    Ford quietly redesigned the thermostat in 2022...replace it

    I think, F150 Raptor is the only outlier with air tranny oil cooler within Ford 150 series production line, including expedition. The trans cooler above is a heat exchanger, in which coolant flows and exchanges heat with transmission oil.

    The root of the problem is Ford doesn't adopt independent air cooler to cool down transmission oil. Expedition's transmission oil temp is bonded with engine coolant temp.

    Ford quietly redesigned the thermostat in 2022...replace it

    Would you please let me know what are the transmission temps during cruising, idling and towing? My vehicle has HD two pkg too, and its tranny temps fluctuate from 190F to 200F when cruising, 195F to 205F when idling, and 195F to 215F when towing my 4300 lbs trailer.

    It sounds like RT1258, which opens at 180F

    Expedition Going into Deep Sleep - Battery Low

    Once I parked my vehicle in airport parking for 9 days. I didn't notice any difference when I was back.

    Order XLT vs Limited 7k Help

    My motto is, "when in doubt, downgrade, don't pay for features you never or rarely use". lol, just kidding.

    Order XLT vs Limited 7k Help

    There are only two things I hope I could have with my XLT, rain sensing wipers and 6 extra speakers. Front parking sensors are nice but I don't need them personally. If it were me, I would order a limited with 301A package. 22 in. wheels, moonroof and power deployable running board are nothing...

    We got our new 2024 Ford Expedition Platinum!

    Personally, I prefer the horizontal screen on Navigation much more than the vertical screen of Sync 4A

    2022 Expedition ABS shudder when moderately stopping

    Then perhaps it's the time to install new sensor(s), or check the wires?

    CarPlay and iPhone 12 Pro Max

    I have the same situation intermittently. Carplay is disconnected when I get out of the vehicle and leave the engine running. Most of the time it works very well to reconnect after I get back into the vehicle. But sometimes, like 1 out 5 or may be less, it doesn't. I assume it's a software...

    I did two things to seriously mitigate the delayed shift from gear 4 to 3

    Check it only if weird things happen. My lower connector was not tightly locked. I do not remember if I heard the click sound back to my first installation in last December. I did hear the click sound this time in last week, though. By the way, the eliminator is inside the cabin close to...
