    Is there a difference between an APIM and an FCDIM?

    My Sync 3 died, apparently. Took it to the dealer for diagnosis and they said the FCDIM needs to be replaced. Its my understanding the FCDIM is the panel where the button and knob controls for media and the HVAC system are. They are all functioning. Its the Sync 3 that doesn't work. Is...

    Recommendation for some Beach tires

    Bone stock 2017 hits the OBX 4x4 every year. Never had a problem. Just air down to ~15psi. If all you're doing is cruising you'll be fine, on either the hard pack or the soft sand. I found that when forced to roll through the moguls on a busy day, driving faster, not slower, improves the...

    Engine coolant temp #2 showing -40F

    Just noticed that OBDlink is showing the Engine Coolant Sensor 2 temp as -40F. Pretty sure thats not true. The #1 sensor shows 199F. Is sensor 2 used on the Ecoboost?

    2011 XLT 140k new plugs

    Ditto Trainmaster's comment. I would, however, buy two coils and keep the extra in the truck somewhere just in case.

    AC Smell

    Check your brake pads for binding. Be careful...they get can red hot. Carefully touch the area the lug nuts. It should be cool or slightly warmer than your hand. It should not be hot after normal driving.

    AC question

    Automotive AC systems are generally designed to lower the ambient air temp (outside) by 30 degrees. So when its 95 outside, you should expect the unit to produce air at 65. Now, if you stay in RECIRC mode, eventually the AC unit will cool the interior of the car, and that cooler air will be...

    Towing Capacity Help

    If you mean a Weight Distributing Hitch (WDH), yes. The WDH and the towing package give a max tow capacity of 9200#. Otherwise you're at 6200#. Page 28: https://www.fleet.ford.com/content/dam/aem_fleet/en_us/fleet/towing-guides/Ford_Linc_17RVTTowGuide.pdf

    How much can I really tow safely

    That 9000# number is only if you use a WDH and have the towing package. That info is in the Ford towing guide. Page 28: https://www.fleet.ford.com/content/dam/aem_fleet/en_us/fleet/towing-guides/Ford_Linc_17RVTTowGuide.pdf

    2017 Expedition Rear Suspension Upgrade?

    600 pounds on the hitch shouldn't cause the truck to squat 'terribly'. Have you weighed the tongue? Is it 10-15% of trailer weight? What is your cargo weight (in the truck at or behind the rear axle....this gets 'added' to the tongue weight)?

    2017 Expedition Rear Suspension Upgrade?

    When the trailer is sitting level (not hitched to the truck), what is the height difference between the top of the receiver and the trailer hitch?

    Coolant leak on 2016

    I know what you're talking about. You just have a 'reservoir' cap. I forgot about those. I have a reservoir (vented) and a radiator cap (pressure containing) EDIT: Ok, I was thinking about my 2008 Mounty. Never mind.

    Coolant leak on 2016

    Reservoir tanks are vented...they don't hold pressure. Do you mean your radiator cap?

    Engine runs rough when cold. At dealer here is what they found.......

    Forced engine purchases turn out to be blessings in disguise.

    How often do you swap out your brake rotors when doing pads?

    The caliper isn't sliding as designed. Pull the slide pins....clean the pins and the bore and lube. May as well replace the brake fluid while you're at it.

    Gear temp.

    There really isn't a minimum temp for tranny fluid, as long as it can flow. The high temp end gets a bit more complex. Normally (whatever that is defined as), tranny fluid operating temp would be 170F - <220F. The variables that contribute to fluid temp are numerous, but mostly ambient air...

    Horn problem

    You need to accept your Expy as it comes out of the closet. Stop forcing it to be something it just isn't. Just because it has 4WD doesn't mean it wants to get dirty........ /s

    P0341 and P0346 error

    You can You can be sure that the "item of issue" here is the sensor, and not the camshaft. Camshafts don't fail intermittently nor do they fix themselves. Replacing the sensor is a "2" on the difficulty scale. Most of your time will be finding the damn thing.

    Melted Hi-mount brake light

    Bone stock. I have no idea if lights were stuck on. They aren't now. I think it got wet and shorted out. That would explain the high heat needed to melt the plastic.

    At least its not a $700 LED assembly.

    Gear temp.

    Sounds normal to me. 210F seems a bit high, but you are in the middle east. Are you towing any thing?

    P0341 and P0346 error

    There may have been a a 'glitch' at some time in the past that set that code. IIRC, this is a "permanent" code that does not clear when the condition is no longer present. Nor does it set the MIL on. If you are experiencing a problem with the cam position sensors, the engine will run like...
