    Is A/C cold at idle/around town in 2015-2017’s?

    I'm down the road in Tucson. I bought my 2015 back in 2020 with 70k. (Actually picked it up at Camelback Ford). It has always treated me well in terms of AC, until this last summer. Seeing as we set a record number of days over 110 and 100 degrees, I did notice it was a bit taxing on the ac...

    Time for tires, Michelin Defender LTX vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

    I put some of the Toyo Open Country AT/3s on the expedition last year. I've enjoyed them so far. Went to Flagstaff for Thanksgiving and got a bit of snow while there. They performed great. I got them in 285/55r20, but in 114T and SL. I don't tow anything.

    2016 cylinder misfire issue

    This. I remember reading on here a while back when I was going through my plug woes, a guy who had to go back to his retailer like 3 times before he got plugs that were all pre-gapped in spec.

    2016 cylinder misfire issue

    What brand of plug? Cause motorcraft are garbage (and their pregap is as garbage as they are). I replaced mine with NGK Ruthenium gapped at .028 and I've not experienced a single misfire since. Edit: I forgot that I also ordered mine one step colder.

    Bumper cover extension hardware

    Wife was in an accident a couple of weeks back, so I'm working on replacing the bumper cover and extension on the R side. I came across these bolt/rivet/things connecting the extension to the cover, and am having a hard time ID'ing them. No name or part number that I've been able to find. Can...

    2017 Expedition - Jerky acceleration, misfires (P304, P300, P305)

    As has been mentioned, I would re-inspect the plugs. My 2015 had similar symptoms, and I replaced all the plugs once. The issue was gone for about 13k miles and it was back. All the plugs were already chewed up. These EBs will eat regular plugs up for breakfast. I upgraded to the NGK ruthenium...

    Tire size and KYB vs Monroe strut

    I recently bought tires and was doing a lot of reading and searching for plus sized tire answers. I recall something like anything with a less than 5% change is relatively safe. But don't quote me on that as I did a lot of reading and searching the forum for about 6 weeks before making a...

    2017 Max Tire Size?

    Max tire size is always an interesting topic. I spent an exhausting amount of time researching this recently. I have a 2015 Limited 2wd with the 20" wheels, 275/55 stock. I wanted more surface area contact, so I was specifically looking for wider tires. I went with 285/55r20 Toyo Open Country...

    Ambient temp and fan oddities

    I also have the HD towing package. The fans have always had the roar to them since I purchased used in 2020 with 70k miles. A quick search at the time seem to indicate that it was normal. So now that its making a audibly different sound and not as loud, I've been suspicious since this started. I...

    Ambient temp and fan oddities

    Update: I’m going to be at the helm of the Expy for the next 4 days. This morning I snapped a reference pic of my cold coolant level, then drove the kids to school. I noted that at best, the ambient temp was reading 7* higher than the actual temp, and at worst got to a 10* difference. I...

    Ambient temp and fan oddities

    Thanks for the replies all. Some stuff for me to further investigate. A few things about the truck since I left it out in the OP: 2015 Limited 2wd, 108,*** miles. Daily driver, short distances. LOTS of ideling. I’ll check on it tonight when I get home, and I’ll be driving it over the next few...

    Ambient temp and fan oddities

    I read through quite a few threads but didn’t quite find anything similar. A couple of days ago my wife was waiting to pick up our kids from school, and texted me that the AC suddenly started to feel more like room air (cool but not cold). We’ve been in a heat advisory for over a month, but we...

    Control Arms for Lifted 2015 XLT

    The UCA angle of the 3/2 lift is brutal. Like it’s odd they say it’s totally cool. I watched their YouTube install video of those and tons of comments on the angle it produces. Not sure of an aftermarket UCA option specifically for the 3/2.

    Not Sure If We Made The Right Choice…

    When I bought my used 2015 expy back in 2020, the drivers side seat control panel was missing. But the dealer had ordered a new one and was just waiting on the part to come in to install it. I would imagine that what they should do, not sure what their interior guy is going to rig up to “fix...

    Spark plugs and coil packs 2017

    I had just posted the other day in my thread about my misfire. Just upgraded to the one step colder NGKs gapped at .028”. I’m all stock, no tune. Just a JLT passenger side catch can and a weep hole. My Motorcraft plugs were garbage after only 15k miles, and cylinder 1 (one my my misfires) had a...
