    Quick question on vehicle sounds - interior

    Hey all, Curious if anyone has had this happen if so, did you do anything to fix it or did it mysteriously fix itself like it happened? I recently noticed that sounds I'm used to are no longer happening or are happening randomly instead of regularly. A couple examples: - Parking sensor...

    4th Gen - AFE CAI

    Hi all, not sure if anyone want this but I have a 4th Gen AFE cold air intake, all clamps and pieces included. I also have the plastic diverter that needs to go into the turbo intake hose, as well as an extra bottle of filter oil that's brand new. I just decided to go with a different CAI and...

    Would love some folks thoughts on this, regarding oil changes on this engine.

    First, the video. I know this guy and his shop are highly regarded in the Ford automotive world, but something just feels off here. https://youtu.be/eHPSgqipk-E For the last three vehicles including this one, I've been very, very stringent on maintaining my oil change intervals, based on the...

    2019 Backfire issue?

    Hey all, hoping some folks can come up with some good ideas here. Over the last 2 months or so, this issue has crept up virtually every time I fill up. It ONLY happens when I fill up and it happens within one or two minutes after filling up, and within less than a mile of driving. So for...

    Moonroof popping noise - 2019 Platinum

    Hey all, Quick question, as this is becoming more and more of an annoyance for me. More and more often, when I hit certain types of bumps, or even when I do something as simple as drive over the curb pulling into my driveway, i can hear a popping sound that appears to be coming from the...

    Seat belt cover grenade-ed itself.

    I know there's some folks on here that have access to fancy parts and repair manuals. the cover doesn't appear to have a valid part number on it, and after searching several of the Ford parts sites, it almost looks like you have to replace the entire seat belt receiver, which just blows my mind...

    2019 tranny issue - reverse initially unresponsive

    I'm guessing this has something to do with a "feature" but curious if anyone else experiences this. I have a really annoying thing that has happened for years off and on, but it seems to be almost all the time now. I'll set the stage, just about any time I do something like a 3-point u-turn...

    DTC - P068A - Any thoughts?

    Hey All, So here I am again, with my quarterly or monthly issue. A couple days ago, while driving I experienced the lovely P0430, which I've had a few times over the last couple years. Usually, I just plug in either my tuner or my code reader and read the codes, then clear them and keep going...

    Leaking steering rack

    While under my rig today, troubleshooting some noises, I stumbled across the attached image. Sure looks to me like a heavy weight axle grease is making it's way out of the boot, which usually means moisture and dirt are likely getting in. This is the passenger side, the driver side was pretty...

    Rear wiper issues.

    Anyone experience an issue where the rear wiper arm, when turned on at any setting will often stop about half way, make a popping sound and go back to it's resting spot on it's first movement? Of course it's sporadic so getting it to do it at the dealer is going to be fun. But it doesn't...

    Replacing rear bumper trim panel - anyone had to?

    Hi All, So luckily yesterday while at a customer's site, someone politely hit my rear bumper in a parking lot, and left without a note or anything. While most folks might ignore the remaining damage, i'm quite **** and it really bugs me, so I'm considering repairing what I can. Sadly I didn't...

    4th Gen Maintenance Questions

    So I'm curious, when I check the factory maintenance schedule, I don't see any mention of typical services I've done with every 4WD I've ever owned. even past 100k miles. Things like 4Wheel service, differential flushes, T-Case and tranny flush, etc. Does anyone have a different schedule that...

    Platinum Grill and Bumper - Rattle

    Hey all - so lately I've been notice a bit of a clunking/rattling noise as I go over speed bumps and cracks in the road. Happens at virtually any speed and it's pretty loud. I actually initially thought that maybe somehow it was my skid plates so I crawled under, took them off, and found it...

    Strange Engine/Turbo Behavior - Post 5Star Tune

    Hi All, I Actually started talking about this issue in a different thread, in the 5Star forum, but I figured I'd post it here since it's not directly associated with the previous thread. Here's the original thread, for reference...

    4th Gen windshield replacement? Almost made me lose my mind.

    Looking for some experience from our fellow owners. As is so common in Colorado with both sides of the highway a trash pile, little debris cleanup, and sand everywhere, I had a pebble hit the windshield and splinter from the bottom left up to the top left in an hour. I've always used Safelite...

    Pretty funny slash awesome security feature...

    Curious how far this goes, given the fact that for example so many parts are shared between Fiat Chrysler vehicles and others, I really like this idea. With FordPass, it would be even more awesome if we could initiate something like this remotely, with a delayed effect. Meaning, to prevent...

    Ford field service action number 21B10

    Anyone else recently received this notification on the Ford pass app? It essentially says it's a recall, but it's claiming I need to have PCM reprogram for cam phaser rattle. But I just had the entire vct/phaser fix dinner about 1500 miles ago. One would think that would've been done during...

    Travel Trailer Recommendations.

    Hey Folks... Looking for some constructive input here, in a way that hopefully creates a thread folks way on down the road can use as well. I realize that many folks have personal attachments (almost said religious but didn't want to get in trouble these days, lol) to certain brands but I'm...

    Ford Customer Service Contact List?

    Anyone have a list of contacts at Ford Customer Service? Reason I'm asking, is that their 800 number is pretty pointless, you hardly get people stateside any more and the they seem to be completely unable to help. So far my experience with them is they can't escalate issues, they can't look...

    couple questions - 2020 vs. 2019

    Hey all, Quick question, I have a 2020 XLT 202A loaner right now for my Platinum 2019 as I'm in for a 5th service lately. With that, I noticed on this, in the advanced settings, it gives me an option to swap the tranny temp gauge for a boost gauge. Anyone know if you can unlock this via...

    Remote start driver convenience and weather...

    Quick question folks, hoping someone can tell me if there's a way to get this to work. Not sure if its one of those magic features unlocked in Forscan, or if it simply doesn't exist. In my previous vehicle, when I would use remote start, say in cold weather, the car would automatically turn on...

    Has anyone tried one of these vaults yet, on an Expy?

    https://egclassics.com/products/console-safe-half-box I really like that this one is only half of the console, still leaves usable space including the ability to use a removable tray. I know some folks have used the consolevault, but that takes up the entire space. I do wish either had a...

    Anyone created a 4th Gen Noise Reference Topic?

    Hey All, Curious if anyone has ever created a useful noise reference, with possible examples and fixes? Even if they are dealer visits with parts etc, would be nice to have. Maybe even a standard format would make it nice to read through. And the idea being, that if you get a good diagnosis...

    Strange tranny behavior (I think).

    Just completed my first major trip, about 6.5hrs of driving. All in all, this thing is great, comfortable, super peppy, great response. Only three issues I had, Sync 3.4 usability, crosswinds that made this thing feel like I was driving an RV, and the tranny. All in all the tranny was...

    Feedback on SPD Performance downpipes?

    Hey All, I didn't see any reviews of these, so I thought I'd ask. Anyone have the catted SPD performance downpipes and have some sort of review. I already have the SPD turbo adapters but have yet to install them, wanted to wait till I bought the downpipes and just do both at the same time...
