    Oil change where is the bolt to drain?

    bery irritating. Only found one video of a guy with a 2016 EL. His video is dark when showing the bolt. Lame I have the Expedition on jacks resdy to go but I can’t tell which bleeping bolt I’m supposed to loosen. Then my phone does this stupid burst mode so I end up with 10 photos. So much...

    Transmission Cooler Upgrade

    I was too chicken to figure out how to insert a pin so I used a Posi-Tap connector to tap into the orange wire. Search posi tap on Amazon. I used a 10 gauge wire which I then wrapped in the black plastic casing. Inserting it into the casing was a tad hard on my “office boy” fingers. Let me...

    Transmission Cooler Upgrade

    If you search my posts, including the one about two weeks ago, you’ll see my steps on adding power and a 3rd party brake controller. The B&M cooler - does it fit in the same exact spot as the Ford cooler? I’d have attempted adding a cooler but the Ford tubes take some special release tool...

    Help adding 7 pin to ‘17 XLT 4x4

    If you have an iPhone I could FT with you and show you where everything is located Friday night. I’d just need to swap cars with the wife. PM me tonight if needed.

    Help adding 7 pin to ‘17 XLT 4x4

    1. You need the pigtail to connect your brake controller to the plug that's behind the dash, to the right of the steering wheel 2: Go to Walmart and buy the combination 7 pin / 4 pin so you have both without needing an adapter 3. If you want 12 V to the trailer then you’ll need to run a wire...

    Power for 7-pin

    See https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/4-prong-to-7-prong.32359/page-3#post-267183 Do you have the 4 pin flat or the 7 pin round? The orange wire I tapped is specifically to power a trailer. Take a look in the owners manual and it’ll provide you with the fuse location.

    Throttle Body how to clean-best to remove?

    I cleaned the MAF sensors next to the air filter and next to the throttle body. Pulling the intake tube off the throttle body was pretty simple. At some point I’ll Google how to get the plastic engine cover off and get to the 3rd MAF sensor. Had a brief scare when the dash display...

    Throttle Body how to clean-best to remove?

    I’ll try pulling the plastics off the TB and spraying it on the car. The MAF sensors look easy. Hopefully this’ll take care of the idle fluctuations. Santa Margarita Ford in Orange County CA is the place that quoted me $495. I forgot to mention that did include an air filter. Replacing the...

    Throttle Body how to clean-best to remove?

    i have a 2016 Expy with the 3.5 Ecoboost. Idle began moving around a few months ago and it doesn’t always let me crawl along when backing up like it did a year ago. Dealer said throttle body and MAF cleaning for $495. I said I’ll do it. Problem is that I’ve yet to find a video with my...

    2015, Upgrade to Heavy Duty Towing

    @Bigfishfin i have a 2016 XLT in which I added the 7 pin, Prodigy and ran a wire back to provide power. I'm very interested in the part numbers and steps it took for you to add the extra tyranny cooler. What types of hose clamps, screws to mount it, etc. Pulling a 3,500 lb trailer up steep...

    Need to find roof rack brackets Thule or Yakima

    Thanks. I ended up using a hitch cargo basket attached to the trailer bumper. I loaded a 160 lb generator and a few other things. Made it 7 miles before it ripped the bumper most of the way off the frame to the trailer and dragged on the freeway. Emergency stop at a welding shop, ditched the...

    Need to find roof rack brackets Thule or Yakima

    We have a used Thule Sweden and my neighbor has a Yakima that he'll let me borrow. The Thule doesn't have any brackets and my neighbor owns a Honda Pilot which has narrow cross members so his U bolts are too narrow. So far I've not managed to find a fit kit for the Expedition that isn't close...

    4 prong to 7 prong

    I finally ran a wire from the 7 pin to the orange wire. So much easier to run a wire on the Expedition than on my Honda Odyssey. @bsevans5 i was just too chicken to pull apart the wire harness so I used a Posi-tap. Now I have 12 V going to my trailer. Hooray

    Intro and Question about payload and towing packages

    Make sure it has the HD package and not simply the Class IV tow prep package. Otherwise your tranny will run hot pulling just 3,500 lbs up twisty hills like mine - admittedly in 98 degree temperatures.

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    Thank you for posting the cost with the illustration. @bsevans5 thank you for answering my original question. I did make a big mess when I installed the cooler on the Odyssey. Fluid on me, various places in the engine bay and the street. Messy but the temperature gauge didn't budge at low...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    Adding an auxiliary ATF cooler to an Expedition must not be a common occurrence because I have yet to find a single YouTube video of it being done. Three months ago when I added one to our 2007 Odyssey I did so after watching a dozen or so videos and picture filled PDFs. Not a one for a 3rd...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    Thanks for the replies and no, I don't have the HD tow package which is why I was hoping someone on this board might've added the HD options and the cost. The tranny temps were helpful. I'll keep poking around until I find a way to check the ATF level. Once I can determine how much to add...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    @Adieu I am reading the temperature from the display . My 2016 gives many choices-MPG off-road and others. @USMCBuckWild i installed a tranny cooler on a 2007 Odyssey a few months ago and that was pretty straight forward. From what I've read, the Expedition doesn't have a dipstick for the...

    High tranny temps. Cost to install HD coolers?

    I pulled our 3,500 lb trailer behind the Expy for the first time this weekend. The braking and power of the Expy make it a breeze. The problem however is with the tranny temperature. It went as high as 238. When I kept it in a lower gear with higher RPMs that helped lower it down to 230...

    4 prong to 7 prong

    I solved my lack of running light on the trailer problem. Turns out fuse # 28 trailer park relay was empty. Those PITA fuse are not just mini fuses but low profile mini fuses. Neither OReillys or Autozone had a 25 amp low profile mini. I bought the 20 amp and everything lit up on the...

    4 prong to 7 prong

    @Bigpappa have you determined which fuse # covers the purple green wire? My popup trailer has an electric motor to raise the roof and an electric refrigerator so I want to make sure there is a 30 amp fuse. I'd still like to stick with the orange because that appears to go to the trailer 30 amp...

    4 prong to 7 prong

    Here's a couple pictures of the harness in front of the driver in the engine compartment. I pushed the orange wire up from where it was hiding. The brown/green wire also looks to 12 gauge.
