    Stuck in park !

    I dealt with this. For me I used forscan to diagnose. $40 fix. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/stuck-in-park-brake-lights-on-fritz.43173/#post-388340

    Air Lift for Rear Suspension

    You could install (if they fit) the air struts from the older models and use a manual control system since the 4th gen don't have the height sensors on the lower A-arms. https://www.suncoreindustries.com/product/21958/rear-air-ride-suspension-struts-compressor-w-cage-07-16-expedition-navigator

    Advance trac acting "odd"

    Mine does the same thing when cold and wet (minus the grinding). No codes in the system, used forscan too. Just intermittently malfunctioning.

    Steering Damper to stop wheel jerking.

    I assume it was optional. I bought it used. 3rd owner. I really want a 2014 King Ranch again.

    Ford ESP Advice Please

    I bought one of these from Lombard ford ($2k) for my 2004 Excursion 4x4 with the 6.0. It was worth every penny for that vehicle. Once ULSD was introduced across the nation, my engine took a complete dump. EGR problems, turbo clogging, oil and injector leaks, etc. All was covered under the...

    Steering Damper to stop wheel jerking.

    Sounds like struts are a quick simple way to start. If the bump steer persists, I'll check ball joints/linkage, then on to R&P unit. Have air-ride on the rear (which I personally love) so only 2 struts to replace.

    How much was it new? Dealing with an insurance claim...

    Nice looking New Doug. I always wanted that burnt orange with the King Ranch trim. Seen it once but from a Lithia dealer in Oregon. Heard many a bad stories about Lithia dealers, so let her go.

    How much was it new? Dealing with an insurance claim...

    You're in the EcoBoost now, get the oil catch can and the vent hole for the intercooler, etc. Oil and spark plug changes are your friends now.

    Steering Damper to stop wheel jerking.

    Ok, did some snooping on the Ford-Truck Enthusiast forums; found pics of dampers on R&P F-150 that were lifted. Dropping the lower A arm made room for the damper. Not so in my stock 4x4 Exp. Even if I could mount it (possibly) there just isn't enough vertical clearance between the steering arm...

    Steering Damper to stop wheel jerking.

    Not lifted. Just the Limited Edition metalic Gray for 2013. Not really sure how Limited the paint color was cause my 2013 Taurus is the same color and it was a fleet vehicle owned by CA DMV.

    2013 Traction Control Light Blinking and Power Loss

    Oh ya, Forscan (free version) also diagnosed my shifter lock problem. Was able to see that the sensors were out of correspondence and a new brake pedal switch and a few $$ later, problem fixed. All thanks to a laptop and the Free version of Forscan. And of course 762mm's suggestion. I'm so glad...

    Steering Damper to stop wheel jerking.

    Well, There's a couple companies that make a bolt on for same year F150. But they all say won't fit the Exp as a bolt on. Tempted to buy one through Amazon and check fitment. Drilling a coupke holes in the k rail is no biggie. But if total not fit, then can return to amazon. But ya, sounds...

    Steering Damper to stop wheel jerking.

    But seriously, maybe damaged /worm lower ball joint? I get a strange clunk noise if I go over bumps while turning left from the front right side.

    2013 Traction Control Light Blinking and Power Loss

    Actually, I was able to reset all the modules using Forscan and I haven't had the issue since. So tell me how 762mm was wrong? Have you tried deactivating traction control EVERY time you put it in Drive? Plus, how can I recreate the issue if I'm always deactivating the system with the...

    Leaking sunroof, need new gasket? Any adjustments? What is acceptable amount of leaking?

    Sunroof dr sells the tracked parts that break and a youtube video showing all the steps. Plan on a Sunrise to Sunset project by yourself. Some people report their local non-dealer shop installed the replacment tracked parts for a Quarter of the FoMoCo dealer cost. $30?! What kit is that? $2500...

    Leaking sunroof, need new gasket? Any adjustments? What is acceptable amount of leaking?

    Sounds like the gasket may have dried out and shrunk if it's leaking all the way around. It the tracks are not broken, run the glass back and clean the opening very well, then clean the gasket as best you can. If still leaks like that, get the gasket. It's like $100 at the SunRoofDr...

    Steering Damper to stop wheel jerking.

    Everytime I hit a large bump with my 2013 EL on only one side of the truck, the steering wheel wants to jerk out of my hand and the truck tries to change lanes. Anyone know of a steering damper that will fit? I've owned 2 other 3rd Gens and they didn't drive like that.

    2013 Traction Control Light Blinking and Power Loss

    Autozone showed no codes. Forscan showed Seat control module.

    2013 Traction Control Light Blinking and Power Loss

    Forscan actually did help diagnos my 2013 Taurus C.E.L. So getting forscan was helpful. BTW, Autozone scanner showed nothing. It's basically just a CEL/smog pass scanner. Sure would be nice to get some input, but seems like this forum is dying as the instegators are harrassing people that have...

    Which Tune? MPT vs Livernois vs 5 Star vs Unleashed

    If you go catless, keep your old cats in case you need to sell it. Also, try changing your downstream O2 sensors before anything else. 3.5L burns them up about every 100k miles. I have a 2013 Taurus 3.5L that was throwing bad cat banks 1 & 2 codes. dropped in new Bosch O2 sensors. cleared all...

    5.4L Timing Chain Set; CLoyes or Ford OEM?

    He's not talking a cloned part from autozone... Cloyes make timing chains they claim to meet or beat OEM spec & quality. does anyone know? Price is about the same vs FoMoCo parts.

    2013 Traction Control Light Blinking and Power Loss

    I got FORscan (basic version) and no codes for anything traction/power related. only code was the vertical mirror position sensor (driver seat module).
