    Mobile wifi for trip

    The best bet and cost effective for you would be a small portable modem they call them Jetpacks, hotspots, etc from your cellular carrier. I went all out in my '16 with an industrial grade permanently installed modem/router ($800) that uses a roof mounted antenna for cell & wifi on the Verizon...

    I haven't even looked were the plugs are. By your experience it sounds like they are easy to change unlike the 5.4?

    My '16 runs 195-205 on the interstate 70-75mph. At the first trans service I'm going to change the pan out to a cast aluminum with cooling fins and larger capacity with a drain plug. Also adding the regular dipstick and tube up on the fire wall.

    Fluid Film

    I buy Fluid Film by the 5 gallon pail for around $150. Use about 3 quarts per vehicle. All you need is an air compressor and the Fluid Film sprayer kit for about $90. You can buy at a Napa Auto Parts or online. It needs to be done at least once a year in the fall twice is better so why pay...

    Oil maintenance question

    07 Expedition 148k Miles - Radiator Leak - Stop Leak?

    Now to go against the popular response. I have used Bar's Leak Pelletized Heavy Duty Stop Leak PLT11 pellets for many years on many different engines...never a problem or anything clogged.

    Ecoboost Oil Change

    I'm not happy with the '16. I installed a drain valve on the pan to make it a little easier. The filter is the hardest to get to....have to reach up and do it blind.
