    Small coolant leak….

    Hi all, I’ve attached a pic of a small coolant leak discovered using UV dye on my 2018 Expy. It’s been pretty intermittent with an about a 1/3 cup found under the truck one day a couple of weeks ago and then nothing since. My OCD so t let it go‍♂️. I had a tranny overheat issue in April...

    Hey expecrap, Did you ever figure out what was leaking. I too have an intermittent puddle that shows up at the front of the vehicle.

    2018 Expedition Transmission overfilled by Dealer and resulting issues

    Follow up: Dealership stood behind their service and agreed to pay everything except the refund on the initial transmission service cost of $675 stating that they are honoring the warranty, express and implied. I actually agreed with that explanation. Everything else though tow, lost salary...

    Trans dipstick screw in

    I’ve been down this road and there is nothing out there to make it possible to check the transmission fluid level easily. After just having the dealership overfill my tranny by a lot which resulted in overheat and fluid hemorrhaging from the relief vent I can testify there are no warning...

    Engine Temp gauge has large temperature swings in seconds between 205 and 226 degrees

    Not serviced directly... The transmission overheated due to being overfilled which cause an engine temp spike. I wonder if the coolant boiled and produced air pockets….I will try to bleed any air out this evening. Still open to any other ideas. Thanks

    2018 Expedition XLT Max. I just recovered from a tranmission overfill / overheat issue thanks to negligent dealer service. Now the electronic engine temp gauge in the cluster swings from 226 degrees on the high end to 205 degrees, spiking lower sometimes to 198 degrees on the low end within...

    2018 Expedition Transmission overfilled by Dealer and resulting issues

    2018 Expedition Transmission overfilled by Dealer and resulting issues

    In March 13, 2023 I took my 2018 Expedition XLT Max to the dealership for transmission filter and fluid change at 45633 miles. Early I know but I don't have confidence in lifetime fluids and I want to keep this truck in my life for many years. I noticed 4 drops of tranny fluid on the garage...

    2019 less than 11000 miles and 3 out of 4 shocks leaking?

    The only differences between the year models as of now is mostly cosmetic upgrades. Body and equipment issues from 2018 on seem to be universal.

    Engine Oil Life Reset Function Missing

    I just wanted to follow up and let everyone know that CS at ForScan assisted me within 24hrs to locate the right setting and enable the “Oil Life Reset” function in my IPC. Very responsive and helpful. ForScan is the bomb for setting your vehicle up the way you want it and enable the functions...

    Engine Oil Life Reset Function Missing

    I have a 2018 Expedition and just changed the oil and the Oil Life Reset button is missing. Can’t find it any any sub menus engine on or in accessories. The last thing I did was add global window open/shut from the key fob with ForScan and I’m wondering if the menu icon was replaced with the...

    3.5L EcoBoost Engine Lube

    I use Mobil 1, change it as I approach 5k miles usually at about 4500 miles. 2018 XLT, no cold start up issues..... yet, less than 19000 miles and will do my fourth oil change this week. I don’t think the type of oil is the problem, it’s the gunked up passage ways, stopping or delaying...
