    Any tips for first time DIY oil change on 2020 Expedition 3.5?

    If you're going to be doing this on a regular basis, you might spring for a Fumoto valve for the oil pan. Put it on once and eliminate possible cross-threading or gasket replacement. If you get the one with the short nipple, you can run a hose directly into your catch vessel.

    Platinum Ultimate Build

    Or your dealer will process the in-service date in October to count it towards their Oct. total as my dealer did with mine several years ago

    Transmission overheating

    I had the thermostat replaced and cooling system flushed when I first read about the improved one here. Basically we do mostly local driving, but on a trip from Phoenix to Denver last summer, no trailer, I monitored the transmission temps very carefully, especially on the long pulls in the...

    Remote start works but dies immediately

    This may or may not be your issue, but I believe that the vehicles are programmed to NOT start remotely if the fuel level is below a certain point.

    Taking my 2019 in for Seatbelt and PCM Emissions Recalls

    We contacted the dealer when we got the recall notice and were advised they would notify us when the parts were available for our 2019. When we brought it in for our appointment, the dealer had the parts on hand. It may have been there for three or four hours. As far as the PCM recall goes...

    Auto start/stop eliminator.

    For the first couple of cycles, the light remained on for some time. Now it's back to the way it was before--key off, light out.

    Wiper Blade Replacement Recs

    I would buy any major brand before I bought another set of Motorcraft from Ford. Wiper blades are another victim of value engineering. The ones I was sold were nowhere as nice as the ones that came on it from the factory.

    Auto start/stop eliminator.

    I just installed one (in the center stack) today. For those of you who have used them for any time, does the button light up as "off" even when the vehicle is shut off?

    Power running board stuck

    Power steps extend to a more accessible height. Great for small kids and short spouses. I always found that the fixed steps were set too high, probably to prevent someone having their foot slip between the bar and the pinch weld and losing their balance--either seriously abrading a shin or...

    Horn Cover Cracked

    That's odd that the airbag cover cracked. My previous vehicle was a 2010 F-150 XLT with the basic vinyl steering wheel. One the nine years I owned it, it was parked outside in the Arizona sun more than it was garaged. The steering wheel began to delaminate but the air bag cover still looked...

    Garage Opener Weak Signal

    Same problem here. In our old house, with the chain drive Lift Master openers, we could open our garage doors from several houses away. In our new house we have the jackshaft openers with the receiver in the wall button assembly. There is no way to add an external antenna. We also have a...

    60,000km Update - Trans & Water Pump

    Quote: "I don’t like the current options packages in the 2025’s.. My Platinum has all the good stuff and I use it." Funny you should mention that. We could buy something new, but there's nothing we feel would be as comparable or dependable as what we already have (knock on wood); a 2019 Limited...

    Another dead battery

    Ford's AGM batteries are a crap shoot. Some are better than others. When they are low in charge any number of electrical issues will appear. My Expedition is only driven a couple times/wk. With its original battery, there were several instances where I had to hook up a trickle charger to get...

    Fitting the 'tow max' radiator in a 2023 non tow max Expy

    Not sure when the change occurred, but if yours still has the old version of the thermostat, I would change that out too when you have the cooling system drained.

    2019 Expo XLT sways all over the place after hitting bumps

    Given the higher center of gravity, replacing the rear and links will give you the most bang for your buck, and doing both will make it even more stable. Fair warning though, some posters have expressed issues with the bushings that accompany the Hellwig bar. I re-greased mine after two years...

    Upgrade fan switch on 2019 to later style

    Never mind. I did some checking and it (up/down fan control) first appeared on the F-150 but with a different center stack control mix. Also think it might have been on the 2022 Expeditions, but couldn't find any pictures to verify if the lower controls were the same with the bigger screen...

    Upgrade fan switch on 2019 to later style

    I think it was '20 or '21 where they changed the blower control from left-/right+ recessed push controls to a raised chrome bar...in one of the newer models BEFORE they changed the center stack to a huge tablet thing. Ideally, it would NOT have to be the entire part with the twin dials for...

    Emissions Recall 24E13 - Certain 2018-2021 Expedition - 3.5L EcoBoost Engine - Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reprogram

    My dealer called me, set up a time to do it, and came out to our house before the recall letter even arrived. The only glitch was having to re-set the clock to MST

    Upgrade fan switch on 2019 to later style

    Does anyone know if it is possible to change climate control/fan speed portion of the center stack to the later style with a horizontal bar that you move up to increase blower speed or down to decrease it. With a black interior, it is extremely hard to make changes while driving w/o taking your...

    2022 Horn Only Partially Works

    The way we did it was to remove the plastic cover between the grill and the radiator, then reach in from below to unplug and unbolt the horn and remove it from the bottom. Installing the new horn was a little trickier...we tied a string to the new one and pulled it up into place from below and...

    2022 Horn Only Partially Works

    Our '19 Expedition Limited was supposed to have the dual-tone horn. I rarely used it and only heard it when hitting the lock button on the fob twice or closing either frond door with the vehicle running. After watching a YouTube video on replacing the horn with/o removing bumper and grill, I...

    Ford quietly redesigned the thermostat in 2022...replace it

    To the best of my recollection, I had the thermostat replaced along with a cooling system flush with new coolant for approximately $350 at my dealership. However, I also had a new set of tires put on in the same visit so they probably threw me a bone with the thermostat job. As far as the...

    Who’s getting a ‘25?

    More than likely it will show up with a few more miles than normal, assuming it met all their standards.
