    Cuts out underload

    My '06 had what seems to be a similar problem, it would lose power and go sluggish under heavy demand. it was intermittent, but downright scary when it would happen on the highway at 70 MPH. It ended up being the throttle body. It was not a totally unheard of problem with the second...

    Husky vs Weathertech Floor liners

    Looks great! Not to derail the topic, but how easy was it to take out that middle seat?

    New (to me) 2010 Expy. New to Ford. Newb questions...

    I have noticed a big difference in downshifting with my 2013 (which I bought last year) as compared to my 2006, which was surprisingly quick for such a big rig. I just attributed it to the 6 speed vs 4 speed transmission.

    Finally Back in an Expedition

    Looks exactly like my 2013 Limited, color and all. You will love it!

    Dealership Maintenance???

    Yep, exactly. I don't think that should come as a surprise though. If it ain't broke, the dealer (and any dealer of any make, not just Ford) won't fix it. That type of stuff can be negotiated into your purchase, though.

    Snapping sound in 4WD

    sounds like CV's to me. That's usually the leading culprit when you hear front popping noise. Probably time to get it into a reputable mechanic in your area to check it out.

    Swap 2013 Expy Limitied for 2011 Navigator?

    Thanks for everyone's replies (even to the dude who kept telling it's my decision ... kidding). Yeah, I'm going to keep the Expy. I don't think trading in for a 2-year older vehicle for 15k fewer miles is worth the hassle, especially when I know the Expedition inside and out (although I don't...

    Swap 2013 Expy Limitied for 2011 Navigator?

    Thanks for your replies so far. Another way to phrase this: for the same price, would you rather have a newer 2013 Expedition Limited or a slighter older 2011 Navigator, but with 15k fewer miles?

    Swap 2013 Expy Limitied for 2011 Navigator?

    Hello all, I bought a 2013 Limited a little under a year ago. I have 52,400 miles on it now and have not had a single problem. It's my second Expy, the first one was a 2006 copper EB that I bought new and finally traded in for my current one after 170,000 glorious miles (man I loved that...

    loud noise on startup intermittently?

    My '06 EB (165k miles) has done it for years, and does it more often than it used to. The 3 or 4 independent shops I've taken it to throughout the years to have them check it out (when I had it in the shop for something else) had no clue what it was. The last time I had the guy tell me that he...

    Who has the most miles on the odometer of their expedition?

    ^^^ Were there any warning signs that you noticed? I ask because I've been getting a sustained "rattling" or "fluttering" type sound when I start mine up almost every single time now (lasts for about 2-3 seconds and then idles back to normal). When I took it in to get it looked at (by an...

    Who has the most miles on the odometer of their expedition?

    Thought I had a lot on my 06 at 165K, but apparently not.

    tune ups?

    If you haven't done so already, get ready for the odyssey that is the spark plug replacement.

    Question for you all

    Several responses back, I stated that I was experiencing the same problem that you were having. Last week, I found out too that it was my rear differential clutches. The dealership diagnosed it, and I took it to my normal mechanic to do the work. With taxes, the bill turned out being $1,506...

    Question for you all

    I talked with a mechanic whom I've dealt with before and he said that he one time worked on an Expedition that actually had dry rot on the vacuum lines which led to the grinding/clunking that I'm experiencing. he thinks that's probably it and not necessarily (just) the solenoid. Does that...
