This post had me laughing early this morning!! I too am an "Old Guy" and I agree with every word mentioned. Can't wait to read your next submission!! :rotflmao:
I have 225k miles on my 2007 Expedition EL. Purchased used with 172k. I changed the fluid upon purchased and again at 40k afterward. Fluid change included filter. I tow often and like the idea of having the protection of fresh fluid. I recall, the interval change followed is recommended by...
Since I check my tire pressure weekly, I disabled the TPMS system after a failed module. Frequent tire pressure checks is how my dad did it, back in the day.
Had a similar problem. Uses zip ties to make sure all wire harnesses were not resting on anything metal. Haven't had a problem with multiple lights on the dashboard as of yet. My vehicle is a 2007 Expy but this seems to be a simple solution for all generations.
My transmission and differential fluids are changed every 25,000 miles. I know this is over kill but I like knowing I have fresh fluid lubricating moving parts.
I did a timing job on my 2007 Expy in 2019. Now I have to have the rockers and lash adjusters to change as the tapping sound has started. Should have done everything back then. Oh well. Ride has been very reliable thus far and I am still ahead of the game. Have you seen the price for a...
I find the best replacement Hub Wheel Bearings to purchase are TIMKEN hubs. I replaced my right rear hub at 100k and at 218k, it is still rolling strong. I read somewhere that TIMKENs are used as OEM parts for my 2007 Ford Expedition. Moog parts are made in China and I hear sooooo many...
My 2007 Ford Expedition EL is my trusted steed. Wife and I have taken multiple road trips and the Expy has never left us stranded. In the past, I was in the market for a new SUV but the reliability issues and prices deterred me from moving forward. At this point, I said to myself, "If the...
I just think the entire vehicle market is out of control. SUV's are upwards near $100K!!! This is Porsche territory. I feel for the money Ford is asking, these vehicles should not have historical and current problems such as coolant leaks, turbo wastegate noises, gaps in the instrument...
Whatever 3rd generation you purchase, make sure oil changes were performed in a timely manner. For the ones with the 5.4 Triton, be prepared to perform a timing job. This is one of the most common repairs to be performed.
Just had to jump in here and mention these 3rd Gens are pretty reliable if one is VERY particular when it comes to maintenance. Fluid changes are critical. Overall, I feel Ford did a great job on the 07 model year than most others. Only 2 historical recalls on record. Can't say the same...
Currently have a 2007 Expedition with 216k miles that was purchased with 172k. As someone said on this thread, one of the main keys to keeping this engine running is frequent fluid changes. My engine oil is changed every 4k miles and my tranny fluid is changed every 25 to 30k. If the seller...
Your 07 gets between 22 to 24 mpg on the HWY?!?! Great numbers. My 07 has reached 19.5 mpg max on the HWY. Changed fuel filter, plugs, air filter and cleaned mass air sensor to increase numbers but no good. Next move is to have my fuel system cleaned along with injectors. Hopefully I will...
I would have to agree about replacing the motor. More than likely, there are metal shavings throughout the engine. I would suspect the chain was making contact with the timing cover for some time and just wearing it away. Since this is an interference engine, valves are probably bent. A...
