    Air Filter

    Motorcraft oil and air filters. Some of these are trucks (1st gens) and some are big wagons. What possible improvement in performance can a $30 air filter provide? Puleeeze.

    What is the best year Expedition to buy?

    Brother has 2018 F150 Platinum. 85,000 needs a phaser etc job. Has that diesel sound. BTW... it has the 5.0.

    what about "Oil Catch Can" ?

    Perhaps not life extended but certainly better health throughout its life. :rolleyes:

    This has to be the highest priced 2nd gen in the country.

    Mileage is directly tied to market value simply because it’s an indicator of wear and tear and/or remaining life expectancy plus cost of ownership. The more worn ie mileage the sooner you’ll be replacing parts. Thus the reduction in values in the market. There is certainly truth to the notion...

    Bypass oil filter installation

    Yes. Did you read tour first paragraph? Which is it? https://www.greencarcongress.com/2016/05/20160503-f150.html

    Bypass oil filter installation

    Actually they don’t. Some are now using both direct and port injection. See newer DI like ecoboost.

    Bypass oil filter installation

    By pass oil filter is way overkill if you use quality oil and proper change intervals. If doing for easy access, makes sense. Catch cans... one of the many reasons I won’t buy an ecoboost motor.

    Lots of salt there.

    3rd Gen 2015 Expedition EL Max sawing noise from driverside

    Try driving windows down no ac along a wall. The sound should be clearer bouncing off the wall. I just discovered a weehee weehee sound on mine. Seems like when body rocks back and forth I get that squeaky sound.

    What is the best year Expedition to buy?

    Yesterday I met up w a buddy who loves his 2018 F150. Beautiful. Battleship Grey. 3in lift. Gorgeous. I’m parked next to him so I told him bet my truck quieter than his. When he started his truck it had a windup toy tin rattle for 2-3 seconds. Then it sounded like my high school girlfriends...

    What is the best year Expedition to buy?

    Not mine. 222,xxx miles and running strong. I believe Ford went to a different plug so that is ancient history unlike the ecobooms.

    What is the best year Expedition to buy?

    F150 is made of aluminum which doesn’t rust.

    What is the best year Expedition to buy?

    1st gen. No turbos. No 6-cylinders. No timing chain, guides, phaser problems. No DI so no catch can. Most reliable version. But the best reason is no payments. Save you money and buy bitcoins or silver. Best advice yet!

    Time for tires, Michelin Defender LTX vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

    Nah. Buddy of mine was saying sarcastically that they’ll come out and expand the batch of tires updating the recall to all their tires kinda like what happened to Firestone years ago.

    Time for tires, Michelin Defender LTX vs Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT

    Not if it’s been on the shelf for a while. And you don’t know about the update on the recall.

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    I suggest you think twice or at least be super vigilant on that Canadian Expy. Rust, emissions, it’s a northern car. Did I mention rust?

    See major recall by Cooper Tires today.

    Would you buy a 2012-2014 Expy...

    With 100k or around there plus or minus 10-15k miles? We’re talkin 5.4 3v here now. I like the looks and the prices I’m seeing. Would a CarShield or similar warrant this vintage?

    Powerstop Slotted Rotors/Pads Z-36

    Yup. 1st paragraph is exactly right. Let’s now debate SS brake lines and high performance brake fluids :D

    Question about buying used, 2014 vs 2015 and up Expedition

    Ford shat themselves w those ecoboost time bombs. Let’s see...since you aksed... what could go wrong when you put a tiny displacement 6-cylinder in a heavy assed truck but then so it’s not a complete dog let’s force high pressure air and jump the compression and this way you can get 2 miles per...

    Any idea what this is?

    That right there is a 2 billion jigawatt multiplex transformer to minimize parasitic oscillation during time travel. :rolleyes:

    Powerstop Slotted Rotors/Pads Z-36

    I had PowerStops. They lasted 25k miles. Think about OE rotors w high quality ceramic pads. Don’t fall for slotted and or drilled for a friggin Expy unless you spend lots of time on the track and replace brakes in between hard runs. These aren’t track cars.
