    Ford and Carfax scam

    Carfax isn't some independent governing service. They are primarliy paid by the dealer body. They will take $ where ever it comes from and will tailor the service offering for those who pay their bills.

    Ford and Carfax scam

    I agree with this process. This isn't a Ford thing, all the dealers do this and I am not sure if all repairs get reported to carfax anyway. Insurance companies don't necessary report to carfax either, nor the autobody shops. I had $23k in damage to my Cadillac years back, and nothing was...

    New Tires

    I picked up the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's. I was looking for something quiet, a smidge performance oriented and looks. I felt the Pirellis hit those categories the best for me. Looked at the Michelin's but didn't like what they offered in the 285x45x22. Almost choose the Cross Climates...

    Michelin Agilis Cross Climate Tires

    TR does list the Cross Climate 2 for size 285x45x22. Still curious if anyone on the site has installed them. Thanks.

    Battery Issue?

    Just had mine replaced after 30months. It had been registering 12.3v, but of course I charged it a week ago and it read 12.6v when I brought it to the Ford dealership to have it diagnosed. My truck is an '18 and the original battery was replaced 30m ago. I have been told that batteries today...

    2018 Hands Free Liftgate not working

    I know this may sound silly, but do you have your key fob in your pocket when you try to kick under the tailgate on the driver's side 2x? I chased the tailgate not working when activated with my foot for many, many months. Dealer chased it too, but it worked for them....until they asked the...

    22 HEADLINER RATTLE

    Not sure if this will be helpful, but I had issues with the sunroof on my '18. They lubed up the rubber seals, changed some piece in the frame rail, but still was chasing down the rattle. The real issue was the accordion sunshade thing on the right hand side. It appeared connected/operating...

    Memory Seat and Steering wheel not returning to position

    I have a 2018 304a pkg and noticed this recently. Like 2+ months ago, where 1/4 times it does return to the last position upon start and remains in entry/exit position. When this occurs, I hit the preset button to where they both move to the preset position. Kind of strange a few of us are...

    Cam Phaser Questions

    Yes, it was determined that the heads were a different design. I do not have the shuttering issue anymore. The turbo rattle is a still there at cold start, but less noticeable when hot. My old turbos rattled all the time, not just under cold start. I think the spring mod that I say on the...

    Cam Phaser Questions

    I was told that the cam phaser isn't getting oil pressure properly. Now this could be from a front cam journal that was not factory machined to the proper tolerance, or because the cam cap isn't keeping things together properly leading to the worn journal/cam phaser oil issue. So yes I...

    Cam Phaser Questions

    Gee guys, I hope I wasn't being overly assumptive in my post. To start, and I don't believe this makes any difference, but my brother-in-law owns the Ford dealership, but I have been working directly with their Service Mgr. I had brought the truck back in after I had the new programming...

    Cam Phaser Questions

    IMO, I wouldn't get the update. I did. It doesn't appear to be reversable or Ford has decided not to reverse the programing like they did in the past. Mine 2018 with 45k, shutter (after program), is going in for new heads in a couple weeks. There has been a design change, but I don't know...

    2022 Expedition - Schedule for production ?

    I have an '18 with RES. It has some troubles early on and ended getting both screens replaced. Definitely dated, and not a great interface, BUT my kids love it too! They plug in the Firestick and watch YouTube, Netflix, Disney, whatever....There is something different when they are watching a...

    What color Weathertech floor mats

    I prefer the stock Ford mats..more rubber like..not slippery. I have had many WeatherTechs, and much happier with Fords all around. Just my 2cents.

    Gift card from Ford?

    I received one yesterday. My 2018 has about $15k in warranty repairs. Actually, $15k may be on the low end.

    Downsize 2019 platinum rims to 18” or 20”

    I don't think I have seen these on a deal like I received back last fall, but they work just fine as replacements for my 22". I live just outside of Boston and matched them with snowflake tires. I would say the width of these rims (18x8.5") and tires didn't give me incredible snow traction...

    2018 Expedition platinum Max A/C problem

    I don't have time to post right now about my history with AC,but I have a story. Lot's of $ spent by Ford to figure out. Ended up being a rear condenser. 2018 304A Ripped the dash apart 1st, as they had supplier issues with front condenser.

    Rear Sway bar?

    Agreed, just thought I would throw it out there. Thanks for your kind reply. I knew it was a pie-in-the-sky question.

    Rear Sway bar?

    I am sure this has been mentioned before and just wondering if there is a tuner (if possible) working on this, ..as to me extra roll stiffness would be nice, but it is the rebound damping that is the issue for me. Any thoughts here? I drive mostly on pavement. My 2005 Tahoe with bilsteins...

    Expedition is going under the knife for VCT solenoid.

    I have exactly the same diagnosis and concerns you noted above. I have 33k the truck and the cam phasers and VCT solenoids have been replaced. The rattle remains cold or hot, but louder in the first 2m during startup. I also had both rear taillights replaced, due to moisture buildup. The new...

    Android auto problem

    My top port randomly stops working, more times than less. I often hear a loud click ( like the sound of a circuit breaker) around the HVAC area. The click has been going on for a couple years, most often when I have the HVAC heat on (during colder weather). I don't know if the USB port is...

    Stainless Brake lines

    My question is more related to how all the accident avoidance features maybe impacting the pedal feel, or if most of the mushy feel is from a lame mechanical braking system (ie., lines, master cylinder, etc.). I have upgraded to stainless lines on many vehicles, but they were older and didn't...
