    Skid Plate

    I can confirm the RCI's work well. I drilled a couple extra holes and made a few modifications just to make sure the plates are secure. They are very heavy and needed it. One thing I loved about the RCI was the emergence of the cat protectors. My kit didn't come with them originally so I had...

    2023 -- 2015+ F150 Wagner Knock-off (fits) ✅

    Definitely look through loki's content. I have a Bullydog through 5Star, and it's done well for me. 5star has been easy to get new tunes from and it's worked out well. The only issue is when Ford decides to update the PCM strategy code, and the tuner no longer works, till 5star updates the...

    Billet Valve Covers

    I've had to have mine replaced for cracks as well, don't think i've seen any aftermarket ones.

    2023 -- 2015+ F150 Wagner Knock-off (fits) ✅

    I liked the idea of the trans pan, I just know it wouldn't fit with my skid plates. One thing that has noticeably helped mine was the 170 degree SPD thermostat.

    2023 -- 2015+ F150 Wagner Knock-off (fits) ✅

    That thing is pretty insane. Though I wonder, with stock turbos and pipes, how much of a difference would this make vs. the nearly direct replacement with something like the Mishimoto intercooler I put in. I love the Mishimoto and it was certainly far easier than this thing looks. Interested...

    Heater Hose Help! Leaking Collant

    Unfortunately if there were to be a recall, it would have already happened. this issue has been around for a long time.

    Well, i did my phasers.

    was practically the same as you. Valve body replacement on the tranny failed at about 55k so they had to put in a new tranny.

    26 Expedition - no driver’s side audio

    not sure if it works the same on the 25-26's, but forscan let's you run the audio system tests as well, look for open circuits, etc. it helped me troubleshoot some issues.

    Need some help

    I'm not sure if it would help but I've also had weird experiences on these with short term battery disconnects. My advice would be to always unhook the battery, wait ten minutes or so before reconnecting. Sort of time for every cap to discharge and do a full power down of everything, then...

    2025 Platinum Max engine failure

    Then I'm sure you know these forums are often filled with 2/3rds complaints (just like my history on here) and if there were lots of these motors just flat out dying at 15k miles, we'd hear about it. But hey, Toyota is still replacing motors for essentially that outcome, guess maybe it's too...

    2025 Platinum Max engine failure

    Sadly I have to more look at the fact that it's a rental and who knows if in 15k miles its even had an oil change. we very rarely hear of completely dead 4th and 5th gen motors. that much i can be positive about.

    2027

    Sadly not seeing some options I had hoped to see. I'll be watching some other brands closely over the next year.

    EVAP Issues With Fuel Top Up?

    I will tell you that for me, 90% of the time if I "top it off" I will get back fires. And man it's loud when it happens. I quickly learned on these not to top it off. when it clicks, i'm done.

    2018 Expedition EX-FIre Marshall Truck Horn not working

    ha ha, just replaced my horn. lost one of the tones and it sounded like a scooter horn. not too bad of a job.

    New here, phaser question.

    I had them do the timing chain and associated timing components while they were in there for my second phaser swap.

    Ford Has Issued 69 Safety Recalls This Year

    Wait wait? I get the 26's, they are in production, but '27s?

    Ford Has Issued 69 Safety Recalls This Year

    And that's just recalls. It blows my mind that a company needs a reserve of over $16B to cover warranty costs in general. From what I saw in some of my investor reports, it appears they were averaging between $1.5B to $2B a quarter in warranty claims. Recalls are one thing, but for those of...

    2025 screens went dark

    so is this like the power and skip forward soft reset on the sync 3? i have to do this at least once a week these days, and about 50% of the time it doesn't come back on, even with multiple soft resets, just have to completely power down the truck and wait for 10+ minutes for the BCM to power...

    2018 expedition making tapping noise

    Don't forget these are absolutely famous for the wastegate rattle. Can happen on either side of the engine or both. I had my turbos replaced by ford at around 10k miles due to this, it sounded like a diesel on startup, warm or cold. Noise went away, came back about 30k miles later. Still...

    Garrett Stage 2 turbos

    I can definitely vouch for the quality of the Mishimoto intercooler, I can only imagine you'll need that, lol. Also love the VTA BOV (turbosmart).

    Garrett Stage 2 turbos

    Nope, I did the SPD turbo adapters but definitely didn't go as far as the turbos themselves. I still have warranty so I kind of have to keep that alive. Hey, if nothing else that might get rid of the wastegate rattle, lol

    Belts? Something we can do or not?

    Thanks @BMW2FORD. This is an interesting process and I simply couldn't visualize this, had to see it. Luckily Google did it's thing and showed me this link: https://youtu.be/agjy2gWAJMk?si=FfSBDhnAfjbRYqcI. The tension part of this is no biggie, very similar to so many vehicles I've worked...

    Belts? Something we can do or not?

    Thanks, I'll look around see what that looks like. It's all rust colored and just looks a bit old. I don't see any substantial cracking in the grooves on either belt but they just don't look good.

    Belts? Something we can do or not?

    Hey all, Did a quick search in this forum and couldn't find anything easily. Curious, has anyone done a full belt refresh on this engine? Was just under doing an oil change today and notice both belts looked a bit worn. the AC belt is looking badly discolored, and the primary is looking a...

    Gen 5 Rear End Swap

    Honestly I didn't even think about that. if for example you have the third row seats stowed and you fill the back with stuff, like I do a lot on family trips, there's no way you can reach stuff further back. the small split section will force you to stand at least a full foot further back...
