CCD OR NOT????

[fordperfaddict]

But from what I’m seeing. Limited and limited stealth non performance have sport susp?

 

[dlcorbett]

They do not have sport suspension. Only the spp has sport suspension.

From what I read here, if a vehicle has sport suspension, the CCD becomes a must-have. Otherwise, no one will feel comfortable on road.

My 18 expy had the reg suspension no ccd on 20s. I liked the ride, but it was still a bit too firm. I couldn't imagine it with 22s. To see ppl here buying this or any fs truck or suv with 22s without any type of active damper blows my mind. Even more so if they complain about it.

My personal experience is, the comfortness for regular suspension vehicle is highly related to tire pressure. Whenever the tire pressure is on or above 42 PSI, I feel the vehicle is over stiff. Lower than that, it's fine and smooth.

Tbh, tire pressure helps but not all the time. When I daily drive, I notice things a bit more. Also, when I daily drive it, I can feel the ride get more brittle the more I drive. Mines has been sitting on about 36psi for a while now and the ride still fluctuate greatly. This is my biggest issue with the ride really. Most trips, the ride is exemplary, but there some trips where the ride will deteriorate to a shopping cart. If I let it sit for a few days however, the rides as smooth as glass unless I drive for an extended amount of time where it'll start to get rough. This was for both the expy and the nav.

I stand corrected, both sp's have sport suspension

 

[fordperfaddict]

for 2022+ both 303A and 304A have "Sport-Tuned Suspension".

what about 302-A on the "regular" Limited. they should've just made the stealth a different trim all together to make this stuff easier.

i have a list of part numbers but no idea what they belong to or which vehicle

my thought would be to put a 302 shock on the stealth truck in the rear. im guessing it rides softer

I personally feel that my xlt with bilsteins rode better in every way than my platinum with ccd. I wish I did NOT have CCI have a 2019 MAX Limited. I have 22" Wheels. Does not feel good regular street driving but feels fine on the highway. What bilstein shocks did you use, if you dont mind me asking?

Sport Tuned Suspension is only listed as standard equipment on 303A and 304A.

@stockfritz2019 I used the bilstein 5100's at the stock height setting. I really liked them, made a huge difference over stock.

Yes , that I do understand. But does anyone know the part number to the 302 shock? And by that part number I’m gonna try to somehow find out how much softer it is. Unless the spring is different also….

 

[camaro888]

From what I can find, these are the Base trim level part #'s. Also, from what I can find, all coil springs are the same/same part #'s.

Front - JL1Z18124W
Rear - JL1Z18125Y

I did find when I first got mine, I didn't like the ride. Then I was told, since mine was a certified pre-owned, to reset the PCM memory. So, I had it done, and I must say it changed everything from performance to shifting, acceleration, gas mileage, etc. I'm still a fan of CCD.

 

[dlcorbett]

I've driven 3 low-mileage 22 Expeditions: my Platinum w/CCD and 2 rentals w/out CCD. Night and day difference — I would never buy an expedition without CCD. It handles rough gravel/dirt/washboard roads even better than my Navigaitors did with their air shocks.

I'm hoping ford was able to find that magic with the my25 remodels.

Do you have any pictures? I do have the CCD but unfortunately the ride is getting wobbly. I purchased Bilsteins and will be swapping soon. CCD was fine when I purchased it at 45000 miles but at 77000 miles, it has deteriorated in my opinion. Anyone else with CCD experienced this?

Close to 80000 miles on my Platinum. My ride is perfect. I periodically reset everything with ForScan, as there is a learning process where it analyzes your driving habits and road conditions and adjusts accordingly. Resetting it brings back to factory and starts learning again. It resets transmission shifting, CCD and performance.

 

[naslime]

Interesting. Will reflashing a tune reset it as well (I believe it resets the transmission)? Will look into forscan.
