    Expedition stumbled badly on interstate.

    Hey Muddy, glad you got it all sorted out. So I can't imagine Ford's official fix for this problem is drill a hole in the intercooler. I wonder what it is? Replace the intercooler?

    Well she got pummeled today at a four way stop....its a sad sad day

    Insurance rules differ from state to state and in my case province to province. In Ontario we have a no-fault system. It doesn't mean no one is at fault. It simply means you deal with your own insurance company no matter whose fault it is. If it is determined your are at fault, you are on the...

    Anyone getting constant reminders about checking for Wifi?

    Okay. Thanks Loki. I do have the truck's wifi setup to connect to the house's network. I suspect it doesn't always connect when I pull it out of the garage as the signal there is weak.

    Anyone getting constant reminders about checking for Wifi?

    I keep seeing this message too. Not always though. Started happening a couple of months ago IIRC. Didn't used to be this way. I could disable the message but why are we getting it now?

    2017 Expedition EL-Child seats / Top Tethers

    I'm not sure about retrofitting a tether. To be honest, I would look at a minivan instead of an Expedition. Much better suited for larger families. My old Oddy had tether anchors on the back of the third row and I'm pretty sure most other minivans do too. Of course, once your kids graduate to...

    So the wife hit a deer last night.

    I'm glad your wife and horses are okay. Never hit a deer myself. Clipped one when one jumped over the hood of my old Maxima. Minor dent on the fender from a hoof. Saw a minivan 100 yards ahead of me hit one. Messy as the deer was almost torn in two by the passenger side A-pillar. Luckily...

    Display goes black

    I had an issue where the display, HVAC and radio never coming on after starting. I had my door open, closing the tail gate automatically and started the truck at the same time. Wasn't a big deal as I was only going 5 minutes down the road. Next time I started the truck everything was normal and...

    Changing Navigation While Driving

    Just so everyone knows, E911 enabled or not in your vehicle, when you call 911 on your cellphone, the call center automatically receives your location. This way, they can quickly direct first responders to your location.

    Cooling fan behind instrument panel?

    Turn the key to on mode without actually starting the truck. If you have the push button start feature, hit it twice without stepping on the brake. This will turn on all the electronics without starting the truck. Next turn off HVAC, seat cooling, radio etc. See if you can still hear the hum.

    17" Steelies Fit?

    Well I like the 17" rims because the tires are cheaper. Found this set on Kijiji. Claims they came off an F150...

    Headlights not working

    IIRC, the 08 has a single bulb for both high and low beams. There are two filaments in them. The DRL is actually just the high beam on 1/2 power. You may have a loose connection somewhere or the bulbs maybe on their way out. Have you tried replacing them?

    17" Steelies Fit?

    Thanks guys. @Black - not terribly mechanically inclinded. How do you measure backspacing? @Adieu - Good idea looking for a used set. Not sure of availability around here though.

    17" Steelies Fit?

    Looking to put winter tires on my expedition this winter. I don't want to spend too much money on something fancy so decided that steel rims would be the right choice. I found a set of 17" steel rims on Tire Rack. Tire Rack seems to think they will fit but will they? I'm concerned they won't...

    Wheel Alignment

    So my service adviser at the local Ford dealership is saying my truck is due for a wheel alignment as part of the recommended service by Ford. Looked at the owner's page on Ford's website and didn't see it anywhere. Truck is 1 year old with 35K kms (about 22000 miles) I have not noticed...

    how can i lock the vehicle with engine running and walk away with key

    It is a waste of gas to leave it idling for more than a few minutes. Not sure how good it is for the engine either. I would follow start-art's advice.

    Can you remote start with an app?

    You need the LTE modem for this to work and that didn't come with the 2017 and earlier models. 2018 has it. I'm not sure if it is something that can be added later.

    Brand of Airbags and Inflators in 2017 Limited??

    I don't think any vehicle made after 2015 have Takata airbags so your 2017 Expedition should be fine. I had to wait a couple years too for my 2008 Lexus. Owners were told not to have a passenger in the front seat until the recall was done. Totally impractical since the replacement parts took so...

    2015 Expedition with Very Loud Fan

    Loud roaring sound from the fans is normal. Now a rattling sound, that's different.

    Bull Bar

    Do bull bars increase damage done to other cars if you hit them? I know a Corolla isn't going to win a battle with an Expedition but would hate to think I increased damage done without actually adding any extra protection for myself.

    Apple CarPlay won't come up

    I have an Android phone and I get text alerts when connected over Bluetooth (no Android Auto). I window pops up giving me an option to hear the text. For it to work though, I had to adjust the Bluetooth settings for the Ford connection on the phone. I'm going to assume something similar may...

    Adding BLIS

    My limited has it but it took the dealer a few days to locate one that did. My wife was adamant that the truck have this thing. Personally don't find it all that useful as you don't get an audio warning or flashing light on the dash if you attempt to change lane when another vehicle is present.
