    Front bumper valance dropped down

    This type of stuff kills me because I bet this "feature" couldn't save enough fuel to pay for itself to repair.

    Tuxmat For Expedition Max

    I love the textured look of the TuxMat. I've got little kids that drag all types of sand, mud, slush into the truck. I bought smoother textured mats from Maxliner, and for me, it works better because I can more quickly clean them. If it were just me and the wife the TuxMat looks way better...

    In case you're curious what 30% Windshield Tint looks like...

    I have 50% Llumar IRX on my windshield. It's really the perfect level for me. Previously, I had 50% Llumar CTX and it was nice, but the IRX film is a higher grade and helps the vehicle stay cooler with more IR rejection. For NJ I don't think I would pay the premium. The CTX windshield was...

    Did you hard wire or is it a battery unit?

    Dirty Air Filter

    We drive all over the east coast from Quebec City to Key West, FL. I just looked at my notes and I changed the air filter with ~16,800 miles and I had noted "moderate dirt". Factory interval says 30K miles. For me I wouldn't sweat between 15-20K unless I had a major change in driving...

    Any tips for first time DIY oil change on 2020 Expedition 3.5?

    There is good advice in the previous posts. I use ramps to get the truck up. I installed a Fumoto valve model F107SX so that I could easily put the outlet where I wanted. I also purchased the little plastic elbow LINK so that I could put a piece of tubing on it and direct the oil to my drain...

    Replacement Tires for 22 Stealth

    I just put a set of the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 tires in 285/45R22 on my stealth. Pricing for 4 tires, mounted and balanced, was ~$920 before tax in Bergen County NJ. This was $300-$500 less than other shops and I've had my other car done this year, too. This model has rim protection, fyi...

    Upgrade Sync maps

    If you are traveling to an area where you won't have cell coverage, you can use Google Maps on your cell and download the maps of that area in advance. This works great all over the world.

    What oil are you using

    The only towing was very light. Under 2K lbs for ~300 miles combined which I would equate to no towing. Otherwise, I was genuinely concerned that the sample would indicate fuel dilution and or low viscosity. Yes, I could have gone longer, but it was just convenient to change on that day. My...

    What oil are you using

    I was concerned about this on my last oil change. Ran from January to August. Tons of short tripping all winter long running kids to/from school 5x a week driving a 1/3 mile round trip. 60+ idle hours, with OLM reading 24% at 4200 miles. So I changed it and sent a sample in. Pennzoil Ultra...

    What oil are you using

    Lots of opinions out there. Probably almost all of them are fine. Synthetic oil, quality filter and 5K intervals is the basic protocol. Personally I run Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30, CarQuest Premium 84502 Oil Filter with a 4-5K mile interval. I think the real variable in this configuration...

    Do you ever hear the clunk when you let off the throttle and then reapply the throttle?
