    new tail light

    I did that on my 2002 F250 (and a few other non-Fords)... actually, the 2002 F250 had aftermarket 2007(?) style reflectors, the LEDs worked really well with these and had a very crisp lowbeam cutoff with a even wide light pattern, and high beams that were like daylight over the whole road.

    Disable side airbags

    I suspect you would need to unplug these side airbags to disable them. most cars, all airbags go off at once looks like on my 2019 wiring diagrams, *everything* airbag related plugs into the RCM, Restraints Control Module, which appears to be under the armrest part of the center console, and...

    so, I wonder if this can be fixed without going to extremes.

    B&O 12 speaker stereo has boomy bass

    I've noticed when I turn up the volume to like 8-12 on trackhs that have a strong acoustic bass, the bass sounds boomy. Listen to some tracks from Crooked Still's _Shaken by a Low Sound_ ... https://open.spotify.com/album/1MXfI5PVHDjkZJrlM9aFkp?si=E5RmyhTPTeS7Z70KTODHTA ... there's a big gap...

    new tail light

    on my 9900 mile Mexican caravan, about mid way, I jacknifed backing up and busted a taillight on my 2019 Expedition Limited Stealth... We found a roll of red taillight repair tape in a local auto store, and I taped up the light til I got home... I ordered a replacement Ford tail light, it got...

    TCU location

    I know this is an old thread, but for anyone looking in the future, per my 2019 wiring diagrams the TCU is under the center of the dashboard, above the transmission hump, presumably forward of the cellular charging pocket.

    Hah!

    well, as I said, going forward I will be doing 5000 mile oil changes. this was a one shot deal. before I left on the trip, I had a local indie shop do an oil change with Mobil 1 full synth, and when I reentered the US I got it changed at a Ford dealer (Sandersen Ford in Phoenix,AZ), who I...

    Hah!

    well, oil changed when I got back into the USA last week. At about 8000 miles it was clear light brown, and still felt like the proper viscosity. Who's Harvey ?

    How to Disable Modem on 2023 Expedition

    on my 2019 Expedition wiring diagram, it appears the cellular data modem is embedded in the Telematics Control Unit (TCU), and unplugging that would break a LOT of stuff.

    Load Range E tire pressure

    What opticon said. Optimum pressure is a function of tire size and actual load. Even if a load range E tire might be rated for up to 70 PSI or whatever, that's for an actual E load which an expedition is not designed for. 275/65R18 on an gen 4 Expedition at GAWR is 35 PSI, regardless of the tire.

    Hah!

    Normally plan on 5000 mile changes but after 8000 miles the oil still looks and feels good. Going to avoid North Bay Ford, will probably go to Sunnyvale when I'm home, or for oil changes an Indy shop like Earnie's in Felton.

    New rims and tire question

    I'd go 18 or even 17 for AT tires. Stock 18" size is 275/65R18, and I think there's a /70 size too. My 2019 "Stealth" with 18s... These are F150 take-offs that still have the crappy stock Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT OEM tires from said F-150, I'll be putting BFG KO2 on here as soon as I...

    Coolant consumption

    Ford shop here in Mexico confirmed it's a heater hose but can't get the part for a week and I'm heading north tomorrow.... They are going to block off the heater which should stop the leak, hopefully the dealer in Phoenix can get the part on Tuesday when I am there....
