Since i soldered in a new fuel relay, we the expy has struggled to start when cold. Once started it is fine. Saturday after the gym i had declining to the dash, then no power. Since it was dark I left it there to work on today. Figured out the battery cable was loose, all power is back. Now have get it to start in the cold.

I did a baseline measurement of the battery voltage on my 2014 & 2003 5.4L
(measured at battery posts)
both batteries are about 1.5 years old - top quality - 850CCA (OEM old style, flooded)
both Expo's have been driven under various conditions over past month

I like to do this periodically, to check the health of the system … see how it changes over time … and have an idea what to expect as normal if "things go wrong".

resting (no headlights) 2003=12.4 2014=12.2
resting (headlights) 2003=11.9 2014=11.7
starting (no headlights) 2003=10.3 2014=10.1
running (no headlights) 2003=14.3 2014=14.6
running (headlights) 2003=14.2 2014=14.6

Had Goodyear install Falken Wildpeak A/T3Ws
(with new valve stems, $151) on my 2014EL
Bought from TireBuyer, free delivery to my house … $50 rebate, paid $922.17
ordered Wednesday, arrived & installed today
LT275/65R18 …. set to 45 psi (light truck tires)

The Goodyear guys let me know my rear brakes need work.
98K miles on the OEM brakes.
Apparently inside & outside pads not wearing the same rate …. baaaaaad!
Will have to restore those to new condition before the big ride.

the new rubber has steep & deep tread (20/32")
and a heavy dose of SIPING action
