    Install OEM brake controller on my 2017 Expy

    Just got my OEM brake controller installed and working. Cant wait to use it Sunday to see how much better it responds compared to the aftermarket timed controller. Thanks all for your hard work. So easy a plumber can do it. That doesn't say much for the Ford Service department that could not.

    Hey everyone! Travel trailer question..

    you are correct the expy is a 17 with 6 speed tranny. The TT is an '18. my brother-in law had the 10r80 in his F-150 and told the model down from ours. He live in the Catskill mountains and traded in after two seasons because of transmission problems.

    learened somethng new with remote start

    Mine will not shift when remote start activated until you put key into ignition and turn to on. I was a little funny watching my wife figure that out the other day after I started the truck and she was driving and didn't put the key.

    Little mirror in upper console

    Just try swapping out your sunglass holder with the mirror and you will know if it can be done. I thought about doing as well because our mirror is crap and my wife hates it. She would rather move the rear view mirror to see the baby and not traffic. Our old suburban allowed the the rear audio...

    Tow/haul mode experience

    The only thing I don't like about the engine braking in tow/haul mode is that I feel it stays engaged to long. Often times I am accelerating with my foot on the gas and it takes a bit of time to up shift. I would think once you press the accelerator, it will shift to the correct gear much like...

    2016 XLT Backup camera

    It probably a loose connection or bad wire.I have the same problem. Usually after someone slams the hatch down. Typically opening and closing the hatch gently corrects it.

    Ford, Are you Listening? 2018+ Change/Wish List

    I had a 04 suburban EL and the handling while towing the same camper and WDH ( professionally installed on both) was much better. I get lot of wiggle in the Expedition. I never felt Unsafe in the Suburban. I have spent much more time white knuckled in the Expedition.Granted increasing tire...

    How to add remote start using forscan

    Had to get an extended license( Free and Easy), but was able to use Forscan to enable remote start in Body Module configuration as in second video in post 4. Works GREAT!!!!! I made sure doors were locked, pressed start button on Remote, pressed start button again and held until started...

    Intelligent Key with push button start programming again...

    From everything I have seen, you can only program a key if you have two existing keys. Since you only have one key you will have to go to the dealer. There may be a chance that a lock smith may be able to, but our local one would not program one that wasn't purchased from them. They wanted $150...

    How to add remote start using forscan

    I never got any error messages. I copy and pasted that instruction section from a review on Amazon. I left that portion in for those that might get the error. Maybe I should have put quotes around that section or made it more obvious so Buckeye's wouldn't be confused. GO Terps!

    How to add remote start using forscan

    OK, I haven't gotten to turn the remote start on yet, But just finished programming to new keys after 40 minutes of trying. Thru the program instructions in the video, my keys would start the expy, but buttons would not work. After some searching I found this and it worked perfectly. You do have...

    which is most popular Expedition or Expedition EL

    We have an EL. I saw many more standard for sale than EL, very few of either with HD towing. My wife went from a suburban XL to the Expy, so we already had the ITS TOO BIG arguement. My brother has a tahoe and Navigator and she definitely wanted more cargo space. EL is definitely worth it...

    Tow/haul mode experience

    All of GM's torque is at the higher RPM,s also, which causes them to heat up more under a load.

    Mud flaps for power running board

    Installed the WeatherTech's over the weekend myself. Rear went on fine, front seams like screw too short, wont grab. Mud flap pulls right off with little effort and about an 1.5" gap between back of mud flap and wheel well cover. @Gary Waugh I feel the same about the front and probably will add...

    Tow/haul mode experience

    I was in 4th and 5th thru the mountain sections of the trip this weekend, flats and rolling hills was mostly 6th. Typically, Tow/Haul mode doesnt make a difference on flats or small rolling hills. The main thing it does is keep the tranny from constantly shifting on steeper/ longer grades. It...
