    2025 ford expedition redesign

    I love the ride. It's solid. After a bump/dip, it just settles right out. But I have the CCD.

    TSB 23-2250 - 2018-2023 Expedition/Navigator + Other Models - 10R80 Auto Trans + Others - Harsh/Delayed Engagement And/Or Harsh/Delayed Shift

    I think I experienced my first real "klunk" braking to a stop (firmly, not hard, not soft). It was a VERY obvious screwed up downshift. Hard "klunk". It's going in for an oil change in 150 miles. So I'll bring it up then. Oh well. Welcome me to your ranks.

    TSB 23-2250 - 2018-2023 Expedition/Navigator + Other Models - 10R80 Auto Trans + Others - Harsh/Delayed Engagement And/Or Harsh/Delayed Shift

    There's 2 reasons I got the 7yr PremiumCare plan when I bought my 23. #1 All of the electronics in this thing. #2 Transmission issues.

    DC to DC charger wiring

    I just used the 7-pin. My DC-DC is only pulling 18A, It's a 14.5V (15A max) DC-DC converter. So the most it'll ever pull is 18A I use 14.5V to charge my lithium camper batteries. 15A isn't a lot, but usually it's just topping them off as I drive to the camp ground.

    DC to DC charger wiring

    I have a 15A DC-DC charger in my camper. It pulls 18A from the 12V DC charge line on the truck. Works just fine. It's going to depend on how big a DC-DC charger you plan on using. I think the charge line is fused at 30A on my 2011 and 20A on my 2023.

    2025 ford expedition redesign

    I'm anxiously awaiting the my25 release. I have my fingers crossed for a hybrid. If a hybrid is available, I'm trading my 23 for it. Period. In my dreams that the hybrid is an option on whatever engine is available for the trim level. So instead of the F-150s hybrid on top of the base 380HP...

    2010 Expedition, starting issues. Starter replaced twice, need next culprit...

    This thread has given me a few more things to check. I'm having a similar issue with my 2011 XLT.

    3-port vs 2-port catch cans

    After owning the J & L for a while, I' metting just a teaspoon/tablespoon of oil every couple 1000 miles. Still adding Techron every month though.

    automatic transmission heating

    235!? I've never seen those temps slowly pulling a trailer uphill during a traffic jam. It's like it's not circulating trans fluid to the heat exchanger at all. What are your engine coolant temps?

    Is the transmission oil heat exchanger too weak to protect 10R80 transmission?

    I tow a 6500# camper a lot during the summer. This was the first summer with the 2023. I watch my coolant and trans temps (Using Torque Pro) and I don't think I've seen them over 200-205. If they were even close to 215-220, that thing would be getting an aux trans cooler one way or another.

    Hellwig 7696 is installed on 2024 Expedition

    I've been looking at these Helwig bars for my '23. But I'm holding off until the '25 comes out. If it's a hybrid, I'm trading and the '25 will get the new bars. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind a little more roll stiffness. Don't get me wrong, my '23 feels damn good. But better is better

    Automatic Running Boards

    That's exactly why I put mud flaps on mine. I figure it's only a matter of time.

    Has anyone had a smooth shifting 10 speed? Do they all do the occasional clunk?

    My '23 RARELY experiences a "clunk". So far I'm pretty lucky with my 10sp. But I only have 8,600 miles on it.

    PowerStop, Hawk, Akebono, EBC, Bosch, Centric and even Brembo brake pads. So many options with so little reviews and info!

    Cold bite is better on the z23s than the z36s. Not by a lot. But both are very good daily drivers. If you're going to push the brakes (sudden trailer brake failure) the the z36s should outperform the z23s. But I've only had one unbraked tailer event. So i can't compare. My z36s lasted really...

    On the less extreme are powerstop Z23s. I put them on the truck for my daughter at the next pad change because she doesn't tow. Great cold bite and modulation with smooth release characteristics. Probably the best daily driver for non-heavy duty applications.
