    2011 4WD issue

    VTfireftr - did you get a resolution to this? I have the same issue when first starting off. Once I get going, though, I'm not noticing it.

    How Many Miles Between Oil Changes

    One of the things I've been toying with is taking oil samples and sending to a lab for testing. We do it with our diesel gensets at work and the info they come back with is awesome. I've found that you can extend the life of your oil by knowing how it's holding up. In fact, there are many who...

    How Many Miles Between Oil Changes

    I'm going about 5K between changes using whatever the dealer does for me (great deal there since bought the vehicle there). They say it's a synthetic blend.

    TSB's lookup

    I google searched and found the following Ford page. It apparently only advises on open recalls. Nothing about TSBs. Personalized Vehicle Owner Information "Note: Be advised that this system tracks safety and emission recalls for which vehicles are subject to repair in the United...

    TSB's lookup

    I'm resurrecting this thread since I'm interested in what TSB's are available for the Expedition. Specifically, my 2011. And, I have a '13 Escape, so I'd like to keep up with that as well. I found the 2011 from the links listed earlier: 2011 FORD EXPEDITION TSB's (technical service...

    Gettin annoyed...

    Did you check the battery terminals with a volt meter to ensure the + is really positive and the - is really negative? It's been known to happen. Also - consider disconnecting the battery again for a few minutes to allow things to reset again and see if that helps.

    fuel filter Where is he

    The pump is in the tank as well as the filter. The manual for my 2011 EL states "Your vehicle is equipped with a lifetime fuel filter that is integrated with the fuel tank. Regular maintenance or replacement is not needed." Why would they say that if there was something else you would...

    2013-14 DVD player question

    1) The tie in to the Sync system is ONLY available if the headrests were installed at the factory. 2) Either DVD player can see the other player. One is A and the other B. You select via the source. You can also use a USB connection or composite video/audio in. 3) Since there are two...

    USB2 in 2010 Expy Limited? Where

    It's on the Sync module that's located inside the center console. Search the forum for the USB 2 mod and you'll come across some posts on how to get to it. You'll need to rig an extension cable to get to it once you put your console back together.

    Got Weathertech floor liners

    I've had the same set since spring. LOVE THEM! I have two small kids who have had other small kids in 2nd / 3rd row seating. Can't tell you how many times those mats have saved me.

    Adding 2nd USB port to Ford SYNC

    Do you have any pics of the final result? Is there just another USB port on the sync module you just plug another usb extension in to?

    Regular or Premium

    I use Costco gas as often as I can which is most of the time. Love the prices too.

    What are the different editions of Expys?

    It's real. Just a different grade. Do some checking on the KR and you'll see people had problems with it.

    Suburban owner switches to expedition after 17 yearsp

    BigRed - those double dutch doors bug the crap out of me. Driving down the road with the pillar down the middle of the window sucks. At least to me. Why do you think the double doors are better for loading? I can't say I've ever had a problem loading with the lift gate.

    Dilema: Keep 07 EL or find an Excursion?

    You had a hot pass for the race? NICE! I have an '11 EL that I'm going to haul my 24' TT about 6 hours away. Can't wait to see how it does compared to my '99 EB. I wanted a diesel excursion as well, but never found one that wasn't lifted, had "low" miles, and the owner wanted a reasonable...

    4.6 vs. 5.4

    Not sure what your experience is, but I'd have to disagree that age has anything to do with power / torque requirements. Just because you are over 50 doesn't mean you don't tow anything. In fact, I could make an argument the other way. As for the 4.6 vs 5.4.......for me it's the same thing...

    For you owners out there with kids...

    Not a concern of mine as I figure millions survived driving vehicles without any airbags. I have them in my '11, which I like. But, it wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me if I found one without. I figure we have an advantage with the size and everyone has to wear seat belts.

    Fuel economy

    On my last road trip the computer actually got to around 19 MPGs. So it was probably between 18 and 19. 2011 EL XLT Premium. Generally get around 11 to 13 around town with some hwy driving.

    VIN decoding & options/packages

    There is more to towing than the weight rating. You might want to read up on how length plays in to it as well to be safe. Especially when you are talking RVs.

    weird rear a/c question

    Don't worry about it. We've all had the solution staring us in the face and couldn't see it. Like, "where are my sunglasses damn it!" - oops, on my head. Right? Hope that is actually the problem...let us know, okay?

    To get Extended warranty or Not to get it ?

    I went with the Ford Warranty - 72 month/72K mile, disappearing $100 deductible meaning the first time I go to the dealership I always go to I pay $100 one time only.

    To get Extended warranty or Not to get it ?

    I got an extended warranty for my '11 EL when I bought it this past March with 15,000 Miles on it. It's worth it. If you have any problems at all with components known to go bad, you can use it to get them replaced so you don't have to worry about them later. I'm talking about things like...
