    Moving on....

    I rented a Sienna for a 10 day trip up the coast in California last year and it was fantastic. 36mpg stuck in LA traffic or going 75 on the 101. You're not going to win any drag races in it but the power is adequate. It was enough for maintaining 70mph up a steep hill that went on for about 4...

    Is my mpg reasonable?

    Wow, not so "eco"boost. I get about 15 hand calculated in my 10 Navigator mainly suburban trips.

    Oil Filter: Is there a larger one that fits?

    This would probably work on any Expedition up to 2014 as the filter is the same. I would prefer a vertically mounted filter, personally.

    Anyone replaced their air suspension with the standard setup?

    I actually looked for something like this, or even an adjustable shock, didn't find anything. Manual control with the stock air springs would cut out a lot of the electrical complexity. I've seen this done with supplemental air bags on pickups and a schrader valve put near the license plate...

    Anyone replaced their air suspension with the standard setup?

    Thanks guys. Found it on RockAuto for $371 plus shipping. For some reason it's not listed under 2010 Lincoln Navigator, but I found it doing a parts number search. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=6370539&jsn=10907 Instructions are also on RockAuto -...

    Transmission fluid change or flush

    @TobyU Well, I remove my transmission oil pan when I do a drain and fill. I did modify it with a Dorman drain bolt, but that doesn't get all the fluid out, you still have to drop it to get all the fluid, but it definitely helps with making less of a mess. There is a magnet on the...

    New To Me '11 Expedition SSV

    What is an SSV? Like a police vehicle? Consider a timing job on any high mileage 5.4 3 valve. Telltale signs are a rattling on cold startup (chains slapping together), or ticking when you power brake it in the drive through about 1200 rpm (phasers and/or solenoids). Change all the fluids...

    Increasing Oil Level / Crankcase Pressure Sensor Performance (P051B)

    I don't know about your problem per se, but, allowing a direct injection engine time to fully warm up idling is a bad idea. DI engines are notorious for fuel dilution. Yes, give it a little bit of time after you start it to come off high idle and stablize, but then, gently drive off until it's...

    Anyone here replace their OEM turbos with aftermarket - looking at PowerMax bolt on kit

    I vote for stock, personally speaking. If the old stock setup was working fine then why mess with it? The OEM manifolds have been redesigned from what I understand. $550 is a lot cheaper than what I would have expected a stock replacement kit to be.

    Anyone replaced their air suspension with the standard setup?

    Well right now I seem to be holding air but anytime the temp goes below 50-55 or so, if I start it up, all the air goes out of the rear end. When that happens I will remote start it several times and eventualy it usually comes back up. Also if the temperature warms up quite a bit it will...

    Drastic drops/returns of oil pressure (5.4L 3v 2009)

    Good point, he might just be bouncing between low and even lower oil pressure. I have always heard exactly what you said, the gauge is really a 7psi switch. The Ford spec for the 5.4 3Vis for minimum 15 psi hot idle but really that's reduced from the prior minimum of 25, that might be another...

    Transmission fluid change or flush

    I just drain and fill, and do it more often, like every 15-17K. The fluid comes out looking about the same as it did going in, which is what I want. If it comes out looking used up, you have a problem.

    2011 Expedition No power very sluggish

    The 5.4 3V is not exactly fast, this is a 310 HP engine in a 6000 lb SUV. I would call it adequate, no more. Both the Ecoboost and the GM 6.2 are rocketships compared to the 5.4 3V, I drove both before buying mine. Of course if you have an issue it's going to be worse. I assume you have...

    Need 2014 Limited Factory Service manual

    The Helm manuals are out of print for my 2010. Not sure about a 2014. On a 2022 not surprised they had them in stock. I did find some paper manuals for my 2010 for sale on ebay.

    transmission temp got to 300 degrees, is that hot enough to where it needs a rebuild/replace transmission?

    The dealer's fix for most everything transmission related is throwing a reman at it. Yeah a Ford reman is going to have a 2/24 warranty but what about after that? Nothing wrong with a good indy shop. You're more likely to get updated aftermarket parts that resolve OEM issues going through an...
