    Another possible delay

    Derailments happen frequently. If there's no hazmat, no injuries, and no significant damage to property, the Federal agencies typically do not get involved. The railroads clean up their mess and/or bring in contractors to do so and get back to moving freight as quickly as possible. From the...

    Another possible delay

    No hazmat reported in this derailment. CSX and their contractors, including RJ Corman which is located in nearby Nicholasville KY, will, lift/push/drag the derailed rail cars out of the way, tear out damaged track, level the roadbed, set in pre-made track panels, hook everything back up, and...

    Another possible delay

    A CSX train on what is known as the LCL Subdivision between Louisville and Cincinnati has derailed near the Ford Kentucky Truck Plant where Expeditions, Navigators, and Super Duty trucks are assembled. Unknown if there were new Expeditions loaded on these rail cars; any finished vehicles on...

    Replaced factory RT1252 with RT1258 today

    Looking at that list, they are all smaller vehicles than Expedition/Navigator/F150 vehicles. It's possible that there are packaging differences that force a difference in design of the thermostat housing. It's also very possible that the cooling systems on these smaller vehicles are different...

    Time to hire some new software people at Ford?

    There are dumber software issues related to speedometers. In my Durango, you could switch between a digital speed display (numbers) or a graphic representation of an analog speedometer. The problem was that the needle in the graphic representation was one tick off. You could have the cruise...

    3rd Row & cargo area lights

    As far as I know, the only controls for the 3rd row are the buttons accessible when the lift gate is open.

    Replaced factory RT1252 with RT1258 today

    Thank you for pointing this out. For the reasons you state, the ability of the cooling system to keep the engine cool has more to do with the design of the radiator and other cooling system factors than a thermostat that opens more quickly. These "cooler" thermostats open sooner as the engine...

    New software just dropped

    I got the update, too. Doncha love the "release notes"? Dashboard alerts with "enhanced clarity"? "Software updates are designed to help make your vehicle better over time." Uh, how much time are we supposed to wait for these betterments?

    Software Update

    I got an update Thursday also. The update did change some settings. I was able to adjust the display brightness using the adjustment buttons next to the headlight switch.

    Condensation from catalytic converter?

    Sounds like the muffler. Many mufflers have small weep holes in them to let the condensation drain out.

    Condensation from catalytic converter?

    Left corner? I thought the rear HVAC was on the right (passenger) side.

    Condensation from catalytic converter?

    It's probably condensation. One of the byproducts of combustion is water vapor. When the vapor hits a cool surface, it condenses into liquid water. Are you sure you were looking at the catalytic converter and not a muffler? I believe that the exhaust on the Expeditions comes out of the turbos...

    Who’s getting a ‘25?

    When newly-assembled vehicles leave the assembly line at most auto plants, the vehicles go to a large parking lot where they sit and wait for transport. The rumor is that some vehicles at Kentucky Truck Plant were damaged by hail. Here's a link to Google Maps for the transportation contractor...

    The Great air filter debate - my findings & observations

    Hence, all those ads in the back of Popular Mechanics magazine for 100 MPG carburetors that the Detroit car companies don't want you to know about. Extra points if you dress a male model in a white lab coat to show the carburetor in the ad.

    The Great air filter debate - my findings & observations

    An increase in fuel economy from 13 to 18 MPG is about 38%. That's huge when you consider that vehicle engineers spend thousands of dollars chasing a few percentage points of fuel economy increase. Now that you've shown us the results of your fuel economy tests, show us the results of your...
