    FORScan programming options

    I changed mine to six flashes. I did mine via the Hexidecimal as-built method. Looking into this again (F-150 forums), looks like you can do it through the comfort mode.

    Icon F150 Tremor for Timberline

    You need to start a build thread of what you got going on! More so, everyone's going to be asking (including myself) what you had to do to make that Ironman front bumper work besides just trimming that front bumper panel.

    Rear Defrost Tab and ESP

    If you have a steady hand at soldering, I would try it yourself. Really isn't a reason everyone getting the glass replaced unless the conductors have somehow suffered excessive damage.

    2018 Max Platinum 4x4 - Maintenance Reccomendations

    You do not gap them, they are pregapped. There's even a warning not to. Most of these newer non-copper plugs are like this these days. You can double check them to ensure that they are close to spec or all even, but due to some of these newer exotic materials used, the spark characteristics...

    Radar Detector Mirror Wiring

    I tried one of those dashcam adapters for my Escort since it's really nice and clean looking, but my RD runs on 12v instead of the USB 5v and didn't work. Went back to the original mirror taps. Just something to keep in mine with those harnesses.

    70mph + vibration

    Another discreet culprit could be the front pinion bearing. I just replaced my front pinion seal due to it leaking with the help of an experienced mech friend of mine. We pulled out the oil slinger and pinion bearing while at it to inspect and all looked good. When we put the nut back on and...

    2018 Max Platinum 4x4 - Maintenance Reccomendations

    Just installed these, went without a hitch. They're working great as far as I can tell. I feel like highway mpg has increased, but don't have enough data to back that up. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=9779924&cc=3440431&pt=7212&jsn=941

    Ford Expedition Shop/Service Manual

    Thanks for the sticky! I've been wondering how to get my hands on a FSM. A few time already I've could've used this.

    2019 Expy XLT halogen to led swap.

    I have the Morimoto 3.0's. I upgraded just before the 4's came out, but they're pretty much the same other than the improved chip mounting area. I had the low beams as DRL's for a short while and had no issues. I'm not sure if I even noticed a flicker. I have since reprogrammed via FORScan...

    SPC upper Control Arms - anyone?

    I'll chime in on previous experience that I had with SPC UCA's that I had on a 4Runner. They do work well in being very versatile in dialing in A LOT of adjustment. That being said, it's like the old saying too much of a good thing can be bad. I found that quite a few shops that I would take...

    Aftermarket Rear Diff Cover

    It would be nice if there were one for the front. Changing the fluid requires siphoning as there's no room between the cover and steering rack to service. You can almost see in the diff casting south of the fill plug that there may have been plans to put one in.

    4th Gen Amplifier Install Locations

    Thanks for that link. I think I have heard similarly that the 4G has a similar space available behind the quarter panel. Might be more in there for me since I don't have a factory sub. I do have space behind the dash as well. I did an install to amplify my center channel with a Soundstream...

    4th Gen Amplifier Install Locations

    In the planning stages of upgrading my stock basic Sync setup. Just looking for install ideas of where some have already installed amps. I'm sure the common areas are under the front seats. Looking for any additional areas of creativity (behind trunk paneling, etc.).

    Tail signal lights

    Glad to hear that has worked out for you. I'd be interested in seeing pictures of how and what you have done to get this working. I was also looking at this recently and thinking another way to get individual signals would be to tap into the 7-pin trailer harness. For the turn signals, sounds...

    How To: Install Ford Permiter Plus Vehicle Security System

    I just completed installing the Ford VSS+ module to my Expedition. My truck is rather base and plain for an XLT (200A), and thus it did not come with a remote start or security system. The remote start was my primary want and the security system was a secondary benefit. I was able to pick up...
