    FORScan programming options

    True but most people are too lazy to search. So, we just repeat and repeat ;)

    2020 Limited Almost No Acceleration when Cold

    When you are accelerating, is the rpm going up drastically or just no power like a dragging E-brake? I ask because it's one thing if the tranny is slipping and another if it is not? Very well may be sensor tied to temperature, as when it warms up the symptom is gone. I found this list: COMMON...

    Ford quietly redesigned the thermostat in 2022...replace it

    They do on some models. Mine has one and I searched the part number to be Trans Cooler - Ford (JL1Z-7869-A) 2018-2023 Ford - jl1z7869a

    Ford quietly redesigned the thermostat in 2022...replace it

    I just read from Ford Motor Company that lowering the thermostat below the vehicle's specs, as well as using a non-Ford part can cause the following issues. The lower the thermostat temp, the more wear it puts on the engine, as well as more gas consumption. If a non-OEM Ford part is used, it may...

    Wireless AA adapter options

    After many issues with various adapters, I went with the Motorola MA1 and it works flawlessly. You can use an extension to lengthen the USB cable. Mine sits in the phone charging bay and I still have room for my phone. I bought my Son a Carlinkit 3.0 kit. He has an iPhone and it works flawlessly...

    70mph + vibration

    Another common culprit, especially with newer Expeditions is someone may have used flat tire sealant in the tires. The goop tends to rest in one spot, causing an out of balance similar to a chunk of mud that dried after off road travel. Since you are dealing with used tires, you may have a tire...

    My mostly unbiased comparison - Expy vs. a week in a Grand Wagoneer

    When you put your Platinum in Sport mode, it will equal the ride feeling of the Grand Wagoneer. My wife complains about the floating feel of my Platinum, so now I just put it in sport mode and it has tighter suspension, steering is more sporty, tons more power, which I could care less about and...

    General Grabber tires on brand new 22 Expy

    I'm a Michelin guy because of the ride and longevity. The best tire I found for my Platinum is the Michelin Defender LTX/MS. The ride is really smooth for a 22" tire and the mileage range at 70,000 miles is great. I've tried many other brands on my Excursions, Expeditions and Explorers and the...

    I did two things to seriously mitigate the delayed shift from gear 4 to 3

    My EX feels really snappy when I put it in sport mode. I like the way my steering and suspension changes as well. I'll have to look into the custom tuning.

    FordPass app "service history" is flawed

    I just had a full synthetic oil change performed at my dealership. They reported the same thing to my account. I just added a service schedule with a copy of my oil change invoice, to prove it was done, in case of a problem.

    Vibration while braking

    I had this similar issue on my Ford Excursion. It turned out to be a bad caliper that warped a rotor. The caliper was not retracting all the way, causing it to drag the pads on the rotor creating enormous heat. When I applied the brakes, I got the vibration you describe.

    I did two things to seriously mitigate the delayed shift from gear 4 to 3

    You would have to contact the shop to see if they perform that sort of I wondered if it worked, as I asked the FORScan people and they said Configuration and programming functions (only in FORScan for Windows, require Extended License) Here is a comparison chart of what can and can't be done...
