    Expedition as Long Trip Road Vehicle

    We have a 2011 XLT and have used it for countless long distance trips (over 205k miles on the odometer so far). It is very very very comfortable. I feel perfectly fine and rested after a 8-10 hour drive - no road fatigue. We do not have any upgrades or accessories. We are looking to replace...

    Lift Gate Cycle Interrupted When Starting Engine

    Hi All, I have a 2011 XLT now with 202k miles. One thing that bugs me is the lift gate closure cycle gets interrupted if I start the engine before it is fully closed and latched. The engine start interrupts the process and the lift gate returns to the fully opened position. Is there a way to...

    Front Differential Making Noise

    Resolution - I took my Expy to a local auto service shop and they tracked the noise to the left front hub assembly - wheel bearing. Nothing wrong with the diff. Total cost to remove/replace $550.

    Front Differential Making Noise

    Thanks - I'll have the mech look at that as well.

    Front Differential Making Noise

    Could also be a wheel bearing - I am told this is not uncommon on these trucks with close to 200k miles.

    Front Differential Making Noise

    I agree - it may be as simple as changing the diff fluid. I'm NOT convinced the diff is bad...heck...I drive in 2H 99.99% of the time. 4H has been turned on a few times in heavy snow for a few minutes. Period. So it cannot be worn out.

    Front Differential Making Noise

    So...the rubbing sound is still there, most noticeable at highway speed. I'll have my mechanic look at the brake caliper as the possible culprit. Thanks for the tip.

    Front Differential Making Noise

    I had a brake job done all around yesterday - new rotors and pads on all 4 corners. Turns out the front left rotor was warped - that MAY have been the source of the noise. I'll listen for it and report back.

    Front Differential Making Noise

    I drive in 2H 99.9% of the time and noise is on. It's a light rubbing sound.

    Front Differential Making Noise

    Yep - horrible it is. Not sure I have the energy, skillset and tools to tear it apart myself. Your note about "Leaving in 4 auto all the time..." has me a bit worried as I very seldom select "4 auto" and, if I do, it is for a very short time in conditions that warrant it. Last time I used it...

    2011 EL - Turn off TPMS with FORSCAN

    Hi All, I just applied the above fix to kill the TPMS alert on my 2011 and it worked. Specifically, I did the following to the 726-02-01 line: Changed 03C0 2424 003B to 0300 2424 003b. I changed only the 3rd digit in the first block from C to 0 (zero). That eliminated the alert AND the...
