    Odd vibration/rattle from engine (?) on incline in higher gear

    The description you just gave is almost 100% dead on to what I was experiencing. If I had to guess for my situation, the hose doesn't warm up as like the engine does so with it being a little colder and more rigid the leak isn't too bad. But, after sitting in the engine bay for an hour or so...

    Winch mount

    Old thread but have there been any developments on that winch mount fitment? As for the brush guard I can answer it for you if you haven’t found the answer already. An F-150 brush guard will fit but only if youre ok with cutting you bumper a little. There are 2 mounting points on the bottom...

    Odd vibration/rattle from engine (?) on incline in higher gear

    yep, when you lose the vacuum it engages the front drive components. But since you’re not totally losing the vacuum the teeth on the outer end of the CV axle are just chewing up your IWE. The cause could be any part in the chain that sees the vacuum so it’s a matter of finding it. For me, the...

    Odd vibration/rattle from engine (?) on incline in higher gear

    Sounds like the IWE system (if you have 4x4) to me. My noises would usually kick off on an incline at highway speeds. It had a slight rumble on the gas pedal and sounded like someone was driving next to me in a pickup with a loose tarp over the bed. As soon as you let up off the gas it went away...

    More in depth high mileage maintenance

    Hi all, I’ve searched around to find more thorough information on high mileage maintenance beyond switching to 5w-30 and increased oil change frequency but I can’t seem to find much in one place so maybe this thread will help others out in the future as well. I’m currently rolling with ~160k...

    I know which ones you're talking about and its fair chance this is it. If not, measure what you broke and they'll probably have it. https://autofastenersandclips.com/products/auveco-14994-push-type-retainer-1-head-diameter-29-32-length just checked it with the OEM part number cross reference...

    2014. OEM tranny cooler as big as radiator...?

    I believe that one is for your A/C. The one for your tranny is like ~4-5 inches tall if memory serves correctly.

    2017 Expy front wheels off the ground not easy to turn?

    Do you have 4x4? idk about how 4x4 works on later years but the IWE on my 2011 engages when vacuum is released which also happens when the engine isn’t running. So if that was my rig in the air I’d be fighting the front drive components to turn the wheels as well. So possibly this could be...

    Front shaft turning in 2wd

    This thread is a little old for what is likely a quick repair but doesn't have an update on the fix so I'll throw my two cents in. You try ruling out the vacuum hose? my IWE worked fine when I put the pump directly on the ports and the check valve was good too but it would try to engage...

    2017 Off-Road build - Phase 1 - The Basics

    Well with the skid plates, I'm not as worried about the breakover angle anymore, I can always back up once I hear contact to not scrape up things beyond them. plus I just left the stock side steps on and will replace them when they get crushed up but I don't get too crazy off roading. figured...

    What size tires should I get?

    So my 2011 limited EL had the factory 20inch rim option when I bought it. The tires were 275/55 R20 and everything was fine. Since then I did the 2.5” RC leveling kit. Now I have 275/65 R20s and still no interference BUT I have ~1/4” clearance from the upper control arm due to the new geometry...

    2017 expedition el liftgate weather seal

    I’ve replaced the weather seal on the lift gate and the glass lift gate with weather strips I just yanked off an expedition someone was parting out on marketplace. Cost me 10 bucks and it’s good to go, plus you know it fits since it came off the same/similar model. Tbh I don’t know what that...

    2017 Off-Road build - Phase 1 - The Basics

    Just want to touch on that RCI skid plate package comment and fill you in on my experience with it. I managed to stumble across the full 10 gauge steel skid plate package for 09-14 F-150s on marketplace for $125 which was an absolute score but I had a few issues with it. 1) the transfer case...

    What’s your 3rd gen MPG after mods?

    Hey all, I’ve been slowly making additions to a 2011 limited EL since August which I bought as an adventure vehicle that I can easily sleep in. I’ve since put on a grill guard, 34inch tires and the steel RCI skid plate package, obviously after each one the MPG has slowly dropped since I’m moving...
