    You are still within the powertrain warranty until 60k miles !!

    2018 Exp Max

    The buzzing is a classic IWE bearing/hub failure, assuming you have 4wd. This should be fixed without further delay. For the inconsistent idle, it may be due to old spark plugs that need replacement, but there are many other possible causes. There are multiple sensors on the intake that get...

    Cam phaser DIY Experience

    I don’t think welding will work due to the high torque. Before trying welding or grinding, I would recommend trying a rocket socket rounded nut extractor. These will bite into the bolt head and can take some torque. Oh, and I just realized the correct bit is not a regular TORX. I think it is a...

    Cam phaser DIY Experience

    No impact gun to be used on torque to yield bolts (similar to head bolts). You can zip it out with the impact gun after breaking the torque. Are you sure you are using the correct torx bit?? These can be tricky since a smaller one will still fit but will lead to this damage. Also for...

    20 Expedition Limited 2WD Differential Leak

    Yeah, that’s the pinion seal. This is a tough one and it has to be done professionally. The torque on that flange is very critical and there are single use components that should be changed when the nut is removed to change the seal. Some technicians count the number of threads sticking out...

    Where to buy OEM parts

    The OEM motorcraft water pump and thermostat are both available on rock auto. This will probably be the cheapest option. If the OEM part isn’t available on rock auto, I get from FordPartGiant or any other online dealer store (tasca for example). These online dealer stores may take quite some...

    This will likely be my last ford

    You are still in a good shape, by 90k miles, they will have to dig into the engine to do the cam phasers and replace the transmission due to failing drum. First year production is not a good excuse. Until 2023 they are still using the crappy shocks that leak within a year. And the quality...

    Preparing for doing first oil change myself

    Mine isn’t as easy. First i have to remove the felt underbelly pan that blocks the drain plug, then I have to remove the front skid plate to access the filter. Then the location of the drain plug makes it difficult to not make a mess or get yourself drenched in hot oil. My advice is to cut an...

    Dealer says “shifts are normal”

    Yup, they only pay for the $20 failed part, then pay the dealer for 50% of the time needed for the overhaul forcing the technician to essentially work for free. This puts pressure on the technicians and they rush to get the work completed!

    Intermittent grinding noise, no turns, no brakes

    Did you get your cam phasers replaced?? It sounds to me like cam phaser rattle!! When you start the vehicle in the morning, do you get a loud rattle that stays for few seconds?

    Hi- found this site @ weeks ago as I am having major issues w/ my 18 Expy.

    Yes, they need to perform calibration when the valve body is replaced with the new transmission. They need Ford diagnostic software to do this. I am still against a rebuild since there has been many part revisions over the past few years and many of the old flawed parts are still floating around.

    2021 expedition tranny issues?

    Yes, if engine load is low it will keep up shifting to save gas. In my opinion this is one of the main factors causing issues in these transmissions. Shifts are commanded at low oil pressure and early shifts cause torque converter shudder. I generally use tow mode in town to force it to go...

    electronic locker problems?

    This locker has clutches and a hydraulic actuator presses on them to lock the two wheels. The system has many small components. Ford still requires a friction modifier to be added to the gear oil. I would first try a fluid change with a bottle of friction modifier and see what happens. It is a...

    Hi- found this site @ weeks ago as I am having major issues w/ my 18 Expy.

    Don’t rebuild. Just buy a new unit for $3500 from Ford. There are issues with the CDF drum, valve body, torque converters, shift solenoids, and park mechanism. Unless your rebuilders really know what they are doing (which is almost impossible these days), they will neglect something and you...

    Trans fluid change that won't end..... Rant alert

    The filter is not integrated into the pan, so unless the pan was damaged during removal, there is no need to replace it. Similar to a plastic valve cover, if not warped or damaged, you can reuse. That said, it may be tricky to remove a stuck plastic pan without damage. I broke two valve covers...

    Transmission rebuilt on 2019 Expedition by dealership

    I think if you were able to reach the dipstick yourself, you should buy a $10 fluid extractor and pump some fluid out. Do increments of 0.25 quarts until you are at the correct level. If you leave it alone, it will puke it again in the middle of a long drive.

    Help! Trying to diagnose AC issues

    The rear AC unit has been the culprit in many cases. If you didn’t use UV dye, get a refrigerant sniffer.

    Transmission rebuilt on 2019 Expedition by dealership

    I assume you are measuring with the engine idling at operating temps. I am not sure it is overfilled, there are several dipsticks and yours is different than the one in the attached file. I will post the instructions for different dipsticks later today. The main issue with technicians...

    10R80 Fluid Change Project Creep, New PPE pan.

    These pans are still very expensive but pretty cool! I still have couple of other upgrades before this one. By the way, I always extract the fluid from the fill hole using a vacuum pump. I get around 6.5 quarts out using this method. Then dump the same volume back in.

    Joining the Cam Phaser Club! YAY! (ugh)

    The rear a/c evaporator is generally the culprit in many cases.

    Flashing check engine light

    Or also a leaky injector causing misfire. This too can be catastrophic. Next time it happens, open the hood and smell for unburnt gas.
