    2017 with dreaded paint issue?

    This is the normal operation of a warranty program. When it costs more to fix it under a warranty than it does to change the design is when it gets fixed. About the CBA...you (not you personally...speaking of people at large) don't get the short end until the warranty expires. If you question...

    Where is the Air suspension compressor

    If you have a scan tool that clears codes and turns of the MIL. Disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes or so will also reset the codes (along with your throttle maps, custom shift points, etc....). Or, you can wait and after a number of system checks it should clear itself.

    SYNC map update

    You'd think by now that Ford would have learned that their navigation system mapping process is unsatisfactory and shifted to some other form of mapping system.

    fuel filter expedition 2015

    The fuel filter in a 2015 is integrated with the fuel pump. There is no maintenance associated with it. Its a 'lifetime' component. Nobody believes it, but thats what Ford says.

    Traction options?

    My first experience with RSC was in an Explorer. I entered a 'round-a-bout' with a slight right turn, then switched to a left turn to execute the circle, and immediately turned right to get out of the circle. The RSC didn't like that, and basically took over.

    Traction options?

    Wait till you experience the RSC engaging. Its unnerving to say the least.

    Sync 3 . !!!

    If you want Sync 3, you can purchase a Sync 3 display and APIM and it'll work (plug and play). They aren't cheap, though.

    Steering Concern

    Could be a front bearing. Does it make the noise when turning either direction or just one?

    Stranger Things

    You don't have to do anything. Your car will run a bit louder now. If you've ever heard the term "Glass Pack" mufflers, thats the (fiber)glass packing. Vroom vroom!

    Are there ever meets?

    Literally the day after I bought mine, I was heading into town on Hwy 301 here in VA and wondered why everyone I was passing was giving me the thumbs up or waving. Turns out it was a large convoy of Expeditions going to some meeting somewhere. They all had a large sticker in the back window...

    Rough Idle Advice

    I would suggest the idle air controller as a culprit, but I'm not sure the 09's were using them. For us old schoolers, a bad idle always meant "IAC" first.

    Sync to Sync3?

    You can do that, and I believe the Sync2 to Sync3 only requires the screen and the APIM (and the updated USB console jack). The issue you'll have is being the first one to pounce on a working Sync3 in a junked car. Odds are the yard knows what the value is and pulls them nearly instantly and...

    Protecting your rear end

    Brilliance of legislators on display right there. Supposedly, someone who can’t see a large vehicle right front of them will spot a red tennis ball two feet off the ground. “Harvey, are you blind? Didn’t you see that red tennis ball?”

    Brake assist failure

    Sounds like your brake booster is failing, although the cause is unimportant for now. What is important is that your car is not safe to drive. I agree with 99WhiteC5Coupe. Have it towed to a shop.

    Key Programming

    A month ago I bought a '16 Explorer Platinum. It came with only one Intelligent key. The dealer offered to program another for $450. I declined and in the same breath said "cuz I can do it myself for nearly nothing with FORSCAN" They gave me a second, programmed key for free.

    Thinking about going from my 03 to a 2008/2009...

    Tow/Haul mode allows Overdrive and the TC to lock. It does change the shift points by holding a gear slightly longer when accelerating.
