Ecoboost Cooling issues Valuable info
Here's a bit of knowledge that you can't learn from reading the owners manual or the label of the bottle of antifreeze.... Important technical info about ANTIFREEZE and why you need water The point of my post is very simply to point out that too much "coolant or antifreeze" vs water it will...- joezek

Ecoboost Cooling issues Valuable info
Because if you follow the drag racing community, you see they all tell you the best coolant there is, is pure water based on the fact that it has the lowest surface tension, which transfers heat the quickest to and from the radiator. Some drag strip even require water only and do not allow...- joezek

Ecoboost Cooling issues Valuable info
HD Packing? I'm not sure what you mean. When I get the SPD 180, I'm expecting it to stay much more consistent near 180. Right now it's all over the place. And with the motorad 170 it just stays around 195-200.- joezek

2014 EL Limited can't find struts
FWIW, if you come across a major parts supplier previously called Cold Air Distributors, now called "The Parts House"- stay far away or at least double check the price on things like struts, brakes etc. I have an account and bought from them for 10 years until now. I replaced my rear struts, and...- joezek

Ecoboost Cooling issues Valuable info
Recently bought a very well dealer maintained 2017 EL King Ranch. Before installing upgraded ECM tunes I needed to make sure the cooling system was right. Well this thing was running about 210-215 all the time (Florida 90's weather). I swapped the factory 190 thermostat with a Motorad 170 and...- joezek

2017 Expedition EL Overheating while towing
Did you ever figure this out>?? Just got my 2017 recently and finding almost the same issue here. From what I keep seeing through multiple threads elsewhere, the common theme has been that as soon as you change to an aftermarket thermostat (non FORD), the overheating problems begin. Even myself...- joezek

Valve body issues
On my 2008, 4WD, 6r75 I believe- The transmission shifts and works great all the time except for a 3 second delay going into Drive. If I'm parked and just go directly to Drive, it works perfectly. If I go into reverse and then Drive there's a 3-5 second delay and then it slams into drive...- joezek

Show your Lifted 3rd Gens
2.5" & 3" "leveling kit" spacers. The tires are 33". The problem with lifting the truck this way is the extreme angle placed on the axles and cv joints. If you look at the axle before and after the lift it's a major difference. On an unlifted truck you can see the difference by looking at the...- joezek

Door keypad problem- very weird
Just bought a used 2017 Expedition EL King Ranch. If the truck is locked, all anyone has to do is touch the keypad and the truck unlocks all the doors immediately. I've disabled auto unlock in the display and using Forscan. I've deleted any door key codes and added my own. The factory one is...- joezek

2009 ford expedition eddie bauer edition pcv valve
Actually, never mind all that I posted previously. The other end of the hose that plugs into the valve cover is the actual pcv valve. I'm not sure if it's integrated into the cover or if it's removable, but I do know that it's working as far as air passes through it in one direction towards the...- joezek

2009 ford expedition eddie bauer edition pcv valve
Not sure if this thread's too old, but before I post a new one....maybe someone here will know the answer. I'm suspecting a problem with that same PCV "valve" on my truck. However when I took it out and look at it, it's just a piece of pipe with a 45 degree angle at one end, there's no "valve"...- joezek

Problems with Throttle by Wire
None of the local parts stores have it in stock, but I found the part number on Rockauto which would have taken a week to get here. I found the same one made by Dorman on Amazon, will be here tomorrow supposedly. Was like $55, part # 699-132. I'll update if it fixes the problem. That would be...- joezek

Problems with Throttle by Wire
It's a 2008 EL XLT. The pedal has multiple wires so maybe the ones showing the output to the scanner are not the same as the output going to the computer/ETC? I'll look for the pedal sensor and replace it, see what happens. I tried to do a throttle calibration but not sure if that did anything...- joezek

Problems with Throttle by Wire
Have this issue where I step on the gas lightly and nothing happens, then at about 1/4 throttle it lunges and takes off. Looking at it on the scan tool, the pedal sensor shows a perfectly smooth transition from 0-100%. The sensor called "R Throttle" whatever that is, shows 8% at idle, will move...- joezek
