    ****** gas milage

    UpDate Ok, I was using the free air pump at Hess stations I use. I checked my tire pressure and low and behold it was only 26-28 lbs. I brought it up to 42 and my MPG is now aver. 16 mpg. I can live with this for now. Some stations are now at $3 for regular in my area. It doesn't make sense...

    ****** gas milage

    No leaks no spots....runs smooth. I don't take this on any trips due to the mileage sucking. This is a true white elephant. Nice but a pig. Only good news is the weather is breaking and I use the bike for more trips.

    ****** gas milage

    A full tune up at 7000 miles. How bad could things be. Ok I average 2,500 miles a year. At 10 mpg thats 250 gallons a year. Or about $625 a year. At 12 mpg = 208 gallons a year or $520 a year. Would you spend $200 on a tune up to save $100 bucks? With only 7,000 miles on this pig the dealer...

    ****** gas milage

    Mileage sucks...why Ford? I love this truck but hate the mileage. Gas was $1.60 gal. when I bought it. It has 7K on it, can't afford to drive it and make the payments. Can't dealers or Ford do anything to make these get better mileage. The new ones are supposed to get over 20 mpg average. Think...

    Got my Cladding Replaced Today

    Wow automatically logged me in this time. I asked the Service manager that same question and he didn't know. I think I saw on this forum that the new panels hold up better. My Exp looks like new again. 03 and has only 6.9K miles. I don't use it much. I apply Mequiers tech protector on the...

    lets hear the good things about our expy

    Hey, This is a great vehicle...rides nice and gets the job done. Ok we all know that we paid an arm and a leg for these. So why couldn't Ford give us a warranty like Kia or Hundai or even now Suzuki gives? Ford thinks it makes a superior product well back it up. While we are at it...give it...

    Got my Cladding Replaced Today

    Hi, Look you may be out of warranty but the fading didn't happen in the last 1000 miles. Take digital pictures email them to the factory reps. This is a service that would cost you $3000 to have done at your expense. It iis worth going after. If you get no satisfaction go to your attorney...

    Is my 98 Expy better offroad than a 2004 Expy?

    Read my Post about Tires 2003 doesn't belong off road. I had a tire get ruined ( only 4,400 miles on it) on a nice good road. Imagine If I had gone Off-Roading. Continentals are going the Firestone route. Neither the Stealers (Tasca Ford) or Conti will fix the bad tire. Bluz :troll:

    Why do you drive an Expedition?

    I lost my will power and my mind. I like the vehicle, but hate the dealerships and Ford Motor Co., having owned 2 Windstars prior to this. The Continental Tires suck as does Conti Tire Co.. I already punctured one on road debris and they won't cover it. It only has 4,400 miles on it and no...

    Like new Tire has slice in it

    Continental Tires Suck Continental will not warranty this tire. They don't even offer road hazzard for OEM tires. This tire got this way on good roads. Don't even think about taking an Expedition Off-Road with these tires, they won't handle it. The Dealerships won't help either, all they want...
