    **UPDATED WITH SOLUTION** Trailer Connectivity Issue

    Ever since I squirted a bit of Ox-gard into the trailer connection I’ve not had issues with the turn signals working intermittently. I would suggest that you slide under the back of the Expy and check the harness running to the brake controller under the dash. Depending on which part of the...

    Help Identifying these coolant part(s) on 2017 Ford Expedition XLT 3.5L V6 with EcoBoost

    Very common point of failure are the coolant lines going into the turbos. If you are lucky and only have a problem at the T connector then I’d suggest using Tasca online for Ford/Motorcraft parts. Hop on YouTube and you’ll find a video on replacing the expansion tank and many videos on...

    2017 Expedition EL Overheating while towing

    @skamerick I've looked but I don't see where you've listed the mileage of the Expy? The reason I ask, is the same as another poster, water pumps die on most cars around 100K. It was either on this forum or on Fordtechmakuloco (YouTube) where a picture of the original water pump's plastic fins...

    2016 with SiriusXM acquiring signal issues

    My 2016 VIN didn’t fall within their recall range. I ordered the part from Tasca for $42.90 tax and shipping. Pretty easy installation but you do need a 5.5 mm socket to take off a few things.

    Weight distribution hitches

    I also have an Equalizer WDH - using it for about 5 1/2 years. Easy to self-install and very solid down the highway. Initially I bought the Reese setup however parts were missing and the threads for the bolt holes were messed up (a common complaint). The only thing you'll need to do is spray...

    Help! 2017 plug change

    My 2016 has about 93,000 and I was thinking of replacing the plugs. Y’all are not really selling it to me. Replacing the GPS antenna was easier than replacing the oil filter. Maintenance items are kinda of a pain in the Expy.

    GPS Antenna Install

    I finally ordered the GPS antenna from Tasco and it arrived today so I installed it. Took a 5.5 mm, small torx bit and a 10 mm socket but it’s done! Installation would have gone easier if I had pulled the ceiling free of the passenger door lip in the beginning. Once I did that then I was able...

    Trip With Trailer

    I installed the Equal-i-zer WD hitch myself. Very simple to install. I like that it has built in anti-sway protection. Available on Amazon.

    Lazy man’s oil change…

    Yes. The felt skid plate has to be removed, front plastic cover has to be partially removed and then you have to reach up in between assorted bars. Even though I've been changing the oil and filter (every 5,000 or whenever the computer tells me) myself for the last 4 years, removing and...

    Turbo Coolant lines OE or aftermarket?

    I bought dye from Amazon along with a black light. This led me to the all too common turbo coolant line fitting leak on the driver's side turbo. Gates sells steel replacement tubes that they claim were engineered to address problems with OE. While I can't envision holding onto the Expedition...

    Tow package question

    Pop the hood and look to see if you have one of these. Our 2016 XLT had the 4 pin and didn’t have the auxiliary transmission cooler. I replaced the 4 pin with a 7/4 combination and ran a line to provide power to the trailer. I paid to have the transmission cooler installed because I couldn’t...

    Blower speed control-only blowing at one speed

    I had problems with the blower switch and I read of all the problems experienced by Expy owners who chose to go with aftermarket parts. Consistently failing months later so I paid full price at my local Ford dealer and I think it has been 3 years now without an issue. If you get tired of...

    Slight Rough Idle

    I would suggest cleaning out the throttle body (TB) and the MAF, as recommended by the other poster. One year after buying our 2016 used, I could no longer get it to creep along and it idled slightly rough. Dealer quoted $400 to clean it. I bought two cans of TB cleaner and one can of MAF...

    Can't open air box [SOLVED]

    I sent you a private message with my email address. If you have an iPhone, email me the number and I’ll show you how it comes apart. No iPhone…can’t help you:) https://youtu.be/XewD4FoJ8e8 Video showing the removal of the clamp.

    Oil change requires remove skid plate?

    I’ve done all the oil changes myself on our 2016. As you stated, 8 mm to drop the carpet protector and 90 degree rotation on the plastic grommets to provide a path to snake your arm up to blindly reach the stupidly horizontally mounted oil filter. The Harborfreight oil filter caps that slide...

    Can't open air box [SOLVED]

    I have a 2016 and I generally replace the air filter when I change the oil. They say to disconnect the clamp holding the air box to the intake but I’m too lazy. I undo the 3 clamps on the passenger side and then lift up the cover on the passenger side so it’s at an angle. I push The side with...

    Coolant low by > 1 gallon

    I watched a YouTube video and it was quite the jigsaw puzzle to get to it. It was taken apart to replace the thermostat and the tech said it’s best to replace the water pump at the same time since everything is out of the way.

    Power Stop Z23 Brakes Opinions

    I really like how they feel and look. Installation was simple after borrowing a 4lb sledge to knock off the old rotors.

    Coolant low by > 1 gallon

    I haven’t looked for the leak yet. I changed the oil today and I checked the coolant level and needed another 1/2 gallon. I will first check the areas mentioned by the other posters before taking it to my mechanic.

    Coolant low by > 1 gallon

    Good afternoon, A couple weeks ago I posted about the loud fan running near 100% of the time and the interior fan not working. I suspected the thermostat but (over the phone) my mechanic said to check the coolant level and if it was low then it becomes a matter of finding the leak. Got back...
