    Coolant consumption

    Don’t forget about the coolant lines to the rear heater core if you have that option. A lot of shops don’t think to look at the rear of the vehicle and easily miss that.

    Battery question

    I agree with Soliyou. It is an insulator to help the battery stay warm and also protect it from under hood heat. I bought it from the dealer and it was about $15

    Flood Extended Warranty

    Lombard Ford is another good one to shop online with besides the ones mentioned. I have a 2018 with 78k and just purchased the Premium Care Ford ESP coverage to 11 years (2029) and 150k about a month ago. After choosing the Premium care, you can add on the lighting coverage for about $100 as...

    Integrated front wheel hub 4wd grinding $20 upgrade. “Save your front wheel hubs easily”

    In mid 21 they did change to an electrically operated IWE and no more vacuum. Bet you just had a bad IWE.

    Integrated front wheel hub 4wd grinding $20 upgrade. “Save your front wheel hubs easily”

    It did, pretty much all models were changed around late 2021 to the electronic system.

    Integrated front wheel hub 4wd grinding $20 upgrade. “Save your front wheel hubs easily”

    Some of the late 2021 vehicles switched to an electric hub set up so no vacuum hose or vacuum issues.

    Ford quietly redesigned the thermostat in 2022...replace it

    It’s correct. All the later Fords use the same style T stat but the part number changes for temp. The 180 is for the Mustangs, HD Ecoboost Police and taxi cars and stuff like that but won’t come up for any Expedition.

    Ford quietly redesigned the thermostat in 2022...replace it

    I live up North and went with the improved version but in a 180 degree temp. Part number is BR3E-8575-BB. Trans runs around 185-190 and the engine stays at about 190-195 with this t stat temp. On hard pulls on warm days it will cross to about 205-210 but return back down after the load is...

    Air dam stuck down

    Must it’s the same as the F150’s. Here’s a pretty good video. https://youtu.be/DC_GZLR1Kpg?si=8tZtJs4xmYNk8TIS

    Topping off Orange Antifreeze with Yellow Antifreeze

    Hi all, Here’s the officials from Ford. I’ve topped up the new yellow coolant on a car with Orange and had no problems. Comparability chart also says it’s possible. https://parts.ford.com/content/dam/ford-parts/resources/motorcraftpdf/Coolants_Brochure.pdf

    transmission "popping out of gear"

    I feel for you and felt in this “finger pointing game” as well when this trans left me stranded from the C D F drum shifting. Don’t pay for them to tear it down and rebuild which costs a ton. The 10 speeds are about $3500 over the counter to buy from Ford. I’d say just get a new trans and see if...

    Donor transmission from a 2wd Expy compatibility

    They are different part numbers for 2 and 4wd. They both have different tail housings so the transfer case won’t swap over to the 2wd unit.

    Disabled Auto Engine Off But Still Shuts Off

    Is there a second key in the vehicle or close to it when you set this setting? Some are key specific and if it sees two keys it might not be able to retain the setting.
