    O2 Sensor Question

    Thanks for your response, I have watched several Youtube videos on this, and agree it is an easy process. I have been working on vehicles since I was a teenager, however, I do not think it would be that easy for me on my back under the truck, given my current physical limitations. Could you help...

    O2 Sensor Question

    Please excuse this long post, but I am in need of advice, other than burn it and file an insurance claim. I will be trading in my 2014 Expedition 4wd, 80,000 miles, on a Transit based camper van when it arrives in two months. The deal is made and prices settled. Suddenly the check engine light...

    Why is it so hard to find one with bench???

    I really liked the bench in my 2010 EL, and it kept stuff from coming forward with the third row flat. I could not find a bench in the acceptable colors when I bought my 2014 EL, so now I have to rig something to close the gap. When not loading up for camping, a narrow dog crate sits in the...

    Ignoring the tongue weight (max cargo/payload)?

    Another point to remember. Over 30 feet will keep you out of some national and state parks. Also over 30 feet can be very difficult to find a gas station and pumps where you can get in and out of easily. Just food for thought.

    Factory Brake Controller

    I had a Tekonsha on my 2010 Expy EL. Now have a Expy Ltd. EL with factory controller. Tekonsha worked much, much better and has more adjustment to customize.

    Brake upgrades?

    Ever since front wheel vibration on my 2003 Explorer, I have hand torqued, or demanded hand torqued, lug nuts. The result has been no vibrations in my 96 explorer, 2010 Expedtion, and 2014 Expedition. Do not listen to the guy who says he uses a torque stick on the impact wrench. I hope...

    First Post - Tow Mirror Suggestions

    Muddy bean, I like the looks of these. Can you please post the source and part number. Also I would like to know if the mirrors are flat or convex, and is there much vibration? I would like to stop using my McKesh strap ons, which are excellent and virtually vibration free, but a PIA to...

I have a 2014 Expy EL Limited w/hd towing pkg. and am contemplating going to the Hellwig sway bar if it will significantly improve vehicle handling while towing. I tow a 29ft., 8,000 # trailer with reese wdh and cam anti-sway. Thanks for replies from...

    captain second row to bench seat

    Hey, do you still have the center section and what color is it. I have a 2014 with captains seats because I could not find the one I wanted with a bench. I might be interested in the center section. Thx.

    What was last year of 5.4L on Expy's?

    I agree. As well, subbing boost will increase stress and reduce reliability. For my money, I prefer to keep it simple and stay away from boost. I think it sad the V8 Expedition is no longer available and I will just have to keep my 2014 going forever.:driver:

    Newbie question - CCD or Load Leveling for 7000lb+ Travel Trailer

    I have a 2014 Expy Limited EL. Supposedly my Sunnybrook RL27 weighed 6100 pounds at delivery. The max tongue weight on the Expy with weight distributing hitch is 910#. I bought a tongue scale ( although you can make one with a bathroom scale if you search the web) and after loading the trailer...

    What was last year of 5.4L on Expy's?

    Orange goes in but doesn't come out?

    I had to do this on my 2010 Eddie Bauer EL. I ran a #8 awg externally, underneath. Lots of places to loom it through. It is really easy, quick, and you are sure of adequate power at the plug.

    Bunkhouse Travel Trailer for Behind the '15 EL?

    Have to agree with Bedrck47. Watch the tongue weights, and actually measure it. I tow a Sunnybrook 267RL with my 2014 Expy XL 4wd. The tt overall length is 29.5'. Rated dry weight was 6300 lbs. I bought a tongue weight scale, about $125.00 but you can jury rig a bathroom scale. The...

    Transmission cooler?

    You can get a Scan Guage which plugs into the computer port under the dash. It will tell you the trans temp and three other readouts. I have been using one years. No muss no fuss installation. A little bit to set up, but it does a lot. Also will read out other codes.

    Mechanical Load-leveling rear suspension

    I have a 2014 Expy EL Platinum w/20" wheels, self leveling rear suspension, hd tow pkg. I tow a 7200# trailer with wd Reese hitch. Setting up the wd hitch was a real pain because you cannot turn off the self-levelling feature as recommended by the manufacture. Ford procedure is not practical...
