    Piston ring replaced

    What does your paperwork say was replaced with the ring job? Smoke at startup tells me valve guides are worn. This seems pretty strange as most rings for decades are causing little wear. That really a full tear down to install, if no other work was done I’d be wondering if it they actually did...

    2022–2024 Expedition Limited/MAX buyer advice (HD Tow required, winter driving, prefer physical HVAC)

    Get the max if towing. Has the bigger gas tank. You’ll want that for daily use too. I rented a shorty once that was exactly the same as my max and I noticed the extra gas stops even without trailer. I tested a regular suspension 20 when I bought my 19 and you can feel the float with ccd. I...

    Is my mpg reasonable?

    Just filled up today. I got 18.7 in combined driving. 87 octane lowers the power so I always run 93 except for the coldest winter days where I will use 89. I do watch the tire pressures, although I typically don’t see any loss, sometimes seasonally they need topping. I’m not at all easy on the...

    Ford oil change mileage.

    What there is no need for is you looking to pick apart post after post. You also do not pay attention, as you completely missed that wasn’t my comment. I have to point that out since you “know better” on all sorts of stuff on this board, which I take in stride all the time on here despite the...

    Ford oil change mileage.

    If you’d pay attention, it’s not my opinion. In fact, I didn’t know that until I saw it from a professional lab operator that specializes in…wait for it…oil analysis. That’s actually a copy of their website, nothing that I said at all. You do tend to have these prickly takes for the sake of...

    Ford oil change mileage.

    Follow up- I went to look at who to use, I used to use blackstone, but have watched some lake speed jr stuff in last few years. I had no idea his site said this- At SPEEDiagnostix, we analyze thousands of oil samples each year—and here's what we’ve found: Over 90% of oil samples show the oil...

    Ford oil change mileage.

    As I’ve often posted on here, top tier fuel is worth it. What you missed is to go with the ones with friction modifier as well, only three choices for that. I’ll let you google it so you won’t feel like it’s hearsay. You’re welcome. Problem is, I’ve also posted about how often the oil...

    Not too happy with 2024 Expedition

    You might ask about a reflash for the pcm. My trans is so much better after the update. The tsb says 18-21 models, but maybe there is one to try in a 24 too.

    Not too happy with 2024 Expedition

    That sounds like a lemon to me. My 19 has been a good Tuesday built unit and the tsb work has corrected the issues I had. KTP does have door alignment issues, so not surprising the tailgate wasn’t on right. I had a rear door that didn’t close the last 1/8” off the hauler and the local dealer...

    Taking my 2019 in for Seatbelt and PCM Emissions Recalls

    I’m shocked to hear about the wait to get a reflash. Wow. A day? Mine was done with the oil leak at valve cover gasket.

    Cost to do trans filter service?

    Thanks, it doesn’t sound that bad, but I simply don’t think I can mange the time to do this. I’m talking myself out of having anybody do it at all since a grand is nuts and I can see them not doing the hot check like you say. I never have been able to get them to do a fluid check when doing all...

    Cost to do trans filter service?

    I’ve mentioned this and they kinda laugh about it. One ****** even tried to sell me a zinc oil additive, you know, the stuff they took out of the oil to save the cats. Yeah, you can keep that shit buddy. I do think with the towing and overheated condition it ran in for 30k miles is reason...

    Cost to do trans filter service?

    Did you have to take out the cooler or crossmember or anything? How did you refill it? Special tool?
