    Warranty start date

    It can be sold as new and have an in-service date that predates your purchase. The dealer should have disclosed this in the paperwork. If it isn't in there, then I would consult with a lawyer to determine whether this is worth pursuing legal action against the dealer (small claims perhaps).

    Side mirrors

    I was having a lot of trouble sourcing a replacement locally. Most places don't answer the phone or emails. Those that did couldn't physically find the part and despite promises to call me back, they never did. I finally found one on eBay from a white Expedition. Replacing the mirror assembly...

    Goodbye 2012 EX XLT... Thank y'all for your insight over the years

    Probably just the VVT. My '11 has had a little tick for over a decade. I used to drive my Scorpions in deep snow and was amazed at how well they did. They did far better than my Michelins do in snow. I have found the Michelins to be better in every other way though. Most importantly for me...

    2013 Expy Limited

    My '11 EL is nearing EOL and I have looked at several CUVs as replacements. Ultimately though, I think I will end up with another Expedition. I really love this truck and nothing else I've driven compares for me.

    Removing mirror caps

    I managed to pull this off tonight without breaking any of the 4 tabs. I tipped the mirror all the way down to get the first two. The 2 top tabs 2 push up to get over the nub. Then I tipped the mirror all the way up and in to get the outside bottom clip. This clip pushes down. After you get...

    ODBII Reader with Gauges

    I have an ELM327, but ultimately decided to stick with the UltraGauge MX. It looks dated, but it works well and it keeps my phone free. I've been running it for 11 years and the one in my wife's Honda has been running for 12 years.

    Sythetic Oil Shortage Predicted

    It is the result of a reduced supply of oil. Oil refineries have less oil, so they are are focusing on higher-margin products. Like always, it's all about money.

    Transmission upgrade to 6r180

    I've seen posts where people have done it so it's possible, but it seems like a fairly involved project. The 4R70 is cheaper/easier to fix, but the 6R80 is generally considered to be more robust. I have 224k on my 6R80.

    Battery goes completely dead in 2017 Expy overnight once a while

    This can be tough to track down. I had it happen last year and it turned out to be my front passenger door switch. At random points during the day/night, it would trigger as if the door was opening. Lights would come on, then go off. I have no idea how often this was happening, but it was...

    The HORRIBLE steering wheel prevents me...

    Going back 30 years, my Ford steering wheels have all been extremely similar to one another. It would be tough to change drastically now.

    Side mirrors

    Prior to posting, I wasn't able to find info on removing the cap - just replacing the entire mirror. When I search the exact term you used, it came up.

    Side mirrors

    My RH power folding mirror has failed and I'm going to try to get from a junkyard. I have a Limited, so the back mirror cap is painted. The options are limited so I am wondering if the caps are removable (and if so, how involved it is)?

    Automatic stiffening of steering at hi speed?

    No.

    2011 Expedition Blend Door Actuator location

    Not very detailed, but this guy gives an overview of it. Looks like a PITA (like most of these blend/mode door jobs). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-WN1p8sWeg

    Triton 5.4L 3V Engine Reliability

    221k on mine. I think the 2 biggest repairs that I've done were the intake manifold gasket and the water pump. The timing job isn't something I wish to tackle, but I would pay for it if not for the fact that the PA salt is eating her alive. I think she will rot out before the engine goes. My...

    Welp, it finally happened to me.

    There are a whole lot of options in between, but I get it. $8k doesn't go far anymore.

    Welp, it finally happened to me.

    $7,600. :o

    Welp, it finally happened to me.

    I've been expecting mine to need this work done for awhile, but at nearly 221k she's still going. The road salt has eaten up so much of the truck at this point though that I wouldn't put the money into it.

    What to look for when buying a gen3 expy

    The 2-piece plugs are long gone, so removal issues are not a concern. You're not going to gain any longevity by swapping them out way before their time either. It's your nickel, but it's not a turbo and swapping them out every 30k doesn't actually accomplish anything outside of raising your cost...

    Best tires for 2017 Expedition EL

    Michelin Defenders are all I'll buy for my SUVs now. Great on dry/wet and I get 70k miles out of every set. Just so-so in the snow, but it doesn't snow much here anymore. The prices of them are ridiculous though. $305/ea at Sam's Club for the 20" and the rebate on a set of 4 has dropped to $70...

    Safety Recall 25S37 for brakes - it's been a fight! How are you getting repairs done?

    Lawyer or even just go small claims alone if you don't want to invest in pursuing it.

    What did you do to the expy today

    Changed the front passenger door jamb sensor on my '11. Sway bar links this weekend if I feel motivated enough. Just shy of 220k miles.

    The Great air filter debate - my findings & observations

    For comparison, I'm at just shy of 220k miles, 87 octane, original MAF, 5W-20 syn blend, standard Motorcraft oil/air filters, no fuel treatments, 87 octane and a mix of local/highway (~80 mph) driving (more local than highway) ... 16.4 mpg. All of that is to say I don't think anything you've...
