    rear differential locked

    Not a surprise given a true locker does not excel on pavement, it is really for when you have severe axle articulation etc. Ford probably figures the use case of the F-150 (being on job sites etc) needs a “go or no” condition vs the in between. To be honest the Expedition is just better in snow...

    What to do??

    Ford really screwed the pooch on the King Ranch Expedition getting rid of the two tone paint. Can that even be called a King Ranch? Lol. My vote is the stealth

    Thinking of supercharging the 5.4 2v

    I’m not saying he can push 800 HP out of a 5.4, my only point was hyper pistons hold up just fine to boost. Both the 3.5 EcoBoost and 5.0 V8 run hyper pistons in their stock form. If he keeps boost in the tolerable range, the engine will live a good life on high octane fuel.

    Thinking of supercharging the 5.4 2v

    Hyper pistons are fine, people get 1000 HP out of stock 3rd and 4th gen 5.0L Coyotes on stock internals reliably. I’m putting a Whipple on my 2023 F-150 5.0L V8 in May and I’ll be running in the 750 horsepower range. This guy has the gen 3 Whipple on his, putting 855 HP down at the wheel. Stock...

    Rocker panel rot - leak source?

    Both my 2007’s rotted out at the rockers

    rear differential locked

    I am curious if Ford could do a pin system on the Expy? Perhaps maybe even a Torsen rear may be a better solution? There are obvious differences in axle tubes vs CV axles, but they run a Torsen front end to lock the Tremors. I am sure glad I optioned the locker, in May I am installing a stage 2...

    rear differential locked

    The issue with the Expedition is that they are really calling an LSD a “locker”. The locker in my F-150 operates off an electromagnetic ball ramp mechanism that pushes several (10) locking pin bars into matching holes on the back of the side gear housing, which locks the axle. Very robust (and...

    Hybrids Confirmed

    Hoping they expand it. Many of us on the F-150 14th gen forum have been begging Ford to make a hybrid version on the 5.0 V8 but they don’t seem to want to. It would be the perfect towing machine. The 5.0 is great on gas when towing, and the electric supplementation would add sufficient low end...

    2009 Expedition EL 5.4 wont crank and cant shift out of park

    Try and shake the ignition key in the cylinder when you turn it over. Very common for the switch to get faulty at this age.

    Not all 10R80 CDF drums are created equal.

    Didn’t Ford add a new nibbed version so it cannot shift anymore?

    Need opinions on 2014 and 2015

    Both engines have very similar issues, all timing chain related. Gen 1 EB are prone to stretch the chain and 5.4 are prone to blowing out the chain tensioners. To be honest with you looking back…..I might have even better off with the EcoBoost in that last Expy. My first 5.4 was great, no...

    The forum should add a thumbs down button. I have a few posts from you I’d like to use that on still. If you guys are taking requests.

    Oh boy….The wolf has risen. Where did stamp go? Loki maybe push to get video media etc hosted on here like alot of the newer forums out there lol! F150Gen14 lets you post video media, delete posts, has trending topics, and posts banners etc for your threads.

    Swapping 4.10s into '23?

    The 5.4 3V had more off idle grunt than any current half ton engine from Ford from 500-1,500 rpm. It’s that 4.2” piston stroke, lots of leverage on the crankshaft. That’s what you feel immediately out of the gate, but anything over 1,500 and the ecoboost torque surges way above the 5.4L. Are you...

    Platinum - 400HP Rating?

    There are trade offs. HO gives up significant low end torque, the Raptor 3.5 makes significantly less low end torque than its predecessor 6.2 V8. To achieve higher top end power the turbo needs to spool later in the rev band.

    CDF Failure - Dealer is Rebuilding Trans 2019 Expedition 41k miles

    My 2023 F-150 has had occasional clunky shifts from 3-4-5 since day one, has good days and bad days. The downshift clunks when coming to a stop are nasty at times in the AM. Other than that it’s smooth…..lol.

    VCT Replacement

    You do need to remove the valve covers for 2007+

    RIP: 2019 expedition finally died today in the middle of the road - UPDATE blown engine @ 29k miles

    I would not say that expectation is correct out of new buyers globally. Many plan to and should get long vehicle life with good maintenance, freak accidents happen as do mistakes though. I hope to get 200-250k out of my 2023 F-150 5.0L V8. Can’t speak on the EcoBoost as I’m not as well educated...

    1181 engine hrs, 161 hrs idle, 63500 km , 5 recorded oil changes (+1). what does that tell you?

    Saying change the oil more to avoid these issues is like saying a 5.4 3V will be ok if you change the oil. It won’t. It’s still dealing with oil supply and weak parts issues (18-20). It’s still going to break. Keep a phaser fund, even if you change the oil every 10 miles.

    this never really been resolved?

    Sounds like maybe clogged up catalytic converters backing up exhaust fumes on WOT runs. Why have they not replaced the fuel injector on #5?

    This will likely be my last ford

    Lol, I don’t see any political debate

    This will likely be my last ford

    Everything is on back order with Ford. Ford did a pretty awful job at managing their supply chains. We are well passed covid, it’s time to catch up.

    Broken exhaust studs? 3.5 EB

    I would fix the 2017, the 2008 is a pretty old truck at this point. Ford has released updated parts. I do not know why Ford used such crappy OEM fasteners on the 3.5 EcoBoost and 5.4 Triton exhaust manifolds. They both tend to corrode and pop the studs in half after corrosion takes place...

    Felt belly pan keeps coming loose.

    2021 was the updated 4th gen 5.0L release so used ones are out there now. Going from either a 5.4 or 3.5 Eco 3rd gen Expy to a newer 5.0 F-150 will be a large improvement in power and acceleration. I think you’d be pleased.

    Felt belly pan keeps coming loose.

    My 2023 F-150 with the 5.0L V8 is packaged nicely, so I think Ford has woken up (at least on the F-150 front). Everything under the hood is in reach, no stupid felt belly pan covers, and a steel oil pan with a steel drain bolt that is easily reached.
