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

[5280tunage]

Went ahead and installed the Ford security module (FT4Z-19A361-A). I didn't care about the remote start as the platinum already has it, I just wanted the shock sensor. So far it works great. Really wish you didn't need this massive module for a simple two stage shock sensor, but I'm glad it was plug and play.

Also bought a piece of 1/8" stock aluminum to make the rigid mounting bracket, I saw on some f150 forums that there's a company that makes the brackets, but they want $40 plus shipping. Bought two pieces of aluminum on eBay, shipped for $22 and it took me all of 30 minutes to make it all. And now I have extra aluminum.

I installed it this way specifically so I could access the adjustment knob for the sensitivity. Kind of a pain to get to the bolts though.

Also, for the site mods, shouldn't this thread just be a sticky?

I’ve been thinking the same thing myself

 

[Lghtspeedz]

According to the description on the RockAuto site, they come pregapped at .032? If tuned, or regularly running hard, .028 is the better gap. You mention that yet the description says .032?

Ok, I’ve been reading the threads where these plugs are mentioned. I have a stock setup with 20k miles on it. I tow a 5,200lb. boat and trailer several times per year. I’m pretty sold on upgrading these plugs. Plus I live in the Northeast so this thing sees the range of temperatures. What is the most appropriate gap for my setup? The .031” or .028” or something else? Is there anything else that should be changed on these motors when you swap the plugs? I’m still a new Ford guy so I’m learning what to do and not do. Thanks!

Well, I did not do it. A red light runner did it.

Sadly, I have seen pics of other owners who had their totaled with what looks to be less damage.

Hope you didn't get hurt.

for the 2022, my order is planned for production, and I cannot go add the HD tow package. My wife now wants to have a tow hitch added so we can use the bike hitch. I'm wondering once I get the Expedition, would going to uhaul to get a hitch added, will it affect the warranty?

You are in luck. All Expeditions come from the factory with the tow hitch (2" x 2" receiver). The HD tow adds the capability to tow more weight (up to 9,300 lbs on some models vs. the non of 6,000 lbs). You'll have no issues installing your bike hitch.

Sorry to see / hear this! Hope everyone is okay.

No injuries. My 19 year old son and I were just shaken up.

Thanks. Yes, we are fine. Other driver, too.

Looks like you almost made it into hover mode.
Glad you and your son are ok.

 

[dlcorbett]

Hey, the truck did what is was supposed to. The main reason we buy these big beasts right.

@Lou Hamilton So sorry to hear this. Glad you and your boy are well. I am very sad to see your baby here in this condition.

@Lou Hamilton So sorry to hear this. Glad you and your boy are well. I am very sad to see your baby here in this condition.

Thanks. The hardest part now is the wait for the insurance company to decide whether it is totaled or fixable.

Rental company put me in a 4Runner. This thing is basic. Need to use the key to open the doors, start the car. Manually turn on the headlights. I really think this is the true base model of this model. I know, first world problems, but when you come from an almost fully loaded Expedition, this thing sucks.

BTW, funny thing is that I went to pick my 19 year old son from work and he laughed and asked what year was the rental car. He was surprised how minimal it was. I'm pretty sure it is a 2021 as it only has 19K miles on it.

That sucks! Sorry it happened to you, but glad no one was injured.

My Expy was rear ended by a drunk driver last July resulting in less damage than what your truck appears to have and the repair tab was nearly $15K. The FMV of these big SUVs has plummeted in the last 2 months due to gas prices, which may prompt the insurance company to total it. Hope it all works out for you.

Added the Expedition letters on the hood.

Yes, I know they are not the same font as the 2022 rear ones. However, until I can get a set of Timberline specific ones, these will make due.

I put on my old wheels. No rubbing. No trimming.
