    Third Cam Phaser

    Why do people keep buying these land yachts with VVT designs? There's plenty of examples of Ford engines needing repetitive cam phaser jobs. Its a well known defect, and Ford could give two ***** about it except to ward off a class action. They try to squeeze every MPG out of a teeny V6 with...

    2023 expeditions 10k under MSRP

    Yeah well when they relist their ridiculous MSRP maybe I'll consider selling my ole 1st gen with 248,*** miles....then again I don't really want to pay for a VVT rebuild after 60k miles.

    The dreaded front passenger clicking noise

    Installed new Motorcraft exhaust manifold, got it for $65 at some dealership in central Florida online. Purchased stainless steel hardware, and also metal gaskets vs the standard. This I'm sure will hold much better. Sounds nice and quiet.

    Not wanting it to be a head gasket

    would injector(s) cause a "miss" or is it spark plug/COP issue?

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    My brother has a 2018 F150. At 80k he had to do the entire cam phaser /oil pump job. My issue is the VVT design by Ford sucks.

    2018 Expedition Transmission overfilled by Dealer and resulting issues

    I service my truck at a Ford performance shop. They do race mustangs, have a in-ground dyno, fiberglass fabrication shop etc. They do rebuilds every day and are very familiar with the VVT issues i.e cam phasers etc with Fords 5.4's and 3.5's. They suggested I look into a Blazer, Suburban...

    2017 Expedition Frame issue

    It’ll be a rebuilt title. You don’t want an extensive repair.

    Buying new Expedition... Still paying MSRP?

    The best way to buy new is 100% online. Do all your price negotiating online. Have dealerships bid for your business. Heard it here first.

    2008 ford expy (advice needed)

    Uh, why would a truck that looks soooo clean underneath need a new engine? Love to hear this story.

    The wheel nuts for the Expedition 2015 are not compatible with the wheel wrench

    When I lived in Chicago suburbs, I always carried a micro-battery starter/charger, electric tire pump, gloves, spare coat, ear muffs, water, energy bars, spare iPhone charger. I also made sure to check my spare air pressure in the Fall. Ask me how I learned this.

    2015 Ecoboost - Humming from Front Driver Side Wheel in 4A

    Service your transfer case. Also, I don't recommend only doing one axle. Its like doing ball joints or shocks on one side.

    2016 trans fluid service?

    I change my tranny fluid every 50k-70k miles. I now have 248,*** on my 1st gen and I got to 295,*** on my 1992 BMW 735i. I also change the diff fluid every 75k as well as the front transfer case fluid. Oil is cheap, trannys are not.

    The dreaded front passenger clicking noise

    Its a clicky click....no mur, mur nor shimmy. Sounds like a playing card flapping on the spokes of a bicycle. Not super loud, stops when foot off gas. Not the transfer case, Im thinking wheel bearing.

    The dreaded front passenger clicking noise

    My dial has AWD, 4Hi, 4Lo. I never switch it. It’s not suspension because it stops when I take foot off gas pedal and it goes away after 45mph. Noise frequency doesn’t increase in speed faster I go. Stumped.

    The dreaded front passenger clicking noise

    Yep. Just noticed it. Definitely sounds like either IWE solenoid and/or actuator and/or the IWE’s themselves. Are the IWE’s on these built into the hubs or are they separate parts that can be replaced? Holding my breath because if you do one thing then you might as well do a bunch of other...

    First Expedition - 2012

    I'd drain every reservoir and liquid asap including front and rear transfer case.
