    Small coolant leak….

    Hi all, I’ve attached a pic of a small coolant leak discovered using UV dye on my 2018 Expy. It’s been pretty intermittent with an about a 1/3 cup found under the truck one day a couple of weeks ago and then nothing since. My OCD so t let it go‍♂️. I had a tranny overheat issue in April...

    Engine Temp gauge has large temperature swings in seconds between 205 and 226 degrees

    2018 Expedition XLT Max. I just recovered from a tranmission overfill / overheat issue thanks to negligent dealer service. Now the electronic engine temp gauge in the cluster swings from 226 degrees on the high end to 205 degrees, spiking lower sometimes to 198 degrees on the low end within...

    2018 Expedition Transmission overfilled by Dealer and resulting issues

    In March 13, 2023 I took my 2018 Expedition XLT Max to the dealership for transmission filter and fluid change at 45633 miles. Early I know but I don't have confidence in lifetime fluids and I want to keep this truck in my life for many years. I noticed 4 drops of tranny fluid on the garage...

    Engine Oil Life Reset Function Missing

    I have a 2018 Expedition and just changed the oil and the Oil Life Reset button is missing. Can’t find it any any sub menus engine on or in accessories. The last thing I did was add global window open/shut from the key fob with ForScan and I’m wondering if the menu icon was replaced with the...

    JLT Passenger Side Oil Separator

    Hi all, Not looking to reopen the catch can debate but am wondering if anyone installed a JLT Passenger Side catch can and if so, were you able to put the engine cover back on? I ordered the correct can for 2015-2019 Expedition 3.5L EB in Clear Anodized color but received a black anodized can...

    2018 Expedition 10 Speed Transmission

    Has anyone had their transmission serviced yet on their 2018 or newer Expedition? How did it go? Has anyone found an aftermarket dipstick that can allow the owner to check the fluid level and refill? On my 99 Silverado I will drain the transmission by unhooking the tranny cooler line and...

    3rd shock blown out on 2018 XLT

    I just saw the fluid puddle on my garage floor indicating my right rear shock just gave out. Less that 13000 miles on my 2018 and this is the 3rd shock to go. Check your OEM shocks because they are not very well made. The roughest terrain this thing has been on is a dusty road.

    Windshield is a rock magnet

    I purchased my 2018 Expedition in March 2018, I have 10590 miles and three rock chips. It's like the windshield is magnetically attracting the rocks. My 2007 Expedition has 156000 miles at trade in and no chips. Luck of the Irish I guess.

    Floppy Hood when driving

    Has anyone noticed how floppy the hood seems when driving at highway speeds? It even looked like the hood had popped but I checked it and it's closed properly.

    Paid for extended warranty but no paperwork after almost a year

    When I bought my 2018 Max in March 2018 I was waffling on the extended warranty but finally decided on it and the dealership sent a runner to my home to have me sign the purchase agreement/contract. Well it kind of slipped my mind and I couldn’t remember if I got it or not as I’ve received no...

    2 Shocks in 2 months

    last month my front right shock blew out in the garage, this month my left rear shock has blown out. I guess they are using the cheapest shocks ever as I only put 7400 message since Marxh 18 on the vehicle and it's never been off road or even on a dirt road. Anyone else losing shocks out there?

    Remote Start

    My 2018 Expedition XLT has remote start. It’s neat when it works but it can be hit or miss to actually start the vehicle remotely. Lock doors, double tap remote start button and sometime it turns over but doesn’t start, second or third attempt it starts up. I usually have to be line of sight...

    2018 Expedition XLT Gas Mileage Questions

    I’ve been seeing some really good mileage reports from everyone which is great, but my 2018 Expy XLT Max only get about 17.8/gal highway doing about 82mph and 15-16 city using 87 octane. I see a bunch of you reporting 18-20 city and 20-22 highway. Are you guys running premium fuel or driving...

    Transmission temps

    What transmission temps are you all running on your 2018 Expeditions? I have an XLT with just shy of 3k miles, 4A, no tow package or anything. For the most part it is a family taxi so a lot of short trips 3-5 miles for school, church, shopping, etc. I’m trying to start early with preventative...

    Passenger side mirror freaking out

    i was refueling my 2018 Expy yesterday and when finished, jumped in, started it up and the passenger side mirror started to repeatedly, and on its own accord, adjusting to the very far right limit and bouncing back and forth. I had to use the mirror adjust control to stop it by simply adjusting...

    2018 Expedition Homelink Range

    I have noticed that the range on my Homelink to open the Garage doors has been drastically reduced with the 2018 Homelink system. My 2007 Expy Homelink would open the doors about 7 house lengths away. 2018 Expy I have to be almost in my driveway. Kind of annoying havin to wait for the door to go...

    Whirring sound when I open driver’s door

    Every once in awhile when I open the driver’s door to my 2018 Expedition XLT I near a whirring noise. Sounds like it’s coming from the seat but the “Easy Entry/Exit” function for the driver’s seat is disabled, I don’t need it and it was one of the first things to go out on my 2007 Expy EL. I...

    Drilling a hole in the Intercooler

    I know the intercooler on the 2018 Ford Expedition has been redesigned but is the drainage hole mod still needed. I’ve seen a lot of videos about drilling a 1/16 hole to drain condensation and oil out. I got this new truck and want to do as much to protect it at the front end as possible. Beyond...

    Disabling auto start/stop

    This video of a guy with a Raptor shows how he disabled auto start/stop by removing disconnecting a cable from under the dash. Seems to work and I am going to try it and report any other issues. What he unhooks maybe just the auto start/stop ignition control wires between the button and the...

    Catch can mod on Ecoboost still necessary on 2018 models

    So my question is in relation to the video attached, I heard the Ecoboost engines in the 2018 models like the 2018 Expedition have direct AND multi port injection to keep the valves clean and eco reasons. So is this mod still a good idea? Should I consider doing this mod to my brand new 2018...

    2018 Expy Max XLT

    So I just purchased (meaning yesterday afternoon) a 2018 Expy Max XLT 4x4, uprading from a 2007 Expy EL Limited. I really like the style and features (miss my shifter/hand rest). Second day, inspecting everything and went to play with the third row recline button and I notice a 2" cut in the...
