    Burnt Smell + Oil?

    my '16 had a burnt oil smell and sometimes visible smoke after a hill climb. I suspect it was simply that the turbo got and stayed at peak temp vs. the rest of my flat driving at lower loads. sure enough the vacuum pump was leaking and rebuilding it remedied the situation. I also changed top...

    2016 3.5l Ecoboost Coolant Fluctuation

    another diagnostic concept would be to get a "real" coolant temp reading through OBD and consider the temp "gauge" on dash is likely more of an electronic readout, calculated by input from perhaps an erratic sensor? brief research seems to indicate the $30 sensor is on passenger rear of engine...

    24 stealth edition too much juice?

    simply don't floor it.. then that "high" peak power won't be realized, but it remains there if you need it. nobody would say a 3,000 pound car was overpowered at 225hp (fox mustang), but rather that it was fun, so a 6,000 pound truck can easily deal the same way with 450hp. your driving comfort...

    Power Stop drilled and slotted full kit with calipers

    2,500 mile review of the powerstop kit i grabbed on rock auto for my 2016 expedition ssv. when purchasing the vehicle with 80k miles, good stopping but slight shimmy that increased as brakes were warmer rather than fiddle with some parts here and there, looked into a full kit with brand new...

    Hellwig 7696 is installed on 2024 Expedition

    different gen Expy, but i did Hellwig rear, then also front on my 2016 SSV - rear did more than the front, but they both help a lot - much flatter and more controlled handling. I found the front factory anti sway bar to be VERY substantial, not leaving a ton of room for improvements other than...

    Need opinions on 2014 and 2015

    quite happy with 2016.. there are issues for the future, but nothing crazy or uncommon. I usually upgrade whenever parts replacements allow. if you like to giggle on occasion when accelerating, the ecoboost will give you that, especially with a tune. I love the hill climbing capability at low...

    Body roll when turning

    i just installed Hellwig antiroll bar upgrades on my 2016 SSV. I did the rear first and I'd say that's the bigger victory as the factory bar flexes quite a bit. The Hellwig rear bar isn't a ton thicker, but the metallurgy is superior and way stiffer. As for the front factory bar - it's...

    2016 SSV driver's window auto operation

    my new to me 2016 XL Fleet / SSV model says auto on the driver's window switch. it does go UP in auto - no problems at all, but it doesn't go down in auto. i thought this was odd. is this correct operation or a reset / "learning" needed?
