    2.3 Ecoboost 0 Compression

    Sounds like a cam chain issue. Pull the valve cover and see if the valves are moving while it turns over. Cant recall if these are interference engines, if so and piston hit the valves, Not a pretty situation

    Thanks Guys. Front and rear dash cams really paid off. No questions from Sheriff’s Office or his insurance.

    FORScan Help for 2016 XLT Sync 3 Upgrade

    If you went from sync2 to sync3. You have to add code using forscan. I paid 60.00 for the code from a guy on the internet. There are more blocks on the sync3 and have to be added. He needed my vin number and gives instructions to add.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Coming back from visiting family, my dash suddenly popped up, problem with charging system. I was on toll road, with the whole family in the car. Hoping i would make it home, i stayed a steady 85 mph. Gradually, things started shutting down, first stereo, then gauges, and finally the engine...

    Fumoto Valve

    Peter, aren’t those for the plastic oil pans. Coworker got one for his 17 f150, because fumoto does not make one for those oil pans.

    Best place to buy tuner?

    Also, do not install 3bar map until you install the tune first. Not knowing this, my electronics went crazy, throwing codes, traction control flashing, etc. make sure tune is designed for it.

    Best place to buy tuner?

    I have a 17 platinum also. I chose SCT Tuner. Please note, transmissions can only withstand so much torque. I would change fluids on tranny and PTU at 30,000 miles.

    Sync V3.0 to V3.4 Upgrade

    This is the hub i have. I upgraded my 15 sync2 to sync3 and found this hub was used on some newer trucks with sync3. I had read, that you had to update to 3.4 to take advantage of higher amperage for QC chargers. I could not tell you how much power it puts out, frankly didn’t ever find out how...

    Sync V3.0 to V3.4 Upgrade

    Note, some of the later builds support higher wattage usb type-c ports. I removed the usb hub and installed the usb type-c hub. This hub has 1 usb, 1 usb type-c. Doing this will make the usb port inside the console armrest inoperable. Since i have the optional gun safe in their, i dont use that...

    WeatherTech floormats

    I took a different route, after seeing the weathertech mats in my wifes SRX, they looked ugly to me, fit was terrible and all sides were turning in. I purchased Smartliner Brand. Sold my 15 XLT and put them in my 17 Platinum.

    2016 Steering issues - recall related?

    Definitely could be due to recall on rear toelink rod. There is also a video to check. Jack up rear, put on stands, then put jack under the rear control arm and jack it up some, but not enough to lift off stands. Now grab tire at 3:00 and 9:00 and see id there is any lateral movement, back and...
