What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

[Jace]

Well technically I haven't done it yet as it'll be about 2 weeks before my Expedition will be ready for pickup, but I did just finish up ordering an Autostop Eliminator. There isn't a single traffic light where I live, so the feature is more annoying than helpful.

I'm pretty excited!

Picked up vehicle two weeks ago. Put 3M crystalline on all windows plus 10% tint on front. Makes a huge difference in heat/sun block in west Texas. Waxed, installed Auto eliminator, put trailer hitch on and removed dealer license plate holder.

Man had it a week... love it! The ride is amazing... have 16 F150 and it’s hard to believe how much better this rides! Awesome!

Got to work on blacking out all the chrome trim.

 

[Breaker]

Took delivery of mine a couple days ago. So far I have:

-Installed the WeatherTech cargo mat
-Installed the WeatherTech dog Guard (super flimsy and probably going to get broken by my dogs, really need Travall to work their magic with our cars)
-Hardwired my Uniden R7 radar detector
-Loaded my 5 Star Tuning tune
-Added a mini-fridge

I’m coming from a Range Rover. I really, really miss the soft close doors and the refrigerator in the center console for baby formula, but other than that I’m loving this rig! I can modify the mini-fridge I purchased, and it should fit inside the center console. In the meantime, it’ll hang out by the car seat.

After driving my Gen II Raptor stock then seeing the difference tuning makes in throttle response and shifts, I knew I had to do the same for the Expedition.

Going to black out all the chrome over the next few weeks. Unsure what I’ll do with the wheels. Thinking of going with a dark bronze.



Got mine tuned out. Just saying this as an option to anyone that comes across this post/thread.



What percent did you go with in the front? I’m thinking somewhere around 15-20%.

I was checking out that tune. How good are the MPG gains? I also notice that in performance mode, you almost gain 100hp, that's insane! Did they take off the auto off/on feature?

TBH, I don’t ever look at my MPG. I just drive the car the way I enjoy driving it. I’m sure on the 87 daily tune, you’ll end up saving quite a bit of money, since you get more power than the stock tune but pay less at the pump. I’m not sure if there’s much associated improvement in MPG’s though.

I drive around most of the time on the 91 Daily tune, which is a substantial improvement over stock in terms of torque, throttle input and shifts.

I had them disable the auto off/on feature. Can’t stand that.

If you’re at all thinking about it, I’d say you definitely need to make the jump and get it tuned. I modify all my vehicles, and on an OEM boosted setup, it’s a no brainer. Plenty of gains and smiles to be had.

Funny thing about it, we bought the Expy for my wife. She is happy with it the way it is, but here I am over here saying, babe, I can make it better! lol For the most part, we take it everywhere on the weekend, so I get to enjoy it then. It sure is way different than my 08 F150 with the 4.6l, I'll say that. My truck acts like the family hauler with the horrible acceleration and low power.

You won’t see much if any mpg gains especially with perf only tunes in higher octane. The truck is completely different animal, even with a lower octane tune like 91 like you said. @Breaker i would head over to 5 stars page and look at their graphs. Very impressive gains on the 10 speeds. Ive got the 93 perf only tune and 93 perf tow on my 16 and I’m guessing easily 100 hp over stock. I keep wanting to try e30 but too many ppl seem to be having issues with injectors, torque limits, and traction control issues

No, it is the inserts that go on the tail gate where the EXPEDITION name is. These seemed decently reasonable at about $20. CDN off Amazon.

Do you have the link ? Ive been looking for the tailgate inserts in black for "EXPEDITION".

Got to work on blacking out all the chrome trim.

Maybe I missed it somewhere along the way, but how did you go about blacking out the chrome? Plastidip? Wrap? Paint? Just curious, as I like the look and am contemplating doing it as well...

I did plasticdip. Out of habit, I use a pressure washer and foam cannon when I wash my cars, and I blew off all the plasticdip LOL

So I’m going to do it again, but use SEM black trim paint.

Installed a 180 degree thermostat and had 5 star update the tune. Those guys are the greatest . A few degrees cooler and a couple more horsepower.been a long time since I've enjoyed a vehicle so much.totally amazing what right at 500 horses can do to make a tank fun to drive.

Need help with what I have done. First post. Added S&B CAI and 5star tune to my new '19 Expedition platinum. Had CEL after CAI and was told by 5star that it should resolve after loading tune- -but it didn't. Now I also have P0022 (camshaft position over-retarded) in addition to P0113(IA Temp Sensor circuit high). Truck runs ok. Has anyone had this problem and or know how to resolve? 5star recommends replacing with stock air box. Appreciate input. Here is a pic of my Expedition/Supra.

Yeah that IAT issue is known to pop up with pretty much any CAI. I have a K&n CAI and I had issues with crankcase ventilation system disconnected. Had to buy a vent tube insert to go in to a PCV fitting which fixed the issue. I’d go back to stock air box and return the truck to stock tune, Update your device again on software, and reinstall tune only

Thank you!

I added the letters already. Looks good.

Based on this example, I ordered them from Amazon and installed on my '19 last week. Truck is filthy due to weird rain and unpaved roads so no pics yet
