    Pinion seal leak. 21 w/ 20k miles

    Recently went through this. Not the worst job to do if you're handy and have the tools. I had to do mine twice as I think the underlying issue was the bearing was going bad creating a little bit of oscillation. This was originally unnoticeable. First job was just to do the seal and I did the...

    Overheating - 2018 4x4

    This is your transmission gauge and it basically reached a critical point for temps. You talk about new T-stat, etc., what are your ECT's? There may be a bigger problem at hand unrelated to the cooling system.

    increase drl brightness expedition platinum 2018

    I believe you can in Forscan. F-150 is a pretty similar platform and *most* mods carry over. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/drl-led-bar-brightness-boosted-using-forscan.7091/

    Red Light Runner Crash

    Glad to hear everyone is OK. Sucks that it had to happen so far from home, such an inconvenience! I would bet this is totaled out. On the topic of the IIHS, it really is scary and inexcusable that Ford would fail the overlap test in this day and age. I had my bumper off recently, and was...

    Fuel filter.

    Part of the fuel pump housing. Not serviceable unless the sending unit goes bad. Are you having issues to need to replace it?

    How to access Front turn signals on 2021 Max

    You got to get to the headlamp bulbs from the wheel well liners. Turn the wheels in and remove the 5.5mm bolts to pull the liner back and you'll have access. It's the only way to do it.

    Switchback LEDS in turn signals

    This is all kosher. 1: DRLs are not federally required in the USA. Some states have requirements based on conditions and time of year (I.e. wipers on lights on). 2: The forward lighting on the car only cannot mimic that of emergency responders (red and blues). 3: Any other lighting such as...

    Sounds Good Stereo Door Block Off Plate Install

    Negative. Have the base Sync3 with the 4.3” screen. This would be a benefit for all trims regardless, probably even more so with the better equipment of the B&O. What will be the same regardless is the lack of sound deadening in the doors and sound improvement from the plates.

    Sounds Good Stereo Door Block Off Plate Install

    To improve my stereo’s sound quality, I came across Sounds Good Stereo’s door panel block off plates for the Expedition. I was going to apply sound deadening to my doors as it were, and these seemed to be the perfect addition to that project to help tighten up the mid-bass sound...

    cargo liner full one piece for 2024 XLT

    Probably not the total solution you are looking for, but I had the WeatherTech cargo mat before I got the Ford third-row folding mat. I still keep the original mat to use when I have the second row folded down and need to get stuff such as lumber or yard material that I still don't want to soil...

    Time for a vehicle wrap. Anyone know photoshop?

    Very interested in how this turns out. I've had the same thoughts with my black truck. One thing I haven't looked into it the cost of a complete wrap, I've heard that this can get into the $5k - $6k realm? Also, what is the realistic longevity of a wrap and how do they hold up to road rash...

    Does anyone recommend a specific unit to Upgrade stereo keeping Factory CD changer function 1998 EB?

    In today's world this is a feature that has gone the way of the Dodo. Unfortunately you will not find anything that will mate to your stock changer. Even still, back in the day you really couldn't get different setups to work together. Today's world is all about streaming music via BT or...

    How to align steering wheel?

    OK, that's more detail to go on. Yes, definitely replace the tires first. Wearing tires can definitely affect the alignment as well as hitting a pothole as well.

    How to align steering wheel?

    If the car tracks straight and that wheel is off with no further play, chances are that the last tech that did the alignment did not center the wheel well when doing it. I'd start by going to a shop and telling them your concern so that the tech is focused on getting that right. Otherwise a...

    4A binding on 22 Expedition Timberline

    You should be able to drive 4A anytime you want. The binding is definitely indicative of the center differential locked up and not allowing the drivetrain to freely move. Dealer saying that you shouldn't drive it unless in rain & snow sounds like a cop-out answer or they don't really know what...

    Door Keypad upgrade?

    Interesting, never thought of that. I would assume the constant smudging and swirl marks from constant touching are a thing of the past? That would also kind of be a safety feature too since the keypad doesn't have a securescreen feature (random #'s pressed before the actual code) to deter...

    Rear brake pads worn

    I have a base model XLT, no ADAS systems whatsoever. My rear pads were completely worn down when I replaced them vs. the fronts at about ~80% life. So I don't think anything like AAC or Lane Keeping has any bearing on this symptom. I have heard that the brake system in these trucks are more...

    FORScan programming options

    I changed mine to six flashes. I did mine via the Hexidecimal as-built method. Looking into this again (F-150 forums), looks like you can do it through the comfort mode.

    Icon F150 Tremor for Timberline

    You need to start a build thread of what you got going on! More so, everyone's going to be asking (including myself) what you had to do to make that Ironman front bumper work besides just trimming that front bumper panel.

    Rear Defrost Tab and ESP

    If you have a steady hand at soldering, I would try it yourself. Really isn't a reason everyone getting the glass replaced unless the conductors have somehow suffered excessive damage.

    2018 Max Platinum 4x4 - Maintenance Reccomendations

    You do not gap them, they are pregapped. There's even a warning not to. Most of these newer non-copper plugs are like this these days. You can double check them to ensure that they are close to spec or all even, but due to some of these newer exotic materials used, the spark characteristics...

    Radar Detector Mirror Wiring

    I tried one of those dashcam adapters for my Escort since it's really nice and clean looking, but my RD runs on 12v instead of the USB 5v and didn't work. Went back to the original mirror taps. Just something to keep in mine with those harnesses.

    70mph + vibration

    Another discreet culprit could be the front pinion bearing. I just replaced my front pinion seal due to it leaking with the help of an experienced mech friend of mine. We pulled out the oil slinger and pinion bearing while at it to inspect and all looked good. When we put the nut back on and...
