Anyone have the 15-17 transfer case skid plate part #

[Black]

I have been searching the threads and found the number for the 2018 transfer case skid plate and hardware but am unable to find the part numbers for the 15-17s.

Listed here as a part of the SSV package but can’t seem to locate a part number anywhere.

I don’t have an answer and will be following this thread.

When I ordered my 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4, the salesperson stated that I could not order 4x4 skid plates or an engine block heater - as they were only available on a fleet order.

I wonder many people would order the skids plates on the 4x4 models, if they were an option at any trim level.

Seems odd and Ford is missing an option sale, and irritating the customer.

I’m surprised Ford doesn’t offer the skids plates, with fasteners, as an accessory item.

For 2007-2014 Expeditions there was an “off-road package” which included metal step bars and skid plates. Those options were not available on 15-17 expys. I also don’t think those parts would fit since we have a different chassis on our 07-14 trucks.

If 15-17 SSVs came with skid plates like the 07-14s that’s your best bet. My search for oem skid plates only turns up fitting on 07-14 vehicles.

The link I posted clearly indicates the SSV package includes front, transfer case, and fuel skid plates.
So that means it has a part number.
I’ll run by one of the dealerships tomorrow and see what they can find.
I don’t see why they would not want to sell me a part and make some money.

Swung by the dealer and he is having some difficulty locating that skid plate.
Everything he comes up with sends him a plate of some sort that is in the rear.


Apparently the 7E063 is Fords designation dealing with transfer case parts and accessories. I have been under my Expedition a few times and don’t recognize that plate so I’ll crawl under there when I get home from work.

He came up with the 2018 part with no issue.


I left without the full part number for the plate in the first illustration.
He is going to keep looking and let me know what he finds.
I am a bit curious as to what the differences are for the 18 plate.
I am guessing mounting holes but not sure.

I had the "off road" option on my '07. Skid plate took some hits and I never really drove off-road. The step bars were rust magnets during Ohio winters. Would be interested in the part numbers for the '17 (but not the step bars!).

Sometimes VINs help. 1FMJK1GT0HEA26919 is a 2017 SSV 4X4 example.

No off road package per se for the 15-17s
The SSV adds the transfer case and fuel tank skids
Front and Transmission skids I will be going with RCI Metal works.
Hopefully the Ford transfer case skid plate (if we can ever locate it).
Ford skids for the fuel tank.

The Ford T case seems a little thin and the fuel skid is heavy plastic.
I plan on coating them in Raptor Liner for rust protection but also add some ridgity.

My unknown skid plate came in.
FL1Z-7E063-A
It looks nothing like the picture that was given to me and posted above given to me by the parts guy.
This is the only skid plate he can locate for the SSV aside from the fuel tank skids.
From the picture above this seems to be some sort of rear sway bar skid plate. It is pretty large and a whole lot more solid than I was expecting.
It cost me a whole $13

I have been under the truck a handful of times and don’t remember seeing this plate.
Hopefully weather stays decent and I can slide underneath tonight and see what I can find.

 

[Black]

I got about 10 minutes under the truck before darkness hit and the munchkins arrived home so I just had to crawl under without lifting it at all.

I could not find the plate or where it may even bolt up to.

There is a similar plate/heat shield above the muffler but it is not the same.

 

[JExpedition07]

Maybe try the 07-14’ part? That’s a total crapshoot though....in this 2008 brochure on page 4 it clearly states the off road package includes fuel tank, transfer case, and engine skid plates. Maybe a search for off road package equipped trucks will yield a result. No clue.

Well Black after doing some digging all the skid plates that come up say they fit 07-17’ Expeditions (Non EL), so it may be safe to broaden your search. Do you have an EL? I’m not seeing much for them but I’m sure SSVs have them whether EL or not.

 

[Black]

I have an EL.
For the transfer case it should not matter as it is under the front driver’s seat so the dimensions would be the same.
The part number is being elusive for some reason.

Here's the transfer case skid plate for my 2008:

7L1Z-7E063-AC -- Ford's book says it fits builds 08/2007 - 08/2014. About $60.



This was one hard part number to find. Good luck finding one for a later model. Note that it mounts onto the outside sides of the frame rails.

There's a FL1Z-7E063-B but I can't find an accurate picture of it.

 

[chuck s]

Waiting for the submission of your research...

[Black]

A is the engine skid plate and B is the transmission skid plate. I have both of those already but will be replacing them with RCI plates.
Though I just hopped on RCI’s website and they no longer have any listing for the Expeditions like they used to just the F150 though they are the same plates.

Not sure how I missed this post.
Do you have a picture of it installed??

That is clearly the part in the diagram I posted earlier that the parts guy gave me but the part number he was able to find for it was different and so was the part.

The part I received is clearly a skid plate of some sort just have no clue where is goes.

that looks very much like the engine skid plate that was on my 2013 F150 ecoboost, i know its not..but it looks awfully close

 

[Trainmaster]

I can't post a picture of it installed now; the car is in Guam but should be back here in a week or two. The ears on the sides wrap around the frame rails and bolt to speed nuts on the outside of the frame. The whole thing hangs down pretty low and is quite visible if you don't have running boards.

 

[Black]

So does it run near the front sway bar??
From the parts diagram I was assuming that was the rear bar.
