    Bulletproof???

    To OP, I have a 2008 Expy with 223K+ OG miles on it you should get it thoroughly checked by a mechanic (don't go to the dealership they will pillage your wallet), and get your Expy computer scanned to find if there are any other things that need to be replaced.

    2014 Limited 5.4 3 V Plugs question

    You can also use Mopar Engine Degreaser, spray the plugs and soak them overnight. They'll come out far easier without breakage. I have a 2008 Expy with the V8/3v, and 220K+ miles it's basically all stock except the air filter. Try not to go to the dealership they are there to rape your...

    Coolant recommendation

    To OP: I have a 2008 Expy 3rd Gen with 230K miles on it, there are other substitutes for the stock Motorcraft antifreeze you can use Valvoline Zerez G05 works the same as Motorcraft's and sometimes at a lower price.

    Catch Can!

    Hello folks, Just reading and catching up on the stories, it pretty much applies to all Expy's from V8 to EcoBoost's. I haven't read all the posts but wondering how about the ones for the high mileage Expy's? I have a 2008 Expy Limited with minor engine MODS (if you consider a K&N reusable...

    Lift gate strut

    To OP: I have a 2008 Ford Expy Limited and basically, all our rear window gas struts are the same from 2007-2017. Two weeks ago I replaced mine, simple procedure all you need is small flat head screw driver and a broomstick without the bristles. INSTRUCTIONS: Lift the glass up, lodge the...

    MY 08 EL EDDIE BAUER SUSPENSION IS STIFF AS A BOARD - REPLACED WITH STANDARD ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO

    To the OP: I have an 08 Expy Limited (not an EL), mostly stock with minimal upgrades. I changed all 4 of my strut assembly to Moog (4, @$725.00 | installation: $800.00 | total: $1,525.00), then OEM at around 200K miles. If you are getting a harsh ride than that smooth ride that Expy's are...

    Towing - mirrors?

    To: OP & others, I have a 08 Expy I trail a 21' foot boat on a tandem trailer, been using the Fit System 3891 Deluxe Universal Clip-on Trailer Towing Mirror for 5 years. It's probably one of the best clip-on mirror on the market with no fail. They give a good 6" inch extension from edge to...

    Polyeruthane or Kevlar Body Mounts for 2008 Ford Expedition Limited 5.4L

    tommyddsr.... I got tired of researching for polyurethane body mounts for the Expedition, but they are out there. As for today there is no company besides Ford and Dorman that produces Expy OEM body mounts. They sell polyurethane body mounts for the F150 as they are the same fittings as...

    Polyeruthane or Kevlar Body Mounts for 2008 Ford Expedition Limited 5.4L

    Tommyddsr... Don't know about Naumoff if he installed his or not, as for mine I got my mechanic to install them. It took 7 hours to install them basically an entire day. I changed only the belly (4), and not the entire set (8), it made a huge difference it was like night and day from cavity...

    If You Could Check One DREAM Option...

    It must be great to have twin twirling turbo's on the new Expy's but, you'd actually have to baby the engine. That's a lot of moving parts in the engine bay, for performance and durability and if they had the option I'd purchase the new Expy MAX if they had the 7.2L diesel in them.

    Polyeruthane or Kevlar Body Mounts for 2008 Ford Expedition Limited 5.4L

    Naumoff If it's for the Expy and the cage nut has spun you're going to be digging into your upholstery. Replacing the 4 under your belly depends on if your cage nut doesn't spin, replacing all the bushings that's a huge job. The ones that are on the belly the front ones are located between...

    What do you pay for an oil change?

    Dam you blokes from across the pond, that's an expensive oil change. It's best to do it yourself, you'll save a lot money now and into the future. I have an 08 Expy with 210K miles on it, the only thing that's expensive is my oil filter (Bosch Distance Plus $10-$12). On Amazon/US you can get...

    10W30?

    To OP, Unless the manual says something else I use Castro 5w-20 synthetic blend, when I start towing my boat I change my oil every 3,000 mile and when I don't I go back to 5K miles. And I too live in the disgusting humid weather of Houston, TEXAS. My Expy is 2008 with 210K miles on it, I...

    To OP, I have a 2008 Ford Expy Limited with no 4x4 it has 210K+ miles on it with HD towing package it's best to purchase the HD towing package. I may not be pulling all 9,200 lbs but it's assurance that I have towing gear to do so. Seasonally I tow 21ft center console with a Yamaha F200 on a...
