    Question on programmers, CAI's and the relearn process

    https://www.summitracing.com/parts/knn-57-2575/overview/year/2010/make/ford/model/expedition/submodel/eddie-bauer The stock air filter housing appears to have a port along the fender side of the box that appears to draw air from outside of the engine bay into the air filter housing. That...

    Question on programmers, CAI's and the relearn process

    Programmer has an option for the K&N CAI, which is what I have. However, it's possible that K&N has released an updated CAI after the programmer's tune was created so there could be a mismatch there. Plugs are Motorcraft OEM and gapped correctly. Aftermarket coils are rated for same or...

    Question on programmers, CAI's and the relearn process

    Thanks for the input everyone. I'm going to do some testing and see what my HP & Torque look like and play around with the stock vs performance MAF, and then the tune and maybe reach out to someone to find out what a custom tune would run me. Thanks for the input!

    Question on programmers, CAI's and the relearn process

    Without getting much into the pros or cons of a cold air intake or the other parts in general, I have a question about programmers and the CAI and the relearning process. First the details: 2010 Expedition Eddie Bauer w/ 105k miles I recently installed: New Motorcraft Plugs New Summit...

    Tell me about the 3rd gen Ford Expedition...

    Picked up a 2010 5.4L Expedition 4x4 (not EL) with the HD towing package with 95k miles on it to use as a tow vehicle for our travel trailer. The TT UVW is 5720 lbs, around 6500 lbs loaded up, tongue weight around 650 lbs, it's 33ft long and we're loaded up with 5 people, coolers, clothes etc...

    Best way to read Trans Temps while towing

    I use an older version of this programmer by Edge. Probably pricier than some of the other options here but I also picked mine up on sale somewhere for 60% off the list price for this one, so it was a much better deal. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ege-85450 I use my 2010 for towing a...

    2010 blowing water when cranking ?

    So after playing around with every combination of CAI vs. Stock, Aftermarket MAF vs. Stock and Programmer vs. Stock: The knock got progressively worse until it started sounding like an exhaust leak. Took it to a shop and they are saying the passenger side catalytic converter is bad so it's...

    Cold air intake questions

    Bought a 2010 Eddie Bauer with the 5.4L to use a tow vehicle. After a trip through the Shenandoah Valley & surrounding "mountains" towing our pretty hefty travel trailer (6000 lbs) I noticed a bit of a tap. Vehicle had 95k miles on it and looked like it still had stock plugs and coil packs etc...

    2010 blowing water when cranking ?

    That is exactly why I shared it. There wasn't a lot of specific feedback on these types of mods online so I figured I would share my experience. TBH, I think I just underappreciated the extent of the computer mapping/control on these vehicles (I haven't modded a car since 1992-ish), how...

    2010 blowing water when cranking ?

    At risk of "told ya so"... After doing the upgrades above, the truck started running rough, knocking and seeming to get slightly worse gas mileage. Did some investigating and the common thought was it was running too lean and the only real suggestion was to either remove the intake and MAF...

    K&N 57-2595 FIPK CAI

    I just finished putting the 57-2575 kit on my 2010 and agree with the above poster that the fit and finish leaves a little to be desired for the cost. IMO, thee gasket strips should be molded into place rather than having the purchaser put it on and requiring the inevitably ugly cut in the...

    2010 blowing water when cranking ?

    Picked up Summit Performance coils, Motorcraft plugs, a JET MAF, a K&N cold air intake and installed them yesterday. Total cost: $750 Took 2.5 - 3 hours to do everything, went pretty smoothly. No oily plugs etc, only a little white but at 104k, not bad. After the install, idle was rough and...

    Bunkhouse Travel Trailer for Behind the '15 EL?

    I am wayyyyy late on this thread but figured I'd throw in my 2 pennies... We were looking for a travel travel that would sleep anywhere from 6 to 10 people comfortably and something that could be easily towed with an Expedition or Yukon style SUV. We picked up a 2017 Coachmen 289TBSS. It's in...

    2010 blowing water when cranking ?

    Since I'm thinking about replacing plugs, air filter etc anyway (it's at 100k miles, figure it's due)... Any thoughts/input on aftermarket performance coils, MAF and K&N FIPK Air Intake ? I'm not expecting to turn it into a race car or anything but figure if I'm replacing them, why not...
