After researching possible solutions to the overheating problem with my 2017 EL , I found several posts (mostly from F150 owners) that had some very interesting suggestions. I'll admit up front, this is my first experience with a turbo changed engine, so I found their suggestions a bit strange. As I began a steady climb, my temp gage would start climbing also. My first response was to slow down, which also reduced the RPMs. Then I read that my response should have been to shift out of Drive and into Manual, then dropping to a lower gear (6 -5 - 4 - 3) as necessary to maintain my speed, but increase the RPMs. To my absolute amazement, I watched as the temp gauge returned to normal. I always thought that increasing an engine's RPMs would make the engine work harder, thus increasing the engine temp.
I would never have believed anything different, until I saw it with my own eyes.
Someone (please) with a better understand of my Expedition's engine, help this own guy understand how this works.
