    4x4 always engaged?

    My understanding is that should not be happening. If your IWE system is functioning properly…with the engine on…vacuum being delivered…your IWEs should be unlocked and the shafts shouldn’t be spinning.

    2018 IWE 4WD hub issue

    Noticed some humming coming from the front end. Checked the wheel bearings and the usual culprits which were all normal. This lead me to check out the IWE system. I checked both front IWEs with my suction pump and both hold pressure and disengage appropriately. So those seem good. Next I...

    Odd rattle coming from roof

    Ive noticed an annoying rattle coming from the passenger side roof area. My best guess is that it is coming from the roof rack runners. Ive had to take my crossbars off in order to fit in certain parking garages. Maybe removing the crossbars is now causing the runners to rattle somehow? Is...

    Field service 21N03

    I had my computer flashed yesterday. 2018 with 50k miles on it. I still get the rattle on start up. My dealer said they will now replace the cam phasers under the field service report. Question though....is the rattle coming from the actual cam phasers or the timing chain? Certainly sounds...

    Power running board maintenance

    I have my trucks undercarriage sprayed with fluid Film every year. And have them hit up the running board hinges. Going on 3 years and no issues at all.

    Another Cam phaser question...

    That’s what they told me as well. Letters being sent out end of sept. So we should all get something from Ford directly.

    4th Gen Brakes Q&A

    Finished my install yesterday. The rear caliper brackets don’t need removed to replace the rotors which was nice. These ceramic pads don’t feel as grippy as the OEM pads. But I haven’t worn them in yet. Time will tell. Overall an easy install. Just remember to put the truck in Brake...

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    What about rear ended squat? I’m having my shocks done soon. Going with factory ride height. But I’m curious if these Bilsteins will change the hitch drop I need when towing. My boat is 8500#s

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    Does installing these Bilstein 5100 Expedition shocks alter the max towing capabilities on Expys with the heavy duty towing package?

    4th Gen Brakes Q&A

    I’m doing front and rear rotors and pads on Friday on my 2017. Rear pads are toast at 47k. Fronts about 50% but got scoring on the inner rotor walls. I went with Advanced Auto Platinum rotors and ceramic pads.

    Field service 21N03

    21N08 says if you have the 21B10 reprogram...and you develop engine shudder or transmission shifting issues Ford will revert the PCM reprogram back to "original settings" at no charge to the customer. Only then will my ford dealer replace the cam phasers.

    Drive Modes vs CCD Suspension

    gotcha. These Bilstein shocks arent compatible with CCD. Just making sure that my vehicle doesnt have it. And now I have a better understanding of what my drive modes do.

    Another Cam phaser question...

    FWIW I was at my dealer today regarding 21-2119 TSB. Asking to my have my cam phasers replaced. I was told that a new update was released yesterday Sept 13, 2021 regarding the cam phasers. Ford is now reverting back to having the PCM reprogrammed. If any transmission issues arise after the...

    Drive Modes vs CCD Suspension

    Im a little confused regarding these two systems on my 2018 Expy Max Limited. I have the 301A trim package. Im in the process of replacing all the garbage factory struts at 47k. I was about to order some Bilstein 5100s when I noticed those shocks dont work on vehicles equipped with CCD. I...
