    3.5 Eco Turbo coolant line connecter replacement

    Good luck! None of the YouTube videos show the rear connection that I’ve ever found. I just top off the coolant every month or two. Mine is a very slow leak.

    2017 King Ranch Coolant Leak

    I’m impressed with your having changed out the water pump. Removing the mountain of tubes along with reconnecting the part that goes through the engine is impressive. My 2016 has a very sporadic leak at the driver’s side turbo. Slow enough that I can go a month or more without adding coolant...

    3.5 ecoboost failure at 86,000 miles - 2016 expedition tuned

    I can't quite make out what happened in cylinder 4. My opinion would depend on whether the other cylinders also have damage, where the broken pieces went, was the crank bent, valves damaged, cylinder walls have damage? Seems like dropping the oil pan to check for pieces parts would be a good...

    Leak at Turbo’s - first time Ecoboost owner

    Very common turbo coolant leak. Several videos up on YouTube. Hours of fun if DIY. My 2016 with 116K miles has a slow intermittent leak on the drivers side turbo. I add a little coolant every month or two. Just like a toothache-when it gets real bad then I’ll fix it. OP - look at your 1982...

    3.5 ecoboost failure at 86,000 miles - 2016 expedition tuned

    Borrow a compression test gauge to check each cylinder. You can easily disconnect the turbo intake from underneath the engine to isolate the turbos.

    Radiator Cooling Fan Running at High Speed in Cooler Weather?

    You already know to check the coolant level. When it got a little low, turbo airplane fan was kicking on all the time and the Expy wouldn’t warm up the interior of the Expy.

    2017 Trailer brake controller part

    You can use any other brake controller but the Ford goes into the slot on the dash. I went with a Prodigy that I attach with Velcro when towing.

    Is my water pump leaking or oil?

    I don’t see the year but I’m going to assume 3.5 Ecoboost. Look with a black light at each coolant line than runs into each turbo. Very common.

    Unwise to buy a 2017 Exp XLT with 140K?

    I strongly suggest taking a look at each turbo coolant line. You'll need to be under it on the drivers side and passenger side. Common point of failure is where the metal tube goes into the turbo. Mine has such a slow leak that I haven't bothered to fix it. Matter of fact-it has been a...

    Tekonsha Prodigy P3 vs Integrated Controler

    The integrated one fits in the slot in the dash. The Prodigy has to be mounted on something. I used Velcro and attached it to the left of the steering wheel so my left knee reminds me it is there when I get out of the Expy.

    Drop fuel tank using tie downs?

    Last week I had the Expy towed to the mechanic, expecting to pay $350 for him to install the Motorcraft pump, gasket and lock I’d purchased from Rockauto. It started up for him but was very sluggish . Turned out a turbo intake hose had come off. $80 diagnostic fee. Thankfully still within the...

    Drop fuel tank using tie downs?

    @BoolFighta Thank you for your reply. Did you replace the fuel pump with a Motorcraft or something else? I"m leaning towards a Delphi from Rockauto. It is $50 more than the cheapest from 1A Auto and $100 less than Motorcraft. I'm less than impressed with the OEM dying at 110K.

    Drop fuel tank using tie downs?

    2016 4x4 XLT with a dead fuel pump. Crank no start, all fuses are good. It is parked on our drive way which is at a steep angle. Tank is 2/3 full which likely means a 170 lb tank with fuel moving around. I've tried siphoning out the gas with tubing as small as 1/8" but I just can't get it...

    Can't figure out!!! Still Baffled by growl when first moving forward

    I didn't know a limited slip was an option. I have a 2016 Expy 4WD that likes to growl. Hope to sell it and the popup trailer soon and get a Subaru. Hotel/motel stays now vs camping when younger.

    Unknown leaks and smell

    Plenty of YouTube videos out there will walk you through checking the connection under the overflow as well as the dreaded turbo coolant line leak. Buy a black light and crawl under the Expy and shine the light around to find the leaking areas. My 2016 leaks at the driver's side turbo however...

    2016 XLT - No Transmission cooler before road trip in 100* heat

    @Trainmaster I installed a transmission cooler on our Honda Odyssey however the need for a specialized tool kept me from attempting it on the Expy. That and I couldn't find a step by step walk-thru so I had our mechanic do it.

    2016 XLT - No Transmission cooler before road trip in 100* heat

    We have the same year and model. Added the tranny cooler after pulling heavy tent trailer and seeing temps as high as 238. That took place while towing when it was over 100 degrees. Since having the tranny cooler installed - never higher than 212. Usually "205-210".

    Oil filter drain

    I will give it a try. What's the worst that can happen-oil spills.

    Oil filter drain

    I like the concept however it is a struggle to fit my arm up to where the filter is located in order to remove it. Not sure how I'd go about squeezing the wrench or ratchet to loosen the filter while holding the cut oil bottle. I also can't juggle so it could just be me.

    What would you do first with a new (to you) expedition?

    Are you mechanically inclined at all? Plug with new boots, oil change, are pretty straightforward.

    Drivers Side Turbo Failing?

    It has been 5 days since your post - anymore oil leakage? After getting the threads stripped in the oil pan on a previous vehicle-I change the oil myself on the Expy and my Scion. As for a code-not that I know of. You'd likely get a low oil error.

    Oil filter drain

    I have a dedicated 'oil change' shirt and shorts that I use when changing the Expy's oil.
