    Transmission Rebuild (Redesigned Parts) - Experiences

    Mine is still OK after last year's replacement (mostly) but I only have about 8k miles on it since then. It still doesn't shift as smooth as a 6R80 and nowhere near the trans in my 1998 Crown Vic. Rebuild 1, October 2023. Can't find rebuild #2 from 2/2024 paperwork but it was a valve-body...

    Rougher ride sitting in 3rd row?

    As a follow-up, I'll say the Max is light-years ahead of the regular length Expeditions in terms of overall ride quality. Get one as a loaner sometime when yours is in for service and you'll likely agree. They've at least moved the headrests back a couple inches in the 2025s so you don't get...

    Rougher ride sitting in 3rd row?

    Weight distribution is better than a truck but not a whole lot as the engine/trans/battery is still up front. The 3rd-row seats are also thinner padding.

    Am I just shifting/driving wrong or is the 10r80 that "questionable"?

    Yep, that was what happened with my 2020. I still notice the new one shudder a little when shifting 1->3->5 or 2->4. I don't have the clunks upshifting, but when I'm slowing down it clunks every time it downshifts into 3rd and makes a faint but audible metallic PING noise like a rock hitting...

    Steering Issue

    Do you have lane-keeping assist enabled? If so, disable it and see if that goes away. These aren't perfect especially in corners, and are highly dependent on road markings from what I can tell. I have the same year and trim and it is also very good at keeping me from running off the right side...

    Center Stowage Compartment Downgrade

    I run a Samsung S23 Ultra via one of the two USB-C ports usually running Waze (via Android Auto), a telemetry dashboard via the MX+ bluetooth OBD2 reader, and some music app or youtube, and it will charge up pretty normally even with all that running. And doesn't get hot or even warm to the...

    bearing / noise when idling or driving

    That's something the serpentine belt attaches to. Best advice: get a 3-4ft length of 1/2" tubing of some sort (preferably clear, IYKYK), hold one end to your ear and stick the other end down by the pulleys the belt runs over (carefully lol). It'll work like a stethoscope and let you key in on...

    Lane Centering Hugging Middle?

    Incidentally, my 2020 does a similar thing. It only has the lane-keeping "assist" where it corrects/nudges back toward the lane center when it wanders over to either edge of the lane. I notice that when I'm drifting toward the right edge, it corrects pretty close to the time the tires hit the...

    Lane Centering Hugging Middle?

    My parents' 2022 does the same thing, where we prefer to hug the outside of the lane away from other traffic.

    My auto-dimming head lights don't seem to...

    Pretty sure that delay is how long it keeps the lights on after you turn off the vehicle.

    Roof rack/ trim pieces blew off

    Yuck. Hopefully wasn't too many. Ever since that hailstorm in 2017 (I think?) blew a couple of fist-sized holes through my roof and blew out all the front windows, I have a hard time sleeping when a storm blows in and the wind really picks up. This time it only temporarily broke the back fence...

    Am I crazy? Chime tone change.

    Mine changes from the stereo speakers to the dash piezo speaker from time to time as well. I watch my battery State of Charge and voltage religiously and I have yet to determine a particular pattern to it. It happened a lot more often when I had a bad battery but even replacing it and keeping...

    Customer Satisfaction Program 25B01 - Certain 2024 Expedition/Navigator vehicles - Equipped with 10R80 Transmission - Transmission Replacement

    This kind of thing (that likely was a sprag supplier issue) is why it is critical to focus on quality. When these happen, it should be peoples' default reaction to say, "Hmm, I'm glad Ford found the issue with only a few hundred affected units," and not "JFC, what is it this time?" Anyone know...

    4th gen Limited Max Stealth performance with 304A package vs Max Platinum

    What are your roads like? And do you have any back, neck, or knee issues? ;)

    Needed a quick oil change. Wish I had gone to the dealer.

    This was on the first highway trip after I bought it and they said they had "serviced the transmission" whatever that meant. A few weeks later they did the first valve body + CDF rebuild. I'm just glad I bought one that was still well within the 60kmi factory warranty.

    Needed a quick oil change. Wish I had gone to the dealer.

    To be fair to independent shops, the ONLY two times I have ever ended up with overfilled oil (which I caught the next weekend) or overfilled transmission fluid (which I noticed after the entire underside of the car had been spraypainted with it during a highway drive) were from Ford dealers.

    Tire/wheel vibration all corners

    :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: That's just ridiculous. My 2020 doesn't do this on 20" OEM tires. My 2015 F-150 did it with the factory 20" trash tires but was completely solved when I swapped them for 18" Michelin Defender LTXs and non-Ford wheels. My parents' 2022 Expedition Max doesn't do this...

    Tire pressure parameters

    There are truck scales somewhere in your area that have per-axle readings. As an example using Little Rock, Arkansas:

    Tire pressure parameters

    I'll chime in here to hopefully provide some clarity. My uncle was a design mechanical engineer at Michelin for a few decades. His statement when I asked about pressures was this: pressure for a given load is linear between 0psi/0load and the sidewall's max PSI at max load. Plot a line between...

    Question about 2019 Ford Expedition tail lights upgrade

    My notes on the reversing lamp for a 2020 Expedition Max Platinum say 3057K 27Watt. The ones I ordered were these:

    Question about 2019 Ford Expedition tail lights upgrade

    Yes, the LED tail lights on the Expeditions are I think part of the package(s) that has the LED headlights. The ones on my 2015 F-150 Platinum that had LED all around were unibody designs with a circuit board hot-welded into the tail light housing and couldn't be replaced.

    24 Limited cruise lane keeping not centered by a lot - adjustable?

    Interesting. My parents' 2022 likes to do the exact opposite: it hugs the centerline when we like to drive over to the right edge. I wonder if it has to do with sensor calibration as you mentioned.

    2020 Expedition Max - Power Running Board Issue - Easy Swap to Fixed?

    On mine, it was the front motor/hinge on the driver's side. They replaced that part and it's been fine for the last 8 months since. That said, I still don't understand how we went from $1250 for the PAIR of running boards including all the motors, floorboards, wiring, brackets, etc. for a 2015...
