    Heated steering wheel question

    On my 2018, if you remote start when it's cold (user manual probably says how cold), the heated steering wheel and heated seats are turned on. There might be a way to change what turns on automatically in this situation but I can't remember if I've ever changed it.

    Tire pressure parameters

    When I switched from P to LT tires, I found this chart (Michelin LTX A/T2 - same size as the original P tires): This shows what the minimum pressure needs to be for a given load (and vice versa). So to carry my GVWR/payload, I have to bump up the pressure to 44 psi (being a bit conservative -...

    Concern about expedition 2018

    I have a 2018 with 150,000 km (93,000 mi) and have had only 1 major repair - Ford tech said grinding from front diff, rebuilt under warranty. I suspect warranty fraud but can't prove it - never went back there. Maintenance is as expected, 2nd set of tires, brakes twice. Minor repairs such as...

    Drive control malfunction

    Sounds like a battery issue - either battery is dying, or the connections aren't 100%.

    loud tinkling rattle from engine at idle

    I would have suggested this is the turbo wastegate rattle - search for it, there's a few videos on putting a small spring on it to eliminate the rattle. Not sure it's worth it unless you're really annoyed by the sound.

    trailer hitch power

    There's a thread on this somewhere (or it was mentioned in a thread) - in short, the alternator is "smart" and only puts out charging voltage when it needs to - often times it is not charging at all because it thinks the truck battery doesn't need it. When I talked to a guy at the RV store...

    3rd gen vs. 4th gen towing

    When I went from my 2006/5.4L V8 to the 2018/3.5L EcoBoost it was a night and day improvement! Way more torque in the new engine, at lower rpms, and the 10-speed keeps you in the sweet spot way more often. I'm towing 7200lbs loaded in Western Canada. You should definitely look at a new one.

    Ford Pass App - New Version

    Sorry I should have specified it's the IOS version that upgraded to v5.0.1. I do agree that this new version isn't an improvement from the previous one (which was admittedly a limited app already).

    Ford Pass App - New Version

    This issue (“Temporarily Unavailable “) is resolved with todays FordPass 5.0.1 update.

    Ford Pass App - New Version

    Is it possible that the vehicle health information is now dependent on having paid internet connectivity from the vehicle (I think it's called FordPass Connect)? I tried playing with some connectivity stuff yesterday - first I used a USB key to upgrade SYNC (apparently even though I connect it...

    Ford Pass App - New Version

    I re-installed the app - no change. I guess I might as well delete it as I never use the features that still work (lock/unlock, remote start, distance to empty).

    Ford Pass App - New Version

    This is what I see on the Service page: I can lock/unlock the vehicle, and I remote started it and stopped it. No change. I guess I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the app...

    Ford Pass App - New Version

    I switched to the new app yesterday - I went in to check the odometer, and it's not available! Under Vehicle Health it just says "Temporarily Unavailable". Can't click on it. Did anyone else see that? Do I need to re-pair with my Expy or something?

    Load Range E tire pressure

    Even though it's a harsher ride, I keep mine at 44psi because if my truck is fully loaded that's the load that each tire needs to be able to handle. I'm rarely at full payload but figure it's safer this way. Try and find your tire chart from Michelin (I found my AT2 LTX chart on their...
