    Biggest tires that fit on stock 2022 Timberline

    Its all about rim offset. I run 305/70/17 very wide tires with zero poke and zero rub.

    2025 Expedition details

    The pillar to pillar screens are ridiculous. I thought the purpose was to Drive not be entertained. We already have distracted drivers. But people love gimmicks like Wifi Enabled Refrigerators and Washing Machines, so I guess this is the next gimmick like 3d tv's to attract new buyers.

    $550 to replace rear brake pads: reasonable?

    Done tons of brakes. Brake flushes are a waste at that mileage UNLESS you did a lot of towing and hard braking. Fluid takes a very long time to break down as the system is sealed unless you overheat the fluid. Also a lot of dealers do not even flush the brakes they just charge you as there is no...

    Parking Sensors Fault After Car Wash

    Water in the connector is most likely the issue. On the Raptor forum they talk about it and then blow the connector out with air. If you live in a dry climate it should clear up soon. Yeah not sure the design or was the car wash pressure extra strong.

    Aluminum Driveshaft

    IMO alum is better than steel, the cost per gain will be minimal in the Expy.

    Aluminum Driveshaft

    I doubt its worth it. Ford is pretty good at choosing the right driveshafts in general. My Ford E350 has an aluminum for some reason. I do not know the what is in the 4th Gen Expys. Aluminum has its issues. There is a recent recall with Ford recalling 250K 250's and some 188k F150 for fracturing...

    trans cooler - replace oem - anyone done this?

    There was a big thread on another forum about the engine should not run cool as the various metals and parts need to interact with each other at the correct temperatures. But with the transmission most say you can run it cooler. But in reality the goal is to keep it at its optimal temperature in...

    Help drive on bumpy roads

    Yes like others said do not set the pressure outside of what is on the door sticker for normal driving. If you have 20"s or 22"s and live where the roads are not that great, going to an 18" will give you a much nicer rider. This is why all the Trophy Trucks and off road vehicles go with 17"s...

    Where to buy OEM parts

    Been working on my Fords and other cars for decades and depending on the part each is different. For items like Skid Plates, Radiators its best to go to the local dealer as to avoid shipping, especially if its a heavy or large item. BUT some local dealers are still more expensive then getting it...

    Where to buy OEM parts

    So when you get the parts it comes from a Rock Auto Address and not drop shipped for Ford? Also not referring to small stock items like thermostats, alternators, etc which everyone stocks. More like items like a Radiator or some larger Motocraft part.

    New Sequoia vs 22+ Expy

    Arrogance may have played into Toyota decision. No doubt they are kings with certain cars and the 4Runner has been a top contender since the dawn of time. But one is for the budget friendly owner who wants to long lasting no nonsense car, and the other is for the pseudo world explorer owners who...

    Help drive on bumpy roads

    I agree tires are probably the #1 change to a smoother ride and running the Ford psi's regardless of the tire. When I got my Toyo Open Country's I set them to what the spec sheet said and what forums said in the +50 range. Ride sucked. Slowly went down and down to settle at 35psi and made a huge...

    Coil-overs

    The only issue with the rear would be cosmetic. As you lift the rear the rear wheel swings forward and it will not be centered when looking from the side. For the fronts its debatable but there is a point where the ball joints will run at a weird angle. If you put kings in the back and front and...

    Coil-overs

    Regardless of the coil over you get I would consider some parts from the rough country lift. The rear link bars to keep the rear centered (IMO this looks bad when not) and a new lower front control arm to maintain correct ball joint angle. If I were every to do mine I would go with some RC...
