    Front-end squeeks

    How do your swaybar bushings look? I had a bad squeak in my frontend and it ended up being the bushings. Replaced them and noise gone. Worth a shot and a lot less $$$$ than ball joints.

    Expedition and Smartcar

    Looks like a Matchbox car next to a Tonka truck.....LMAO!!! Um, yeah, I'll deal with getting 12mpg around town. You won't catch me in that tin can car.

    gas mileage

    I manage about 11-12 city and I've done as good as 18 highway on my 2002 4x4 with the 5.4. She has 150,000 miles on her, as well, and all stock.

    Good day ruined

    Depending on how dead the battery was and how far a drive you have back home, you may be fine letting the alternator recharge the battery. If you have a short trip, I'd put a battery charger on it overnight and see if the battery recovers. I've done the same thing before (forgetting to turn...

    General Tires

    I have read that General and Continental are, essentially, one in the same. The Continental ContiTrac TR is their all-terrain tire and has not been recieved well in the truck and SUV market. Lots of sidewall issues, blowouts, etc. Treadwear is apparently outstanding, however. From the looks...

    Ford Design Engineers SUCK!!!!

    Sorry to hear you've had such bad luck with your Expedition. Personally, I bought my 2002 new with 3 miles on her. Today on my way into work, she turned the 150,000 mark. While I have had to do (2) COP's in that timeframe, I have had no other failures whatsoever. On my 3rd set of tires...

    Compass Claibration 2004 Expo

    I had to do a similar calibration on my 2002 about 2 years ago. I forget the exact steps, but I had to hold in 2 buttons for 15 seconds to put the overhead compass in configuration mode, then drive in circles for about a minute. Once it set itself, it was good to go. There is a post here in...

    Good Winter Tires

    Are you sure about the snowflake rated? I'm running that tire but don't see the "snowflake on the mountain" emblem anywhere on the sidewall. Are you, perhaps, looking at the 4-season design emblem (rain, sun, snowflake) which the words Cross Country are surrounding? I'm not saying you are...

    What do yal think about these Expys?

    Couldn't agree more. Everyone in this great nation has the right to do what they want to enhance the look of their vehicles. While I choose brush guards and rugged looking equipment, others choose big wheels, custom paint. It's all good!!! Best part of it all - EXPEDITIONS!!!!

    What do yal think about these Expys?

    Just my personal preferences, but I also chose neither of them. The slammed look with big 22's just isn't my cup of tea. I like the rugged look of my 2002 and have told friends that if I ever get the urge to slap some 22's or 24's on my truck to shoot me before I get to that point.

    Can I Fit These Tires ?

    I know the stock size on the 4x2 Sport Appearance Package Expeditions was a 275/60R17, so I guess the 55 series tire should fit without too much trouble. Are you running the stock 17" rims or do you have aftermarket rims in mind?

    A lil disapointed...

    The last snowstorm we had here in southeast PA dropped about a foot of snow overnight. I ended up getting stuck trying to get up our driveway, but I contribute that to the tires I have. After about a minute of sawing the wheel back and forth, I got up the driveway fine. I've always had...

    Looking to add a brush guard... help & pic request

    I have a full wrap-a-round GoRhino guard on my Expedition and it has held up very well over the years. I had to push my dad's Durango up the street after it died to a service station and the guard did fine. I have (2) PIAA driving lights mounted on the crossbar. Well built product!!
