    Aftermarket UCA and CCD

    I am pretty sure I know the answer to this, but this is my last attempt to find an aftermarket UCA that works with CCD. I have searched and read as much as I could here and there seems to be ZERO options. Is there anything out there?

    Horn Cover Cracked

    Any one else have an issue with the horn cover split along the line where the airbag would deploy? Went to the dealer and they said to fix I need entire airbag assembly. :thumbsdown: that's 330 bucks. Another solution?

    Help diagnosing clunking suspension noise

    I have a weird clunking noise coming from front suspension when I go off pavement or on rough road. It seems to be worse when cold. I have hellwig sway bars and I have double checked end links. I also have skid plates and I have doubled checked clearances on those as well. Nothing is rubbing...

    Aluminum Driveshaft

    So I searched for this topic and it got zero results but maybe I did something wrong so I apologize in advance if this has been discussed. Do they make aluminum drive shafts for the 4th gen and is it worth it like it is on mustangs?

    FREE Damaged Raptor Slid Plate

    If you are local to DFW area in Texas I have a Raptor skid plate I damaged going over a curb (there was huge drop on other side I didn't see). I think if some one has the patience and skill to bend the 4 arms that connect to frame back in place it would be usable again. I just didn't have time...

    Mishimoto skid plate (transmission)

    I had originally put a raptor skid plate to cover the transmission in my 18 expedition. I killed it recently going over a curb and not realizing the drop on other side was a foot down. While it did protect the tranny... It was bent up pretty good so I decided to hit up the summit racing down the...

    Transmission issue... Puking fluid in driveway

    Noticed my trans wasn't as silky smooth as it used to be and I didn't think much of it until I parked in driveway to change oil in my other vehicle and noticed a puddle of fluid on ground. I have seen some posts here about issues but what are the results of your repairs? Was it an easy part...

    GFB Blow Off Valve First Impressions

    Installed the GFB Blow off valve today. I decided to pull the trigger after about a year of going back and forth if I wanted that loud noise all the time. I know some like the noise but I kind of like my ride quiet. I decided on the GFB unit mainly because it has a mounting bracket that holds...

    Forged Aluminum Lug Nuts?

    I recently purchased a set of Vossen hf6-2 wheels and when we did install the lugs weren't in yet so tire shop used something they had in stock that worked. Got lugs in and went to put them on myself today and found the are forged aluminum lugs. Is there any downside to using aluminum? I feel...

    Vossen HF6-2 Installed

    Truck is dirty as hell and the weather remains wet for a week so I post this as is. Pulled trigger on Vossen hf6-2 22inch wheels... now I think I need to mute the chrome on the rest of it. What you all think?

    Replaced Wheel Hub Myself

    Instead of waiting for the dealer to do the job in 2 weeks I decided to replace the front wheel hub myself. Super easy to do but take a look at this picture, is this normal wear? It almost looks like it was burning.

    Engine pre-oiler to prevent camphaser failure

    So I have read as many articles as I could find and watched all the videos on the topic of engine pre-oilers. There is a guy on YouTube who added one to his 18 expedition and it worked great. I am seriously thinking of adding one but I want to devise a way that I could activate the pre-oiler...

    2018+ Fuel Filter location?

    I searched the forum and got no results for this... I haven't looked at my vehicle yet but wanted to know where to start before I started this. Is it on the frame some where near fuel tank? Anyone have pic or diagram? Thanks!

    Members with multi cam phaser replacement...

    I had my first set of cam phasers replaced before 20k miles on my 18 platinum. Then I had to have them redone at approx 30k miles. I thought there was an updated part that was supposed to prevent this from continuing to occur. Did I just get unlucky and not receive the upgraded part the first...

    Who had success with dealership dealing with turbo rattle?

    My Expy is in the shop for a wheel bearing and another set of cam phasers (sigh). The turbos have been super rattly since the first set of phasers I had replaced and I told them back then and they ignored it and I was in a hurry and didn't feel like dealing with them. Now closer to the end of...

    Think wheel bearings are starting to fail

    99.9 percent sure I am hearing the beginnings of a front or both wheel bearings going out. My expedition is still under warranty but I am not sure I want to screw with going to dealership. Thinking of just doing it myself for less downtime since it is a really easy thing to swap out. Any idea on...

    AMS turbo inlet tubes installed

    I came across the AMS inlet tubes and thought I would give them a shot. I figured I have the charge pipes upgraded I might ad well try these. I do not have them added to my tune yet but will when I add the turbo exhaust adapters later this summer. The one thing that stuck out the most after...

    Question for the navigator guys

    I am curious what the exhaust on a navigator looks like from the manifold to the muffler. Is the y pipe the same as ours with a single exit? Then does it split in two again to muffler? Thanks

    Tire wear and alignment question

    I noticed I am getting some wearing on the outside of the front tires. I saw somewhere in the forum others noticed this as well. I have less than 20k on my 2018 now but I noticed the tires were wearing bad from factory because at the 8k mile mark I noticed it. Is this just normal behavior or...

    Service Ramps

    What brand ramp have you all bought for working on things under your expeditions? I have read up on the rhino ramps but have come across some real horror stories about catastrophic failures. What quality brand is out there? I wanted a little more room to do my front sway bar since that thing...

    Radar and Dash Cam Hardwire

    So there have been a couple other posts about this but I wanted to share what I came up with and what worked for me. First off my radar detector is weird, it uses 5v power instead of 12v. My dash cam also uses 5v. So I did not want to use the mirror power tap method because I would need to...

    Just curious if anyone with a 4th gen has upgraded their radiator. If so was their measurable improvement in temps? Not super serious about getting one but was just curious more than anything.
