    Best Oil Analysis Lab?

    Buy Back

    Wth is AM radio??... sorry I had to, jking LOL. I agree with your last post, regardless of whether or not its a small detail, it should still work for what they charge for these vehicles. I agree with Scottdm, I feel like it would be impossible to get them to buy it back over that. That being...

    Things I'd like to see on the 2022 Exp's (coming from a 2020 KR)

    I second this one, $90 and it was literally the easy thing i've ever installed on a vehicle... like easier than floor mats lol

    Expedition is going under the knife for VCT solenoid.

    Yep, that's it exactly! Thank you for sharing the video. This shouldn't be a major battle with them to get it fixed seeing as how I've had the phasers/VCT done at this point. My tech said it needed them badly too, it reached a certain point where my expedition started sounding like a diesel!

    Cam Phaser engine damage

    My dealer had mine for 9 days with the parts on hand prior to dropping off (that was a 2 month wait). I picked it up yesterday and its going back in again tonight for what I think is the waste gate rattle.

    Expedition is going under the knife for VCT solenoid.

    Cold started this morning and it wasn't nearly as bad as last night. This definitely seems like a wastegate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxqx9YWmbf0

    22" (stock) vs. 20" vs. 18" Wheels

    I run my OEM stealth 22" wheels in the spring/summer/fall and swap to F150 wheels with 275/55 snow tires for the winter and I can say from having done this for 2 years... my F150 wheels absolutely improve ride quality and MPG. I have a 35 mile commute and religiously watch mpgs and stuff like...

    Expedition is going under the knife for VCT solenoid.

    Welp, just picked mine up from the dealership and I think the rattle is worse... how is that possible?! Anyone see anything that would indicate parts that they actually fixed it? This sucks ***, this is the only vehicle I haven't gotten bored with after 2 years lol.

    Expedition is going under the knife for VCT solenoid.

    Man, that is unfortunate, that's exactly what I am worried about happening to mine. I don't want the unnecessary fumbling around in there. I think I am going to skip this one and wait for part of the turbos to fail if that's the case then as I have an extended warranty. Perhaps that will be a...

    Expedition is going under the knife for VCT solenoid.

    Okay, so maybe that's where my dealer is starting with VCT then. I assume you've not had your VCT done yet?

    2022 screen

    Another +1 for the current screen and controls. Hopefully that thing is only going in the higher trim levels.

    Expedition is going under the knife for VCT solenoid.

    interesting, perhaps i will point that out to the dealer. this is kinda why i was hesitant to have the dealership just tear in to it

    Expedition is going under the knife for VCT solenoid.

    Had a couple warranty repairs done last week and one of the ones I pointed out to the dealership was a loud ticking upon cold start for about 90 seconds. Dealership determined that they think its VCT (Variable Cam Timing) due to a service bulletin out on the expeditions. He told me in an ideal...

    Wow awesome setup!!! I have noticed that with my mesh gate too (mine will fold down flat when unloaded).

    List of expensive repairs

    The thought of this happening with a 2 ton load behind me is absolutely terrifying........

    List of expensive repairs

    So much truth here. I've said it time and time again to people who bust my chops for having a twin turbo v6, I'd rather repair a turbo at 90k miles and have the power/fuel economy associated with the EB than go back to a "reliable" V8. I put reliable in quotes because even so many of these fuel...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Oh man, that's a beauty in your avatar! That will be my next one I think, in LWB max form. So did max tow package get you the 360 cam?

    How much do you think it will be worth

    That's true, the market is kind of crazy right now. I bought pre-covid and got $8500 off of sticker for just walking in the door, I can't say dealers would still do that right now so any truck would most likely pull more now than 3-4yrs from now. Perhaps a better way of posing the question...

    How much do you think it will be worth

    I am more or less trying to figure out the kind of hit between 99,999 miles and 125k miles. I know some people are hesitant to cross that 100k mile threshold (for whatever reason, perhaps something about seeing 6 digits). Is keeping the vehicle an extra year/20k miles going to drop $8k in...
