    Oil Filter Relocation Kit

    Had my truck at the local Ford dealer and I got a high five (six feet away) from the service manager. They loved the setup. Service tech said he thought it was a brilliant idea.

    Oil Filter Relocation Kit

    Again to all the critics, I’ve run similar setups on all my mustangs, trucks, and my first Expy. It had a FACTORY REMOTE OIL FILTER SYSTEM...whoa!!!! WTF was Ford thinking?!?!?!

    :favorites68:As expensive as these vehicles are, do you really think I’m worried about a few extra bucks on an oil change?? All the nay sayers out there will never convince someone like myself who has built racing engines about the benefits of MORE CLEAN OIL...

    I did have to cut about 1 1/2” off the stone guard for clearance.

    Oil Filter Relocation Kit

    I made up a dual remote system with Aeroquip lines and fittings and universal Derale dual filter base. The bracket I used is a 14 gauge steel construction brace. I posted some pics after I completed it. Look up “Dual remote oil filters” and it should come up. Total cost was about $175. New oil...

    Protecting your rear end

    Better check local and state laws on this. Here in Illinois you can’t leave the ball mount in the receiver if you’re not towing. Buddy who’s a police officer said it has a lot to do with energy absorption in an accident and is also driven by insurance companies because it creates more damage to...

    MPG when towing

    These engines pull so much better than previous years. The sacrifice on mpg is worth it. My last Expy, an early 97 with the 4.6 was good for 17 mpg, but our last trip moving was horrible. Loaded 16' enclosed trailer on flatland Illinois...8 mpg. Coming back empty, fighting a 20 mph head wind...

    Lug Nuts for 2017 Limited

    Anyone try McGard lug nuts for theirs? I’ve had good luck with them on previous Fords.

    RPM/Throttle blip

    It’s a bit disconcerting for sure! Local dealership doesn’t have an answer for it either. I guess it’s an issue with the ECM? Who knows.

    Remote oil filters

    Hey Toby, if you’re concerned about the placement of the filters, my 97 had a single remote base in the same exact location. As long as I don’t follow a Raptor in the Baja 500, I should be OK with clearance. As far as your take on “no added benefit”, I’ve increased oil capacity and filtering...

    Remote oil filters

    The more the merrier with filtration. This setup has the flow in parallel. I just did an oil change this weekend. Way easier and a whole lot cleaner than the original setup.

    RPM/Throttle blip

    2017..no codes. This happens when I use the thumb switch to downshift. I just tried putting it in manual position and it held the rpm. Weird...

    RPM/Throttle blip

    Going down a steep road, I downshift to 3rd, about 35 mph. The engine rpm’s bump up 75 to 100 rpm every 2 to 3 seconds, just like if you tapped the throttle. This only happens in 3rd gear. Kinda defeats the purpose of downshifting! Anyone else experience this?

    Tire pressure warning '17 Expy

    My idiot light goes off at 28 psi. Any drastic temp drop sets it off. My wife’s ‘16 MKX has a display showing psi for each tire position which is real nice. Not sure why they couldn’t do the same for the Expy..

    Remote oil filters

    I get what you’re saying about the leaks. I went through three of the Jegs branded fittings before getting some from Phenix Industries. Aeroquip has been out of 90 degree fittings for awhile, so I had to settle for lesser quality. The Jegs fittings are made in China and are sub par for sure.. I...
