    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...

    If I remember correctly, it's under IPC non as built section.

    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...

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

    It's easy to use FORScan to: 1. Clear all adaptative data 2. Clear transmission adaptative data But I would do a lot of research before disabling it. It's like Auto start/stop. Disabling it causes other errors.

    Just picked up 2024 Limited MAX

    Congratulations. If I'm not mistaken, the backup lights are not LED as well. They may have finally replaced them with LED. I ordered the following bulbs and they are very bright. For license plate: license plate bulbs For backup: Backup Light Bulbs

    AC stopped working when stopping at red light

    This can happen when the battery gets low. I was using FORScan and forgot my A/C and auto lights were on and killed the battery. I charged it back up and drove it, and it idled an shifted rough, one running board was stuck open, auto start/stop did not work and more. I hooked up FORScan again...

    inconvenience or safety feature?

    My 2021 brake engages when I put my vehicle in park. When I shift to D, I either have to step on the gas or push the button to release it. It was not like this when purchased, but the dealership updated the module for better shifting and it is now a safety feature. I'm now actually using it on...

    Optional gauge "transmission temperature" dissapears!

    You would have to use FORScan and an OBD2 scanner. You can set the temp numbers to show above the gauges. Not sure if it works for 2022 and newer. You can Google it or look in the FORSCAN thread here.

    Successful FORScan mods for a 2019 Expedition Platinum

    I was able to successfully mod the following items in FORScan using the drop down menu feature. NO SPREADSHEET CODES REQUIRED Bambi Mode, (my Plat already had high/low beams factory set to on in high beam mode. Now all 3 are on) Auto Start/Stop disabled <---- Update: Auto Start/Stop Disable...

    Can I use Forscan to reset transmission algorithm on 2024 Expedition?

    To add to this, you can erase the Tranny shift memory, in FORScan, bringing it back to factory settings. This really does help with rough and skip gear shifting, as well as performance. I find after performing this in FORScan, my EX shifts perfect. Then after months of driving habits, different...

    Dial Shifter - Let Me Vent!

    Seems like a lot of wasted air here, lol. However, I prefer the knob over the stick and I'm old too, drove 4 on the floor for years. I also like the button start over the key. Maybe we should start another thread about that;):D

    General Grabber tires on brand new 22 Expy

    I have Michelin Defender LTX on my Expedition. For me, nothing beats this tire for the ride and longevity. And for what it's worth, General is NOT a NO NAME tire, but rather a quality tire. Motor Trend gave them a 10, after putting them through a rigorous test.

    HP Tuners transmission tuning

    For me it's not worth spending that much money on the required programmer. And I'm fortunate my Expy shifts perfectly.

    LED Puddle Lights?

    4th GEN plats usually come with LED. My 2019 Plat has all LED lights except the backup and tag lights. I replaced those with LED. Backing up is so much nicer and the tag lights are nice and bright. Amazon lights work good as well, depending on which light you purchase. But if you go with sold...
