    General Grabber tires on brand new 22 Expy

    I actually just mounted the General Grabber HTS 60 tires (285/45R22) this week on my 18. I am a third generation customer at a 3rd generation tire shop here in town, and these were the tires he felt good about. I personally would trust any advice or input he recommends when it comes to tire...

    Moving on....

    I am having to learn to not take it personal when people I know are frustrated with their EXP. My SIL purchased a used Platinum about a year after we got ours. They have not had the best experience with it, or rather the dealers in our area have been terrible. They have an ESP and they have had...

    Miles comparison

    Well, had to return for an update just four days later. This week, a notification popped up intermittently saying "charging system service now". The Ford pass app showed a CHARGE SYSTEM FAULT alert indicating an issue with the charging system. The battery is 1 year old and I made sure it was...

    Cam Phasers ......

    My Exp had these 2 codes in December. (check out here https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/camshaft-issues-p0022-and-p052d.53423/post-503014 ) the VCT solenoids on bank 2 driver side needed replaced. AUL approved the service and I owe $100 deductible. The total on the invoice for the job is...

    2018 XLT feels like it's pulsing while driving

    It is NOT a sound, but a feel, similar to a tire out of balance or a flat spot on the tire. But only happens under slight load. Interesting note on the turbo surge, I will have to check this. I do have wastegate rattle and cam phaser knock on start up (to my knowledge, ford has never serviced...

    2018 XLT feels like it's pulsing while driving

    My current plugs and boots have 28k on them. I installed the Motorcraft SP594 from Fordparts.com as the recommended superseded OEM part. However, I would gladly spend $50-60 on a new set of plugs if it helped. I will add plugs to my to-do maintenance list this year. I saw a post...

    2018 XLT feels like it's pulsing while driving

    I do NOT believe this made a difference. I will keep watching it and see if anything occurs before end of ESP. I am realizing how trash these tires are though. I will definitely be getting a new set before vacation in May. Looking at Nitto Crossteks for 22s.

    2018 XLT feels like it's pulsing while driving

    Are you coasting or constant load on pedal and holding speed? I have felt a similar feeling in my '18 limited. I initially chalked it up to the cheap goodyear eagle tires the dealer put on it before we purchased. However, I do not feel it while coasting, but under slight load or holding speed...

    Camshaft issues - P0022 and P052D

    Well Déjà vu, 3 weeks later, I am noticing oil on the garage floor. I pulled the engine cover off and it appears the VVT solenoids are leaking oil. There is oil soaked all down the driver side of the engine, oil covering the front differential and cross member, and my skid plate looks the same...

    Camshaft issues - P0022 and P052D

    Update: I continued to see the codes and CEL on and off over the past couple of weeks before my appointment the other day. After 2 days at the dealership they finally let me know that the VCT solenoids on bank 2 driver side needed replaced. He did say they would replace gaskets and seals as...

    Camshaft issues - P0022 and P052D

    "One or more camshaft actuators—also known as camshaft phasers—act as the heart of the VVT system. When conditions are correct, the phasers alter the position of the camshafts to adjust the engine’s valve timing." Given that my codes are dealing with Camshaft position and timing, I would bet...

    Flushing brake fluid

    I have done this drain and fill on my 2015 F150 with Thorstone Pneumatic brake fluid bleeder kit from amazon. I thought it worked well. When we purchased our 2018 expedition last year, I had the dealer perform this before we picked it up so I cannot vouch for procedure on the expedition. I...

    Camshaft issues - P0022 and P052D

    CEL did come back on for a few days. I noticed a rough idle only 1 time in the last week. Same code P0021. CEL then went off yesterday so I checked DTCs on forscan and it stored the P0021: noted that malfunction indicator lamp is OFF for this DTC. There was also the code P0018 - crankshaft...

    Rear hatch stuck

    I just started using the Forscan program so the module update seems intimidating right now. I have the Pinpoint test and diagnostic procedures for the RGTM DTCs from the service manual that I will attempt first before I go down that road. I have a service appointment 1/16 for a CEL for code...
