    2024 expedition vibration

    Holy hell that's a lot of weights.

    2022 Expedition XLT 13.5 mpg

    My 2020 with 275/60/20 Hankooks at ~35psi, 3.31 AR, and the roof rack crossbars gets about 16 around town (I drive sedately 95% of the time), about 23 highway @ ~65-75, and about 20-21 at my typical 83mph if I can stay in cruise control and not deal with too many idiots. I just had plugs/coils...

    Second Trans Rebuild, what the heck!

    I have an ESP but since I'm still under 5year/60k miles, they did it under the factory powertrain warranty.

    Second Trans Rebuild, what the heck!

    I had my 2020 with about 58k miles into the dealer in February 2024 with some pretty odd/sloppy 1-3/3-5 shifting. They determined CDF drum and a bunch of clutches were bad, and rebuilt the transmission. Better for a while, but I left it with them again over July 4th vacation for cold start...

    Code P0430

    I had this on my 2020. The check engine light would go away on longer drives but come back when driving short trips around town. They replaced the bank 2 cat and hasn't been back since. I did monitor cat temps and the upstream/downstream O2 sensors while driving, and while the upstream O2...

    2021 Expedition P0430 code before and after cat replacement need some advise.

    Agreed. When my 2020 threw that code, watching the 4 sensors showed 3 were very stable even sub-1000 degrees, but the 4th (downstream bank 2 if I recall correctly) was showing a good bit of fluctuation. They replaced the cat on that side (mine was bank 2) and never had an issue after that.

    AGM battery

    One thing you can do that will test the battery: put it on a trickle charger overnight. Get a good one that will keep throwing 1.5A intermittently even if it shows full, like a BatteryMINDer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q3CM2QY/ If you put it on there overnight or better yet over a...

    Hood Deflector Options?

    Personally, I went with the AVS Aeroskin as I didn't want room behind it for bugs and such to get stuck, and really only wanted rock chip protection on the hood leading edge. Same thing I had on my F-150 for ~5 years that worked great.

    FORScan programming options

    For me, I do not drive but about 10-20 minutes and maybe 5 miles per day, so it makes good sense. If you drive at night a lot, probably not really needed as turning the headlights on overrides (to an extent) the battery-drain-if-at-or-near-target-state-of-charge behavior. If you drive an hour...

    FORScan programming options

    I did mostly the same things I did on my 2015 F-150. * Disabled startup chimes * Disabled double-horn honk when leaving with truck still running * Disabled chimes - vehicle running with door open * Changed tire circumference to fix slight speed offset due to wheel size difference * Changed...

    Expedition Going into Deep Sleep - Battery Low

    I went an additional step on my 2020: I used forscan to set the battery target state of charge to 95% (up from the default 80%). For my normal driving habits which are 10-20 minute around-town drives every day, it keeps the battery up around 88-90%. With the default of 80%, mine would regularly...

    Engine rattling and transmission

    Well, I think I'd rather go spend $7 on a couple springs, do that fix, and see if all the noise goes away. If it does, it's probably not the cam phasers. As diagnostic fees go, $7 is about as cheap as it gets. ;)

    Engine rattling and transmission

    They might have said there's no fix as there is no official Ford fix for it. There does appear to be a workaround/fix to stop the rattle if it is indeed the turbo waste gate. See https://www.f150forum.com/f118/3-5-wastegate-rattle-fixed-507919/ for details. I haven't done this on mine as the...

    2020 Plat Max Transmission Normal Temps

    Mine sits around 215 on longer trips in Texas. I have about 57k miles on it. Also, no need to buy a custom gauge to show the trans temp; forscan can make those numbers show up for free (or the price of an OBD2 adapter), along with a bunch of other nice features. I think I got the offsets from...

    2020 Platinum Reverse Lights?

    I ended up going with these: https://www.headlightrevolution.com/3156-1000lm-led-reverse-light-bulbs-LED.BUL.REVERSE.3156_2?quantity=1 for the reverse lights. Could probably spend less on an amazon item but I've had great luck with them over the last decade. I put these in for the license-plate...

    Ride is awful

    My 2020 with 20" OEM Hankook Dynapro tires rides pretty good, especially compared to my 2015 F-150 4x4 even though the F-150 had 18" wheels and Michelin Defender LTX tires. It's no 1965 Eldorado but I have no complaints on moderately decent roads. My parents' have a 2022 2WD Max that had the...

    Exhaust Noise - seems too loud

    I notice the interior "drone" is significantly louder in my 2020 Expedition, my parents' 2022, and the 2023 loaner I had a few weeks ago versus my 2015 F-150 or the parents' 2019. Same 3.5L EB, all stock exhausts.

    Blue Cruise observations

    Aside from both bluecruise and lane-keeping not knowing how to deal with anything other than clearly marked lane paint in the same consistent color (yes, we've seen very bright, smooth, visible lines that changed from a almost yellow to a darker, orange color cause it to drop lane-keeping), the...

    How screwed up is your 2023 with Synch 4/15” Screen?

    We'd just like ours to have the second configurable MyView gauge to stay on the freakin' transmission temp and not keep switching back to boost.

    In the market for an Expedition - what to watch for?

    If you end up looking at the newer models (I think MY22 and up) double-check the window sticker and make sure they didn't do a bunch of the "delete" options. My parents bought a '22 Max Platinum a couple months ago and the original dealer had deleted the nifty lumbar adjustable seats, the kick...

    iPhone overheats and shuts down while in charging pad

    The one with the letters P, R, N, D, and M on it. Totally agree with gtr09 about that.
