    How to align steering wheel?

    It hasn't been aligned since I've owned it. It's still on the OE Hankooks w/ around 53k on them (I've owned it since 28k). We're going on a 3,000+ miles road trip in a few weeks, so debating if I want to replace the tires before or wait a few months. Regardless, I don't want to pay for a full...

    How to align steering wheel?

    Good to know. Just to clarify, we're just talking about the alignment of the steering wheel, not adjusting the alignment of the actual wheels, right?

    How to align steering wheel?

    The steering wheel on my 2018 is off by a couple degrees while driving straight. There are no noticeable issues with the vehicle pulling to either side, just that the wheel isn't perfectly straight while driving straight. I have a Jeep and am familiar with adjusting the drag link to correct the...

    Tire recommendations for 22" w/ CCD?

    I have about 53k miles on our 2018 Platinum OE Hankook tires and will be looking to replace them soon-ish. I haven't been impressed with their performance, particularly in wet or slick conditions. In the past I've been pleased with Michelins (on other vehicles), so I'm primarily leaning towards...

    Preparing for doing first oil change myself

    Finished the oil change today. Made a pretty big mess on my garage floor, but went alright otherwise. I got the Valvomax plug installed, so should go much smoother in the future. Thanks for all the advice!

    Preparing for doing first oil change myself

    I have Futmoto valves in our other two vehicles and agree they great to have. I ordered a Valvomax for the Expy to try something different (and because they currently have a code for 20% off).

    Preparing for doing first oil change myself

    I got under the Expy to confirm that I have a metal oil pan before buying a Valvomax drain plug. Could someone please confirm that this is indeed the oil drain plug? Just want to he certain before I buy anything.

    Would love some folks thoughts on this, regarding oil changes on this engine.

    FYI, I snagged this Mobil 1 Advanced from Costco and it appears to meet the B1 spec.

    Preparing for doing first oil change myself

    Good to know. I just mainly went with this because it's available at my Costco and was $10 off for 6 qts.

    Preparing for doing first oil change myself

    Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken, but it looks like this meets the B1 spec, no?

    Preparing for doing first oil change myself

    I'm planning on changing the oil in the Expy myself for the first time (done it on other vehicles plenty of times before). I'm planning on grabbing some Mobil 1 Advanced and a Motorcraft filter, as well as a Fumoto valve (or similar). I'm just curious if this vehicle has any quarks I should know...

    Just curious- why no interior release on fuel filler door?

    Where is this funnel? I bought my 2018 used and haven't noticed one.

    Moab Advice

    Check out Onion Creek. We drove that two summers ago in our 18 Platinum with the 22" wheels without issues. Gorgeous scenery and you cross the creek (which is only like 2-3" deep) like 20 - 30 times (fun to count them as you go with the kids).

    Swollen Lug Nuts - Recommended Replacement?

    My 2018 Plati is at the dealership for some service and warranty work, the called me stating that the lug nuts are swollen and that I'd likely have trouble or be unable to remove them roadside in the event of a flat. I only have about 46,000 miles on it and I really don't think there's been any...

    Any families gone from Supercrew pick up to Expedition?

    Overall I think the Expedition will be a great fit for your needs. We love ours (2018 Plati w/ HD Tow). I also have a fairly highly modified Rubicon. I haven't tried towing it yet, but have done a little research. Although the Expedition should he able to tow the weight no problem, it looks like...
