    Chewed through 3 Turbos in less than a month

    Fordtechmakuloco mentioned some oil feed screens in this video, around the 3:40 mark: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eHPSgqipk-E&pp=ygUeVHVyYm8gb2lsIHNjcmVlbiAzLjVsIGVjb2Jvb3N0 A lot of guys don’t know these are in the block and won’t change them.

    2015 XL/SSV Jump Seat Console Install

    This is how it turned out. It’s not the greatest fit and finish but it does the job.

    Do I have an engine timing problem?

    Yeah pre-ignition is often due to low octane gas. Try switching to a higher octane or adding an octane booster. The fact that it append when lugging is indicative of pre-ignition to me.

    Tuning Differences Between Expedition & F150

    Hi everyone! I have an idle question that's been on my mind for a while. If this is the wrong section for this, please let me know and move it to where it belongs. I have a 2016 Expedition EL SSV with a 3.73 axle, and a 2015 F150 CC/LB XLT with a 3.55 axle. The F150 always feels snappier off...

    2015 XL/SSV Jump Seat Console Install

    I did this in my 2016 EL SSV. I installed a tan cloth one from what I think was a 2012 or 2013 F150 in a self-service salvage yard. But don't quote me on the year. I took the mounting bolts along with. Some were only accessible after pulling the seat cushion up and off. The tan color was not...

    Can you identify the whine?

    See if it changes when you rock the wheel back and forth stopped and idling. If it does, then it’s likely PS pump or something in that system. You can also look for bubbles/aeration in the reservoir. x2 on taking the belt off. That will eliminate a lot of the front end rotating parts. You’ll...

    2017 Misaligned Body on Frame from Factory

    If you do go the route of loosening the body bolts, heat them like crazy first with a torch or induction heater. Then loosen them with a breaker bar and ratchet. DO NOT use in impact tool! I lifted the body on mine to replace my engine. I ended up needing to cut access points in to get at to...

    Changing out 3.31 to 3.73

    Tow ratings on these are mostly limited by payload capacity. The 3.5 has tons of power. My ‘16 Expedition has a 3.73 LS axle. My ‘15 F150 with the same engine has a 3.55 axle and I can’t really tell a difference in towing power between the two. However, the F150’s solid rear axle makes for...

    Strange misfire

    Yeah the OE parts have slipped a lot in quality. These motors are really picky about their ignition components.

    Open or limited slip?

    I think all the EL ones had LS 3.73 diffs. At least in more recent years. Google your axle code on the door jamb tag and you should know pretty quick.

    Sorry, just saw the OP's post was from January. Didn't mean to necropost. :)

    Anyone experience strong plastic burning smell when use the heater?

    Don't know about the 4th Gen, but I just got a recall letter from Ford for my 3rd Gen 2016. I guess there's a defect for the front blower motor, to where it can catch fire. They said to shut off the HVAC system if you smell or see smoke. Yikes. Might be worth Googling if the recall covers the...
