    Service Advancetrac

    I just had this happen yesterday on my wife's 2011. No lights today though. I scanned for codes and got nothing. Did the dealer ever figure out what this was?

    Thanks, I will have them check on that. It runs like a top when it's below 40 degrees. The warmer the weather, the sh**tier it runs.

    Yes, very easy to install. On a side note. I have been running it since late December without the tune and I really miss it. I have been having some trouble with a missing sensation and intermittent lack of power. The dealer can't seem to find anything. I have left to tune off until they...

    I just wanted to let you know that the tune seems to be working out great. The throttle response is drasticly inproved, the increase in power is very noticeable (it will actually pull a hill now) and the sloppy shifts are nice and firm. I've gone a half a tank and I think the MPG is a little...

    OK...got ahold of Mike at 5 star. This is what I said to him: I have a 2011 Expedition with 6k miles on it. Since new, I have been very unhappy with the lack of power and poor throttle response. On hot days it seems like it won't even pull a hill. When it downshifts, it seems to loose power...

    2011 head rest are the worst!!!!

    All 2011 and newer vehicles have these forward leaning headrests...I don't know why. My wife always ********************ed about the headrests in ours until my Mom just bought a 2012 Traverse. Those are even worse. One ride in the Traverse and it finally shut her up about the headrests.

    Rattle In Dash

    I read something in one of the F150 forums about metal on the dash support rubbing the firewall. Dealers had to take the dash out and grind some metal away. I just hate to have them ripping the dash apart.

    Rattle In Dash

    Spent all day in there and can't find a thing! It think something is rubbing. I noticed it only does it on cold days and/or after driving with the A/c on for 15min or so. Shoved a bunch of foam in there and nothing helped. Also, it only does it on straight aways. If you are turning or going...

    Rattle In Dash

    I have developed a very annoying rattle in the dash behind the glove compartment. The weird thing is sometimes it doesn't do it, then other times it rattles like crazy as soon as you start moving. Any insight? And yes....I checked....it's not something in the glove compartment. (2011 Limited)

    New 2011 owner / throttle question

    I was thinking of using a programmer to improve the throttle response on my '11. Does anyone know if this would help? I was thinking about trying the superchips beacause my friend used it on his '08 Jeep and raves about it. Anyone tried this.....anyone want to be the ginnea pig?:drool:

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    I too get that missing sensation when under load. Dealer claims everything is ok cause no codes, but I've driven others that don't do it.

    "Get up and go" - "Got up and left"

    Programmer Has anyone tired one of theses programmers? My '11 is so sluggish and unresponsive I want to drive it off a cliff! My freind recommended the superchips flashpack. He used it on his jeep and loved it. Has anyone tried this? I'm kinda scared to start messing around with a vehicle...

    "Get up and go" - "Got up and left"

    I have an '11 that is the same way. It also seems to lug up hills and even lose power on slight inclines. We test drove many used '07-'10's before buying this one (some with 80k plus miles) and all of them rode well. Took it back to the dealer and they said "Nothing Wrong"

    Wierd Stuff

    Rick, please keep us posted on your trip to the dealer. Mine does EXACTLY what you described. Stutters and seems like its robbed of power sometimes. Please keep us up to date on what they say.

    Wierd Stuff

    I've had some wierd transmission issues pop up with my '11 Expy and I was wondering if anyone had any insight on them before I take it to the dealer. I don't think any of the TSB's cover the 11's. 1. I get a 200 rpm surge whenever I let off the gas, step on the gas after coasting, step on...
