    Speed control Question (Ford Rep Please Advise)

    I tow a 4500 lb boat about 1500 miles every year with my 2011 Expedition. Truck tows great. I have noticed the following. I usually drive by foot using the customary Tow/Haul feature. If I want to rest my leg and use speed control for a while, when I engage it the transmission instantly...

    Question about Trans Fluid Change

    On All these 3rd generation Expeditions they just have the plug and no filler tube as most of us know. I have an after market dip stick and filler tube but have not installed it because when you take out the plug without the engine running fluid drains out, So I thought I would wait till I do a...

    P2197 code

    2011 XLT 5.4 with 20k miles. Only the one code. Cannot find any vacuum leaks. I am thinking it must be the oxygen sensor. Drive ability has not really changed other than a sometimes a very slight rough idle. Any trouble spots I should look for in the vacuum system. With the low miles all...

    Leaking Struts again !!

    All 4 struts replaced under warranty at 5000 miles. Now at 20000 miles 3 of the 4 are leaking with one being an oily mess. Don't know what FORD is using for these struts but my experience says they are not much good. As the strut leaks the ride is going away as well. Truck is a 2011...

    Power folding mirror update (not a good result)

    Anyone purchase the Kool Vue mirrors. They look pretty good but are packed terrible. One was damaged and was replaced. The way they are packed it is a wonder any of them get anywhere in one piece. Made in Taiwan. So I did the research and found that you should be able to purchase a ford...

    Folding Mirrors Again ??

    Come On Guys. Surely there is someone who has done this on a 2007 or later Expedition which didn't originally have them. I understand about the differences in wiring if the truck did not come with folding mirrors but with the proper switch in the door. I would think you would only need to add...

    Folding Mirrors ??

    I know this has been addressed before, but I have not been able to find specific information about internal wiring on my model. Can you install folding mirrors on a 2011 Expedition XLT with existing wiring and just changing door switch?

    Infamous mini dipstick

    Just checking out the baby dipstick that so many are aware of on these newer expeditions. I removed the plug per instructions to access small plastic dipstick to check fluid level and fluid immediately began to run out. Truck had been setting for several hours and all fluids were cold...

    Oil Cap Buildup ??

    Curious situation on my 2011 Expedition. I drive about 5 miles to work every day one way. After having fresh oil and filter installed before winter, when changing this spring, when I took off the oil cap it was full of a light tan whipped cream substance. Clearly a mixture of oil and moisture...

    Shocks / Struts

    Love my 2011 XLT - Just got to 5000 miles. Rotated tires and found that all 4 shocks / struts are leaking. A couple pretty bad. Took to dealer and they confirmed. All 4 being replaced. Ford must have got a bad batch of shocks from manufacturer when mine was built. Anyone else see this??

    Hypertech followup

    I got the Hypertech tune installed in my 2011. Can't tell a lot of difference in daily driving but I do drive it real easy with only about 4 miles to work. Changed the shift firmness to 25% firmer. Can tell a slight difference there. Will probably have to wait till next summer to really...

    Vinyl Color Touch up

    Unlike the vinyl / plastic parts on my 2000 expedition which were color thru, the plastic parts in the cargo area of my 2011 seem to have a painted type of finish on them which can scuff or can be scrapped off. Does anyone know if there is a touch up paint available for the Camel interior...

    Head Rest Adjustment

    I thought I saw the thread on this forum but can't find it now, but thanks to those who posted the adjustment procedure for adjusting the head rest back to a much more comfortable position. Bending the rods took some effort but well worth it. Much more comfortable ride. Especially when...

    After Market Tuners

    Transmission Service ??

    I have not been able to get my Ford Manuals yet so I was wondering - Since my 2011 XLT does not have a dip stick on the Trans. When you drop the pan to change fluid and filter, How do you put fluid back in ?? And is there anyone who makes a kit to replace pan with one which has the dip...
