    Rear locker vs 4L

    When people are concerned about economy, I always laugh at the people who respond "who cares it is a big SUV!" It is one of the reasons I chose the Expy over other more reliable brands. YMMV. Anyway the mileage loss with the 3.73s is minor--and may even save you some gas as it does not need...

    2019 less than 11000 miles and 3 out of 4 shocks leaking?

    I've been scared to poke around under my Ex. It has been riding a smidge rougher lately and I' m wondering myself... Either way I have the Bilsteins ready to go but still. I owned a Tahoe for over 90K and never even considered it needing shocks. Or brakes for that matter... For the guy who...

    Honestly, I don't recall the install much. I uses to do a lot of "how to" stuff but I remember it being not that hard and I think the only thing I recall was just cleaning surfaces of existing grit. I've also gone from zero humidity, to high humidty and salt air, and now to roaming the East...

    5.0 twin turbo coyote??

    I get why everyone wants a 7 million HP truck that can jump Godzilla for 1-point 90 million dollars... I've owned several 500-700+ hp cars and sedans. WHAT I can't understand is why Ford can't build the SUV I REALLY WANT.

    Stupid Crappy Underbody Protection!

    OK, someone correct me if need be here... I think what people are calling "skid plates" are really sound deadening and aerodynamic add-ons, right? Yes they may provide some protection against direct strikes from certain bouncing road debris but they are certainly not metal plates, right? And...

    Disappointing 4WD performance on snow.

    Welcome to the gentrification of almost all mainstream trucks (especially SUVs). The tires that are selected for your milquetoast 4x4 vehicle when new? I can't--but feel like I can--almost guarantee when chosen by the parent company, purchased and installed bulk at the factory--overall traction...

    Extended Wheel Lug Studs for Wheel Spacers?

    My love/hate relationship continues, so not investing anything in it big right now. Close to the last straw was drilling down on the "water forwarding depth" of a Florida rain puddle and freshly reminded of how weak this (and others) are as an off-road platform. So I am keeping the stock...

    Any1 Flat-Towing / Recreational Towing (Expy)?

    I don't know why more vehicles don't offer this. I almost feel every Jeep sold allows this--and it is a nice feature for the Expy, considering so few offer it and I feel like I might utilize this one day.

    Extended Wheel Lug Studs for Wheel Spacers?

    Lou, that could be it too, since the F450 has a wider track (than the 350) and it allows for a significantly better turn radius. It might have several benefits, to include handling, aerodynamics or all three... That being said, I may just go with 5mm front & rear in the end since I am getting...

    Extended Wheel Lug Studs for Wheel Spacers?

    8131, DWs and Spiderman (note my *belief* means I do not have hard Expy facts--only well-intended assumptions): 1. I am raising my truck 1.5 inches all-around at this time. I am operating under the *belief* that when you lift our particular rigs via shocks or suspension spacers, it causes the...

    Cargo Cover?

    I can't imagine how one builds an SUV and does not have one, even as a "dealer installed" option.

    Extended Wheel Lug Studs for Wheel Spacers?

    Wheel Lug Studs? Is there a common source for them? I'd like to add some quality replacements to go with some mild spacers for nothing more than a general peace of mind.

    Anybody Have a source For Bilstein 5100s in Stock?

    From the two Amazon sellers? 2-3 weeks IIRC for both sets, and I checked the SKU# like 10 times for each...

    Cargo Cover?

    Is there a retractable cargo cover available for our gen? From 2nd row seats backward?

    Anybody Have a source For Bilstein 5100s in Stock?

    I cancelled mine and went with Amazon for $80 more, which was two sets from two different companies. I have a 6,500 mile trip coming up where I can't afford to have anything go wrong so may hold off on the install for the next 2 months. Not happy with either, but whatevs...

    What Technically Limits The Expy/F150 'Water Fording' Depth?

    What Technically Limits The Expy/F150 'Water Fording' Depth? Please let's keep this thread clear of the usual warnings of going through water and just limit it to the technical as to what limits these two platforms... Here are the facts as I have read repeatedly: 1. Ford says water is not to...

    Upgrades to Expedition

    And can we guess it will NOT fit in the spare tire well. What if deflated?

    Upgrades to Expedition

    Man it looks good and has me rethinking my whole program... again---If you can--Picture Request: More of the front and rear poke and if you could show where it would touch up front? From top down?

    DWs, how wide is that rim?

    Just snapped an end link

    Sorry :-( All American cars and trucks are built for today, not tomorrow. And Ford vomiting all over your warranty even if it is clearly their design flaw for the simplest mods may depend on your dealer. But, this is one of the reasons I have been so hesitant to change even tire height and...

    Mudflaps--yes I would say so even if you have running boards. I have Weathertech and was happy with ease of install, however it looks like it can accumulate debris behind the flap--which may not be a big deal. If you add taller/wider tires, it may rub--but this may be the same with any bolt on...

    '20 rattling waste gate?

    20 hear. I get noise on startup, almost since the beginning but it does go away. I will note it with Ford, and when they don't do anything recall they were made aware of it and did nothing if something bigger goes wrong. With the list of things growing, Toyota may get my $$$ after all.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Set up a meeting a warranty meeting at Ford for: 1. Rear Camera intermittent (since new) 2. Driver Window makes noise, full up as if over-travelling (since new) 3. Cold startup rattle/noise (since new) 4. Transmission Recalibration? A. Cold start RPMs hang high, causing a slight...
