10W30?
Amsoil is so great...it's not certified with the 'starburst API seal'. It one of the worst marketed products in history. It's available only from so-called 'dealers', aka, out of peoples houses. I noticed the guys on "Street Outlaws', all were using Royal Purple in the race cars. I used Royal...- rjdelp7

Rebuild Top End or New Engine 183,000
The idle problem is not a re-learn. You may have something(gunk behind the plate) causing the throttle body to hang up or a massive vacuum leak- rjdelp7

10W30?
That's incorrect XO-5W20-QSP is Ford part# 5w20/syn blend. The alternative is XO-5W20-QFS 5W20/full synthetic. No mention of a conventional option.- rjdelp7

2021 Expedition news wanted! (needed actually)
93 octane not available in all states. You testing 'theory' is BS. GM wouldn't advertise if it needed it to make the numbers. The 6.2l in Escalade is not different than ones in the other models. Maybe it's a different tune, but power is the same.- rjdelp7

2021 Expedition news wanted! (needed actually)
GM V8s do not need to run 93 octane. I am not acknowledging any 'tuning' nonsense. I am sure the LS could be easily tuned. Stock on stock only. I am am sure your wife is an automotive expert, like you. I would take 355hp and no cam phasers any day. The 2018 Escalade I drove, by no means was...- rjdelp7

2021 Expedition news wanted! (needed actually)
The 6.2l is 420hp The 5.3l is a 'underpowered' 355hp and 6.2l 420hp. Explain how a 375hp (only on premium fuel) is going to eat it. The 3.5l is probably around 340hp on 87 octane.- rjdelp7

2021 Expedition news wanted! (needed actually)
So your OK having hybrid as the 'only' option? How many Expedition owners need a mobile generator? The competition Has 2 V8s and a 30mpg diesel. Who is Ford marketing the Expedition to? Not the loyal base.- rjdelp7

None of the newer Expeditions use 'conventional'. 6,000mi drain interval is for full synthetic and highway driving. I find your post not funny.- rjdelp7

AC Low Pressure Fill Port Not fitting AC Pro
Something most people don't realize. The hose on the 'ac pro', has air in it. You will be adding a shot of air into your AC system. The correct way to add is using vacuum. I would try getting it fixed under warranty. You are just slightly over the miles and under the years. I believe in a saying...- rjdelp7

2015 Coolant Flush
The Ford dealer admitted to me they just drain and fill. They remove the lower hose. A couple of quarts are trapped in the block and lines to rear HVAC. If it's a hot day and engine hot, you may get lucky and the thermostat will be open. That will get most of the coolant to drain. You could...- rjdelp7

Ouch. Big Money Into My Expy...
I worked for a place that uses V10 E450 Superduty. The only thing that gets changed on them is the oil. They go 200K without 'driveline' fluid changes. I don't think a dealer will change fluids on a brand new vehicle, that's under warranty. Changing break in oil at 1000mi, is not recommended...- rjdelp7

10W30?
Ford has issued TSB, that 5w30 is OK in a 5w20 engine(with reduced fuel mileage .2/gal). My 2000, the oil cap says 5w30. In 2001 the same same engine 'calls for' 5w20. Ford dealerships up until 2016, used 5w20 on everything. The same engines in Austrailia require 5W30. There is another TSB...- rjdelp7

Rebuild Top End or New Engine 183,000
To be exact and fair...Jeep Wranglers are upgraded with larger tires, probably more than most vehicles. They usually run better with a different ring and pinion. While it's not exactly a problem, but more of a result.- rjdelp7

I wouldn't of towed that load, in that kind of heat, with that low miles. It's barely broken in. The new transmission, shuts off flow to the cooler, until it reaches a certain temp. They use ULV fluid(ultra low viscosity). The thin fluid runs hotter. Ford claims this rig is capable of towing...- rjdelp7

2013 Expedition with 130,000 miles engine locked up
Not enough info then...I read, end of a 850 mile trip stopped at a light, no warning lights, engine near/close to idle, temp ok and no abnormal sounds, some metal in oil. These engine run with blown chain tensioners and broken guides. The chains rattle like crazy. I have heard it. The OP is...- rjdelp7

2013 Expedition with 130,000 miles engine locked up
My work place had a work truck just die. It was towed to a shop. It would just click, when started. A loose battery cable is all it was. A seized AC compressor will stall the engine. Shut the AC and try to start. Engines don't lock up unless water gets into engine. It's called hydro locked. A...- rjdelp7

What Is Pulling Power From Battery
Purchase a cheap auto bulb socket with wire leads. Put a bulb in it. Disconnect the neg battery terminal. Put one wire on the neg battery terminal and one on the neg cable. The bulb with light bright if there is a drain and dim if normal. If bright, get a needle nose pliers and pull each fuse...- rjdelp7

You V6 Expedition 'racers' are definition of wannabe. Lokiwolf wife's actually owns/drives it. Hope those cam phasers go under warranty. Then there is direct injection pump and turbo line leaks and failures. I will laugh when Ford's Expedition reboot has a V8. The used car lots will be full from...- rjdelp7

EcoBoosts, Fuel, Octane, Ethanol and Tuning...
My friend uses ethanol in his vintage 440 drag strip car. My brother in law used it in his drag boat. They buy it in 55 gal drums. The main reason for using it is price. !00+ octane race fuel is almost $10/gal. Ethanol is around 110 octane and around $2/gal.- rjdelp7
