    Battery Issues?

    Batteries that sit and end up low on charge can be damaged and have a very short life especially in extreme temperatures cold or hot or both.

    Ordered an air intake!

    Are you tuning it and putting high flow fuel pump and injectors in? The stock intake in modern cars typically have flow rates higher than the stock fuel system can support with tune modifications

    cold transmission issues

    Also why a colder running thermostat might not be ideal. Let it warm up some before using it. Heck even my old manual transmission car would need to run a bit before it shifted decently in those temperatures

    2020 Expy Overheating at Highway speeds.

    Running it hard 80+ mph which id in that 2000+rpm range seems to heat up the standard exhaust. The HO version got bigger less restrictive exhaust. I would be curious if the exhaust manifolds were different also. But the exhaust heat thing has been a common thing for many different engines and...

    Dealer trying to scam me?

    The consumer protection agency has been gutted. Denied Warranty work is just the tip of the iceberg. Its going to get far worse.

    2020 Expy Overheating at Highway speeds.

    Exhaust flow and turbo play a role in heat buildup. Extended rpm over 2000 definitely gets the heat going. Thermostat will only lower temps on normal load driving. It doesn’t change heat sources and cooling capacity. Unfortunately

    2020 Expy Overheating at Highway speeds.

    My 219 does the same. Couple of things 228 and up is not over heating its simply the trigger where dash gives you details. Transmission does the same 225 ish triggers the same display details. The new lower temp thermostat is one way to reduce the number of times you might see this temp detail...

    Rear locking differential only on Tremor?

    It does come on other trims in heavy tow pack form. I think the issue is with marketing the Tremor (4x4 people marketing package simply calls it out) As for its usefulness. Only time I’ve been stuck in all my 4x4 wagons was when they lacked rear locker. The bigger the wagon the more important...

    Ford Dealer Service departments compared to other brands

    ALL dealers pick a brand. Are third party businesses with contracts to the Auto company. Your question is like asking why there are so many color choices for vehicles. The only thing ALL dealers have in common is they avoid warranty work because its a fixed time, and rate pay thats nothing...

    XLT Max vs Limited Max - confused at options?

    Platinum’s sold for less than that in 2019 new zero miles. The xlt’s snd limiteds were sold out because the msrp was more digestible. Every dealer had platinums piled up on their lot with zero buyers. They wanted 78 for a loaded heavy tow limited. I paid 75 for my loaded Platinum. If your paying...

    19.3 MPG on 2023 Max Limited, Will Additives Help?

    My Sequoia got 8-10mpg in town and 15-18 highway with 1/2 the horses, gears and towing capacity. The Expedition replaced that rig then my daily 2 cars. My subaru did 18–19 in town and 23-26 on the highway. At 75,000 miles my heavy tow Ex typically does 16-18 in town and most road trips 20-22mpg...

    19.3 MPG on 2023 Max Limited, Will Additives Help?

    I wouldn’t put any additives into a complex and expensive fuel system. Not to mention it won’t do anything. 19mpg sounds about right but conditions, temperatures, speed, idling time all play a role. Of which you haven’t really given any info on those factors.

    303a but with 304a hp/tq added??

    Same with my 19 plat 400hp. We do sea level to 7400 often there’s definitely enough difference between fuels to notice if you have enough miles on each one to see the difference. The H.O has got to be even more noticeable

    303a but with 304a hp/tq added??

    I ran regular in my standard 2019 400hp platinum for quite a while then switched to 91. Mileage increase and performance improvement is noticeable if you drive both fuels enough. I just do premium fuel now the cost difference isn’t much but the bump in range and performance is worth it. I’m...

    Question about 2019 Ford Expedition tail lights upgrade

    My only caution is the voltage difference may involve some sort of voltage setting some place up front. Given these rigs are pretty advanced based on voltage monitoring. My 19 platinum warned me about a turn signal fault on my LED boat trailer. Only way it could trip a notification is sensing a...

    Dealerships are different

    Bay Area CA shops rate at top private shops are around $180hr. “ALL” the Auto group owned dealer store fronts pitch standard job costs around $450-$600 hr shop rate when you look up the book time. Independent dealers all typically land in the $180-$200 hr range. I quit Toyota and Subaru given...

    Dealerships are different

    All warranty work is a profit loss for 3rd party businesses ie dealers. They honestly do not want any warranty work period!! All warranty work is done at fixed auto maker rates well under market shop rates. Especially!!!! If the dealer is selling 80% of their oil changes at $450+ per hour fake...
