    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?

    Unreal car collection

    This is remarkable not just for the cars, but also for the back-porch, laid-back, want some ice tea casual approach to the whole property. Its long, but it has to be. If you like cars, you'll love this.

    Name that.....whatever it is.

    While mowing the grass today, I was motoring past the Expy on the driveway and noticed this. At first, I though it was a massive door-ding. Then I got a closer look.......

    Fluid temperature specs

    I'm setting up dashboards on OBDLink (MX+), and need some help with fluid temp specs to set up "ranges" on my display gages. Can someone direct me to the specs for the tranny, coolant, and oil temps? (cold, normal, caution, hot, etc) Also, which PID does the Expy use to set the the "Oil Temp"...

    Somebody 'plain this.....

    Was crawling around under the '17 Expy XLT yesterday and noticed the tread design on the spare was different than the the other 4. Sure enough, my spare is a Goodyear Wrangler while the original tires are the Hankooks. While typing this, it occurred to me that I need to look again to make...

    Hmmm.....14HP boost.

    So, they claim a 14HP boost just from installing their coils (peak HP +38 @4000rpm). Edit: New link https://www.enginelabs.com/engine-tech/dyno-testing/installing-sos-coils-yields-easy-gains-on-an-ecoboost-f-150/

    Sync 3 w/Waze update

    Now that the Synce3/Waze integration has been out for a while and I've used it quite a bit, I gotta say I am impressed. At first, it was glitchy and didn't seem to integrate well, but there must have been some overnight auto-update at some point because one day (months ago, actually), it...

    Fog lights turned themselves off

    Strange thing happened last night. I was driving at night with both headlights and fog lights on, pulled into a 7-11. Wifey went in, I stayed in the truck, engine running and turned off the headlights and left the parking lights and fog lights on. After a few minutes, the fog lights turned...

    Zero Miles To Empty.....

    Here's a factoid to ponder. Today, I managed to get to "0 Miles To Empty" about 2 miles from the gas station I was heading to. Then I filled up (had to run the pump twice...it only gave $75.00 on a single swipe) So, from empty I was able to get 30.3 gallons into a 33.5 gallon tank. I...

    Hardwired a radar detector

    Oh boy. What a mess. Spent most of Saturday hard-wiring a radar detector in my '17 EL. I have it mounted on top left of the rear-view mirror, and the power cord runs inside the headliner (alongside my dashcam), pushed in from the leading edge near the windshield, running over to the...

    $3,300 for a TPS

    My local stealership just called with an estimate for a failed TPS. They said "$3,300....it needs a new throttlebody, a catalytic converter, and O2 sensors". With blood boiling...(I'm not a novice at all with auto repair) I said..'so you're telling me that the vehicle was running just fine, no...

    Sync 3 Oddity

    Since I bought new in June of this year, my Car Play app has worked flawlessly until today. I start the truck, plug in the iPhone just like always...and no Car Play. It wasn't even listed in the Settings Menu (usually sits next to the Android app icon). Unplug the phone, plug it back...

    Gas Mileage Report

    Last weekend, I drove from VA to FL and back. Roughly 1000 miles each way. On the way down I had the cruise control on 75 and averaged 18.5 MPG. On the way back the cruise control was set at 80, averaging 16.3 MPG. Thats a whopping 12 percent drop in fuel mileage. I offer that as evidence...

    2017 Airbag locations

    Just installed a two-camera dashcam system, and routed the rear camera along the passenger side window trim, from the rear pillar to the front pillar, then across to the rear-view mirror tucked into the headliner. Question: Over the doors, where are side airbags located? Are they over the...

    Seat Cooling Question

    I've noticed that when I turn on the seat cooling, the bottom gets cold with air blowing, but the back only blows air (no cooling). Is that how its supposed to work?

    2017 Door Alignment

    Dropped it off yesterday, got a new 150 as a loaner. Just got a call, they said it will be ready for pick up tomorrow. Caller couldn't say with any detail what they did, so I'll find that out tomorrow. [secretly worried they had to take off the front fender and now it'll look like it has...

    2017 Expedition XLT EL w/Sync 3.....

    Greetings all. Just joined the forum, having upgraded from years of owning Explorers. Just picked up my 2017 XLT EL w/Sync 3, and the Sirius Traffic link does not work. So, I went to the Sirius Infotainment website for information. They have a pop-up that asks your for your yr/Mk/Model to...
