    Winch bumper for 2017 EL Limited

    I’m retired with plenty of time & patience. If you have any install pics that no doubt would save me time on recreating the wheel. What winch did you end up with? I’ve used Smittybilt in the past with good results..

    Winch bumper for 2017 EL Limited

    I like it! Did you do the install? If so, did you have to relocate the turbo cooler (and where)?

    2017 front winch mount…

    I know this is an old thread but all of a sudden I got the itch to install a hidden winch in my '17 Expy EL Limited. I put one on my 2019 4Runner and loved it. You did a great job on yours but I'm of a mind to pull off the front end to see if there is any way to fab a hidden mount where I could...

    Winch bumper for 2017 EL Limited

    I may have posted this thread a couple of years ago but no response as I recall. My previous vehicle (a '19 4Runner TRD) had numerous options for adding a winch bumper - which I did, but for the Expedition there does not seem to be any options, at least affordable ones under $1K. Anyone out...

    Electrical issue

    Batteries are capable raising havoc in your electrical systems even when the battery may indicate 12+ volts. As the other person stated (and you did) always load test the battery if in any doubt at all. Glad you got it resolved.

    2017 Front AC Evaporator Replacement - Full Dash Removal?

    Another interesting tidbit, the '17, for whatever reason, does not have a cabin air filter. So Ford is revising their thinking now wanting us, at our expense, to purchased a new modified evap unit that includes a cabin air filter? Something now right about this. Makes me think that is was a...

    2010 Front AC Not Cold, Rear Cold

    Well my first guess would be a problem with the blend air door - but you've already addressed that. My second guess would be a stuck expansion valve but seems like you're mechanic could determine that by irregular pressure readings?

    2017 Front AC Evaporator Replacement - Full Dash Removal?

    That’s going to be an interesting project for you. I did many evap replacements (and/or heater cores) back in the day working as a Ford tech. Just do your research on YouTube to get as many r&r tips as you can, then drink a tall glass of patience and go to it.

    ACTUATOR/BLEND DOOR LESSONS LEARNED FRONT AND REAR

    FordMafia I got to say you got *****! I spent 25+ years as a Ford tech so I have an idea of what you went through - most folks probably would not tread there. My feeling is you can do anything on any vehicle if you have the patience to learn and, thanks to many Youtube providers, the knowledge...
