What did you do to the expy today

[1oldtimer]

Installed a Kenwood DNX994s to my 13 Expy Last week. I used the idatalink module and their wire harness. I opted to turn off Sync and use the Phone and Voice buttons on the steering wheel to access my iPhone directly.
I did have to add an RCA plug to the rear camera wire but other than that I had no issues hooking it up. Everything works great.
I kept the stock amp and sub with amp. I do plan on upgrading the speakers at a later date. But for now, I'm happy.

Changed the oil and checked air pressures. Slightly annoyed motorcraft changed the FL-820S so the wrench I bought for it a while back has to be replaced.

Getting rear diff rebuilt, rear axle bearings and seals.

Repairs on this truck cost more than a high class ******.

How many miles?

Recently replaced all shocks with KYB Strut-Plus assemblies, Michelin Defender LT tires. Feels like it has a stout stance and NO bounce over ****** railroad tracks.

JExpedition07, do you know what year the chain tensioner gaskets were updated? I just bought a 2010 that had the complete timing system changed out by the previous owner at a dealership in 2019. Wondering if the new tensioners were the updated ones? Unfortunately, the oil pump was not replaced with a mellner HV. I read that Ford updated their oil pump, but I don't know when., And if they did, what happened to my 2010? thanks, scott

In May, I accidentally snapped the rear wiper and decided to pull off the arm and replace it with the other style arm. Since I typically only use that wiper in the snow, I shoved the arm in a garage cabinet and kind of forgot about it. With snow coming soon though, I finally picked up a Bosch Icon 17A and replaced the arm. Next up: 3-camera dash cam install.

I vacuumed out all of the pine needles from the Christmas tree. Nice having an EL, just shoved the whole tree in the truck. No tying it up or putting it on the roof.

I retired the ole gal. She’s relaxing in my garage. Been relieved of duty by 2021 Nissan Rogue AWD.

The Nissan will assume all road responsibilities of 500-1000 miles week.

Long live the ole gal.

 

[Shakillohtrill]

Bought led license plate lights. Swapping out all halogen lights for leds. Started with the headlights. Came across a messed up housing on the second row drivers side. Waiting on the part now to complete the cabin. Side mirrors after that. White is wayyy better than yellow smh

The 21s are nice. My mom has one and I've driven it a few times. I have even less faith in Nissan's reliability than Ford's, but I do like it. Perhaps when she goes to trade it in 2-3 years (as she always does) I'll buy it from her.

Drove down in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Helped move my cousin out of Fordham University dorms. I found driving in NYC you just have to be aggressive and not let anyone know your move and it was pretty easy. If you sit there and react slow though you will never get anywhere lol. It also helped with corona traffic wasn’t bad. This was my first time to NYC, I stopped at Peter Luger and picked up some beef...was totally worth the bridge wait. Amazing. The guys who worked at Fordham seemed to be amazed about full size SUV ownership and thought it was pretty cool we can own these in the Suburbs. When I pulled up they had lots of questions about the truck lol. I saw two other EL’s in Manhattan.

I drive an EL in the city. It's very easy car to drive.

Some lady side-swiped my rear bumper last time I was in NYC (couple months ago). Then she just drove off with her fake plates. I knew they were going to be fake once I saw the Paterson, NJ used car dealership license plate frame in my photo.

I used traffic cones there. Parking is always insane when I drive into west Manhattan to visit friends. There is an app spot hero that gets you into parking garages very cheap. I got a spot all weekend for like $85 in October by Fordhams Manhattan campus. Was a nice ramp not run down and your vehicle is locked up at night.

 

[ManUpOrShutUp]

I just asked road crew guys for some NYC traffic cones when they were working 100 feet away and used those to keep people away from me. They park so tight in west Manhattan. Bonus was being able to save the spot driving back and forth moving my friend to a new apartment.

We were in dead stop rush hour traffic. She was behind me and decided she was going to drive into opposing traffic. She backed up a little and then cut left, but completely misjudged the front of her car and nailed my bumper. I got out and she got out for a second also. Traffic started to move a smidge, so she jumped back in her car and took off.

 

[JExpedition07]

Got it inspected. Lots going wrong with it. Both my front windows don’t work, big banging sounds from rear end still, electrical problems and speedo intermittently going out. Radio does in and out. Plastic molding falling off the wheel wells as they rust away and paint chipping everywhere. Well over 200,000 miles now. What I can say is the 5.4 Triton and 6 speed transmission could care less and keep on trucking. Doesn’t burn any oil or leak fluids…But the truck around the drivetrain is falling into shambles. After looking around I think I’m going to stick around. Pickups are out of control on pricing. The Burbs seem to be pretty finicky in the 15-18 range on the transmission. I’m mainly planning to shop 2016-2019 Expeditions at this point. The 15-17 ones are hard to pass up because they are such a deal but I think I want the new body. Ah we will see what happens. At this point I’m seeing what sends the 07 to the junk yard first…rust or brakes maybe lol.

Transmission blew up this morning after that post LMAO. Lost everything except for 1 and 2. So there is our answer on what is sending her to the bone yard.
