    Is my mpg reasonable?

    Just filled up today. I got 18.7 in combined driving. 87 octane lowers the power so I always run 93 except for the coldest winter days where I will use 89. I do watch the tire pressures, although I typically don’t see any loss, sometimes seasonally they need topping. I’m not at all easy on the...

    Ford oil change mileage.

    What there is no need for is you looking to pick apart post after post. You also do not pay attention, as you completely missed that wasn’t my comment. I have to point that out since you “know better” on all sorts of stuff on this board, which I take in stride all the time on here despite the...

    Ford oil change mileage.

    If you’d pay attention, it’s not my opinion. In fact, I didn’t know that until I saw it from a professional lab operator that specializes in…wait for it…oil analysis. That’s actually a copy of their website, nothing that I said at all. You do tend to have these prickly takes for the sake of...

    Ford oil change mileage.

    Follow up- I went to look at who to use, I used to use blackstone, but have watched some lake speed jr stuff in last few years. I had no idea his site said this- At SPEEDiagnostix, we analyze thousands of oil samples each year—and here's what we’ve found: Over 90% of oil samples show the oil...

    Ford oil change mileage.

    As I’ve often posted on here, top tier fuel is worth it. What you missed is to go with the ones with friction modifier as well, only three choices for that. I’ll let you google it so you won’t feel like it’s hearsay. You’re welcome. Problem is, I’ve also posted about how often the oil...

    '24 ~1500mi review vs my '19

    It’s an oil separator for the pcv line.

    Not too happy with 2024 Expedition

    You might ask about a reflash for the pcm. My trans is so much better after the update. The tsb says 18-21 models, but maybe there is one to try in a 24 too.

    Not too happy with 2024 Expedition

    That sounds like a lemon to me. My 19 has been a good Tuesday built unit and the tsb work has corrected the issues I had. KTP does have door alignment issues, so not surprising the tailgate wasn’t on right. I had a rear door that didn’t close the last 1/8” off the hauler and the local dealer...

    Taking my 2019 in for Seatbelt and PCM Emissions Recalls

    I’m shocked to hear about the wait to get a reflash. Wow. A day? Mine was done with the oil leak at valve cover gasket.

    5 to 3 harsh downshift only after warmed up is fixed after dealer replacing the valve body

    We need a sticky with short and simple posts of good service dealers.

    Cost to do trans filter service?

    Thanks, it doesn’t sound that bad, but I simply don’t think I can mange the time to do this. I’m talking myself out of having anybody do it at all since a grand is nuts and I can see them not doing the hot check like you say. I never have been able to get them to do a fluid check when doing all...

    Cost to do trans filter service?

    I’ve mentioned this and they kinda laugh about it. One ****** even tried to sell me a zinc oil additive, you know, the stuff they took out of the oil to save the cats. Yeah, you can keep that shit buddy. I do think with the towing and overheated condition it ran in for 30k miles is reason...

    Cost to do trans filter service?

    Did you have to take out the cooler or crossmember or anything? How did you refill it? Special tool?

    CCD at 82000 miles....

    As I said, it’s only over bumps. Truck sounds fine sitting still.

    Cost to do trans filter service?

    I’ve considered these trans have hard part failures like mad and this really wouldn’t make a difference. I do think the hot running stat they corrected has baked it and it might benefit. But a grand is kinda crazy I think.

    Cost to do trans filter service?

    No, they push it at 50-60k. Sounds like it isn’t much more than doing a flush if 680 is the price.

    CCD at 82000 miles....

    That’s what I was saying, nothing can be found loose and it’s from upfront, I pinpoint it at driver side. It’s a dull subtle rattle.

    Cost to do trans filter service?

    so far two dealers have insisted they never do this. One said it’s at least a 5 hour job and padded it by saying to expect worst case at 7 hours.??? At 175 per hour. I did ask off the cuff a few years ago just curious and had been told 6-700 back then. Another one said they didn’t know and had...

    CCD at 82000 miles....

    I picked up a rattle type sound last fall, had like 40k miles then. I keep telling the dealer about it, they can’t seem to figure it out. One guess was sway bar bushings, no dice. It’s at low speeds, say in my neighborhood and I hit a tiny bump and can hear and sometimes feel something that...

    New owner with questions

    Interesting, I drove mine with the tow psi some after dropping the trailer and all I felt were harder bumps. Only way I’ve experienced tighter suspension ride feel is in sport or tow mode.

    That won’t change the floaty ride. It will just make you feel the bumps harder. It might handle better, but still will have the floaty feel. I understand the concern with how the body feels detached from the frame. I came to like that feel rather quickly though.

    New owner with questions

    The CCD has a floaty, old Buick type ride. The sway bar has been done with some success, so it would seem you are set there. Ride is firmer in sport mode, but trans does weird behavior so I can’t take that. I actually got used to the floatiness the first week. Like it now. If ford would simply...

    Brushless Cooling Fan Update for 2020 Expedition MAX Limited?

    Don’t chase your tail on this, if you don’t have the new style stat, dont waste any time on anything else. My truck ran hot from day one and I thought that was normal, until the gauge started showing it was going crazy. New stat, way cooler.

    Radiator Fan Conundrum

    GM uses bigger engines with multi displacement and that might solve emissions for them. It also causes all sorts of issues and somebody in my family has a truck that needs all sorts of money thrown at it or simply replaced with a new truck because of that. Ford thankfully uses the small engine...
