and filter is cheap insurance against premature engine damage. In a normally aspirated engine I would skip the oil filter. On this turbo I would not recommend it.

    Gurgling from Engine After Shutdown (2018)

    My 2016 was doing the gurgling sound and I didn’t know what it was. Went to FL last week ~350 miles one way, first long trip since fluid change. Noticed the level was really low and no leaks anywhere. Refilled to normal cold level. This morning I noticed the gurgling was gone. Glad I can across...

    Trailer Sway Control (TSC) "fighting" Andersen WDH?

    I’m towing 4100 lbs tow trailer with 2016 Limited with tow package and Andersen hitch. When hitching I always have to turn off TSC and change the brake setting to electric. It’s a PITA, but tows really well for me at highway speeds. I’ve also towed about 10 miles without the chains and felt...

    Tranny Service

    iMO Drain and fill is the way to go. Replenishes additives that wear out over time. No way that fluid is “lifetime”. Doing drain and fill gradually eases new fluid in with the old.
