    superchips cortex 1950 programer

    Tow tune definitely recommended that I use 91 octane. I just changed from the mileage xs tune (saw no benefits) back to the 87 octane tune.

    OEM remote start

    my ford dealer installed a 2-way avital that had awesome range and tailgate lift but no seat controls. unfortunately after 2 months they still could not figure out how to bypass the factory alarm (it ws $500 installed) so they yanked it and put the one way remote start only and programmed it in...

    2012 Ford Expedition Intake

    RayT - please report back. I am running the superchips right now and my next step is an intake. I had the Volant on my 03 and was happy with it - but if there is something better-I would try it. The superchips has been okay - shifting is straightened out some - but I definitely wanted more. I am...

    Why do you drive an Expedition?

    Because you never know when you are going to walk in to Home Depot for a replacement kitchen faucet and walk out with a new patio table, 4 chairs, a couple of bins for the kids art work ------- and a new kitchen faucet. I cannot believe I considered downsizing before i bought this one...

    rear defrost came off on one side

    That happened on my F150 from the dealer tag. I had to solder it back on (learned how to solder doing it). I actually turned it on so it would spark and then I knew it had a connection.That did not work (need more practice soldering more I guess), so I actually used super glue and apparently it...

    Edge or superchips

    Have had the Cortex in for a little bit now and am happy with it. I woild say all around driveability and the shifting is 10 times better. I like the performane tune the best, but the economy tune is not bad either. Have not really seen any mileage gains - but I have not seen any losses and I do...

    Bad headrest designs and possible fix

    sorry - just subscribing. My drivers side one is currently turned backwards. I believe there was a discussion on here or maybe it was an f150 forum - just have not looked it up yet. Backwards is a temporary solution u but have not looked further in to it yet

    New to the forum

    congrats on the new ride and welcome to the site. I have not towed a travel trailer with my Expy yet (2011, 2wd, tow package) but have towed our boat about 4000-4500 lbs behind it and also towed it with a 2011 Ram. They pulled pretty similar. A travel trailer will obviously be a lot different...

    What is the best mod

    reply back with which tuner you get. I am running the superchips cortex right now (on a 2011 2wd) and am content with it - but I wanted more. I have not attempted the Gotts mod yet - but go ahead and try it on this one. I probably have not messed with my tuner enough yet-but it did improve the...

    2011 head unit replacement

    thanks 2000gm, I actually did not know there was a harness that would allow you to keep sync controls (had not researched it). I may end up throwing my kenwood in also then since i also miss having the larger back up screen. I am having a hard time getting used to the rear view mirror screen. I...

    2011 head unit replacement

    2000 gm - did you happen to notice if your stock stereo still had the sub output on the back or if the wiring harness was already hooked up and possibly running back to where the factory sub would go. I can not seem to find an answer for this anywhere and would like to just add the factory sub...

    One thing you could change....

    love mine, but I would like a new motor options, and I have always wanted a roll-down back window. much better for air flow. I loved that option on my four-runners and I believe the F150 had an aftermarket kit in the early years that had a full roll down back window (like the Tundra). also auto...

    What chip to buy.

    EricH - I am interested to hear your feedback on the Hypertech. I have not messed with shift points or anything else on my SC Cortex yet because I am still going thru trying to decide which tune I like the best. The performance has been the most "spirited" so far - but this is probably the first...

    Who uses Sync?

    does not work with iphone 4 either. I think Apple probably has too much of a lock down on their products to share info with Ford to make it happen. I would love for it to be able to do audible texts. Kind of surprised it will not do it with the 4s considering it has Siri, I would think that you...

    What chip to buy.

    I have an 11 as well and have the superchips cortex. I am still playing with the different tunes on it, i am on the performance tune right now. I am not unhappy with it-but not ecstatic either. Imam happy that it appears to have straightened out my shifting some. I have not done any other mods...

    Edge or superchips

    Ordered the Superchips Cortex today and should have it tomorrow. I will keep ya'll updated. Sucks though because we are making about a 300 mile trip this weekend, but my parents are borrowing the Expy for a trip they are going on. I am more interested on in-town driving anyway. Thanks for all of...

    Popping from sub when vehicle is started

    sounds like a complex solution for when I had to put resistors in line of the amp turn on of my aftermarket head unit to reduce the pop. It did not completely get rid of the pop - but did soften it. I am certain this info will be helpful to others - the turn on pop was very irritating. I may...

    5star vs superchips, superchip wins?

    Subscribing because I cancelled my edge order in favor of 5star and the fact that I could put the tuner on my next Ford vehicle (if I did 5 star), but interested to see more input. My 2011 xlt will stay mainly stock but need a tuner to get the shifting/acceleration straightened out.

    My new ride

    sgtowing - over in Pinellas Park (St. Pete) thanks tpacheco - has really grown on us and I am thinking it was a pretty good choice now (lack of choices at the time for the options I wanted)

    My new ride

    Tampa Bay area-west coast of FL. My trucks usually get detailed about every 6 months. Other than that, not very often. I usually will clean love bugs and stuff off, other than that - too much other stuff going on entertaining the kid.

    My new ride

    that is correct freeway - thought you were talking about me complaining about the color of my Expy. I actually looked because I remembered someone posting up this color scheme before and I replied that it would not be my first color choice - now here it is. But liking it now. Was embarrasing...

    My new ride

    thanks Nathanielson - has grown on me and the wife absolutely loves it now, she keeps taking it from me. Not cool Freeway I am happy to be out of the red one though - no real issues with red, but it definitely stood out and I had some bad paint blemishes on it absolutely love the ride...

    Outside Temp Display

    my 2011 xlt has it near the ac controls - i believe next to the recirculate button - says "ext" on it (not being mean)
