    Running hotter than id like

    The fan kicks on at 212 Getting hot us 230- hot hot is 240- cooking stuff is 250. 200-220 is pretty typical towing temps. Only way to see lower towing temps would be a larger air to atf cooler. Non towing you should never see over 210 in worst conditions. If you do? First suspect is the...

    2019 Limited Remote Start Not Working

    When you say battery is ok. What makes you think that? Mine would start fine but the battery was garbage and lots of weird electrical issues would randomly happen. Sunroof would quit, steps would just ignore the door being opened, transmission would shift funny Oh and remote start was MIA...

    Not too happy with 2024 Expedition

    Every auto maker is struggling with faulty parts. The brake issue is well documented and a recall ford put out. Honestly its a crap show across all brands.

    What was Ford thinking by adding back in the tailgate?

    I met a design engineer years ago when I had a Land Cruiser. It also had a tailgate. Guess what? A tailgate on a wagon body style is a structural element in the strength of the rear part of the body. A floating rear hatch over a giant gaping hole is not a structural element!!! Take a box cut...

    Sunroof doesn't close after opened in vent position.

    Try moving it to a different spot the body flexes and can jam up the slide.

    CCD at 82000 miles....

    Springs mine give a tinny chatter on one specific street with unique cracks in the pavement. My Subaru did it also. Friend’s Porsche does it on the same street.

    Temperature gauge behaviour

    Up to 22 they had a faulty thermostat simple part probably 20 Minute fix by a experienced technician. $40 part. Ford updated the part in 2022. My 19 had the same symptoms only I noticed transmission temps running warm when they shouldn’t this was around 65,000 miles. By 75,000 it was worse...

    Our teeth are rattling out of our heads...

    One thing that isn’t possible. Is to have a heavy tow capable 8 passenger vehicle with a soft Sedan ride quality. The two things are not compatible. The F150 comes in about 250 variations most do not have the same capacity of the heavy tow Expedition. Ford went independent rear suspension for...

    Our teeth are rattling out of our heads...

    No details about the tires. Manufacturing date tire brand miles on the vehicle? What other vehicle/s do you drive that have an acceptable ride quality? That would give us an idea of your seat of the pants meter. Non CCD with 22’s? I have a 19 and I don’t think 22’s were on non ccd due to ride...

    Am I just shifting/driving wrong or is the 10r80 that "questionable"?

    The 10spd vs any number of crazy throttle input ie a zillion types of drivers.. The 10spd definitely has more to process and interpret than the 3 spds, 4’s, 5’s and so on. I think we all know drivers that could scramble a single speed transmission Yes the 10 spd seems sensitive to inputs

    Should I buy 4th Gen?

    Modern days like today? 6.2L engines with failed connector pins putting holes in blocks? Estimated 500,000 units by investment firms trying to mitigate GM investment losses? Yeah kinda a problem. Neighbor just got GM to buy his Yukon back after the glitchy transmission quit at 110,000. Full buy...

    60,000km Update - Trans & Water Pump

    There were coolant hose snap in connections that Ford updated at some point the prior fittings were weeping coolant. I’m not sure when they did that. My September 2019 build hasn’t had any coolant loss 80,000 miles so far. It also got the Aluminum oil pan which I was very surprised and happy to...

    2021 MAX Limited rear end stepping out on bumps

    These are trucks add old tires 22 rubber and they will do the truck hop over rough pavement. Definitely old tires and high psi in the tires. The 22’s are not as smooth at 20’s or 18’s. But they do drive nicer at high highway speeds and twisty mountain roads. If you want soft squishy sedan...

    Transmission cooling-can it be improved?

    My 2019 around 65,000 showed early signs of the Tstat issue but at that time I didn’t know about it. 820 miles over three passes in July heat pulling a permitted over sized boat thats around 8700lbs all up. The early signs of the Tstat was slow to cool and not cooling off lower than 210 on the...

    Sun roof rattle, yes again

    With mine the chattering is fine dust getting into the gasket between the glass and other surfaces causing a chattering noise. Seems to happen certain times a yr when we get a fine dust blowing around. I have to wipe the edges down a few times then it stops for a while

    Ecoboost Cooling issues Valuable info

    Aftermarket thermostats are well known across all brands to be very problematic so keep that in mind. They just seem to have a high failure rate. My 2019 had a bad factory thermostat just got the updated new one made a huge difference in both transmission and engine temperature far lower temps...

    P0390 and P0394 codes today, no oil pressure a week ago

    7000 miles on the turboed 3.5 is definitely too long of an oil interval. Rod knock is not good. Poor oil maintenance history will be very obvious with a look into the engine via camera. The absolute one thing you can not do is run these engines on long oil change intervals. My very basic non...

    4th Gear Flare - Cold Trans

    Because dealers are 3rd party companies selling most of their high profit services to customers who have zero idea. They make more $ selling mileage based dealer service packages aka $2000 oil changes. Vs doing warranty repairs at fixed prices. You have 6.5 hours of shop time with Jimmy in bay...

    Do I need a weight distributing hitch for 3,400 pounds?

    Check out the purple trailer mover. Its the only trailer moving setup that works on challenging surfaces or slopes. Its $ but I’ve seen people go from no chances of getting a trailer into their driveway or garage spot to easily getting it put into place. Granted it adds weight to the trailer and...

    4th Gear Flare - Cold Trans

    Yep bad thermostat in the coolant loop. Ford redesigned it due to this issue. The transmission temp is affected via heat exchanger cooling loop. Once you get a functioning thermostat in the coolant system you will see immediate improvement in normal transmission temps. Pulling my 9000lb boat...

    4th Gear Flare - Cold Trans

    The coolant thermostat is faulty my 2019 had the same transmission temperature issue. The updated thermostat fixed it. Updated part in photo. Yes this faulty thermostat affects engine coolant temps also but those only appear at 228+ when it triggers the temperature reading over the dummy gauge...

    Do I need a weight distributing hitch for 3,400 pounds?

    Was going this route. My big reasons? Massively superior towing behavior. Can be stored in a typical garage, also can cross high wind regions with no drama.

    Do I need a weight distributing hitch for 3,400 pounds?

    No wdh or sway needed. A big reason to go with this style trailer. You don’t want wdh! Its a huge pita
