    2018 Expedition HD Tow pkg potential upgrades

    Florence did not make direct contact with us, but was blamed for several tornadoes that touchdown in Central Va. I'm grateful my family wasn't affected by anything more than fear, as others endured loss of life and property. Fortunately enough it happened in broad daylight, so it may have...

    2018 Expedition HD Tow pkg potential upgrades

    I c where you'd think it would be better, but it won't switch to 2wd without lifting off the throttle. The Dragstrip launch area usually has an abundance of grip, if u lineup in a good groove, and drive around the waterbox, if on street tires. I'm a little bummed, I didn't get the customary...

    2018 Expedition HD Tow pkg potential upgrades

    Interesting observation. When I had practiced launching away from the track, I had a tendency to "feather in" the throttle, but Friday night, as nasty as it was (atmospheric), I buried the throttle at take off. I'll go again to the track before changing anything on the vehicle, but it won't be...

    Which result did you base that off of (the fueling limit reference)? The 14.55 or the optimistic 14.24 of the OBDLink? I hope not the OBDLink as it seems pointless.

    I don't think that's the case, the 1st pass, where I forgot to trigger the OBDLink MX, (after staging) is fairly close to this one, and it was in 2Hi mode. The people (some) on the F-150 forum who regularly go to the dragstrip, have remarked that 2Hi yields better ET as well as Normal drive...

    Finally, dragstrip Friday night. Unfortunately my suspicion was confirmed. The accuracy of the OBDLink MX "feature" that computes 0 to the following incrementals 60mph/60feet/330 feet/eighth mile ET &mph/1000feet/quarter mile ET &mph, is NOT something I can recommend for anyone looking for a...

    Clearly, we have "a failure to communicate". I don't see anything, I may have said in rebuttal to be any more/less condescending than that of the original reply. "Senior members" have a monopoly on factual information around here? You seem to want me to believe, that newby members should...

    Well I don't know anyone who would be a fan of such behavior. That said, you've proven my point, yet again by the shear insinuation that I was having a rant, via my last post. Assuming again? I merely pointed out there is an obvious contingent of folks here that enjoy puffing their chest out...

    2018 Expedition HD Tow pkg potential upgrades

    I find it very amusing, but in a sad sort of way how a lot of folks who choose to participate in a thread, only do so to be as condescending as possible. I never said with any conviction, what I might choose to burn money on for my Expedition. In fact the title of the the thread says POTENTIAL...

    2018 Expedition HD Tow pkg potential upgrades

    My point was (at least as far as my Expedition is concerned) he's only got 3.55 rear, where I've got 3.73 and probably around the same additional weight you mentioned before, so me thinks it would be a wash. From his signature...New truck 2017 Super Crew XL 4X4 STX Package 5 1/2' bed Bone Stock...

    2018 Expedition HD Tow pkg potential upgrades

    I'm sure recalibrated shift points would in all likelihood be a lot more pleasant to drive, however that would have zero bearing on longevity (IMHO). It's not like I intend to increase the output of the engine anymore than MAYBE 80Hp and 80/lb-ft at the absolute max. So having the HD Tow pkg and...

    LOL! That poor bastard was ripped off, and doesn't even know it. 12 hours labor??? Ok, sure. The funny thing about dyno run comparison (even on the same Dyno) is if you don't make the tests back to back in similar conditions on the exact same day, the net difference is worthless. The only...

    Yes, I agree, but I'm not sold on what is currently available, it's almost a monopoly at the moment. I'm not saying I won't, end up with a tune, just that what is available vs. what I hope will soon be available...I can only comment on what IS available NOW. If by the time I decide to seek some...

    uple of things I'm not Couple things I'm not sure you factored in... Any 3.5 ET's from that link that are from Pre 2017 F-150 aren't really directly comparable. The F-150 in 2017 received the same spec power train as we did in 2018. The F-150 HD Tow pkg only gets 3.55 axle ratio vs 3.73 in...

    Well ballzzzzzz!!! I finally received what I thought was going to be a 4" catback exhaust. Opened the box, and thought it looked small. Took the protective wrap off one end, grabbed the measuring tape and what do you know...3"!!! Dah Fack! Anyhoo, I'm grateful in an odd way that it isn't 4"...

    Unless he posted that in another thread, he certainly did NOT post that here. The following is a direct copy paste...I am pretty sure 0-60 times are close to 4 seconds but no way to verify it Probably 1/4 mile in the 12's He said close to 4 seconds, to me that's a mighty big...

    YES you can. The device I have is Android friendly, I use it with my Android phone (Motorola Z2). The OBDLink MX is Bluetooth, which is what I have and is easily had on Amazon for around $79.00 shipped. The same company also sells other versions LX, WiFi, SX but I can only comment on the MX...

    That area of Mexico resembles McKinney, TX U.S. 75 a little bit. There's a lot more highway lanes than when I lived in Allen, so I guess it's just a coincidence...

    The measure of Torque I referred to is at the crank, not rear wheel, and it was supposed to be a 5 not a 6. My bad. I'll show meeself out now, lol.
