    Integrated front wheel hub 4wd grinding $20 upgrade. “Save your front wheel hubs easily”

    I had just gotten back from a road trip when I saw this post. My car had been noisier than usual. Up to the present, I had two dealers who were unwilling or unable to eliminate the noise. I thought for the price, I would give it a try. Two tanks of gas (around 800 miles) and no noise. Many...

    Noise at higher speeds under constant engine load

    We have the identical vehicle. First, to be sure it is the IWE on the front axle, as you drive, position your hand above the 4WD button. When the noise presents, don't change speed or driving condition, just press the 4WD button. If the noise disappears, it is the IWEs. My contact at Ford says...

    Anyone tow 8,000 lbs. with their 2021 Expedition FX4 with max towing?

    I made a number of trips to Florida with our 30 footer with a weight of 7300#, so with all the junk, I'm sure it was over 8#. I just set the cruise for about 65 to 70 and enjoyed the trip. Ours is a 2018 4WD and 3:70 gears. Still had a pretty good ride! Lots of academic answers, I con only speak...

    Can I tow this?

    There are some things you can do if you are set on this model. Don't EVER tow with the water tank or waste tanks with contents. Keep your guests in another vehicle, keep your material to a minimum. don't relax on these rules. You will find that this length is OK, but I agree with another post...

    DOT experts, 9990 GVWR utility/car hauler trailer behind expedition

    I have owned trailers with both the 7K and 10K axle ratings. You will never regret getting the 10K trailer, but if you are sitting by the roadside in the middle of nowhere with a burned out axle, you will regret the 7K.

    2019 Max overheating when towing

    We have a 2018 w/HD tow package, 3.70 gears and live in Georgia. We tow a 30 footer 7-8000 lbs. Only use regular gas now since I could see very little difference. Never got hot on 85-90 degree days at 70 mph or better. I just use the tow mode and set the cruise. It should not get hot! If you...

    Dual Zone Temperature Problems

    The blend door that controls the driver side blend is the one on the bottom. I have a 2010 and there are four blend doors. If you find an expanded view parts list, you can see each. The top, left and right (where they are located, not what they control) are difficult to access. As nearly as I...

    Check Fuel Filler Inlet

    I had the error for Check Fuel Filler Inlet on My 2010 Expedition and it would not reset after a few tanks. On inspection, it looked like the flexible seal had compressed slightly and may have sealed poorly. I used a razor blade and removed about 1/16" on each of the two bumpers that limit...

    2010 Possible Issues?

    I have a 2010 Eddie Bauer purchased new. 75K is great for a 2010. If the brakes haven't been looked after, it will probably need pads. I did pads at 60K and pads and rotors at 120K. About 100K I got the engine sensor light. Borrowed a code reader and it was a hot air sensor in the exhaust...
