    Check Engine Light (P04F0)

    2019 FPIU 3.5l Ecoboost 100k Miles While driving home the other night I got a check engine light. The code that appeared was P04F0. Anyone seen this code before? From the TSB I found it possibly a PCV valve. I cleared the code and it hasn't come back and I put another 75 miles on it since it...

    2019 FPIU 3.5l Ecoboost

    Just had my PTU replaced on this car. Took it in for 100k mile service and the Ford Dealer called back and told me that it was leaking bad and they advised I replace it. They told me they could install a "brand new" one for $2700. When I took my loan for the vehicle my CU offered an extended...

    2019 FPIU 3.5l Ecoboost

    @throgmo My experience up until now has mainly been buying used cars from family members who kept good records of what maintenance they have done to their vehicles. This one I don't have anything on. The carfax only listed two service events at Ford Dealers but not what was done. From my...

    2019 FPIU 3.5l Ecoboost

    For those going down the path of trying to get their cameras from the center 4in display to the rear view mirror I believe this thread I found digging through the forums may be of some use. I will keep updated as I attempt to get mine moved. It outlines a few things such as the mirror part...

    2019 FPIU 3.5l Ecoboost

    Hi all, I am back again with some more questions. I am in the middle of purchasing a 2019 FPIU 3.5l Ecoboost. Finally found a FPIU in reasonable enough shape externally and internally. My first step is to look into replacing the water pump on it because I could not find a record of it being...

    2017 FPIU What to look out for

    I'm not that crazy about my car interiors or exteriors. I'm a bit rough on my stuff so a ripped up seat isn't a big deal ill throw a seat cover on it or go pick n pull a replacement. As long as shes got a solid engine and drive train I don't care about the rest. If they aren't gonna jack up the...

    2017 FPIU What to look out for

    I am aware of the water pump issues on this generation of explorer. The only reason I am looking at this one is the Carfax does list the water pump was changed at a dealership. 04/21/2020 at 103,753 mi is when it says it was replaced along with a lot of other service done to fluids and flushes...

    2017 FPIU What to look out for

    How difficult of a replacement are the Catalytic Converters on these? I have some light experience doing some minor maintenance on my vehicles. Or is it something I'm gonna wanna have done by someone with more experience? Also do you have a part number for the OEM Cats?

    2017 FPIU What to look out for

    So the general consensus ive gotten from this thread is that the trans should be flushed. The PTU also needs its fluid replaced and if the problems persist the PTU its self may need to be replaced? How bad is the PTU if it has to be replaced?
