    Catch can

    I have a JLT separator on my upgraded GT500 and it does catch a little oil. In my case it keeps it from contaminating my supercharger.

    New to us 2012 Expedition. Discovered IWE problem. Could use some specific direction troubleshooting

    There is a TSB for the related hoses cracking said my tech. I just had the hoses replaced along with the solenoid replacement on my 2012. Those hoses and solenoid were about 60-80 bucks. Rides great at speed now.

    Having issues with a noise once car warms up and only while accelerating. Can anyone help

    Is that video somewhere I can hear it? The YouTube link is broken. I also have an intermittent clatter sound that comes on during acceleration up hills around 60mph and goes away if I lift off the gas. Almost like a heavy bag rattling under the left front. After the tech's didn't see anything...

    Ordering parts using online retailers

    I've had great service from Tasca buying discounted online. I started out and go back and forth shopping price with the autonation Ford dealer White Bear Lake Ford in MN. I can drop links but I'm away from my laptop that has the direct links. I have also started with I think it's Friendly Ford...

    Daytime Running Lights - Forscan

    The dealer did some sort of sw updates and now my 2012 has them on. Grrr.

    Freezer Fridge Cooler center console for 2nd row

    You won't be disappointed. The FX has the WiFi monitoring right? I thought it was fun at first then realized I did not need to fiddle with it. My 55 fits down the right side so the lit swings up and to the right. The power plug is on the right on the '12 next to the hatch door (I see yours...

    Freezer Fridge Cooler center console for 2nd row

    This. Some also sell an insulated jacket for them. Sounds silly, but anything to help keep blistering car temps off the unit is good.

    Freezer Fridge Cooler center console for 2nd row

    Dometic. The gold standard and a maker for RVs. Not cheap, but amazingly efficient and work flawlessly. Also monitors bat. level and tuns itself off if battery is at risk. I have a Dometic 55 that lives in the back plugged full time @ 36d. Wouldn't be without it now. #BuyItForLife

    2022 screen

    This I could live with.

    2022 screen

    The 2021 Navi has the almost as bad raised center screen, but not the huge iPad-like one with the knob in the bottom like the spy pics / Mach-e.

    2022 screen

    It would be great if the screen alone was a separate order item- like HD tow. That way I could not select it....

    2022 screen

    I hate that huge screen. I can't believe it is making me re-think moving to another SUV like the Grand Wagoneer instead when I get a new one in the next year or so. Other brands are doing a better job with info screens and even the current F-150 is better.

    Jeep Grand Wagoneer

    Down by the hitch. They already run external connectors there.

    What is the best year Expedition to buy?

    If you tow- the last year of the HD tow with the rear leveling suspension. I just can't get my head around giving up how well my '12 tows to get a new one and have to try and not even replicate the towing functionality with having to add / install Sumo parts. Thumbs down.

    2022 Expy

    That huge screen is hideous. There is no logical reason for one that large. About the size of an iPad would be plenty. The same thing is making me pause on a Mach-e - waiting for the next design update that changes that design. Ford finally found a design element that would stop me from...

    What Could Ford Do Better?

    Why did they move the tail gate button to bottom edge of the door? My wife is not tall and the button to open/close being just inside the door is a big deal. Why did it have to even be moved?

    Panoramic Moon Roof..Good idea or asking for trouble?

    Adaptive Suspension and Towing

    I don't hard core off road that I'd catch a line on something. I'm fortunate that my '99 had no air system issues except replacing the compressor at about the 10 year mark. My '12 has had no issues so far but to me, it's like other things like shocks and struts so replacing them is a...

    Adaptive Suspension and Towing

    Every time I start thinking again about a new Expy, Comments like this remind me how much I appreciate the factory rear suspension air on my 2012. I just towed my shared 24' enclosed car trailer loaded to/from a 2 day track weekend and it just tows so well. I want to give them money but...

    $4k for a new sunroof?

    Common problem with Ford Sunroof systems. My 2012 'roof has a similar failure of the plastic pivot arm and it is just a crap shoot. The word of advice I got ( after the fact ) is to open and close your sunroof often because over time/non use the heat causes the glass to stick very strongly to...

    2017 Expedition Rear Suspension Upgrade?

    I just looked and the only Ford kits they have are for Mustang and Fusion.

    7.3 Godzilla into 3rd gen? Anyone?

    I's say, go find a complete iron block or AL GT500 motor. Keep it a 5.4 and run it (as built) supercharged. Sky is the limit there.

    Air Suspension Restoration

    You could do the work then have a local dealer program/reset it. Then the spend is only tech time vs labor to install. I'm sure they would just program it a similar way if they had to reset/replace onboard suspension modules.

    Air Suspension Restoration

    Oh good, I'm not *completely* crazy. The parts should still exist to put them on the Expy for you. I had these when they were on all 4 corners on my '99 and it didn't even dawn on me to ask/notice it was just the rears when we bough the 2012. A couple months ago I went through the microfiche...
