    P0390 and P0394 codes today, no oil pressure a week ago

    I was simply pointing out that during an engine auto stop, the oil pressure will drop to zero while the engine is off, but return to normal after the engine restarts. This low oil pressure might take someone by surprise if they didn't realize it was during the engine off period.

    Changed plugs and noticed this?

    or, could it be that someone got sloppy adding oil and it seeped into that area?

    Am I just shifting/driving wrong or is the 10r80 that "questionable"?

    You need to tell us what model year and miles on your Expy. I would never manually downshift/upshift in this vehicle. Just put it in D and drive. Learn to use the Drive Mode knob to change behavior. For example, Sport Mode will maintain a higher RPM, shifting later while accelerating and down...

    P0390 and P0394 codes today, no oil pressure a week ago

    By chance, did your low oil pressure occur during Auto Start/Stop? When the engine stops, oil press will go to zero. Normal.

    Remote Start Use Questions

    But if it's included in the App, you have the functionality in your hand. It sounds like Ford decided to save some $$ on the fobs.

    Needed a quick oil change. Wish I had gone to the dealer.

    200 over plus a weekend trip is no need to do a panic oil change. There's a lot of "play" in those time/mileage recommendations.

    physical key not working

    The procedure I just posted for displaying the factory door lock code says to place the fob with buttons facing rearward, and the key ring upward. See Step 2 in the image.

    Keypad entry - don’t have code!

    For my 2020, I found a procedure for obtaining the code using the key fobs and the slot in the cup holder. You can find it in the online Owner's Manual at Ford Owner Support. Maybe in the printed Owner's Manual as well. You need two functioning fobs for this to work.

    Odd Startup Behaviour - Cold Start Pull Away, Uphill

    If you have the parking brake set, it will hold the car back a little getting going. Also, in the uphill configuration, there is a hill hold assist that will do the same thing. It's possible that either of these two "braking" features will develop an odd noise over time.

    2022 Expedition XLT 13.5 mpg

    Last Fall, we took our '20 Limited MAX on a roadtrip from Monument, CO to Alamosa, CO, Antonito, CO, Chama, NM, Pagosa Springs, CO, over Wolf Creek Pass back to Alamosa. We left Monument with a full tank. Upon getting back to Alamosa, we filled up and the range to empty was over 700 miles! The...

    Ford notified me NEW Sync 3 firmware update is available

    Correct, your computer doesn't know what to do with the XML file, but the Ford website does. The instructions are not clear, but you have to go back to the Ford Owner Website where you downloaded the update file and with your USB stick in the computer there is a button / file selection box to...

    Ford notified me NEW Sync 3 firmware update is available

    There are instructions on the website where you downloaded your update file to your USB stick. They are at the end of the procedure (obviously)

    Ford notified me NEW Sync 3 firmware update is available

    Ford would not know you updated at Cyan Labs. I disabled over-the-air updates and instead use the USB stick method of downloading and updating my SYNC 3. The final step is uploading the results of the update to the Ford Owner Website. This is the way Ford keeps track of the version you have. My...

    Power Running Boards

    That's the way they are supposed to work. If you don't like the way AUTO works when you are going in and out a lot, you can always (1) leave a door slightly ajar, or (2) re-activate OUT mode. Either of these will keep the boards out until you drive off again.

    Steering Grinding?

    All that's left to check is the power steering assist. Maybe the fluid is low? Are you holding the steering wheel against the stop? If you back it off the stop, does the noise stop?

    Spare tire questions from a Ford noob

    My stock main tire is 275 / 55 R 20, which is 31.91 inches tall, not 32.10, so it's closer to the spare size of 31.61 inches. Maybe you have a different size main tire? Still, I agree with your recommendation not to drive any farther than necessary on the spare, if ever needed.

    Spare tire questions from a Ford noob

    I did not look for that. Next time I get my primary tires rotated, I will re-examine the spare and evaluate for balancing / replacement based on date code and condition.

    Spare tire questions from a Ford noob

    Last summer I got into the spare tire situation after owning our 2020 for 9 months. We were planning a road trip and I just wanted to get familiar with the tool and tire situation, so I lowered the wheel / tire to inspect and top-off the air. As you can see, our 2020 has 265 / 70 R 17 on steel...

    My 2019 4WD Limited went nuts today

    Well, with the smart battery management system, the charging voltage will drop when "the system" thinks the battery is already charged, so you won't see a constant 14+ volts when running.

    2019 limited A/C not COLD

    I understand the best metric of A/C performance is the thermometer you stick into the air vent, not the low side / high side pressures. The thing you use the low side pressure for is not to over service (over fill) it. That will definitely lower the performance (it won't get as cold as it...

    My 2019 4WD Limited went nuts today

    The voltage while running is a measure of the charging system, not the battery. You should measure the voltage of the battery with the engine off, but ignition on. Put the ignition on by pressing the power button without pressing the brake pedal.

    Alarm went off, was it a door handle? (UPDATE: Probably a large bug inside the car)

    You're way too considerate! What's worse, waking them up at midnight or a minor disturbance during the day when most are up?

    One month in, observations, questions and verification

    Could you be talking about the backup camera?
