    SP-580 vs SP-580x .... I can buy the 580 on sale....should I?

    Thank you for your response. My vehicle has run exceptionally well these last 104,000 miles with the Factory installed Motorcraft plugs. So, in the six years since I bought the vehicle, new, the manufacturing of the plugs is not as well made as they used to be? No misfires and getting as much...

    SP-580 vs SP-580x .... I can buy the 580 on sale....should I?

    I will be doing a spark plug change. I see that the 'x' version of this plug is the current one being sold. But I can buy the 580 at just $8 a plug from a local parts store. they are normally $12 but they have them on sale (or clearance?) I have a 2017 Expedition and so would assume the...

    Blower Motor recall personal experience

    Interesting? I appreciate your insight. May I ask.....what and where do you look to see if there is any melting/burning? I change my own oil and my son (a Master Tech for Lexus/Toyota) do all the work on my 17 Expedition which now has 94,000 miles (I bought it new). The only problem I see in...

    Blower Motor recall personal experience

    Hello, I see that Ford keeps pushing forward when they will attend to the Blower Motor Recall. I called my local Ford dealer and they informed me they have to evaluate my situation first to determine if something needs to be done now or not? I thought Ford was SUPPOSED to replace ALL vehicles...

    Flashing check engine light upon hard acceleration. P2096 only code: "Post cat fuel trim sys too lean bank 1"

    "...........had a miss" would be the best answer. I had this happen a couple of weeks past. In Atlanta, I attempted to pass someone. Admittedly I 'stomped' the gas peddle and I didn't think I was accelerating.....made the mistake of 'stomping' it again. I keep foregeting about 'turbo lag'...

    Towing trailer first time

    Dumb observation maybe....... in the 'olden days' I would have to flip a switch or press a button or .......... to activate the trailering ability on a vehicle. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING on this vehicle where I have to do that? I guess when I connect the trailer (electrical?) the Expedition will...

    Towing trailer first time

    Hello, I own a 2017 Expedition Limited 2 wheel drive. I will be towing a trailer for the first time in its 5 year life. What I will be towing is a trailer with a vehicle on it. I know I can read what the owners manual says but I think hearing from folks who actually tow things would be the...

    I have a 2017 Expedition Limited. I have been using the 'factory' navigation and really not had much problem using that. In fact it has been reliable and gotten me to wherever I needed to go. But............... I am thinking of utilizing the Android Auto app on the vehicle via my phone. Can...
