    Rubbing sound only in the cold

    Found a video where a guy takes his apart and finds the IWE in pieces: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJDaeANoxPU I suspect the grinding noise he heard is like the grinding noise I hear. Time for a new IWE!

    Rubbing sound only in the cold

    Dang, then I'll have to try to record mine! Ours just started yesterday. Like you, only at low speed; increases when coasting, fades when accelerating. Going to 4A doesn't change it. The speed of the noise is clearly connected to tire/axle rotation (not engine). It's usually a grinding/rubbing...

    Hi New Owner with Questions (brakes too)

    Welcome to the forum! I was just coming to look for help with what's making a grinding/rubbing noise noticeable at low speed... like a dragging brake! So, maybe that is a thing. I don't know if the brake issue is related to the recall or not, but the symptom just started for us and we haven't...

    Share your current 2022 order status and deal!

    Still plugging along with our '17 Expy EL that came by rail out of the Kentucky plant, and contemplating a new Super Duty truck. Found a forum with a LOT of info about placing and tracking an order. I suspect there's some overlap, so here's the link to the thread from 9/2021 that may be helpful...

    2016 3rd Row Seat Clicking

    Great intuition. Here's a link to a site showing the location of a relay box on that side of the vehicle: https://fusesdiagram.com/ford/fuse-box-diagram-ford-expedition-2.html I've got the wiring diagram manual (but it doesn't show locations). It takes 3 pages of wiring diagrams for the third...

    No washers, but wipers work

    I read somewhere the winter freeze-proof fluid can make a slime when mixed with the summer bug cleaner fluid, and that's what I found to have plagued mine. I could hear the pump churning, but could only get a dribble, then no fluid out of either the front windshield or rear glass. I heard the...

    2017 -120,000 mile report

    We're halfway there, having just turned 60k on our '17, and have really enjoyed it for long road trips. But for a daily driver around town, there are a few frustrations that come to mind: 1. Glitchy screen. I suspect this is due to shifting into reverse before the computer has fully booted, but...

    Exterior mods

    I'm curious about your headlights. The stock low beams on our 2017 drive my wife and I nuts - I guess it's the "projector" that makes a horizontal line so you can't see the road up a hill ahead. Do your new lights solve that?

    LED Turn Signals?

    A bit tardy on the reply OC, but I was reading just today that some flasher relays need a load to cycle. So, if you defeated the hyperflash electronically in Forscan, you may still need resistors for the mechanics of the flasher relay to function. Dewey: I looked into how the stock bulbs are...

    A couple of mods for my ‘17 Limited

    Seeing how well your amber flasher shows in the clear lens is a boost to my spirits for the amber turn signal mod I've been contemplating. Thanks for posting!

    2017 dome defeat

    Thanks, I'll keep that dark and silent mode in-mind for camping next time. I was feeling bad for the party next to us when I missed seeing if I locked the rig, so I unlocked it to avoid it honking, then locked it again, flash-flashflash! I didn't go that high-tech for the drive-in since it's...

    What a difference

    Resurrecting this old thread as I catch up after a long hiatus. The newer rigs (like my 2017) function a bit different than this. I used to have the same perspective as Jeff: until I scrolled to the off-road screen to watch the power distribution between axles and see what Ford's computer...

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    Today was my first attempt ForScan reprogramming. I used a couple different spreadsheets and mixed results, and only had me sweating a little. After one of my BdyCM changes didn't work and I noticed another character in the line changed all by itself, I loaded my original settings and the...

    Which FORScan do you recommend???

    Thanks everyone for sharing. My take-away was that there is not necessarily a single magic bullet. So, I opted for an inexpensive USB unit with a switch for HS/MS modes that a reviewer on the site where I purchased it said they used it on an '18, so I figured it would work on my '17. Tried it...

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    Both front and rear hyperflash are in the spreadsheet from @17LimitedExpy. I am curious if the "Drive-In" stereo duration can be extended to 120+ minutes if we continue to increase that character, maybe up to F?

    ForScan Tweaks - 2015+

    Thank you for helping us with a "Drive-In" mode! The annual family drive-in movie really stunk last year when we found out (the hard way) that the Expy would turn off the audio every 10 minutes.

    All Terrain tire choices

    We had the Michelin LTX M/S2 on our '04 suburban and they were great. Apparently we were a bit spoiled with them, because on Christmas Eve we ended up in the neighbors yard with the stock 22-inch Perelli Scorpion Verde "All Season" tires that came on our 2017 Expedition EL! Quickly re-tooled...

    Bug Shield or not?

    Wow that black on black looks nice! We've got a gunmetal gray coat with chrome trim, so we splurged for the chrome deflector instead of plain smoked. I am telling myself that by reflecting UV rays it will last twice as long in order to help justify the cost...and it does look sharp!

    Mud/Splash guards for 2011 Expedition w/power running boards

    I happened upon some thin ones at Cabela's. My only gripe is that they have a diamond plate pattern, but that's just a minor aesthetic issue. Come to think of it, that may actually help the flap from looking too scuffed-up as the running board moves up and down (it rubs along the backside of the...

    Where are you from?

    Between Everett and Seattle, future home of the next NHL franchise! :::fingers crossed::: Handle is inspired by Eddie Murphy's Beverly Hills Cop character, with a play on words to represent hi-jinx involving a vehicle, or that the vehicle is somehow innately flawed. It is curious that Ford...

    LED Turn Signals?

    I have been working on a plan, yet to be executed. If you can help me poke holes in it before I get too far into tearing into my vehicle, I'd appreciate it! My plan is to get a tail light converter module (either Tekonsha 118158 or Curt 56196) and stuff it in the tailgate lift access opening...

    Weathertech Mats

    I second the pain for having to cut my brand new digital form-fit mats to accommodate movement of my centerslide bench. Also, the driver and passenger mats don't stay put as tightly as I would like. However, I haven't tripped on them, so am tolerating them.

    Which FORScan do you recommend???

    I see a lot of posts where people use the OBDlink MX (bluetooth). Then I see some recommending a wired USB connection to avoid a potentially catastrophic communication failure. Others talk about either wiring in a switch or buying a unit with a separate switch for MS-CAN. Can somebody please...
