    Cut the rear axels... just do it.

    In addition, any imbalance created by cutting the axle shaft is close to the center of rotation which would tend to make the imbalance unnoticeable.

    Turbo replacement

    Just the turbocharger is about $380 from Levittown Ford Parts. I'd ask your shop what's involved in the remaining $3620.

    Driving With Rear Window Open??

    I've done it. OTOH, I'm only about 3 miles from the Lowe's store where I picked up the lumber. The biggest issue is that the back of your vehicle sucks. That's why it gets dirty. With the rear window open, you risk pulling exhaust fumes into the vehicle. Running with all the windows open would...

    Safety Recall 25S47 - Certain 2022-2024 Expedition/Navigator - Front Brake Line Leak - Inspection, Documentation + Reporting of Substandard Condition

    The recall has to do with positioning of a brake line. I don't see a brake line in your photo.

    High delivery mileage?

    I wouldn't fret about 100 miles on the odo as long as the warranty start date and miles correspond to the day/miles you take delivery. Yes, it's possible, and likely, that your Expedition was off-lined for additional testing. It's also possible that some road miles were put on the vehicle during...

    2025 APR 18 Update on My 2025 Expedition Platinum Max Order – Still No Shipment

    @imm009 My 2024 Limited SPP is Dark Matter. It's very dark, but not black. In bright sun, you can see silver, gold, blue, and green metal flake in the paint.

    What kind of deals is everyone getting on leftover 2024s?

    Use the dealer's financing to get a better deal then pay off the note in a few months.

    What kind of deals is everyone getting on leftover 2024s?

    I've driven vehicles that had sat on the lot so long that the brake rotors were too rusted for the pads to clean off the rust. I wouldn't buy a vehicle like that. The Expedition I bought appeared to have been driven frequently.

    Shift solenoid

    If this solenoid is inside the transmission, they will have to drop the pan which means changing the fluid. If it were me, I'd have them change the filter, too. If your Expedition is a 2018-2022, I think I'd have them replace the valve body while they are in there. Some of the issues with these...

    What kind of deals is everyone getting on leftover 2024s?

    My 2024 was built in November 2023. It was used by the dealership VP as his personal vehicle and had never been titled. It also had been used as a loaner and it had sat on the lot quite a bit. I bought it in January 2025 as a new vehicle with about 3,400 miles on it. I got $8,000 in Ford...

    Might be less expensive and less hassle to have it wrapped.

    What was Ford thinking by adding back in the tailgate?

    Ford has had experience with this, too. Lincolns in the 1980s and 90s had air suspension. Seems like a lot of them failed due to the air bags developing leaks. If there were lots of warranty claims, Ford may still be feeling the pain. What we need a hydropneumatic suspension like Citroen and...

    2025 APR 18 Update on My 2025 Expedition Platinum Max Order – Still No Shipment

    Have you considered canceling the order and starting over? Painful, but you might actually make some progress.

    2025 APR 18 Update on My 2025 Expedition Platinum Max Order – Still No Shipment

    Ford will not tell you what the issue is as they don't want keyboard warriors and YouTubers blasting them online. I don't blame them. Since the assembly line does not deal in individual electronic components, the "chip" reference is probably actually a module that is in short supply. And, when...

    What was Ford thinking by adding back in the tailgate?

    The upper part of the tailgate on the 2025s is any color you want as long as it's black. The lower part is body color in every image I've seen. I have a sister who was a customer service rep for Ohio Bell Telephone back in the 1960s. The standard Western Electric Model 500 desk telephone that...

    No Remote Start for Early Models

    From the 2025 Order Guide released 10/24/2024: Tremor standard equipment Platinum equipment group 600A These are the only places where Phone as a Key is mentioned in the Order Guide. I have no idea why this feature is so restricted. If I was buying a Platinum, I'd be pissed if myself or my...

    '25 Owners...Thoughts and Impressions

    As an FYI, Ford invited several car reviewers, both print and video, to a "launch event" in Kentucky. As is often the case with these events, the stories and videos are "embargoed" until a certain date. I noticed several of the automotive YouTubers that I follow all have Expedition videos that...

    GLOVE BOX OWNERS MANUAL

    Don't forget that you have two glove boxes plus the console plus the map pockets on the backs of the front seats. Now that we've been talking about it, I may search for a tablet that fits one of the glove boxes just for this purpose. I could keep Forscan Lite on it, too, in case I want to look...

    Smaller Wheels for Softer Ride

    Shouldn't need to if you buy the correct tire size. A Limited Stealth comes with 285/45R22 tires which should have a revs/mile of about 629. Switch to the standard Limited size of 275/55R20 and the revs/mile should be about 632 which is about 0.5% greater. Switch to the standard XLT size of...

    Plastic (cracked) Valve Covers…Really Ford?

    Plastic valve covers? Say it ain't so! An old friend used to work for a supplier to Cummins. They started using plastic valve covers, and plastic oil pans, on Cummins Diesel engines over 20 years ago. Ford Tech Makuloco has talked about the plastic valve covers on the Ecoboost V6 engines...

    In production.

    Going to Texas, my gut feeling is that your new Expedition will be loaded onto a railcar at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville KY. If KTP has chucked out enough Expeditions, Navigators, and Super Dutys going to the same general location, that entire railcar may move to Texas intact. If...

    GLOVE BOX OWNERS MANUAL

    Consumer electronic devices have been shipping without owners manuals for many years. Think about the last TV or smartphone you purchased. Did it come with a manual? Consumer electronics manufacturers have figured out that people don't read owners manuals so they don't print them and include...

    ACC speed resetting

    Adaptive Cruise Control starts talking about Speed Sign Recognition on page 287 in the 2024 Owners Manual. Speed Sign Recognition starts on page 333. There may be something in there that will help sort this out. I somehow got mine to act as you describe, but I didn't want the speed signs...
