    Ordered an air intake!

    Improving the top end gains, will be limited by the factory single exhaust. The factory cams/VCT and compression are for low end torque, towing, fuel savings(eco part of boost) and run on 87 octane. Ford engineers designed the engine to meet Obama's crazy CAFE, that Trump changed. This is not a...

    Ordered an intercooler!

    This should set a soft code, for voltage/ambient temp. Ford reduced the size of the intercooler after 2017. They were having damp weather power loss. They added shutters for condensation issues and to increase in MPG.

    Ordered an intercooler!

    Sooo... I noticed in your floor mat thread, you drive a Explorer, not an Expedition. Weren't you bitching about hijacking this forum? In my book, the wife's car is the wife's car. Oh by the way the HELLCAT SRT is a high performance track 717hp car. You can't compare it to a Ford Expedition SUV...

    Ordered an intercooler!

    Glad you can 'fact check'. You probably had no idea about the Dodge AC system, until you googled it. Way to go. It's not the same as an intercooler.

    The Hellcat uses the cars air conditioner, and not for cool down.

    Ordered an intercooler!

    What wrong with the factory intercooler Ford installed? Your saying Ford designed and installed an engine that can't run in hot weather. How much power does cooler air make? The intercooler lowers the temp of the hot compressed air off the turbo. 100+ degree air does burn 87 octane well. The...

    Ordered an intercooler!

    You bet if I posted a question about adding Nitrous to my Expedition, there would be responses questing my sanity.

    Ordered an intercooler!

    You Ecoboost guys are babies and can't take any criticism. I am sorry, putting an aftermarket intercooler on a 2018 Expedition to get a few(maybe) HP is silly. It's a 5000lb SUV. The engine/camshaft is designed to tow and save gas, not race. It has tiny 2" turbos and single exhaust. It's a...

    Ordered an intercooler!

    I think you are give bad advice and are a condescending know it all. I own a Mustang GT. A vehicle that gets 'mods' more than most Fords. Plenty of owners blow them up and then want Ford to pick up the tab. Ford does not fix them, they consider it abuse. You sir, are dreaming. I didn't touch...

    New Mats - Love Them!

    h What's up with pink trim? Yikes!

    Ordered an intercooler!

    This is an Expedition Forum and you are not the moderator. You Expedition, 'racers' amuse me, that's why I read your threads. BTW, Mod friendly? Yeah OK. The only MODS covered by Ford, are Ford Racing and dealer installed.

    power steering fluid change

    Waste of money. I work for a company that uses E450 superdutys. They go 200K+ and never get power steering or transmission fluid changed.

    New Mats - Love Them!

    My uncle says, expensive floor mats only keep the carpet nice for the next owner. Those mats would get trashed with snow or salt on them.

    Ordered an intercooler!

    So...your tossing your warranty out the window for a bit more power? A new Ecoboost engine is like $9000 This isn't a sports car.

    Battery drain

    My CD changer had a jam and kept trying eject.

    Stalls when AC turned on, after loud noise...

    This isn't just a part change. The front and rear hold about 4lbs of refrigerant. It's not cheap($60/lb). A shop will use a machine to vacuum it out, and hold it. Using band aid products like AC PRO, are not ideal. There is air in the tube between the can and AC port. Every time freon is added...

    Ordered an air intake!

    You can tune the 5.0l in the Mustang for the drop in K&N. Without a tune, the computer will just adjust fuel trim, to compensate for the additional airflow. I am getting about 18.6mpg in my 2011 Mustang. I was getting around 18.1 before. The wide open throttle response is incredible.

    Ordered an air intake!

    Light coat of oil and leave it in the sun to soak in. Touch up any 'light spots'. K&N filters work better a little dirty(sounds crazy). They recommend 50K before cleaning. Save the old filter to use while cleaning and oiling the K&N. Some believe this filter lets grit into engine. SCT tuners...

    Oil catch can for a ‘19 MAX Limited?

    Compressed air gets hot. Hot air, absorbs water. Ethanol absorbs water. Boosted engines dilute oil, with gas. Water vapor, fuel and oil is what gets sucked into PCV. A normal running engine should burn it off. Worn rings and valves, let blow by into crankcase. Excess crank pressure run through a...

    Need your $0.02...

    Sell the whole Expedition as a mechanics special or parts. $1700 is too much for a used 3V engine. Most of them are boat anchors. If you have a second vehicle, shop around for a wrecked donor vehicle. I think the body has to come off the frame to swap engines. It's over 8 hours labor.

    Ordered an air intake!

    I read the EB turbos are 51mm(only 2") Installing a new air box for noise, is one of the dumbist things I heard of in a while. The factory airbox may have an air silencer, that can be removed.

    Oil pump job?

    10W30 is the wrong oil. You may have broken Exhaust manifold studs. They make noise on cold start then expand and seal. Try a better quality oil filter. I have been using Fram Ultra Synthetic. You are brave taking a 200K vehicle, on 1200mi road trip.

    Weird A/C clutch behavior...

    Floor setting on mine, engages the AC compressor. Same thing on the Ford F450 I have driven for work. Dumb.

    I have cam phaser issue :(

    General Motors make a Eco-Tech engine that has similar Cam Phaser and timing chain issues. This design needs religious maintenance. However, The Coyote, has not had a major failure with them. Most of them get run hard in Mustangs. I think Ford knows, people having this issue are maxing out oil...
