    Changed out halogen for LED today

    I can confirm now that the changes do work, I have had zero flicker from the low beams since I changed the code to reflect use of LEDs and turned off the bulb out detection system. Only issues I've encountered are inferior fogs from Sealight, one is already failing. Swapped out the Sealight fogs...

    Forscan Updates to my 2021 Max XLT

    Not without disabling the Battery monitoring system in forscan, from what I understand. This may result in a permanent warning light being displayed on the dash. Best bet is to look into the auto start-stop eliminator and not attempting it through forscan.

    2019 Expedition XLT - Looking to switch out the stock halogens with either LEDs or HIDs but need advice

    I'm not getting any error messages with the high. low or fogs currently. I did have to change some of the coding in the body control module to eliminate the intermittent flickering that was occurring the with the low beams. Ford has a bulb out monitor and every so often it pulses the current to...

    2019 Expedition XLT - Looking to switch out the stock halogens with either LEDs or HIDs but need advice

    I'm running the Philips Ultinon Pro 9000 9005/HB3 lows, Sealight F2 H11s as fogs and Sealight X1 H9s as my highs. I have a set of Philips Ultinon Pro 9000 H9 bulbs being shipped currently, they were out of stock until this Monday. I'd go completely with Philips bulbs, however the drivers side...

    2019 Expedition XLT - Looking to switch out the stock halogens with either LEDs or HIDs but need advice

    Many do like the Sealight brand; it's sold under several different names actually. I prefer Philips lighting but they're ridiculously expensive and have to be shipped over from a store in the UK. Philips 9005 low beams and Philips H9 high beams from BriScource are my preferred lights. Check out...

    Changed out halogen for LED today

    A quick update on these changes. I made the code modifications this afternoon and on this evenings drive they appeared to remedy the flickering that we get from swapping LEDs in for the stock halogens. I'll update more later this week after I've logged more miles at night.

    Five Star Tuned 2019 EcoBoost Expedition

    The eco tunes will keep you in vacuum longer before you'll see any boost added. I have not seen any noticeable gains in MPG from them. Take this with a small grain of salt as this is my experience with a 2015+ F150 and their economy tunes. I ended up daily driving their adaptive octane tune as I...

    Getting Ready to Tune My Ford Expedition Platinum Max 4X4 w/ Tow Package and 3.92 Gears - A Few Questions

    Catch can is not needed on the second gen 3.5 motors as they use port and direct fuel injection. Also 5-Star is a perfectly capable tuner, they maintain all factory fail safes and their tunes are reliable. Also like many other tuners, you can datalog and send the tune in for modification if...

    2022 Expedition Order Guide attached

    The middle seat is removable, many have done so here. I believe it's just four bolts and it's out. Use the search function to look up the threads where others have asked the question and found out how to remove it.

    Changed out halogen for LED today

    Rob, this has been discussed across many automotive forums before... Like you, I was originally against LED in halogen reflectors and projectors, but now technology has advanced to the point where that argument isn't valid anymore. It's true that there are awful and cheap LED lights out there...

    Changed out halogen for LED today

    I won't be able to test out until mid next week. Here are the addresses and values for the body control module to test, for those that can try it sooner. This all comes from the F150 forum and I believe a lot of the values will carry over to the expedition. 726-26-02 xxxx **** xxxx - Frequency...

    Changed out halogen for LED today

    So I got the new Philips 9005 lights in on Tuesday and installed them yesterday afternoon. They are very crisp with a nice white light and the cutoff is sharp... They suffer the same thing all LEDs in halogen reflectors do and that's the central dead spot in the middle but it's not noticeable...

    CCD WITH WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION HITCH

    Looking at the weights unloaded and loaded, it seems like you need to figure out how to get the bars to transfer an additional 250-300lbs to the front vehicle axle... Also am I reading it correctly that you travel with roughly 520lbs of gear in cargo area of the vehicle? can some of that gear be...

    CCD WITH WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION HITCH

    Can you get the head to tilt anymore or are you maxed out on the head angle adjustment screw? It looks like you're as low as you can go on the provided shank which should be adequate for the height of the trailer tongue... whats the tongue height with the trailer level on the ground? It looks...

    CCD WITH WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION HITCH

    Can you provide photos of the actual hitch setup while hooked up. you're definitely squatting to much in the rear. From the photo angles you provided, looks like you need to move the hitch head down one hole on the shank, if you have any adjustment left on your shank.

    Sand Mode

    Turning the TC off while in 4A won't lock the wheels. Without the ELSD that can electronically lock the wheels under a certain mph, the wheels will independently spin based on the amount of available traction the ground surface provides. From what I understand sand mode produces aggressive...

    Changed out halogen for LED today

    The Sealight highs and fogs have not flickered yet. If you’re running an LED in your low beams and you have the DRLs on then it may flicker without an external driver device designed to mitigate the pulse wave and low voltage draw of the DLRs. Once the Philips 9005 LEDs come in for the low...

    Changed out halogen for LED today

    The high beam bulbs seem worse then the stock Philips halogen that came out… I may end up going back to a version of the Philips Halogen. I’m waiting on BriScource Lighting to get the newer Philips LED units back in stock to order those. Philips LEDs are pricey but it’s a brand I’ve come to...

    E10 vs E5 petrol

    US gas has contained up to 10% ethanol for many years now. you should be just fine running a fuel that may contain up to 10% ethanol.

    Comprehensive 2018+ towing upgrades

    Moog has upgraded end links that may provide improvement over the factory ones. The Hellwig sway bar from what I understand is a stiffer bar with a larger diameter and thicker wall tubing is used vs. the factory sway bar. Hellwig provides new bushings to use with their larger bars.

    4WD Failure in sand (hill assist/descent faults warnings)

    After about 20 hours and multiple short trips around town the warnings cleared. I spoke with an independent shop about the issue, they indicated that sometimes when a vehicle is suspended in the air (tires off the ground struts fully extended), while they do maintenance work, this will cause...

    4WD Failure in sand (hill assist/descent faults warnings)

    New member here. Sorry to resurrect an older post but I recently purchased a certified used 2018 xlt and just had a similar issue occur. Took it out on the Caroline beach, no freeman park 4wd beach. Went out fine parked, the issue occurred on the way off the beach. I hit a few good size ruts and...
