    Expy Accessory - Inverter

    Wow! Be careful what you power up with that. I only use true sine wave inverters. Cost much more but it is as clean as power line power.

    Strong Fuel Smell after Refueling

    Over 150,000 miles and I always fill the '04 until the filler opening is full with gas.....

    Almost ran it out of oil... what should I look/listen for

    I check my '04 weekly and add a quart when it needs it as it just started using more at 150,000. As the owners manual state....check the oil levels frequently. It doesn't drip or bluesmoke. I change the oil at 3K so maybe it takes a quart or 2 in that time.

    Coolant for 2004 Expedition EB 4x4

    Dealers don't always do the right thing....they are in business to sell vehicles. If the vehicles last a long time and don't need repairs they and the manufacturers lose money. Something to think about. Same with road deicing, body shops knew about that back in the '60s.

    Coolant for 2004 Expedition EB 4x4

    NO! That's what clogs heater cores and causes scale buildup.

    New 2016 Owner - with plenty of questions

    I would have to research the part number...Ford calls it a "Remote Start Kit" but when you open the box it's just the two new keys. Yeah I got charged for "labor" by the dealer. LOL At least it's factory!

    Weak signal on my key/remote

    I get better range by holding it up as well. I point the metal key up as I think it acts like an antenna.

    Trans fluid level

    Summit Racing sells a filler tube dipstick kit. Brings it up to the top on the firewall. Going to put one on mine along with an aluminum larger capacity oil pan.

    2016 XLT Remote Start Install Success

    That's right. On the '16 Expedition it's part of the PCM, not sure on the earlier years. Just need to buy the keys and program the PCM for the option. Doesn't the kit use another fob? I like having an OEM key with the start feature. I would never install an aftermarket kit in a new $50K+ truck.

    2016 XLT Remote Start Install Success

    The dealer is full of crap on the '16 Expedition. All you need to buy is new factory remote start keys...which look just like the original but with the center start button....the dealer programs the PCM with a laptop and you now have factory remote start. No cutting wires and plugging in stuff...

    Regular or premium

    Hahaha. The group needs moderators to vet the people who answer questions on the Eco Boost to be sure they are Eco Boost owners. LOL

    It was brilliant german engineering too bad they got caught. The USEPA is too powerful and some standards are ridiculous.

    I wonder if the on board computers are lying to us LOL. I check the '16 on the dash too and the '04 & '06 calculated by miles and fuel used. All tho the '04 is the 2 valve and the '06 was the 3 valve. The '06 got better mpg at about 13-14. Long highway trips up to 15mpg.

    Must be our crap fuel LOL. Since the cold snap here the '04 5.4 is getting consistent 10mpg. But it also gets warmed up longer before being driven too so that's why it's down from 12. The '16 gets warmed up until the engine oil temp reads "normal" on the display.

    It sure does. It has more power and more fun to drive than my other V8 Expeditions that average 12mpg compared to my '16 getting 17mpg.

    We take it a step further and run non ethanol 91+ octain in all our small engines, PWC, ATV and dirt bikes. All two strokes get synthetic oil.

    Regular or premium

    I run Shell premium or other top tier fuel and add Marvel Mystery Oil to keep things lubed and clean. Not worth it to me to save a few pennies on fuel for a $50,000+ truck. Top tier fuel is the key to engine longevity....I don't see anyone discussing that. http://www.toptiergas.com/

    Guys that don't read or comprehend the owners manual make me want to bang my head. The EB is a twin turbo, direct injected engine. It's in the manual - recommended fuel for best performance is premium top tier. You can run less octane and the PCM will adjust it's settings and retard ignition...

    '18 Expedition Platinum vs '18 Yukon Denali

    It comes down to this: Are you a Ford or GM person? That will answer your question on which one to choose.

    Starter grinding

    Mine does it with either remote start or with the key. Definitely starter or ring gear.

    I have an '04 doing the exact same thing.

    Oil Burning, Replacing a Quart Every 1-2 weeks

    What gasket?

    Wierd noise while driving

    My vote is wheel bearing or CV joint.
