    Install OEM brake controller on my 2017 Expy

    Just got my OEM brake controller installed and working. Cant wait to use it Sunday to see how much better it responds compared to the aftermarket timed controller. Thanks all for your hard work. So easy a plumber can do it. That doesn't say much for the Ford Service department that could not.

    Little mirror in upper console

    Just try swapping out your sunglass holder with the mirror and you will know if it can be done. I thought about doing as well because our mirror is crap and my wife hates it. She would rather move the rear view mirror to see the baby and not traffic. Our old suburban allowed the the rear audio...

    Tow/haul mode experience

    The only thing I don't like about the engine braking in tow/haul mode is that I feel it stays engaged to long. Often times I am accelerating with my foot on the gas and it takes a bit of time to up shift. I would think once you press the accelerator, it will shift to the correct gear much like...

    2016 XLT Backup camera

    It probably a loose connection or bad wire.I have the same problem. Usually after someone slams the hatch down. Typically opening and closing the hatch gently corrects it.

    Ford, Are you Listening? 2018+ Change/Wish List

    I had a 04 suburban EL and the handling while towing the same camper and WDH ( professionally installed on both) was much better. I get lot of wiggle in the Expedition. I never felt Unsafe in the Suburban. I have spent much more time white knuckled in the Expedition.Granted increasing tire...
