22” to 20” wheels - better for towing?
th I think the most important thing when it comes to tires and towing is the load index. The higher load index tires typically have a higher weight carrying capacity and higher tire pressure threshold. My 2012 Expy came with 275/55r20 tires with a 111 load index. I upgraded to a Nitto...- wk99

Drivers Side Turbo Failing?
I've learned over time that it is sometime best to the job yourself if you have the time. I did my first timing job on my 2012 Expedition by watching youtube videos. Youtube has been a wealth of information that most auto shops won't share because it cuts into their profits. The dealership...- wk99

2010 Expedition XLT EL. Engine Rough on Idle, Stop Light. Power Loss
Throw some fuel injector cleaner in your tank. I was getting misfire codes and it cleared it up. You have more miles on yours than mine. I have 178k but it does my heart good to know that I can run it much longer. The jerking/hesitation could be the torque converter or transmission though...- wk99

2011 Expedition 5.4l 3v P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire
Late post but I was getting a misfire code during startup and cured it with some fuel injector cleaner. Mind you I had already replaced the spark plugs and coil packs. Would've been a lot cheaper to just run the fuel injector/fuel system cleaner. We live and learn. Recommended to run the...- wk99

Automatic Running Boards
Purchased my 2012 EL Limited brand new and has 178k miles on it. I haven't had any issues with the automatic running boards. I spray it down with WD-40 every so often to keep the joints from ceasing up. I occasionally see people riding around with one or both fully extended and think, dang if...- wk99

Replace Cam Phasers or not on a 2010 5.4 3V Triton?
Just to update everyone here. I just completed the job a couple of days ago and it fired right up after priming the new Melling M360HV oil pump. I did the following: 1) Replaced all 24 roller followers with the updated version that has a very small hole in them for oiling the valve train...- wk99

2012 Expedition LMTD cool/heated seats not working
I would look at the heated/cool seat control module mounted underneath the passenger seat. I think there is one for both seats. I was having the same issues some years back and when I pulled the module, I noticed that the ground wire had melted on the wire harness that connects to the module...- wk99

No power to air suspension compressor
Sounds like you need to check your rear sensors. One of my sensors got damaged on my 2012 Expedition and had to be replaced. I received a warning message on instrument cluster. Can't quite remember what it said since it was over 4 years ago but I know that the compressor would not engage with...- wk99

Engine ticking, poor MPG
I'm currently working on my 2012 Expe timing job and I wouldn't advise prying the roller followers out with a screwdriver. I purchased the special tool (spring compressor) from Amazon and it's worth it. You don't want to risk damaging valve spring retainers or scoring the camshaft. I order...- wk99

Just ordered my 5 Star Tune - Any advice?
Great thread here all. I was looking into ordering a 5 star tune myself. Already use the can tunes that come with SCT Livewire TS+. I'm only ordering 91 and 94 performance/tow tune and maybe 94 economy. Here in Colorado 91 is the highest but E85 is readily available so I'll probably run E85...- wk99
