    Wiper blade replacement for 2015-17

    Does the Dorman 42651 replacement rear wiper arm that worked on my 2010 not work on the later models? I installed this so I can buy/install the cheap standard wipers on the rear: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010DPB00/

    Topping off Orange Antifreeze with Yellow Antifreeze

    It's for gumming up the engine oil cooler on 6.0 diesels, and it's very good at its job. /that was an expensive engine to own

    Regear 2013 Expedition

    Definitely worth test-fitting an axle from your truck into the new front differential before you go through the trouble of dropping the old and bolting up the new. Axles pop out easy; maneuvering that front housing in and out of position in the driveway is a bit of a challenge.

    Regear 2013 Expedition

    My 2010 came with 3:73s but was a bit laggy with 35" tires. Regeared to 4:10s and it drives like stock. Cruises fine on the highway and has plenty of gear when in soft sand. If you're spending the money anyway just do it right.

    Can't figure out what shocks I have. 2017 el max

    I don't mean to laugh but the timing is just amusing. Hope you, the truck, and any passengers are ok. Unlikely worth the cost and complexity of retrofitting Nivomats. I tow with my EL and opted for Bilstein 5100 shocks and some custom rear coils from https://coilsprings.com/ For me the...

    is 2010 Transmission Reseal/Replacement neccesary? You judge.

    As stated above, the quote is suspect. Bulkhead connector is a very common source of what look like pan gasket leaks, and your 2010 will have the old style installed from the factory. Cheap and easy fix.

    Winch mount

    Brush guards tend to be for show and flimsy relative to the need of a winch mount. Winches must be mounted to the frame, so you're looking at either the hidden mount or a full steel front bumper. The hidden winch mount is the least expensive option and will keep the truck looking close to...

    Rear Air suspension issue...

    Regarding bounciness, Bilstein shocks will help. 4600s for stock height, 5100s for height-adjustability. Note that you'll need to scavenge parts from the stock shocks, including spring seats, isolators, and the coils themselves. If the ride height is also an issue you can have custom springs...

    Cat back upgrade?

    I have the Gibson stainless cat-back on my 2010 and it's decent. No noticeable power improvement, sounds a bit throatier than stock, and no droning in the cabin. It's a decent option. When I swapped out the stock stuff I wanted stainless and I wanted no noticeable change in cabin noise...

    2012 Front Struts

    I still haven't swapped out the fronts. 2014+ 5100s in the rear with custom coils and somehow-not-yet-leaking Rancho quick lifts in the front.

    2012 Front Struts

    Nope, but you'll need to cut the mount eye off the end so the perch will slide off.

    2012 Front Struts

    Go to RockAuto and buy part # ASH24732. It doesn't matter what the fitment is because you're only going to cut it up to grab the spring perch and isolator. $35 per shock.

    Help needed in suffolk ny

    yeah you're likely in for a complete timing set. It's not a small job but once done properly your engine should be good for another couple hundred thousand miles.

    Help needed in suffolk ny

    You're more likely to have a flatbed bring it to a shop than have someone come to you. Almost guaranteed to be less expensive as well. Most likely culprits are timing set and/or roller follower. How many miles on the truck and how's the oil change interval been during the life of the truck?

    Open or limited slip?

    Same approach I took. Detroit Truetrac in the rear and Ox locker in the front gives me the best of both worlds.

    2010 expedition el limited tow mirrors

    I've been running these on my 2010 EL Limited since about a year after I bought it and they're great. Installed without issue and all the expected stuff worked (puddle lamps, power adjusting, memory settings, heaters, etc.)...

    Control Arms for Lifted 2015 XLT

    It's not the type of lift but the overall height increase that affects the angles. Less lift will help but the same amount of lift from a different design won't change anything unless that kit includes high-angle components like replacement control arms.

    Control Arms for Lifted 2015 XLT

    The only way to know is to determine where the noise is coming from, otherwise you're just troubleshooting with your wallet. You're welcomed to throw parts and money at your truck but ultimately you need to know what the root issue is.

    Control Arms for Lifted 2015 XLT

    Higher up than the wheel wells? Do you have someone driving the truck (slowly) while you're outside looking around and listening? Full lock metal on metal could be the CV axles but those would be at the wheel centerline. That could be a result of the lift as it puts more stress on the joint...

    Control Arms for Lifted 2015 XLT

    Sounds like your tires are rubbing at full lock. Should be pretty easy to identify visually. The moment you hear the noise, get out of the truck with the wheel still turned in the position that caused the noise and run your hand along the perimeter of the front tires looking for an area of...

    2016 trans fluid service?

    It's not cheap but the convenience is worth it. Also nice having the extra fluid capacity. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bmm-70394/make/ford/model/expedition/year/2016

    Documenting: 2014 5.4l 3 valve early oil pump and tensioners upgrade

    I didn't want to create a thread for this so I'm piggybacking on yours since it's related(ish). Not an upgrade but stock components on the cheap. For anyone that needs to do the tensioners and/or timing set on their 5.4, there's an impossible deal on Amazon right now. Complete Ford OEM timing...
