    Hi guys! I just purchased a 2018 Ford Expedition Max Limited at the ripe mileage of 180,000. This was previously a livery vehicle and so almost all of the miles are highway miles.

    Lack of acceleration after 1st gear. Clogged cat?

    Hey everyone, I've got a 2011 expy with 170K miles on it and I'm starting to experience a major lack of acceleration after shifting into 2nd gear and above. I just replaced the spark plugs and coil packs so I don't think those are the problem. My suspected issue is a clogged cat (I owned an...
