Tech Folder for Expeditions?

Hey guys. I hang out mostly in the superduty side of FTE (my ride), but today I'm going to be servicing my wife's Expedition. I was wondering if there is a "Tech Folder" for Expeditions like there is for superduty's. I've looked and can't seem to find one.

Thanks!

No, we don't obsess over our vehicles. What you see in this forum is what you get!

Alloro must disappear to an unknown foum or something, sometimes.
But back to the matter at hand, we should have some stickys to help guide some of the newbies and others with the more common issues that our trucks have, much like most of the other FTE forums, but we don't. JMNSHO.

Compared to those Superduty guys, we're a bunch of amateurs in the obsession department. Over here we're more obsessed with being correct with the topic at hand.

My superduty runs great with no major problems! I think most superduty guys are hands on when it comes to repairs and maintenance, hence there's a Tech Folder where those that have done various repairs and/or maintenance can post their experience into one place. This makes it easier for others to gain from their experience and share knowledge.

And yes, we may obsess over our trucks - but come on... their superdutys! The finest trucks on the road.

More like you have to do superduty in the maintenance department.

I don't have massive maintenance on my truck, I take care of it. Yes, there is a bit more to do but comparing the maintenance of an Expedition to a Superduty is crazy. Two different animals altogether. I guess that's why the wife drives the Expedition.

I digress, i just thought I'd ask about the tech folder because it's really handy for members. Didn't come over here to start a pissing contest over obsessing or maintenance of superdutys. Was looking for friendly advice that's never in short supply on the superduty forums.

Relax we're just playing with you a little. The SDs are great trucks and I think we should have some tech folders for the forum. It seems that the guys that have to do super duty mainenance are the guys with diesel power, I read in a number of the forums and at one time was very interested in getting a 7.3 PSD but after reading of the number of issues they have and cost of fuel as well as the truck cost I have decided to stick with a gasser that I almost understand. This forum should have tech folders to help those not familiar with certain issues our trucks have so people don't have to ask the same questions repeatedly or have to search through dozens of pages of posts trying to find an answer that has been given out often already.

Even though I am not a mod in this forum I would be willing to help with setting up a sticky thread for a tech folder for all of you. We would need to compile a list of all the threads that you would want to add to it.

I have been reading a lot of threads in here since I obtained my Expedition a couple of weeks back. A common sticky would have made life much simpler!
