    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    I’m 99% positive that that is all about spring rate and has nothing to do with dampening/shocks.

    Cam Phaser engine damage

    I just got mine back from the dealer for a left front shock R&R under warranty. They told me that Ford Corporate is asking them to hold off on the Cam Phaser software update because they are finding that it causes software problems with the 10 speed transmission.

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    Question for you. It's been over a year since you did this install, any issues with the stock UCAs? I was holding off doing this thinking I needed new Upper Control Arms, but it doesn't look like you replaced them.

    JLT 3.0 install 2019 MAX

    @302Xplorer , by way of comparison... I installed mine in March (2020). I prefer the relocation that your (assumed) newer version has. I've put on about 1K miles (since quarantine has me working from home) and shown below is the amount of oil collected in the reservoir. We live in Colorado...

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    Yep, @CE750 that looks about perfect to me. I only wish that Bushwacker would make fender flares for the Expy like I had on the Tundra.

    Bilstein 5100 Lift Install

    It's been a few months and most of us have been at home during the quarantine, any news on the installation? I bought the ReadyLift spacer kit after buying the Expy last July but never installed it. I had the 5100s on my Tundra and really liked them so probably going to never install the...

    I really like Expedition, but the terrible suspension is getting to me...

    This thread is confirming my choice to get the XLT with 18" wheels. No crazy electronic suspension, no twinky-duece wheels with zero sidewall, just solid, stable tracking on rough dirt roads. I have to take a 5 mile dirt road just to get to the highway everyday for work and even at 45-50 MPH...

    LOW profile rooftop rack

    @Fozzy, I really like this setup you've got and would love to know how you wired your accessory lighting and any other tips and tricks you found while getting this setup. Thanks, 3Dog

    Custom roof rack build!

    I wish I had this level of skill. Did you use a tubing notcher?

    This forum is talking me out of buying

    Guess what, it was -1 F on Friday with 9" of snow. I was one of the only people that was able to make it into the office before the roads were plowed. Heated seats and steering wheel worked great and the snow setting on the drive mode worked flawlessly. Very happy with my purchase and would do...

    3rd shock blown out on 2018 XLT

    I have my eye on those for my XLT eventually. Blown shocks would give me an excuse...

    Gear Indicator on Panel

    Hey Bill, like the other thread (honk, honk) we were chatting about, I think this can be made permanent with the Forescan tool and a minor software adjustment.

    Annoying Horn

    My 2019 does this and yes, annoying as hell. I get out to get the mail at the mailbox which is down a steep driveway from the house, and shut the door, and leave it running to keep the A/C going. Honk, honk! Drives me insane. I have a Forescan tool and the software, but haven't had the time...

    Removing front air dam?

    Fozzy, that's a nice looking rig. What roof rack is that and how does it mount? I haven't found one I like yet, but I keep looking...

    2018 Ford Expedition MAX Limited 4WD Engine Swap Question

    HELLCRATE! 6.2L Supercharged Hellcat motor. Do you think the X-fer case and transmission will handle 700 HP? Or, if you want to keep it in the family... Gen 3 Coyote 5.0L . What a sweet noise that would make, you could do a radio delete ;) Completely impractical, but... oooh!

    Shock Upgrades?

    Curious: I'm also watching this thread on suspension and have recommended the 5100s based on my experience with the Toy Tundra. Are the 5100s going to be effective with the basic suspension springs on the XLT (non FX4)? Are the springs on the FX4 any different? If anyone has a link to part...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Based on this example, I ordered them from Amazon and installed on my '19 last week. Truck is filthy due to weird rain and unpaved roads so no pics yet

    Bumpy ride

    I have this same package and I'm planning on doing suspension upgrades. When I've done this on other vehicles, shocks/struts have made a huge difference. I put Bilstein 5100s and BFG TKO's on my Tundra and they transformed the truck into something I enjoyed driving. If cost and complexity...

    2019 Expedition XLT Fog Light Replacement

    Does anyone have an image of where that "flap" is? It's probably obvious, but every little bit of information helps.

    Speedometer calibration after lift/tires

    2013-04-06 17.50.43 by 3DogRanch posted Jul 23, 2019 at 10:41 AM Really? That's not much different than the Bilstein 5100 replacement I did on my Tundra. I used the top ring land on the 5100's instead of the ReadyLIFT on my Tundra and that worked out great. Yeah, I know it's a Ford Forum...

    Speedometer calibration after lift/tires

    I have a readylift 3/2 kit sitting in a box in the garage. I read the instructions and decided I'd let someone do that for me. Those plastic parts in the vacuum lockers for the front drive wheels have me spooked.

    Folding mirrors?

    Corrected... AggieGrad05 is right, when the doors lock, not when powered off

    Don’t do this.

    I feel you brother. That sucks hard, but like you said, at least you have the means to fix it. I had a ragtop Mustang many years ago with the glass rear window and used the power fold down on an unzipped rear window. the thing exploded all over the trunk and it took me three months to save...
