Good afternoon, everyone.
I’ve been playing with a Dragy device for the last few days, and I made a few runs in my Expedition this morning. It’s a 2004 2WD Eddie Bauer with the 5.4L V8 and 4R75W transmission. Only 138,600 miles because it’s a secondary vehicle that’s only used for towing.
Ancient and slow compared to the modern ones, but she seems to run every bit as strong as when it was new. MotorWeek achieved a 0-60 time of 9.7 seconds for the 2003 Expedition, which is exactly what my 19-year-old dinosaur did this morning. I’ve heard arguments that engines lose power as they wear, bit I’ve seen enough to think that’s a myth. It’s slow because it always was, not because it’s wearing out.
